Thin Lizzy - The Boys Are Back in Town

Rating:
Summary: Rhino's Lazy Word.
Review: If you already have the old VHS, you don't need buy this DVD. This DVD doesn't have anything new to offer for you. No better quality of sound and image and no bonus track. Rhino just recorded the WHS into DVD. Rhino's lazy boys... Thin Lizzy deserve much more than this!

Summary: Shoddy production
Review: Some great guitar sequences between Gorham and Moore but unfortunately you can't hear them properly. Brian Downey is missing and this is really one to stay away from.

Rating:
Summary: Avoid especially if your a die hard fan
Review: Sound is incredibly horribly terribly bad. Video is ok. Extremely dissapointed. Feel I should destroy my copy to protect real fans of a great band from seeing it. Rhino video is a name I'll avoid in the future if possible. Very lazy indeed. Just horrible and painful even for a die hard fan of one of the best bands of all time. Thin Lizzy. Looking for something better on the boys.

Summary: Skip this if you are not a diehard Thin Lizzy fan.
Review: The audio is terrible on this, and the volume is not consistant. The cameras are panning the crowd or off somewhere durring some guitar solos. Gary Moore is great, but Brian Downey is missing on drums. The Thin Lizzy sound that took them to the top was Lynott, Gorham, Robertson and Downey (the video cover says original members, but that is false). I can't believe Rhino did not re-engineer the sound on this. The video "Live and Dangerous" (out of print) blows this video away.

Summary: Only for die hard thin lizzy fans
Review: the sound of this release is just awful! One of the poorest I've ever heard for a "remastered" disc. The camera work is okay (you have to remember the year it was) you can actually see a small crew pushing a large television studio camera back and forth in front of the stage. But the sound just kills this disc.

Summary: A relentless assault
Review: This video is just what I have been looking for. It seems live Thin Lizzy footage is hard to come by, and if you are looking for some here it is. Granted, the sound quality isn't like listening to a studio album, but you shouldn't expect that from a live recording. The performance that Lizzy puts on is fantastic, so if you think that you can handle this all out attack on your ear drums then I suggest picking it up. The only complaint I could come up with was that they didn't put the camera on Scott Gorham during some of his solos, instead they kept it on Gary Moore, but that is being really critical.
