Play sample :
This week’s THIN LIZZY collection, where the ultimate real album “DEFINITIVE BOSTON 1977 (Zodiac 541)” is born. Another masterpiece that will be its sister work will also be released at the same time.
“Performance in Detroit on October 26, 1977” is imbued in this work. It is the close contact audience recording. As I mentioned in the commentary on the sister work “DEFINITIVE BOSTON 1977”, in 1977, one half of the twin leads changed depending on the time. Gary Moore played in “DEFINITIVE SEATTLE 1977 (Zodiac 537)” released the other day, and Brian Robertson played in “DEFINITIVE BOSTON 1977” released at the same time. So what about this work? Let’s check the tour schedule immediately.
“November 1976: Robo injured → Gary participated”
* January 3: London performance
* January 18-March 18: North America # 1 (37 performances) ← * SEATTLE 1977
《March 25: Announcement of Robo’s withdrawal → Formation of a trio》
《Completion of “BAD REPUTATION” in June》
《July 20: Robo’s Return Announcement》

・September 21-November 5: North America #2 (32 performances) ← Coco
・ November 11-December 17: UK (28 performances)
*Note: Shows marked with “・” are Robo’s, and shows with “*” are Gary’s participation.
This is THIN LIZZY in 1977. Robo was injured in a fight at the end of the previous year, and Gary participated in the help. He acted as a pinch hitter in “North America #1”. After that, Robo announced his withdrawal in March, but he returned in July. I will accompany the tour for one year until I withdraw again in July 1978. The Detroit performance of this work was the 26th performance of “North America # 2” during such a return to Robo. I think some people have already come to the pin, but this week’s new press masterpiece “DEFINITIVE BOSTON 1977” is also the same “North America # 2” live album. Let’s focus more on the schedule here.
・September 21-October 19 (21 performances)
☆October 20 “PHILADELPHIA 1977 1ST NIGHT” & Official L&D
・October 21: Philadelphia performance ← *Official L&D
・October 22: Performance in New York
☆October 23 “DEFINITIVE BOSTON 1977”
☆October 26th: Detroit performance ←★This work★
・October 28: Toronto performance ← *Official L&D (?)
・October 29-November 5 (5 performances)
*Note: The “☆” marks are live performances that can be heard in our collection.
… and it looks like this. “DEFINITIVE BOSTON 1977” and this work are in between the Philadelphia performances and Toronto performances that became the original story of the historical masterpiece “LIVE AND DANGEROUS”. It was also the next stage of the Boston performance.
This work, which is a vacuum-packed version of such a show, is both a prestigious and a new excavation master. “DEFINITIVE BOSTON 1977” was also a new excavation by the prestigious “Krw_co”, but this work is another prestigious product announced by “JEMS”. And this work is also the best sound. Although it is a monaural recording, the thick core reaches your ears with zero sense of distance, and the details are fine and vivid. The freshness of the master is also excellent, and if the separate is beautiful, the luster is super beautiful, with no dubbing deterioration seen at all.
Moreover, this work is the highest peak board that “GRAF ZEPPELIN” has refined with detailed mastering. Originally natural and beautiful, “GRAF ZEPPELIN” without powerful processing doesn’t change much … I thought, but when I listened to it, the big difference was the pitch. As a matter of fact, the original sound released by “JEMS” has been precisely adjusted for the sound whose pitch was almost half-tone out of order, and has been reborn as a crisp and stable sound.
A show different from “DEFINITIVE BOSTON 1977” is drawn with that thick sound. Actually, it is an incomplete recording, but on the other hand, there are songs that were not played in “DEFINITIVE BOSTON 1977” the day before. Let’s sort it out while comparing at the end.
●Songs heard in “Live and Dangerous”
・Jailbreak: Jailbreak/Emerald/Warriors/Cowboy Song/The Boys Are Back In Town
・Others: Still In Love With You/Johnny The Fox Meets Jimmy The Weed/Massacre (★)/Dancing in the Moonlight (It’s Caught Me in Its Spotlight)/Southbound/Are You Ready
● Songs that cannot be heard in “Live and Dangerous”
Infamy: Soldier Of Fortune/Opium Trail/Bad Reputation
・Other: Johnny
* Note: “★” marks are songs that cannot be heard on the press masterpiece “DEFINITIVE BOSTON 1977 (Zodiac 541)” released at the same time.
Although it was introduced from the Shades label due to its monaural recording and incompleteness, the sound quality is official grade far from the audience, and the content of the show is the magnificence of the peak era. No way that miracle level recording was left for two performances in a row …. Originally, a three-disc press set with “DEFINITIVE BOSTON 1977” was suitable, but we decided to give it a different title so that even those who are underestimating the audience recording can experience it widely. First of all, the full live album “DEFINITIVE BOSTON 1977” is a must-listen. It doesn’t shake even a speck of dust. However, once you experience “DEFINITIVE BOSTON 1977”, you will think “more!” A sister version that responds to such dryness. Please enjoy it to your heart’s content.
★ Close audience recording of “Detroit performance on October 26, 1977”. Ultra-direct recording announced by the prestigious “JEMS”, the thick core reaches the ear with zero sense of distance, and the details are fine and vivid. The freshness of the master is also excellent, and if the separate is beautiful, the dubbing deterioration can not be seen at all, and the luster is super beautiful. You can experience the golden show of the same period as “LIVE AND DANGEROUS” with a powerful sound far from the audience.
