Thin Lizzy : Live & Dangerous

Live and Dangerous 

is a live 

double album

 by the

 Irish rock band

 Thin Lizzy

 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. 

The group 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 

 exactly how much of the album

 is overdubbed has been a 

contentious topic

 since its release.

 The album reached No. 2 

in the UK album charts,

 ultimately selling over

 half a million copies.

 It has continued to 

attract critical acclaim

 and it has appeared in 

several lists of

 the greatest live albums

 of all time
