A monumental live album that laid the foundation for the live rock myth.
The performance by the golden lineup of Scott Gorham and Brian Robertson (twin guitars), Phil Lynott (bass/vocals), and Brian Downey (drums) exudes a powerful energy and tension, despite being recorded live. Critics have called it "one of the greatest double-LP live performances of the '70s" and "a true live classic." The album reached number two in the UK charts and has achieved platinum sales. Phil's audience-inducing improvisations, the sharpness of the guitar duets, the development of songs like "The Boys Are Back in Town" and "Still in Love with You" in the middle to late part of the album, and the flow of the final track, "The Rocker," truly embody the golden rule of live rock.
