Customer Reviews

A Documentary Not A Concert !
First of all this is not Thin Lizzy's 1978 gig at the Rainbow Theatre in London it's a unofficial documentary looking at the classic Live And Dangerous album. Track by track analysis are provided by rock critics and journalists such as Total Rock's Malcolm Dome and Jerry Ewing and includes contributions from Phil Lynott's mother Philomena.The most plentiful clips are from the concert at Sydney Harbour Bridge and not of the Rainbow Theatre and does not feature many sound clips from the Live Dangerous album either. This I admit would have made the DVD so much better. I can understand the bad reviews as some people may have been misled but if you look at it for what is is, it's quite an interesting documentary. At the end of the day if you want the Live & Dangerous concert then just buy the Live & Dangerous concert DVD (Which is now available to buy) otherwise if you want an interesting look at a great live album then buy this. It's worth the price.

Younger fans are spoiled
Those of us going to concerts pre-VCR days and only lucky enough to get an occasional clip on TOTP or PGWT aret he ones who will truly appreciate gems like this.

Yes, the sound is not up to the standards of 2007.

It's 30 year old low budget footage !

It's a godsend to us older fans to get stuff like this, and they did a very nice job by adding in the interviews, the 83 show and the extra audio CD.

There isn't a lot of Pro-Shot Lizzy footage around, be thankful we finally get this one.

old material re-hashed
If you don't have any Lizzy material on DVD or VHS then this is fine. If you have Lizzy live at the Rainbow on VHS then don't buy this, as it is the same show rehashed under a new title. The live and dangerous album remains a classic which this material only occasionally gets near. Soundwise, whereas my L&D vinyl is amazing, this is mushy, too much bass. Unless you are a collector or super fan rent this off Amazon, seeing once will be ample.
