From Loudersound.
Thin Lizzy‘s iconic 1978 live album Live And Dangerous is to receive a multi-disc overhaul to celebrate the 45th anniversary of its release. The new, eight-disc set will be released on January 20 next year, and is available to pre-order now (opens in new tab).
The new version will feature the original album – compiled from recordings made at London’s Hammersmith Odeon in 1976 and from a King Biscuit Flower Hour radio concert recorded at the Tower Theater in Philadelphia the following year – alongside six other shows recorded for prospective inclusion on Live And Dangerous. Full tracklist below.
While debate has raged long and hard about how much of the album was actually recorded live – producer Tony Visconti famously claimed that 75% of Live And Dangerous was recreated after the fact in the studio, while a former Lizzy manager has said it was 75% live – no amount of post-event tinkering can reduce the impact of an album regularly ranked as one of the greatest live albums of all time (it’s at number two in our own list, just behind Deep Purple’s Made In Japan).
“The super deluxe edition of Live And Dangerous finally puts to bed the myth that the album was extensively overdubbed in the studio,” says the band’s label, “and proves that Thin Lizzy was not only at the top of their game night after night but was one of the best live bands of the 1970s.”
The new package also includes sleeve notes and new interviews courtesy of Classic Rock writer Mark Blake, plus a booklet filled with rare photos and memorabilia.
