It's perhaps no surprise to learn that Brian Downey's much missed compadre, Phil Lynott, with the exception of Bob Seger's 'Rosalie', had a clean sweep on writing all the songs featured on one of the greatest live Rock and Roll albums of all time: Thin Lizzy's 'Live and Dangerous'. However, on the richter scale, it's a pretty mean feat for a drummer to have also co-written almost half of those classic songs. Cue Downey's Alive And Dangerous band who played this iconic album in it's entirety last night at Nells Jazz & Blues Club in London's Kensington. In fact they omitted 'Baby Drives Me Crazy' and actually the set list was in a different order to the album - but hey they more than made up for it with the addition of 'Angel From The Coast', 'Bad Reputation' plus the one track that surprisingly isn't on 'LAD' - a certain 'Whiskey In The Jar'. The second gig of two nights saw a storming set, and with more photos and a review to come, check out today's Video Of The Day.
