I would also recommend the live version from one of the most dynamic live albums ever, Live And Dangerous. In fact side 3 is an a absolute masterclass in intensity and pacing. Starts with Cowboy Song, straight into The Boys Are Back In Town, Don't Believe A Word, Warriors and Are You Ready. The dual guitar attack of Brian Robertson and Scott Gorham really comes to the fore, Wishbone Ash had a similar dual guitar style. Was fortunate to see them live 3 times although not with Robbo unfortunately. Still one of the best live bands I ever saw. Another live album that never gets the kudos it deserves is Viva Roxy Music. Released in 1976 it bucked the trend at the time having only 8 tracks when the norm was double or triple albums. The last 3 songs (side 2), If There Is Something, In Every Dream Home and Do The Strand are breathttaking, the first two surpassing the studio versions in my opinion.

Recently gone solo guitarist Sammy Hagar (previously of Montrose) filled in as the opening act, and nearly stole the show, but Thin Lizzy was great and rescued the night. Such a unique band for that time.

As many others have stated here Lizzy is one of those bands who have a live album in this case “Live and Dangerous” that contains the definitive versions of many of their songs. This includes “Cowboy Song”which segues into a rollicking version of “The boys are back in town.” It also features “Still in love with you” which is an incredible ballad which incredible guitar work. PS. The version of “Jailbreak” on that album my well fix the issues you had with the under powered studio version :)

This song actually sounds even better live. I was so lucky to see this amazing band back in 1983 in Belfast on their Thunder & Lightening tour.

you should try their live versions, they are a bit faster and add some energy

I saw Thin Lizzy live many times in the Apollo Theatre in Glasgow and when cowboy song would start the whole crowd would erupt. Ah, Happy times.

My favourite. My mum's is Whiskey in the Jar, which she bought herself and played to me when I came home from school! Cool mum. Phil; gone soo young. Tragic. A victim of his success and excess.

I think it's one of the quintessential rock songs. Easily their best. S tier. And most songs about masturbation are great. Rosie by Jackson Browne is the greatest. I seriously can't believe people don't know what this song is about. He's lonesome on the trail. He's thinking about a certain female. He's riding in the rodeo. Then he's thinking about all those southern girls. Then a reference to down below the border and bustin broncs. 🤣 The we have Roll me over and I'll turn around And I'll move my fingers up and down Up and down Roll me over and set me free A cowboys life is the life for me Yeah Phil. Me too. 😂

Great to see that in honor of Thin Lizzy being an Irish band, Alex wore his Rory Gallagher shirt.

I love seeing young people having the same reaction to this under exposed masterpiece as i did the first time i heard it from an older cousin 40 years ago. That second solo hits you in the face out of nowhere.
