Written on the way home

What people wrote about nights here

  • A guest 100% for Thin Lizzy · Fri, 20 Oct 1978

    I was at the show. I'll always remember those police sirens and lights in the intro of 'Jailbreak'. What a way to start this show.
    I was at soundcheck in the afternoon. I had skipped my afternoon classes at QIT next door 9first year architecture student) so I could catch the soundcheck. I wasn't disappointed.
    Gary Moore was playing-up to the Channel 7 TV news cameras who were filming the soundcheck. Scott Gorham looked bored as I recall. Phil walked down a ramp which led off the front of the stage (soundcheck only) and walked up the hill to the mixing desk/lighting tower while he played.
    He passed by just a few feet from me. I was a big fan so it was a great moment for me. At the show I took a couple of 'happy-snaps' with my dodgy little film camera but they aren't much good. I do however have a decent photo of the stage setup at before the sun went down.
