Life Live - Disc 1 of 2\n1993 Metal Blade Records\n\nOriginally Released 1983\nMetal Blade CD Edition Released April 13, 1993 \n\nAMG EXPERT REVIEW: AMG REVIEW: Life? More like Life-less. After Thin Lizzy wrapped up their successful "farewell" tour, their second live album was issued. It was originally supposed to be issued during the tour, but extensive overdubbing and nitpicking pushed the album's release toward year's end -- after the publicity from the tour had died down. The two-LP Life is not even close to being a worthy successor to its exceptional predecessor, 1978's classic Live and Dangerous. Instead of replicating the rough energy and spontaneity of Live and Dangerous, the overall sound of Life is reminiscent of their '80s studio albums -- polished pop gloss. An obvious reason for the album's failure is the fact that Lizzy's songwriting in the '80s was not on par with their '70s work, as evidenced by such tracks as "Angel of Death," "Thunder and Lighting" and "Renegade," among others. Older standards ("Jailbreak," "Are You Ready," "Emerald," etc.) fare much better, especially a slow version of "Don't Believe a Word," "Got to Give It Up" and "Black Rose," which features guest guitarist Gary Moore successfully replicating the track's unbelievable extended solo. Still, Life is for diehard fans only -- everyone else should stick with the superior Live and Dangerous. -- Greg Prato\n\nAmazon.com Album Description\nThin Lizzy was a hard rock quartet formed by Philip Lynott out of Dublin, Ireland that had numerous charting albums throughout the 70's & 80s. Wounded Bird will be re-issuing five of those albums on CD. Life-Live is a two CD set of the double live album that was originally released in 1984. It features guitarists Gary Moore, John Sykes and Snowy White. This CD features a live version of their biggest hit Boys Are Back In Town. This release features 19 tracks on 2 CD's in a slimline jewelbox. \n\nAmazon.com Customer Review\nThe "forgotten" live Lizzy LP..., June 11, 2000 \nReviewer: Stephanie Sandlin from Yakima, Washington \nThis often ignored double vinyl album came at the end of Lizzy's 13 year career in 1983. \n\nRecorded on the band's farewell tour, it offers the band stomping through old favorites as well as newer material from "Black Rose" right up to "Thunder and Lightning." The more diverse cross section of material performed on this release make it superior to its higher grossing sibling live album "Live & Dangerous." \n\nThe mix is a little flat, but it's the music that matters the most. It's great to hear the incredible versions of "The Sun Goes Down," Phil's delicate vocals on "Still in Love with you," and the amazing finale of "The Rocker." During "The Rocker" nearly every guitarist who ever performed reguarly with Lizzy is there - Bell, Gorham, White, Robertson, Moore, and Sykes. It's ear candy to hear all the Lizzy guitarists seguing back and forth.\n\nThe bottom line here is that for the wonderful cross section of material this is a must have set for the Lizzy fan. If you aren't familiar with later Lizzy this is a nice package to pick up to introduce yourself. Loaded with all the old favs and the '79 and later material it's a special treat. \n\nHalf.com Album Credits\nPhil Lynott, Producer\nThin Lizzy, Producer\n\nAlbum Notes\nThin Lizzy: Phil Lynott (vocals, 12-string guitar, bass); Scott Gorham, Snowy White, John Sykes (guitar); Darren Wharton (keyboards); Brian Downey (drums).\n\nAdditional personnel: Gary Moore, Eric Bell, Brian Robertson.\n\nRecorded during the band's 1983 farewell tour, 'Life-Live' is actually Thin Lizzy's second official live album (the first being 1978's 'Live & Dangerous').
