Le 19 août 2005, à la veille de son 56e anniversaire, une statue de Phil Lynott a été dévoilée à Grafton Street à Dublin par sa mère. Des membres de Thin Lizzy de toute la carrière du groupe ont assisté à l’événement. Le soir suivant, ils ont uni leurs forces sous la direction de Gary Moore pour un concert qui a rendu hommage à la mémoire de Lynott.

Black Star Riders, founded by members of the legendary Thin Lizzy, played Wacken after having released their debut album "All Hell Breaks Loose". Be sure, the boys are back in town!

Thin Lizzy en octobre 1978, où plus de 26 000 fans en délire ont envahi l'opéra de Sydney en Australie pour un concert inoubliable de ce groupe monstre de rock 'n roll. Avec le maître du blues Gary Moore à la guitare et le leader Phil Lynott faisant exploser la ligne de basse et chantant de tout son cœur, il n'est pas étonnant qu'il n'y ait eu que des places debout. Les années 70 étaient une époque où les quatre groupes de puissance dominaient la musique rock, et Thin Lizzy était l'un des meilleurs !

Sur scène au National Stadium de Dublin est décrit comme le « Saint Graal » pour les fans de Thin Lizzy, capturant le groupe à son meilleur devant un public en adoration à Dublin. Il s’agit de la seule séquence en direct de nombreux classiques de l’ère Fighting. L’audio original du spectacle a été récemment restauré et remasterisé pour 2012, permettant aux fans d’entendre à juste titre le groupe dans toute sa splendeur.

When Thin Lizzy frontman Phil Lynott died on 4 January 1986, he was 36 years old. His early death from a drug-related illness placed him in the same rock 'n' roll league as his idols Elvis and Jimi Hendrix. This documentary looks behind the image to reveal the strains of life in the fast lane. It also focuses on Lynott as family man, writer, and black Irishman with a Brazilian father. Includes contributions from Bono, Van Morrison, Mark Knopfler, Scott Gorham, and Lynott's wife Caroline Crowther, who speaks publicly for the first time. (Radio Times)

Thin Lizzy a été fondé à Dublin en 1969 par Phil Lynott et Brian Downey. En l'espace de 13 ans et pas moins de 12 albums studio le groupe s'impose comme un des fers de lance du renouveau du hard rock anglais. Toute la carrière du groupe est abordée dans ce DVD, même le dernier concert de Phil Lynott au festival de Reading de 1983. La BBC a apporté l'ensemble de ses archives, malheureusement certaines bandes avaient été perdues ou effacées.

Thin Lizzy rocks Australia outside the famed Sydney Opera House in this October 1978 performance. The lineup, consisting of Phil Lynott, Scott Gorham, Gary Moore & Mark Nauseef, performs an array of fan favorites including Jailbreak, The Boys Are Back In Town, Bad Reputation & more. Featuring remixed audio and cleaned up picture, this show captures Thin Lizzy at the top of their game.

This is the very best of Thin Lizzy in performance. These rarely seen live performances by Thin Lizzy perfectly capture the band at their peak - on stage, hard and loud. Lizzy set the benchmark for live rock music which has never been equalled or surpassed. This unique film includes previously unreleased footage of Thin Lizzy in vintage performances from the key stages of their career. From the original line-up with Eric Bell through the classic Live and Dangerous era with Scott Gorham and Brian Robertson, and onto the very last incarnation of the band, this is why Lizzy has never been equalled as a live band. From such classics as 'The Boys Are Back In Town' and 'Whiskey In The Jar' to thundering versions of 'Massacre' and 'Sha-la-la', here is the proof which shows why Lizzy is so influential today and how they played their way to legendary status.

A feature documentary on the life and music of Phil Lynott, telling the story of how a young black boy from working class 1950s Dublin became Ireland’s greatest Rock Star. As lead singer of Thin Lizzy, Phil Lynott was a songwriter, a poet, a dreamer, a wild man. Told extensively through the words of Lynott himself and focusing on some of his iconic songs, the film gets to the heart of Philip, the father, the husband, the friend, the son, the rock icon, the poet and the dreamer.

This is the long awaited 'Thunder And Lightning Tour'; the tour that was to prove Phil Lynott's and Thin Lizzy's last. The year is 1983, the venue Dublin and the stage is rockin'! To add to the already charged atmosphere of a concert in waiting, we have fast-forwarded in time to include nostalgic comment from Phil's band mates Brian Robertson and Eric Bell recalling their eventful times together, plus the indestructible footballing legend George Best and musician Brush Shiel, recalling their many memories of the rocker and friend. But all this is merely a prelude to what is a pulverising gig containing all conquering favourites such as 'Whiskey In The Jar' and 'Dancing In The Moonlight' and many more. The 'Thunder And Lightning Tour' is quite simply the greatest performance from a group who were at their electrifying best.

Ce documentaire est un aperçu de l'histoire continue du Metal, selon les mots des individus qui le font, le vivent, le respirent et le maintiennent en vie. Les groupes. Les fans, les producteurs, l'industrie et les journalistes. Qu'est-ce qui le fait marcher, pourquoi rien d'autre ne peut le toucher pour sa puissance, son émotion et sa longévité, pourquoi il est incompris, pourquoi il s'en moque, comment il continue à bouleverser la société, comment il manipule les médias, la positivité, et la façon dont il a enfoncé son iconographie et son éthique dans un courant dominant peu méfiant et peu désireux.

Affectionate but honest portrait of Thin Lizzy, arguably the best hard rock band to come out of Ireland. Starting with the remix of the classic album Jailbreak by Scott Gorham and Brian Downie, the film takes us through the rollercoaster ride that is the story of Thin Lizzy. From early footage of singer Phil Lynott in Ireland in his pre-Lizzy bands the Black Eagles and Orphanage, it follows his progress as he, guitarist Eric Bell and drummer Brian Downie form the basic three-piece that was to become Thin Lizzy - a name taken from the Beano. Using original interviews with Bell, Downie, the man who signed them and their first manager, it traces the early years leading to the recruitment of guitarists Brian 'Robbo' Robertson and Scott Gorham - the classic line-up. The film uses a number of stills, some seen on TV for the first time, archive from contemporary TV shows and a range of tracks both well known and not so famous.

Tourné devant une foule immense au Festival Rockpalast en Allemagne, cette performance de Thin Lizzy en 1981 est l'un des rares enregistrements de DVD en direct d'un spectacle entier. Le groupe à l'époque était composé de Phil Lynott, Scott Gorham, Brian Downey, Darren Wharton et Snowy White (guitares) arrivé un an plus tôt pour remplacer Gary Moore pour l'album de "Chinatown". "Renegade" venait de sortir et le groupe était au milieu d'une tournée mondiale pour soutenir l'album.

A look at the life of Phil Lynott, lead singer of the band; a man whose talent was known worldwide, but whose early life was less well documented. This includes interviews with his mother, band members, and a lot of footage of the music.
