UK Tour 75
UK Tour 75 is a live album by the Irish band Thin Lizzy, recorded at Derby College in Derby, England, on 21 November 1975. The show was part of the tour promoting their album Fighting, and the recording came out on 8 September 2008 through Major League Productions. It was authorised by the surviving band members, who supervised a digital remaster of the tapes.
It catches the group on the cusp of their wider breakthrough, a few months before Jailbreak arrived in 1976. Some of the songs had not yet appeared on a Thin Lizzy studio album, including "Cowboy Song", which Phil Lynott introduces to the crowd as "Derby Blues". For anyone who loves the band's hard rock sound, it is a chance to hear them working through new material in front of an audience.
