The Arena program last nite on BBC2 was about tribute bands some were ok but the best by far were Limehouse Lizzy, the lead singer sounded just like Phil Lynott, they got a website{ www.limehouselizzy.co.uk so any old rockers on the forum get surfing 8-)

No intention of seeing a pretend band - last time I heard a band performing Thin Lizzy hits they were being sung by a certain Phil Lynott
I saw the real band
-
I had an Auntie Lizzy, and she was thin ::)

:oI was there in 83, Lizzy, B Sab, Stranglers, Suzi Q (Ding Dong) Sab lit up these HUGE white crosses, i'l never forget it. I still lived down south then & too many of us piled into a blue Austin 1300. I was a young innocent (thin) 20yr. old. I zipped myself up in my sleeping bag, rolled around blindly into someones bonfire, was it yours? More memories than i can bore people with on here. Do'nt getme started on Stonehenge!!!!!!!!!!!!

I remember standing in the arena shouting at Ian Gillan coz he was sh*te with Sabbath, but then again I was pi**ed/st**ed at the time. I blame the pubs opening at 10AM forcing me into a liquid breakfast/lunch. ;D
Nearly got arrested for knicking wood from derelict houses in the town, how did we know they were going to be renovated.
Didn't get to see Suzi Q I was outside my tent sleeping off lunch in the sun.
I've found a couple of Sabbath bootlegs and a BBC recording of Lizzy, brings back some fun memories. ;D

I have a good Thin Lizzy mix on my computer..Good Band.. :y

I never saw Lizzie, cause they didn't often come up to Glasgow in those days, but one of my fav LPs is "Thunder and Lightning". The way they run the "Cowboys Song" into "The Boys are Back", is pure class, one of those moments that are rarely equalled. Another example is Stepenwolf, when they run "The Pusher" into "Born to be Wild"

Back in the 80s I saw some good bands, support acts blowing off headline acts is always funny.
NEVER have Van Halen as a support act!

Theres nothing wrong with tribute bands, I saw Thin Lizzy when they still played pubs The Winning Post in Twickenham early 70s :o
-
Sometime late 80's went to Wembley to see Simple Minds who are better at home or in car than live, but Texas were the support (although they played after???) They were new then but better on stage than Simple Minds, everyone got into it. Also between bands they played Bob Marley Legends album & we all laughed at security trying to get the joker who climbed the central tower.
Was anyone else there?
