CONCERT REVIEW: Thin Lizzy, led by the legendary John Sykes, delivered a high-energy performance at Saengerfest Park, Galveston, TX, on February 21, 2004. This lineup, featuring Sykes on vocals and guitar, continued the band's legacy with passion and power, paying tribute to the late Phil Lynott while keeping the spirit of Thin Lizzy alive. The setlist was a well-balanced mix of classic hits, including “Jailbreak”, “The Boys Are Back in Town”, “Emerald”, and “Cowboy Song”, all performed with precision and intensity. Sykes, known for his work with Whitesnake and Blue Murder, brought his own flair to the band’s timeless tracks, delivering both searing guitar solos and surprisingly strong vocals that honored Lynott’s original performances. The energy on stage was electrifying, with the band firing on all cylinders. Scott Gorham’s guitar work complemented Sykes perfectly, recreating the signature Thin Lizzy twin-guitar harmonies that made their sound iconic. The rhythm section was tight and powerful, providing a solid backbone for the performance. The crowd was fully engaged, singing along to the anthems that defined an era of rock. While some purists might argue that no one can truly replace Lynott, Sykes and the band delivered a show that was both a heartfelt tribute and a powerful performance in its own right. ================================================================================================================================================================================================ Clarification of the Concert Rating System: This rating is not based on the quality of the video recording or its production.
