i like all of Rory's studio and live albums, but if i had to pick just one then it would be Irish Tour '74...Such an authentic live album recorded in those Irish cities that Rory held close to his heart.- BluesRocker

Van Morrison has always been a miserable old bastard...i have never really liked him or his music,..he has been called an Irish Bob Dylan, that is a real discredit to Bob..Van has had a bit of a reputation of walking off stage and not finishing a concert because things have upset him..fans...- BluesRocker

Those guitar harmonies of Scott and Snowy on the Chinatown album are really nice...by the time that the Renegade album came around, some of the guitar work was not so good..i think a lot of this was down to Scott because of his heroin addiction, i remember reading an article about Scott on that...- BluesRocker

Side A of Chinatown is excellent, but Side B is not so good...The track 'Killer on the Loose,' which was on the Chinatown album, was released as a single and on the B side of it was a song called 'Don't Play Around'..i really thought that should have made it on to the album, but it...- BluesRocker

Thin Lizzy (Official Thread)
Thin Lizzy live in 1981 when Snowy White was in the band..Snowy got a bit of stick at times when he was in Lizzy and unfairly i thought..He was never going to be another Brian Robertson or Gary Moore but he is a great guitarist and his solo here on 'Don't Believe a Word' is superb...8 min live...- BluesRocker
