Live and Dangerous
is a live
double album
by the Irish rock band
released in
June 1978.
It was recorded in
London in 1976,
and
Philadelphia and Toronto
in 1977,
with further production
in Paris.
It was also the last
Thin Lizzy album
to feature guitarist
Brian Robertson,
who left the band
shortly after its release.
The band decided to
release a live album
after their producer
Tony Visconti
did not have enough time
to work on a
full studio session.
They listened through
various archive recordings
from earlier tours
and compiled the album
from the best versions.
Various studio overdubs
were made to the
live recordings
during early 1978
in Paris;
exactly how much
of the album is
overdubbed has been
a contentious topic
since its release.
The album reached No. 2
in the
UK Albums Chart,
ultimately selling over
half a million copies
in the UK.
It has continued
to attract critical acclaim
and it has appeared
in several lists
of the greatest
live albums
of all time.
