"Younger Than You" does beat a five note riff into the ground with authority and I don't kno...

Thin Lizzy-'Live and Dangerous' (1978)

  Artist: Thin Lizzy Title:  'Live and Dangerous' Label: Warner Bros. Format: CD Catalog Number: 3213-2 Year of Release: 1978 Country and Year of Edition: US 1989 Sell Price: $7.59 Sell Date: 8/7/26 Condition: VG+/VG+ Discogs Last Sold:  8/9/26 NM/NM $10.99 Low: $2.99 Median: $6.98 Average: $7.57 High: $19.00 Current low price: $5.39 (UK) $6.99 (US) Curren Number on Sale at Discogs: 17 Have/Want: 688/103 Where Sold: Highland, IN Time It Took To Sell:  3 years Where and When Bought: Facebook marketplace lot Gwiz-gau Letter Grade: A Sad To See It Go: No 'Live and Dangerous' is one of the best 70's double live albums, fully listenable on it's own and not making one pine for the studio versions the way some live albums do.  I think much of it has to do with much of the bands catalog not being easily available in the US when Jailbreak broke and really only Johnny The Fox and Bad Reputation were commercially successful here in it's wake. This meant the cruci...

Later on, all this music was compiled and the band was renam...
