News Digest - Monday, November 12

It's been almost 30 years since Thin Lizzy recorded their seminal live album, Live And Dangerous. Now, the remaining members of the band are to play the  LP in its entirety during their forthcoming November/December 2007 UK tour. "This album meant too much, not only to us as a band, but to our fans as well, to let the 30th anniversary of its recording pass without celebrating it in some way", says guitarist Scott Graham.

  • Hate to be pedantic, but i cant allow the mistake of naming Lizzy's phenomenal guitarist Scott Gorham 'Scott Graham" go unnoticed. It just shouldn't happen.
