Pullin’ ‘Tubes: Tonight = Jailbreak

You know how soccer is big everywhere but America? Well, the same can be said about the bombastic and raw music of Ireland’s Thin Lizzy. Lead singin’ bass playin’ Phil Lynott wrote some of the most memorable songs of the ’70s including The Boys Are Back In Town and Bad Reputation.

My favorite Thin Lizzy tune of all-time has to be the gritty classic rock staple: Jailbreak. Whenever Team Scumbag and I want to start an evening of debauchery we start with an airing of Jailbreak to get us in the mood. As we said earlier, Thin Lizzy was huge in pretty much every English speaking country but the U.S. Check out the crowd that eats up every note as Thin Lizzy plays outside of the legendary Sydney Opera House in Australia from way back in 1978:
