Tonight, I have been mostly listening to...
Thin Lizzy, Live & Dangerous. Brian Robertson & Scott Gorham Q&A solos on "Emerald" - brilliant (still)

Actually Mick, that's not his best playing (and the sound quality on that clip isn't great), but I was too tired last night to trawl for anything else - I wanted to find you a piece with a strong Scottish influence! I promise you his albums are well worth buying. Interesting to note, he gave up a promising career in mathematics to take to guitar playing professionally, everyone told him he was daft, but I wish I could earn what he probably gets for doing what he loves best!

I particularly like border reiver, and get lucky. Ive only just got his new album "privateering" but not listened to it much yet.

[/quote] If thats some of his poor(er) playing, Im intrigued to hear what he sounds like when he is on form - must be class. Certainly someone ill be checking out more of, for sure (my missus' likes music like Avicii, and calvin harris, so she totally doesnt get what i consider "proper" music)

Get Lucky is his best recent work, I think! Other great tracks on the album are "Hard shoulder" and the finale "Piper till the end". I think Get Lucky is one of those albums where no one song is phenomenal, but all the songs on it are really good instead.

piper till the end, how could i forget that! agreed, very good songs all round really, the finale being one of the top ones! very reminiscent of "brothers in arms" for me, but in a good way

That album you've lent me of his is bloomin' good stuff!

On the subject of contemporary rock, with a classic influence, I'd highly recommend Rival Sons.
