Still Dangerous: Live at Tower Theatre Philadelphia 1977
Still Dangerous: Live at Tower Theatre Philadelphia 1977 is a live album by Irish band Thin Lizzy, released in March 2009 on VH1 Classic Records. It was pieced together from two shows at the Tower Theater in Upper Darby Township, just outside Philadelphia, on 20 and 21 October 1977, during the tour for Bad Reputation. Nothing was overdubbed, so what you hear is the band as they played it.
It makes a useful companion to Live and Dangerous, which already featured "Cowboy Song", "The Boys Are Back in Town", "Massacre" and "Emerald". Here the band's habit of running one song straight into the next is easy to hear: "Cowboy Song" ends on the opening note of "The Boys Are Back in Town", and "Soldier of Fortune" leads directly into "Jailbreak". This version of "The Boys Are Back in Town" also plays over the end credits of The Expendables.
