Brian and Phil would be triple session guys to pull this off in the studio in the day.... Brian timing exact.... Phil, up down picking, singing (With emotion of course) Phil had his heart into every single song.... "Demons" are in this lyric..... This is self reflection of course, he fought them for years but succumbed eventually as we all know. Sad for us all. Too soon, Phil, Gary.... Still I listen to this greatest band from the Emerald land..... TL Forever !! 🎸🎼
When I was 17 me and a mate hitch hiked 200 miles to see Thin Lizzy in Manchester - Got backstage and had a joint with the band. Great blokes and fun days. Im 65 now.
I remember sitting in my parent's basement getting high with my brother when we heard about Phil's passing. It is such a vivid memory as I was getting heavy into Thin Lizzy at the time!!
I GET THAT FEELING TO WHEN I LOOK IN THOSE EYES I SEE A DEEPER PHIL ..I KNOW THOSE DEMONS WERE ALL AROUND HIM ...WHAT A TALENT....TO SING ...WRITE LYRICS AND PLAY INCREDIBLE BASS LICKS...I DO BELIEVE HES IN PARADISE
@@Ukmongoose3what did you see? This guy is a hero. I have wall to wall records and I am no novice about rock. I have to say that I cry all the time about him. Close to crying about my beloved dog LOLA. What did you see? He is one of the most special in rock in my opinion. It is not only heartbreaking, but it gets down to the soul itself. I think the band really loved/ loves him. I know I love him so much. It is not led Zeppelin or black Sabbath. It's very different rock. It is one in a million kind of stuff. Why did he die? Is over doing it just that bad? Why was he so upset and depressed that he went that far? My number is up soon I think. He was such a talent. Please tell me what you saw in more detail. I don't want to know, but I need to know.
This song was a premonition of his own premature death. He sensed he was doomed because of his drink and drug addictions and sadly he was right. But he was a musical meteor who lit up our skies magnificently but all too briefly. RIP Phil Lynott, a musical genius, and much loved son of Ireland.
@@varhildrsnes3741 As an atheist, the only reason I hope there might be a god is that when I go to heaven ( and I would cos I'm lovely!), there'll be all those fantastic musicians that I'll be able to watch for eternity...😇
He was not right. He felt in a trap. Shall he never ever wrote this song he would still alive. Even more, he could have written it, but his mistake was to sing it, not once but over and over again. If your thoughts can harm you, your spoken words can destroy you. He was probably not ignorant of what he was doing. For once the said can apply literally : he had it coming. Then again, so many great artists seem to spark strong and die fast.
@@RingOfRae This gibberish makes no sense at all, unlike the crystal clear post you allegedly replied to. Phil Lynott was a flawed genius. The drink & drugs killed him at the age of only 34. The song "The sun goes down" was a premonition of his own death which he knew was coming. Now find something better to do with your time other than muddying waters that are crystal clear to the intelligent.
Best rock band EVER. Every album unique. Phil and The Boys Copied by many, matched by none. Thanks for the music Phil, Gary, Brian, Scott, Darren, Robbo, Eric, Snowey, John and yes, you too Midge.
For all the junkies & former junkies like myself this song speaks volumes "The Sun Goes Down" Phil Lynott expressing his hopelessness w/o actually saying it. RIP Phil
You can see it in Phil's eyes. He's trying so hard to stay focused. Doing just enough smack to be normal, then after the show, who knows. Phil's deamon's finally took him home. All I gotta say about that since I've walked down that road. But I survived.
@@henrikchristensen7844 Phillip was born in pain , his mother who was Irish Catholic who became pregnant by a black french medical student while he was studying in England, in England mixed couple's were not very common but in Ireland where Phillip grew up it was unheard of , and Phillip had an uphill battle from birth
I'd never heard this track before..heard in on a lizzy concert on tele & TH-camd it and here I am. It's an amazing track , He is an amazing artist & that voice....Bliss You rest now Phil ❤
I'll take Scott's solo over Sykes. Sykes is "cleaner", but Scott is "tastier". I can't explain it, I just like Scott's "tone" and "feel" better, even though he's slower. Much like Page. There are better "technical" soloists out there, better than Page. But I'll take Page ALWAYS. Speed and clarity are overrated. I mean that seriously.@@Stargazer-px7fw
This is Phil and Scott G at their peak!! So sad that this was the end. I had the pleasure to see Lizzy in Sweden three times. This tour was in my opinion their best. There was a depth and emotional range to it that surpassed the previous performances i visited . Especially Phil. The presence of his performance made an everlasting impression.
we were just talking about Lizzy and my friend (here in Cali) said "i'd give an inch of my *dick to see Lizzy live again, and i don't have an inch to spare!" - LOL
They were here at least 3 times then? Goddamn you got to see something then. Waay before my time, Phil was gone for a while before I was born. Only thing I can compare with would be seeing Dio a couple of years before he died
To think Phil was so close to the end during this tour is so sad yet he still performs superbly. It shows how much his music and fans kept him going. RIP you legend
@@Truckergunners When you read the biographies on Phil it does 'suggest' that. However those close to him also say he was running out of steam. The drug and alcohol abuse were taking its toll. But he came back with Gary Moore for the excellent 'Out In The Fields' then his own single 'Nineteen.'. He seemed to have a renewed vigour but sadly his body gave out. As Phil himself would have said 'He lost his battle...'
@@Truckergunners I think that Thin Lizzy would have done another album or 2 down the road had Phil lived. He gave us a lot of music in such a short time, I'm glad that we have that to keep close.
The timekeeping in this between Phil and Brian is just freaking amazing. That tempo is as rock solid as they come, and then Scott's solo.....it just does not get cooler than this.
Spot on! This whole Hitchin gig is just sublime and then when you take into account where Phil was with his illness at this point, well it just highlights all the more what a class act he really was.
@@nathandodge665 cut the monotheistic scolding - from Phil one learns true lessons of brotherhood of man and of good will against the evils in this world, often manipulated by those close oh so close to monotheistic high powers , all 3 OF THEM. Shame on them. Erin was green and Pagan before ''they'' arrrved.
Been a music lover for over 50 years & have always said that Thin Lizzy was the most underrated band ever. Phil was a genius. Scott & John & company were amazing. What a great band. So sad that it ended far too soon.
I agree, it's very haunting.. This track is my favourite. Looks very poorly , but sings it and plays it beautifully, with everything he's got ! He never lost his powerful grace! God bless you Phil, rest easy..we miss you.💔
Thin Lizzy always seemed to be ahead of the curve. The sad thing is that time was called on the band just when things were lining up. This lineup could have been massive as the eighties rolled on. They were great live, had a fantastic back catalogue and had just produced another fine album. For the sake of a pause and maybe a detoxification things could have turned out so much better. But what happened is what it is and that’s that. Such a shame.
In my life I have a few hero's Ritchie Blackmore Paul Rodgers Seve Ballesteros Cyrile Regis But probably the best is the mighty Phil Lynott Fantastic singer , bass player , songwriter and iconic image. Lizzy were my introduction as a teenager into the wonderful world of Hard Rock. A true Superstar who died way too young
I don't have strong enough words to say that he was someone I loved very much, one of the most beautiful voices I've ever heard, and one of the greatest bass players in the rock and roll world!
@@greg2976 I agree ! They really are I was just a kid when I was playing boys are back in town on my 45 looking forward to listening to more take care !
Haunting. You can feel the change coming.....not welcome..to be honest. We all loved what they had done. And what they had accomplished. But I think we all knew the chemistry could never be AGAIN. I think we all hoped, naively..something could replace it in our hearts.
@@georgebarry8640 Yes, I felt that way when I saw them on their Farewell Tour but I am so glad that I went to that gig because despite the health problems, Phil and the band were fantastic that evening!

They had plenty of opportunity in the States but blew it through mis use of recreational substances & bad luck. The most unprofessional professional rock band ever! as stated by Brian Downey himself. Despite that, they still hold a special place in my heart & I love them dearly. Saw Phil’s last ever Glasgow gig with Grand Slam a truly sad ending to a wonderful musician. Don’t do hard drugs Folks.
@@timharrigian6845 America turned their backs on them? What does that even mean?? In the seventies they were known to be a badass band. Oh, and badass is a good thing.....
My favourite track from their last studio album. Was lucky enough to see them on that tour. The one and only time I got to a Lizzy gig, but right up there with my all time best concerts. They were just stunningly good live.
Amazing performance! Great song, great cameramen job, close shots of the musicians, not like today when images change so quick. You can clearly see the deep emotion pictured on Phil´s face. One of the greatest bands ever. I honestly can´t think of a single throwaway track in their discography. Maybe they disbanded in the right time.
A great tune. Once again. The reason I loved great rock was because of the lyrics. Phil. Moved on and I KNOW that the demons he dealt with perplex many of us. Thanks Phil. And praise you BUDDY!
The last gig at Reading Rock 83 they made sure they played this at sunset. Oh they came on at 7 and played till gone past the curfew of 11. What a night
VERY TALENTED...IV ALWAYS BELIEVED TO PLAY AN INSTRUMENT...SING AND WRITE LYRICS...ITS INCREDIBLE....HE DID NOT JUST PLAY BASS .LIKE PLAYERS TODAY SLOPPY....HE PLAYED BASS LIKE NO OTHER ...RIP
When I was kid and when a lot of my mates wanted to be drummers or guitarists, it was bass that I wanted to play and this man is just about the biggest reason why. Nobody has ever looked cooler with a bass guitar in their hands, *nobody* !!
Very interesting tune. Yeah there’s demons. But you can beat em. You just gotta be smarter than them. Thanks for this great tune Phil. You were in the moment.
the best truly gifted dude black irish , his mother was an angel , thank god i seen them play live in philadelphia , i keep going back to bad reputation , johnny the fox, and the black rose album .
This is one of my favorite Thin Lizzy songs! or Phil Lynott's songs! It has very interesting lyrics, a very interesting music! and even a very interesting meaning! besides that it's also very interesting to see that Phil even decided to perform this great song live! since even though it's a very good song yet it is more a "reflexion song" than a "concert song"! so maybe that was also the main reason on why this great song was performed at a little bit faster pace than in the normal album version! which by the way it's also his last song of his last album! before he died or passed away from a drug abuse or excess back in 1986! therefore maybe performing this great song live was also one of Phil's ways to tell us all goodbye! before he passed away! besides that I also believe that in this great song maybe he was also trying to be relating the sun to our normal lives! because when we analyse this great song with that kind of meaning then we could see and understand better why the final phrase of this great song very apropiatelly closes that great album and even Phil Lynott's short life by simply saying: "When all is said and done the sun goes down"! so that it should also be a kind of reminder too for all of us about our own deaths! too! therefore by analysing this great song in a better way could even realize in a better way too that in some day that very same sun which is life in this case is also going to go down for all of us! too!
I have to agree that currently Lizzy have shaped my life over the past twenty years we’re all entitled on how we view entertainment rock stars or not I’ve had some problems and meeting Phil’s family and everything has really helped me out with it all xxx
Happy Birthday Scott Gorham born in Glendale,USA,March 17th 1951
Scott’s a great guy. I met him.
Yes the sun went down ... too early 😢 still so sad and still in love with you Phil 💔
So glad John Sykes helped Lizzy make a final great album
Brian Downey is a unsung hero
Master drummer
He's bloody fantastic and I think he should be talked about at least as much many other classics. His playing is simply wonderful.
Not by the real Lizzy fans, who know...

In some parts of the solo is out of tune, in bendings, by the way.

Phil oozes Rock and Roll. It's like he was born a Rock Star. His delivery on this is chilling. He makes you believe every word.
Every word was true. To the despair of everyone

Phils voice , it can set you free, no one will ever be or sound the same
John Sykes solo - just superb. Recorded this concert on video when it was broadcast.
Phil's bass tone was superb!

My favourite track from their last studio album. Was lucky enough to see them on that tour. The one and only time I got to a Lizzy gig, but right up there with my all time best concerts. They were just stunningly good live.
I was lucky enough to see them open for Rush on the 2112 tour. I was mesmerized then and after all these years I still am.
How did they go down with the rush fans, was that 1976
40 ans que j écoute thin lizzy et je m en lasserai jamais . Le soleil se couche , magnifique chanson Rip phil
Such a powerful song. So saddening actually. Incredible talent lost too soon RIP 🪦
Seen them in Belfast in 1983 best concert I have been to
Lesser known song, but what a masterpiece. What a fantastic band.
Powerful performance Phil captures the lows
Phil was without a doubt a brilliant musician.
Phil was very sick at the time. Its a great pity no one did anything. But that was the time. RIP Philo
Amazing performance! Great song, great cameramen job, close shots of the musicians, not like today when images change so quick. You can clearly see the deep emotion pictured on Phil´s face. One of the greatest bands ever. I honestly can´t think of a single throwaway track in their discography. Maybe they disbanded in the right time.
was a fantastic band must have seen them about fifteen times RIP PHILLIP & GARY
Phil was the best songwriter and a brillant singer of all time R.I.P.
Met Phil in the City Hall Newcastle-Upon-Tyne 81. Top musician
This song is fantastic, the lyrics, the vocals, the solo.... 🙏🤘
A masterpiece....
A great tune. Once again. The reason I loved great rock was because of the lyrics. Phil. Moved on and I KNOW that the demons he dealt with perplex many of us. Thanks Phil. And praise you BUDDY!
He is more great than will ever be remembered fu rock n roll hall of fame
The last gig at Reading Rock 83 they made sure they played this at sunset. Oh they came on at 7 and played till gone past the curfew of 11. What a night
I was there and still the best live performance I have ever seen.
Phil singing about fighting his demons
This and "Dancin in the moonlight" are my favourite songs. Saw him live 1983 in Kaiserlsautern, i was 16. One of the only bands, i have all LPs. (CDs)
What can you say.
When it's all said,and done, lizzy is one of the greatest of musicians that ever existed
VERY TALENTED...IV ALWAYS BELIEVED TO PLAY AN INSTRUMENT...SING AND WRITE LYRICS...ITS INCREDIBLE....HE DID NOT JUST PLAY BASS .LIKE PLAYERS TODAY SLOPPY....HE PLAYED BASS LIKE NO OTHER ...RIP
When I was kid and when a lot of my mates wanted to be drummers or guitarists, it was bass that I wanted to play and this man is just about the biggest reason why. Nobody has ever looked cooler with a bass guitar in their hands, *nobody* !!
Phil, Lemmy, and Geddy. The Holy Trinity of bass.❤
@@TomWilhelm-zn4sjdon’t forget John Entwistle and geezer butler
Love the studio version..this live version is even better.. brilliant band.
Very interesting tune. Yeah there’s demons. But you can beat em. You just gotta be smarter than them. Thanks for this great tune Phil. You were in the moment.
un formidable groupe musical dont je suis totalement passé à côté et que je viens de découvrir, quelle merveille musicale!!!
the best truly gifted dude black irish , his mother was an angel , thank god i seen them play live in philadelphia , i keep going back to bad reputation , johnny the fox, and the black rose album .
Slušam ih 45 godina a emocije rade Čovjek koji je imao entuzijazma Svaka čast Podcijenjeni su ali :Štaka
One of the greatest 🎸🇺🇦
The voice is so original, so emphatic, so seductive. Not just that the words and music resonate.
One of the greatest songs ever written.
I feel like this is a personal survivor song … Respect 🤍✌️
This is one of my favorite Thin Lizzy songs! or Phil Lynott's songs! It has very interesting lyrics, a very interesting music! and even a very interesting meaning! besides that it's also very interesting to see that Phil even decided to perform this great song live! since even though it's a very good song yet it is more a "reflexion song" than a "concert song"! so maybe that was also the main reason on why this great song was performed at a little bit faster pace than in the normal album version! which by the way it's also his last song of his last album! before he died or passed away from a drug abuse or excess back in 1986! therefore maybe performing this great song live was also one of Phil's ways to tell us all goodbye! before he passed away! besides that I also believe that in this great song maybe he was also trying to be relating the sun to our normal lives! because when we analyse this great song with that kind of meaning then we could see and understand better why the final phrase of this great song very apropiatelly closes that great album and even Phil Lynott's short life by simply saying: "When all is said and done the sun goes down"! so that it should also be a kind of reminder too for all of us about our own deaths! too! therefore by analysing this great song in a better way could even realize in a better way too that in some day that very same sun which is life in this case is also going to go down for all of us! too!
This song gives me goosebumps Whats a top tune. R.I.P PHIL
Perfect execution of good song. Pure blues.
There's No words for this..Just emotions overwhelmed by his voice! ❤ then everything else follows...when the sun goes down.
I have to agree that currently Lizzy have shaped my life over the past twenty years we’re all entitled on how we view entertainment rock stars or not I’ve had some problems and meeting Phil’s family and everything has really helped me out with it all xxx
