💐💖🇸🇪❤🇨🇮 Thank you, Sue! 🤗 You brought tears in my eyes, when I remember the first and last time I visited that place, myself, back in the spring of 1996, twentysix years ago. When we left Philos resting place we actually came across his mother, Philomena, outside the cemetary and she insisted on that we followed her home and visited her "Philo-museum", that she had arranged in one of her rooms. An absolutely astonishing and memorable afternoon we had with Philomena and her male friend that told us loads of stories and memories about Philo. A milestone in my life, for sure. I wish you all the best and my best regards from Sweden! 🤗🇸🇪❤🇨🇮
Hi, wow that sure was a special day for you, Philomena certainly was a great lady. Phil had an amazing talent and died way too young. Thank you for sharing your story ❤️
@@SerenitySueGraveyards Indeed, he was. Yesterday, I had to listen to his rare masterpiece "Don't let him slip away" from 1982, a track that was rejected from Lizzy's last album. Strangely enough... Thank god for youtube that let us all walk down the music memory lane and find all the hidden treasures... 🤗
Thank you. Very respectful and beautifully done. I heard Whiskey in the Jar listening to the top 20 on my sister’s radio back in ‘73 and became a Phil Lynott fan ever since. “Róisín Dubh” favourite album and “Got to give it up” favourite track. 🥀
I met him in Motherwell Scotland in 85 when he toured with Grand Slam , I bought a pint of Guinness and asked him for his autograph, which i still have inside the black rose vinyl album. Never forget that night. Also remember that the sweat ran off his face like rain while preforming.. I was right up the front! Awesome.
I loved "The Boys are Back in Town." I remember dancing and singing to that back in college at the student union. Those were the good old days for us boomers.
Thank you for this beautiful tribute to Phil and his legacy. It's a comfort to see that people still want to honor his memory. I love so many Thin Lizzy songs, it's hard to choose just one as a fave. But, lately, I've been repeatedly playing Black Rose...
I was there in January 1996 on the afternoon after the King's Call tribute concert at The Point Depot. Afterwards I was lucky enough to be taken to meet Phyllis at her home White Horses. Phil was one of my rock heroes, gone far too soon. "ARE YOU OUT THERE?" Yes we are Phil, and we still remember. RIP
Boarderline is my favorite. Phil and Thin Lizzy do not get the credit they deserve. An ex boyfriend showed me Thin Lizzy and they quickly became one of my favorites ❤
I went to visit Phil Lynotts grave earlier this month. One main reason why I wanted to visit Dublin . A beautiful cemetery and such a beautiful few moments to pay my respects to one of my all time favourite rockstars. 🎤🎸🇮🇪
Hi Jack, yes I visited just to pay my respects too, it's been on my list for a long time, we met some really sweet locals in the cemetery too, it's in a really lovely area too
So sad, so many talented musicians died before their time! He was one of my favorites back in high school, The Boys are back in town is great! Thanks Sue, well done!
Payed my respects in 2005 when we went to Dublin for Phil's statue unveiling...I cried when we lost Philo..A wonderful song writer, musician and Front man for Lizzy..miss you big man.♠️🎸🎶🍻
@@SerenitySueGraveyards I grew up on Lizzy ♥️ 16 when I bought JAILBREAK, I loved that album and still do at 64... followed every move untill Philo passed away...We won't ever see his likes again sadly.🌹
@@SerenitySueGraveyards we spent some good times with PHYLLIS...she was a wild card... beautiful,funny,charming and generous with her time...loosing Philip broke her,but she said the fans and the letters from all over the world helped to mend her broken heart 💓 I hope they are reunited now.✖️♥️✖️
Whiskey In The Jar is one of those rare songs that no matter who covers it, it always sounds amazing but Thin Lizzy’s version sung by Phil’s awesome gruff voice is arguably the best. ❤️
growing up in the 70's this was our music, boys are back in town still gets played at various racetracks we go to, and my personal fav jailbreak just brought out the outlaw attitude we had as kids, your music lives on Phil!
Thank You for sharing this. So very sad to have lost so many amazing artists. Rest in Peace Phil. 🕯️ 🙏🏽 I lost my only child in 2020 and my life will never be the same. Blessings to all You beautiful Souls 💚
A really really good video, very inspirational and sensitive, Thank you very much. I visited Mrs Lynnott and her fiance Dennis back in 1997, she invited me and my girlfriend in her house, we hade some tea and spoke about Philip and Thin Lizzy. She was so happy that fans all over the world still remebered and liked the band after so many years, and still do. It was a meeting that will be treasured in my heart for ever. I think Phil and Thin Lizzy wil always be remembered for the music, the lyrics, the melodies, so unique in their own way. God Bless you Phil and Philomena!
My old band used to open all our gigs with "The Boys are Back In Town". Phil was a great bass player and I have a Fender P-Bass in exactly the same colours and spec as Phil's as a tribute to him. RIP Phil.
Thank you Serenity sue for giving us a tour of Phil's grave. I do remember when he died in January 4th 1986, I was a senior in high school and we talked about it for the whole week until the Challenger disaster happened. It's really sad such a talented young man died the way he did. I like the boys in back in town Serenity Sue. Thanks again for a great tour.
Thank you for taking us on your tour. Amazing. Phil was my “guitar hero” as a California boy. My favorite concert was Lizzy at the San Francisco Warfield theatre during the Chinatown tour. 1981? I bumped into Phil about a year before he died while on a British Airways flight LHR-SFO and Phil was sitting a few rows ahead of me. I plucked up the courage to say Hello and soon enough he came back to sit next to me for an hour to chat. It was amazing. He was amazing. Sadly that was when he was in his deep addiction and his frequent trips to the toilet now make sense. So sad. A great man who inspired many people and will never be forgotten. I hope to get to Dublin to visit Philo’s grave one day. Again, thanks for the tour.
I grew up listening to Thin Lizzy. Still one of my favourite bands. Up there with The Eagles, 10 cc and Dire Straights. My only regret in life was that I was too young to see Thin Lizzy live in concert but I got the next best thing by seeing Twin Lizzy their tribute band. No-one can come close to the fantastic works of this iconic band who remain timeless. It’s so sad to know that such a gifted musician has gone. RIP Phil 🖤
I love you Phil, much love from Argentina 🇦🇷. I hope I can travel there to talk with him. Such a Thin Lizzy fan and one of my favorites songs it's Spirit Slips Away and The Sun Goes Down.
Thank you for sharing this. If I ever make it Dublin, Ireland in my lifetime from Cleveland, USA I definitely will go visit Phil Lynott's final resting place. A one-of-a-kind all time legend, he was and remains. Some of my favorite Phil Lynott songs besides the obvious ones: "Romeo and The Lonely Girl," "This Old Town," "Wild One," "Running Back To You Again" and "Johnny The Fox Meets Jimmy The Weed."
I was introduced to Think Lizzy through my then boyfriend (later husband) during a trip 1986-87. He would play their music while we drove overnight. I had only heard the Jailbreak album and quick fell in love with it. I practically wore that cassette tape out until my stereo with the tape still in it was stolen. Later my husband bought me the CD . I really hadn't heard anything from them until about a week and a half ago when a documentary of the band popped up and I watched it. Started finding videos of them on yt and I have been so engrossed in listening to everything I can find and loving every minute of it.
Thank you for sharing! I visited his grave in August this year (2022), traveled from Brazil to see his grave and statue. It was very emotional. I saw 4 concerts with Thin Lizzy 1979 - 83 and still listen to them every week. Cannot name one favourite song, but right now Showdown is very high up in the list.
Lady, i like the fact you described him as an Irish musician, artist and songwriter. I became aware of Phil after hearing *the are back in town* for the first ,and that is still my favourite tune of his. Many thanks to you for doing this. May GOD bless your heart.
Thanks Kaka he was amazing I can't imagine what life was like, growing up in Ireland as a young boy, born out of marriage and mixed race and yet he over came all that to be become an amazing talent, very proud of Phil Lynott
@@SerenitySueGraveyards and so you and all Irish ppl should be. So strange that this popped up today, after i looked at a docu on the most dangerous gangs in Ireland only yesterday. ah, that was on youtube,,, the algorithm. happy that it did, tho. 🇨🇼🇩🇲🇨🇦
The good old algorithm sometimes it's great and sometimes it's rubbish but I'm glad Phil is getting out there, Ireland is my home since birth and it's been a joy to call my home, yes bad places peoe but overall we are blessed. Thanks again ❤️
@@SerenitySueGraveyards a friend of mine, growing up, visited Ireland about a decade aback, and he brought back an audio recording of yur accent, shocking the hell out of me, how it is similar to a few of isles in the West Indies, where i am originally from.
Great video Sue and GV. I remember listening to Thinn Lizzy back in the 1970's. I particularly remember, The boys are back in town. May he rest in peace. Thank you very much again.
@@SerenitySueGraveyards He was. It is a very terrible thing, what drugs and alcohol, can do to a person. How drugs and alcohol can destroy lives and careers. He had so much more to give the world. May he rest in peace.
Still remember Phil & Thin Lizzy . It’s 2023 & they still are my favorite band. Live & Dangerous is a really good album if people who don’t know his music can get a great taste. So many good songs; Romeo & the Lonely girl, Dancing in the Moonlight, suicide is a song about a Perry Mason episode entitled “the case of the lovers leap” ; i thought it was fascinating that Phil got the idea to write a song about it after seeing that show; the guitar work on that song is superb! I could go on and on, Cowboy song & Rosalee are great too! Rock in Peace Phil & Mom!
Thank you for this Sue! Ive been meaning to ask you to do a video on Phil Lynott and here it is! Loved thier music and especially the Celtic influence. Love the hits and "Emerald" and "Bkack Rose". RIP PHIL 🙏 😪
Finding phil and lizzy as a 20 year old guitarist was like finding god, been to see a lizzy tribute act twice and holy shit they are good cant imagine how good lizzy were live.. RIP Phil and Gary
A legend, sadly gone now, my favourite tracks were and still are...still in love with you and the cowboy song, live and dangerous is still one of my all time best albums...RIP Phil.... Steve
Heartbreaking absolutely heartbreaking such an acutely gifted man a complete miscarriage of justice too young to leave us RIP Phil you're legend is too strong to be forgotten we will forever enjoy the treasure you've left behind
Been a Lizzy fan for 40 years, learned to and was inspired to play guitar when I hear Live and Dangerous. But one thing to be clear, I don’t think his death was a miscarriage of justice. It was a choice to live in the underworld if drugs while looking normal in the surface. His death was tragic in the sense that he left his mom devastated and his young girls without a father. But he could have gotten help at any time. If his children were not enough to cause him to get help then they were better off other than having to see him decline if they were older.
@matts1364 this comment hits hard with me as we lost someone we loved to addiction and mental health, won't get into details here but I will say help is there if they want it. Sometimes it's easier to drown yourself in artificial highs than face the reality and accept the help that's there. If you can't choose your children over the ups and downs of addiction it just means their darkness has won. Having said that, it's easier said than done. 💔
I'm English, and this brought a tear to my eye. Rock on, Sue. What a tribute, to a great man. Thin Lizzy.... Best band to ever come out of Ireland. No argument. Edit: My favourite song by the way, is _Baby Please Don't Go._ Masterpiece.
Lizzy songs were the highlight of our school discos back in the seventies. I've only got to hear the first note of one of their songs to know who it is. Phil Lynott Gary Moore Rory Gallagher What is it about that little green island that gives us such brilliant musicians then takes them away far too early? Phil is eternal his music will live on when so called "stars" like Swift, West and Sheeran are dead and forgotten. You rock Phil, have a pint of the black stuff with Gary and Rory for us. 🍺🍺🍺
Of course I love the hits with the catchy riffs that are fun to play on guitar but I also love the song "It's Getting Dangerous," very moving song for some reason. Great vid, thanks!
Sue,Thanks. I don’t really like famous grave videos. But yours is so informative and interesting! Thanks for the tribute. I had a lot in common with the man an my livers not what it should be. Somehow by the grace of God I got away from all that stuff. May God bless you and thanks again! I cover a few Lizzy tunes myself only out of respect !. But nothing like Phil and the band ever did. They’re the greatest!!!
I was listening to his music lately I love Sarah too also love the song I played at the end of the video, Old Town. You really get to understand the talent when you're standing there at his grave and of course the huge loss
@@SerenitySueGraveyards yes he was a well known comedian.. showing my age perhaps 😁. Never mind, I’m lucky to be here. 😄. I remember him from the 70s and 80s (about then anyway)
Thank you for that. Saw Thin Lizzie in Vancouver in the 70's. The Boys are back in town still reminds of my teenage years. We actually spent a few late nights at Dino's !!
Thank you for visiting for all of us who can't make it all the way there! Still miss him. Drugs have taken so many talented people way too early. I still listen to "Sarah" on a regular basis - it always lifts me up, such a beautiful song. Just wanted to add that the last name is definitely pronounced "LIE-not". I've been saying it wrong myself for a very long time as well. Thanks again, Sue!
Thanks Logan, I've never in my life heard it pronounced LIE-not maybe it's an Irish thing I think I'd find it strange to say it like that now. You're more than welcome
@@SerenitySueGraveyards I know, I used to find "lin-not" more natural but it's wrong. Sarah said in an interview that Phil used to say "I'm not some feckin' bird" when correcting people's pronunciation :)
Sarah is my favourite song of theirs,and I've always called him lie-not,I once read he was married to the daughter of leslie crowther,the man who used to do the price is right,and stars in their eyes, if anyone remembers him.its such a lovely grave.i think his song called sarah was made cos his first born daughter was called sarah.🙏
@@christinegill3425 That's correct. Although he has a son, I think Phil was married only once, to Caroline Crowther. She is the mother of both Sarah and Cathleen. He did write "Sarah" for his firstborn daughter. But when two years later Cathleen was born, Caroline had made it clear to him that he had to write another song for Cathleen as well :)
Thank you.. i saw him, now and then, the last 4 yeas of his life, when he was in Denmark. He was the sweetest, respektfull, and for sure, the most funne man, a have ever meet...... But my favorite song, that goes straight to my hart i BORDERLINE i so feel him in this song. Thank you again, for taking me there
Seen Phils grave couple of years back now his mother used to visit everyday bless her. Look forward to seeing it again with you doing it sue. I'm also going to Belfast in April as I want a visit George Best grave.
Tin Lizzy was my favorite group growing up .my favorite song is the cowboy song . when I heard he died I just stood there and started crying. I hate drugs. it's send many man and woman to ruin's . thank you for doing this rememberence of Phil lynott .love from Kansas!
Hi sue amazing video thin lizzy are one of my favourite bands seen them in Glasgow Apollo many years ago absolutely brilliant live band hard to pick a favourite song their was so many I think killer on the loose was mine take care stay safe 👍☘🏴
Thank you Sue...! This was interesting to see... Listen to Thin Lizzy from 1983 (13y old at that time)... Still listen... One of the best bands ever... Regards from Finland...👍

Dancing in the moonlight, always puts a smile on my face.
Thanks Björn
I loved Thin Lizzy and Phil so much in the 70's. Thank you for letting us see his resting place.
You're so welcome Trish
My eyes still fill with tears when I think of him. Such a shame he passed so young, I wonder how many other ‘hits’ he had up his sleeve for us.
So many, some I'm just reading about in comments
@@SerenitySueGraveyards thanks Sue, your a star. ⭐️. 😄.
❤️❤️
My sentiments exactly.♠️🎶🎸🍻
Gone 38 years.. still missed and remembered
Hard to believe its 38 years,
Thank you. Very respectful and beautifully done.
I heard Whiskey in the Jar listening to the top 20 on my sister’s radio back in ‘73 and became a Phil Lynott fan ever since. “Róisín Dubh” favourite album and “Got to give it up” favourite track. 🥀
Thanks so much ❤️
Great visit sue, he was such an amazing talent. Thank you 🙏
Cheers Paul, finally got here, absolutely amazing talent
I met him in Motherwell Scotland in 85 when he toured with Grand Slam , I bought a pint of Guinness and asked him for his autograph, which i still have inside the black rose vinyl album. Never forget that night. Also remember that the sweat ran off his face like rain while preforming.. I was right up the front! Awesome.
That's such a great memory to have
A very humble grave in typical Phil Lynott style. Was and still is my favourite band with early song 'little girl in bloom' being one of my faves.
Lizzy is life. Thank you for this
So welcome Fletch
I loved "The Boys are Back in Town." I remember dancing and singing to that back in college at the student union. Those were the good old days for us boomers.
The good old days eh, so much talent great music
I loved Thin Lizzy and Phils voice❣️❤❤
He had such a great voice his image too
RIP Phil. I still remember in the early 70's hearing "The Boys Are Back In Town" on my car radio.
Such an amazing man
Thank you for this beautiful tribute to Phil and his legacy.

Thank you for this Sue! Ive been meaning to ask you to do a video on Phil Lynott and here it is! Loved thier music and especially the Celtic influence. Love the hits and "Emerald" and "Bkack Rose". RIP PHIL 🙏 😪
You're very welcome 🙏
Finding phil and lizzy as a 20 year old guitarist was like finding god, been to see a lizzy tribute act twice and holy shit they are good cant imagine how good lizzy were live.. RIP Phil and Gary
Thanks for watching Nathan, yes so much talent
A legend, sadly gone now, my favourite tracks were and still are...still in love with you and the cowboy song, live and dangerous is still one of my all time best albums...RIP Phil.... Steve
Thanks Steve, appreciate it
@@SerenitySueGraveyards no worries Sue, he got me into rock music in the late 70s, Thx for the video...
So very welcome x
Phil and Philomena rest in peace. 🕊️
Thanks Ben, reunited again
Thankyou for showing where Phil LYNET. He had a great voice and songs I loved his LOOKS
He was unique in style in music and in life, he was a great man with great talent
Cowboy Song is a timeless treasure.
Thank you
Heartbreaking absolutely heartbreaking such an acutely gifted man a complete miscarriage of justice too young to leave us RIP Phil you're legend is too strong to be forgotten we will forever enjoy the treasure you've left behind
Thanks Eamonn so very sad
Been a Lizzy fan for 40 years, learned to and was inspired to play guitar when I hear Live and Dangerous. But one thing to be clear, I don’t think his death was a miscarriage of justice. It was a choice to live in the underworld if drugs while looking normal in the surface. His death was tragic in the sense that he left his mom devastated and his young girls without a father. But he could have gotten help at any time. If his children were not enough to cause him to get help then they were better off other than having to see him decline if they were older.
@matts1364 this comment hits hard with me as we lost someone we loved to addiction and mental health, won't get into details here but I will say help is there if they want it. Sometimes it's easier to drown yourself in artificial highs than face the reality and accept the help that's there. If you can't choose your children over the ups and downs of addiction it just means their darkness has won. Having said that, it's easier said than done. 💔
I'm English, and this brought a tear to my eye. Rock on, Sue.
What a tribute, to a great man. Thin Lizzy.... Best band to ever come out of Ireland. No argument.
Edit: My favourite song by the way, is _Baby Please Don't Go._ Masterpiece.
Thanks so much Lone Star x x
Lizzy songs were the highlight of our school discos back in the seventies. I've only got to hear the first note of one of their songs to know who it is.
Phil Lynott
Gary Moore
Rory Gallagher
What is it about that little green island that gives us such brilliant musicians then takes them away far too early?
Phil is eternal his music will live on when so called "stars" like Swift, West and Sheeran are dead and forgotten.
You rock Phil, have a pint of the black stuff with Gary and Rory for us. 🍺🍺🍺
So very well said, thank you 😊
Boys are back in town. Simply beautiful
Thanks John
God bless Phil Lynott and his beloved Mammy!
Thanks Dublinproud
RIP❤Phil,Philomena and Gary✌❤🙏
Thank you for sharing Sue. I loved Thin Lizzy growing up in the 70's and 80's. Another one gone way too young!
I agree Kim, way too young
Tremendo talento musical que tenia Phil Lynott. Jamás será olvidado . Un fenómeno de artista .
Of course I love the hits with the catchy riffs that are fun to play on guitar but I also love the song "It's Getting Dangerous," very moving song for some reason. Great vid, thanks!
Thanks Joe ❤️
The Boys areBack in Town is one of my favorites. Thank you for sharing Phillips final resting place.
Thank you Carol
Sue,Thanks. I don’t really like famous grave videos. But yours is so informative and interesting! Thanks for the tribute. I had a lot in common with the man an my livers not what it should be. Somehow by the grace of God I got away from all that stuff. May God bless you and thanks again! I cover a few Lizzy tunes myself only out of respect !. But nothing like Phil and the band ever did. They’re the greatest!!!
You are so welcome! I'm so happy you are away from all that stuff, life is a gift and we need to live it, ❤️
Brought tears to my eyes . Beautifully done Serenity Sue . Sarah is one of my favourite songs but to many to mention really . Thank you so much cx
I was listening to his music lately I love Sarah too also love the song I played at the end of the video, Old Town. You really get to understand the talent when you're standing there at his grave and of course the huge loss
Parisian walkway's has to be up there in my top 5 all time greats . A collaboration with Gary Moore , simply the best xx
Thanks Caron
I knew his father in law, quite well, he was my neighbour, Leslie was a real gentleman and a character
Hi Lady Laoise, that's lovely to hear x
He was a good comedian. 👍.
I googled him and I do recognise him
@@SerenitySueGraveyards yes he was a well known comedian.. showing my age perhaps 😁.
Never mind, I’m lucky to be here. 😄.
I remember him from the 70s and 80s (about then anyway)
Grande phil tu musica nunca desaparecera...eres leyenda.....nos vemos en algun momento---maestro....
He has abeautiful grave and very well remembered , great tribute Sue 👏 x
Thanks Julia ❤️
Thank you for that. Saw Thin Lizzie in Vancouver in the 70's. The Boys are back in town still reminds of my teenage years. We actually spent a few late nights at Dino's !!
Cool
Thank you for visiting for all of us who can't make it all the way there! Still miss him. Drugs have taken so many talented people way too early. I still listen to "Sarah" on a regular basis - it always lifts me up, such a beautiful song. Just wanted to add that the last name is definitely pronounced "LIE-not". I've been saying it wrong myself for a very long time as well. Thanks again, Sue!
Thanks Logan, I've never in my life heard it pronounced LIE-not maybe it's an Irish thing I think I'd find it strange to say it like that now. You're more than welcome
@@SerenitySueGraveyards I know, I used to find "lin-not" more natural but it's wrong. Sarah said in an interview that Phil used to say "I'm not some feckin' bird" when correcting people's pronunciation :)
Oops I better learn to pronounce it better 🤫
Sarah is my favourite song of theirs,and I've always called him lie-not,I once read he was married to the daughter of leslie crowther,the man who used to do the price is right,and stars in their eyes, if anyone remembers him.its such a lovely grave.i think his song called sarah was made cos his first born daughter was called sarah.🙏
@@christinegill3425 That's correct. Although he has a son, I think Phil was married only once, to Caroline Crowther. She is the mother of both Sarah and Cathleen. He did write "Sarah" for his firstborn daughter. But when two years later Cathleen was born, Caroline had made it clear to him that he had to write another song for Cathleen as well :)
Such a sad waste of a much talented person,and like many gone too soon,thanks sue for the presentation sue,from ballarat in Oz🙏🙏🙏👍🇦🇺
So true Peter, drink and drugs unfortunately leave many talented young men and women down a dark path. Like Phil the body just can't cope
@@SerenitySueGraveyards exactly,take care you,GV and all sleep well,😴😴🙏🙏🇦🇺
Thanks for this tour Sue! A talent gone too soon😞.
Ahh it sure was, he was simply amazing
Phil & Lizzy were my favourite band ever, saw them with Robbo 76 at leicester ✊🎼🌸
Always the best, the rest remembered. Rest in peace and God bless
Thank you.. i saw him, now and then, the last 4 yeas of his life, when he was in Denmark. He was the sweetest, respektfull, and for sure, the most funne man, a have ever meet...... But my favorite song, that goes straight to my hart i BORDERLINE i so feel him in this song. Thank you again, for taking me there
Thank you for your comment
One of my fav bands of all time fav tune...too many but ballad of a hard man comes to mind
Seen Phils grave couple of years back now his mother used to visit everyday bless her. Look forward to seeing it again with you doing it sue. I'm also going to Belfast in April as I want a visit George Best grave.
George is definitely one we'd love to see, also the Dunlops would be amazing too
Tin Lizzy was my favorite group growing up .my favorite song is the cowboy song . when I heard he died I just stood there and started crying. I hate drugs. it's send many man and woman to ruin's . thank you for doing this rememberence of Phil lynott .love from Kansas!
Thanks George, I agree about drugs, it's just terrible, takes so many lives
