Live at the National Stadium Dublin – DVD
This DVD offers a treasure trove for Thin Lizzy fans, offering never-before-released archive material from Ireland’s National broadcaster RTE.
- On Stage at the National Stadium: Concert
- Renegade – The Philip Lynott Story: Documentary
- The Sun Goes Down: Documentary
- Special Bonus Features: “6/5 Live” special RTE TV performance presented by Dave Heffernan featuring two live tracks: “Are You Ready” and “Whiskey in the Jar” plus “Old Town” promo video produced for RTE and featuring Phil Lynott as a solo artist.
I’m vainly hoping they’ll do a deluxe of their unjustly ignored final studio album, Thunder and Lightning – perhaps bundled with the live album that followed it. Not holding my breath though…
