That's an easy one, despite loving Live and Dangerous... because Strangers is my favorite live album ever, Who's Live at Leeds a close contender.

To me, it's definitely Strangers. My main issue with L&D is that it sounds really touched up. The production on the not played songs on Strangers (Mather Mary and This Kids) sound so much actually more live than Southbound.

There's some great songs on L&D, but for me, most of my favorite Thin Lizzy songs come after L&D, and I muchly prefer Life:Live over L&D.

Lizzy by an absolute country mile...Mogg was a great frontman but Lynott was streets ahead of him, so charismatic, so visual, the tall lean black Irishman with the afro, the wicked grin, his gypsy earring, decked out in his studs n leathers and that mirrored scratch plate on his bass shining off the stage lights and picking out the chicks in the audience...HE WAS, AND STILL IS, ROCK N ROLL...The very last song on Live and Dangerous, 'The Rocker' is just a stunning way to bring the worlds greatest ever live rock album to a close..i have yet to hear a live album closer that can beat 'The Rocker.'...MAGNIFICENT! The entire album is.

Pretty sure UFO's is in my top five live albums of all time. Probably right after Kiss Alive! and Cheap Trick At Budokan. L&D is good and although I like Thin Lizzy, I can't seem to bump them too high among my favorites.

Live And Dangerous

I bought the LIVE AND DANGEROUS 8-cd box set a couple of years ago all for £75 quid!.

In London town I saw a really nice looking young female a few months ago getting on the tube or subway to our American rock cousins and she was wearing a THIN LIZZY LIVE AND DANGEROUS T-shirt with the album cover on the front of her T-shirt which caught my eye, anyway I was thinking of talking to her telling her that I am a BIG Thin Lizzy fan but she may have thought that I was some creepy old dude wanting to chat her up(?) which maybe I was ha ha.. ;)
