I'm not really familiar with Thin Lizzy outside of a couple of 'hits', so I can't really comment on how this compares to their recorded/studio output. Whatever the case, it sounds like a killer concert, with some wailing guitar. I had read that TL's guitar harmonies were an influence on Metallica's Cliff Burton and that sounds about right from what I can hear here.
The music is exciting and (literally and figuratively) electric. I've mentioned in the past that live albums are not usually my favourite thing, and long albums are also not usually a favourite of mine - this is both.
The live part doesn't really worry me here because (judging from the one or two songs of theirs I had heard before) they seem like one of those bands that probably sounded a bit tamer in the studio but then really unleash live. For all of the excitement and vitality, the running time did kind of wear me down a bit by the end and I started to lose my concentration on the music.
