Irish Traditional Song 1960s Thin Lizzy - Whiskey in The Jar (Single 1972, Album Vagabonds of the Western World 1973) Philip Lynott - Vocals, Bass Eric Bell - Guitar Brian Downey - Drums
I’m 70 years young now.I’ll tell you what man these where the boys back in the day,I’m still fit .still rocking my bike.still blasting man.still strong .
I wish I was born a lot earlier to have the privilege of going to a record shop to buy a vinyl…born 1979.. Christmas Eve I made the 70s by a week… and proud
In 1972 the great band 'Tweed' played support to this up coming band in Dreamland in Athy Co. Kildare. Myself and and another Tweed fan sat behind their PA that night as they rocked Athy. Thin Lizzy forever...👏👏🎶🎶
Yes great musicians and Phil Lynott, how could you go wrong? Seriously I am more than old enough to remember when this song came out. Who knew that it would be the inspiration for a whole, great genre of music? You know Celtic Punk/Rock.
My dad was 59 when he died, 59. I feel betrayed, I feel like I'm being stood up by god himself. Oh daddy, I'm crying writing this, knowing I'll never hear your voice again or see your cheeky smile. I love you so, so much and my heart has been torn apart. You sent me this beautiful piece of art just months ago and I didn't even bother to react to your mail. Well, here I am now. I love it, daddy. To all of you out there, don't take your parents for granted or anybody for that matter, today they might be fine but they could be gone in a day with no warning.
“Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God and believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, I would have told you; for I go now to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, so that where I am you may be also. I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. And you know the way to where I am going. I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now on you do know him and have seen him. Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you His Kingdom.” - Jesus of Nazareth 🙏
I've heard no less than 50 versions of this song and that one metal band is the only group to disrespect it by playing someone's else's version and making the stupidest video in the world to go along with it. Enough about those sellouts... This has the raddest guitar solo.
Yes sadly missed. What a song and perfect song and music with performance with the band and such tragedie being so young so unhappy and took his life🙈🙈🙈 🤔😢😢😢😢😇sooooo sadddd 🎶🎶🎶👍👍👍so nice and important that I now 7O years old i still can listen and enyou Phil lynott ‘music with thin lizzy ✨🎶🎶🎶💫💫💫🙏🙏🙏Catharina Netherlands
My dad just turned 50 when he died. He gave me the music he enjoyed. This is one of those songs. If I can share with others so they know what music is about, I think I did my dad right 😊
Phil is definitely up in Heaven, because he rocked the Hell right out of himself. Tragic ending to a young life. Be wise kids, and just say no to drugs. No bullshit.
To my old Marine Corps brother... Hey Lucky, I can't hear a Thin Lizzy song without remembering you and your Maverick. 50 years ago, seems like yesterday!
@@bulldog161 She really does. Sadly she can no longer hear music which is a great loss for her and one which I really feel. I cannot imagine what it would be like to never hear music again.
I wasn't working in 73, I was a skinny kid in PNG. I came to Australia in 75 and this was one of the many musical masterpieces that blew my young mind. It never recovered...
I don’t care what anyone says… Phil Lynott was a fucking badass, with a hell of a voice. I’m still surprised that Thin Lizzy’s only hit in the United States was Boys are back in Town.
"Whiskey in The Jar" is an old Irish traditional folk song . Even Peter, Paul, And Mary recorded a version of it. . So, it is fitting that the Irish band, Thin Lizzy also recorded it
50 years later and this song is still so incredible and it's importance on Rock can not be disputed. Bands like this have influenced sooooooo many modern musicians.
Walked into an American-Irish bar with an Irish band playing there....walked up and asked if they were going to play this song and the singer seriously told me "we don't know that one"...................my. jaw. dropped.
The lyrics tell the story of a highwayman in the southern mountains of Ireland who robs a military government official to get his girlfriend Molly’s approval after she promises to love him forever. Unfortunately, she betrays him and he is thrown in jail. There are many versions of the song and the locations change between Cork, Kerry, Kilmoganny (village), and Sligo Town, and in America the locations can be the Appalachians, Massachusetts, or the Ozarks. The official that is robbed is either a Captain or Colonel named Farrell or Pepper. Among other names, the girlfriend can be Emzy, Ginny, Jenny, or Molly. extract from: REVEALED: THE HIDDEN MEANING BEHIND THE LYRICS OF 501 CLASSIC and POPULAR SONGS.

The day my stepfather handed down his vinyl collection to me was the day I fell in love with Thin Lizzy. Hidden in the crates of wax was a poster of Phil donning a Sid Vicious button. I grew up on punk rock in the 80's and didn't really care for the Pistols at the time, but when I saw that poster, I knew I had to listen to the Thin Lizzy wax right away and I'm glad I did. Hell! It even gave me an appreciation for the Pistols. Wish I could thank my stepfather again. Rip Michael Louis.

Ich mag die Version von den Dubliners und auch die von Metallica - aber die Interpretation von Thin Lizzy verursacht mir immer noch jedes Mal eine Gänsehaut
One for the Generations It was my dad that played this on vinyl in 1987, usually on a Sunday whilst we were all helping with the roast, back when we had an old JVC stereo with a tape deck and a turntable Absolutely F***king brilliant, nothing can bring back those times
I come back to this every now and then and absolutely love the sound and power through a set of cans, the fantastic guitar work of Eric's is still something even after all this time, RIP Phil, still listening.

Heard this on the radio at work and went straight to the record shop next door and bought it. 1972.

I first heard this in a boutique in Walsall in 1973 and asked the assistant who they were. She said Thin Lizzy... Loved them ever since.
Good thing she didn't say Metallica!

You were on Phil Lynott's home turf he was born just down the road in West Bromwich.

Seriously underappreciated band. Radio sucks. Internet radio didn't get any better.
Not entirely true! One of the first songs I remember hearing as a kid was Jailbreak. They played it regularly on The Loop in Chicago.
Und immer wieder. Ich glaube das wird ein Jahrtausend Song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Toll
Das IST ein Jahrtausendsong
Phil , you are never forgotten, your songs bring you back. You are the Rocker!
My very first Lizzy song and I fell in love with Thin Lizzy forever - most underrated band ever !!!!
They are not really underrated! Great fantastic band and really anyone with some music sense knows and acknowledge this!
@@bildkistl yes,underrated means many didn`t think they were great. Many did,so I would say they should be rated GREAT
Enjoyed watching this song sounds very good 😊
Jailbreak was the 2nd vinyl I ever bought, Caught in the Act was the first!
Super piosenka, nigdy się nie zapomni takich hitów.... ❤❤❤❤
60, 70 80s, were magical times
Music like this will never die - shame so many of the musicians from that period are no longer with us.
Lynott was a legend. Such stage presence.
Thank you for preserving their music, allowing younger generations to enjoy the magic of their sound. Im 37 ,(9/9/23)
I'm 58 and I heard and lived your dad's music. He sounds as great as the time he grew up❤❤❤❤
All the older groups where the best and will live on unlike todays i wouldnt feed them
Just an amazingly beautiful song. That guitar intro is unbelievable and Phills voice is incredible as always.
Well said man. Totally agree
"Whiskey in The Jar" is an old Irish traditional folk song . Even Peter, Paul, And Mary recorded a version of it. .

Jerry Garcia of the Grateful Dead also recorded and performed it. His background was folk and bluegrass. It's a wonderful version.
