The double LP Live & Dangerous was the first to capture the dynamic nature of the Thin Lizzy live act. Features many of the best known songs from their most creative period. (US:84 UK:2)

“The inspired Live & Dangerous captured the classic Lizzy line-up firing on all cylinders from the stage. The tight performances showcase their diversity and go-for-it spirit, as well as Lynott's larger than life star power charisma.”

“In the late 70s Thin Lizzy were at the absolute peak of their performance powers, so the timing for recording their first live album couldn’t have been better. Live & Dangerous features the group tearing through their songbook, resulting in definitive versions of their best known tracks.”

“Effectively works as a greatest hits from their material up to that point, except it actually sounds much better played in the live setting than in the studio.”

“A classic live album that really captures the essence of Phil Lynott and the rest of Thin Lizzy. The band are unbelievably tight and the energy in the tunes is incredible. One of the finest live rock albums ever released, the musicianship is top notch and the choice of tracks unbeatable.”

Live & Dangerous is quite possibly the best live album ever made. Phil Lynott never sounded better. His unique vocals and bass-lines real shine. Than there is the twin guitar attack of Brian Robertson and Scott Gorham. A brilliant masterpiece that every serious rock fan should own.”

“Most of the songs here benefit from being played live. The faster numbers take on a new ferocity, the mid-tempo melodic ones take on a languid beauty, and the slower numbers burn with intensity.”

“Phil Lynott and the boys are at their best in the arena setting. They control the crowd with a wonderful combination of rock and roll, blues, soul, and with an ever-present trace of Irish folk.”
