From hardradio.com: In a recent poll put together by Classic Rock magazine in the UK, THIN LIZZY's 1978 album, Live And Dangerous was voted favorite live rock album of all time. The album was recorded at two separate venues: November 14th-16th, 1976 at London's Hammersmith Odeon on the Johnny The Fox Tour and October 28th, 1977 at Seneca College Fieldhouse in Toronto, ON during the Bad Reputation Tour. The lineup featured frontman/bassist Philip Lynott, drummer Brian Downey, guitarists Scott Gorham and Brian Robertson, saxophonist John Earle and Huey Lewis on harmonica. The complete track listing for the record is as follows: 'Jailbreak', 'Emerald', 'Southbound', 'Rosalie/Cowgirl's Song', 'Dancing In The moonlight', 'Massacre', 'Still In Love With You', 'Johnny The Fox', 'Cowboy Song', 'The Boys Are Back In Town', 'Don't Believe A Word', 'Warriors', 'Are You Ready', 'Suicide', 'Sha La La', 'Baby Drives Me Crazy', 'The Rocker'.

Lemmy's from Motorheads old band (they have a song called Motorhead I believe). Good old stoner stuff with a sci-fi edge to it. Hard to find though. Never heard the live album, I really need to now...
Hawkwind is/was a hard band to describe to someone. Sort of a cross between PinkFloyd and Black Sabbath on seriously high dosages of LSD. Lemmy (Motorhead) was in the band so that explains a little bit of it. I think they typically toured and played with naked dancing girls and psychedelic light show. My favorite live album has got to be Lou Reeds' 'Rock n Roll Animal'. It's kind of weird to see Thin Lizzy getting props after all these years. They used to play in Houston all the time. I remember seeing them with Queen at the Houston Coliseum and a couple times at the Music Hall too. Can't remember who they were playing with on those shows. That was quite a few quaaludes ago
deleted - hawkwind question already answered. check out space ritual if you check out anything. motorhead is better though. scoreboard = lemmy.
Finn man! All you need to know about hawkwind! Warrior on the Edge of Time Oh man! So many memories I've forgot!
I second Lou Reed's "Rock n Roll Animal" as a favorite. The Who "Live at Leeds" is another. Neil Young's "Live Rust" is awesome. Zappa's "Roxy and Elsewhere" and "Woodstock"
