'Live and Dangerous'

One of the most masterful live records ever from one of the most underrated bands in rock history, Thin Lizzy.

They were an Irish band playing rock music  with a black lead singer. Their first hit, "Whiskey in a Jar," was a Irish folk song.

Live and Dangerous is connected to controversy as overdubs were used. To what extent is the question. The producer claims 75 percent of the album was done in studio. The band and others claim 75 percent was done love over the course of a few shows in London.

What is there is Thin Lizzy's undeniable groove and a line-up of face-melting guitar solos. Also, playing harmonica was "Huey Harp," or a bluesman known as Huey Lewis, whose own band, Clover, had just disbanded. Two years later, Lewis would be the frontman for one of the biggest selling bands in the world.
