Phil Lynott had such an impact. Midge Ure looks to be loving being part of the band!🎸

[andrewforbes]

Amazing how close to their studio sound this is, and how Midge managed Gary Moose’s parts note perfect

[johnlees]

Love lizzy midge did very well in the group 🎉

[andik]

amazing to see that was the Time Midge was helping out Thin Lizzy while doing Visage & Ultravox 1979/1980 Records....???? Glad he choose Ultravox/Visage ....

What a great clip! Theyre all having such a great time, and Wow, Midge Ure! Such musicianship. So glad to see this document.

Thx for remembereing...looks like real fun after almost 50 years...I was 14, living in a small village in germany, looking "Szene" every Saturday. The show was one of my highlights. At this time I parallel listened to Systems Of Romance from Ultravox and many other brit bands....I remember I was very surprised, seeing him Midge here in the show. From this point I started more on listening Thin Lizzy.

Fair to play to Midge for stepping in looking like a red shirt from Star Trek

Two actual legends who I know were great mates, Phil and Midge. The latter turned 70 last year, he's still rocking and I'll bet he still misses Phil. Superb vid. 👍

[taffyqueens]

Midge is still a brilliant guitarist to this day

The shape & the power of Midge’s guitar

[StellarionPrime]

i love this band ! phil the magic master !

[kitko]

Midge said that he was the worst guitarist Thin Lizzy ever had :) But you don't get to be invited to play with Lizzy by Phil if you're not up to the standard. Period. And Midge is one of the most influential musician ever.

Nice to see Midge involved in playing some music that isn't strictly for the girlies.

[giorgiorinaldi]

I didn’t realize Midge Ure played the guitar so well.

[rayjay]

Best back up singer they ever had. As a guitarist, out of his league….

[phillynott]

Unpopular opinion: I like the live version of this song, with Mark Nauseef, better because he plays a faster beat during the chorus... 🙂

[MrPnew]

Obviously Phil is the cornerstone of any Lizzy performance, and Brian Downey rocks on drums. But what a class act Scott is. The team of Scott and Brian Robertson on twin guitar duties will always be my favourite combination though. No disrespect to Gary Moore or Eric Bell either. IMO, John Sykes was never really a good fit for the band.

Midge rocks and Thin Lizzy rock, and always will....
