Today we feature one of the most influential bands of the 70's, Thin Lizzy! The band rolled in to the Tower Theater in Upper Darby, PA for a two night stand- October 20 and 21, 1977 on the Bad Reputation tour. Recorded for King Biscuit Flower Hour and later culled tapes used for the official Live Album, "Live and Dangerous" although uncredited After 3 0yrs of lockup, guitarist Scott Gorham and Glyn Johns dusted off the tracks, remixed and remastered the tapes and released the album, "Still Dangerous - Live at the Tower Theater 1977" in 2009. This album is 100% live, no overdubs or re-edits. These shows at the Tower are regarded as one of the best on tour and it highlights the band's raw and fierce live act in their Prime!
