Face To Face puts a face to the name and profiles the careers of legends, presenting an insight into the minds of the masters of music. In this new DVD, musician Rick Wakeman (YES) evokes the memoirs of Scott Gorham, the longest serving guitarist with THIN LIZZY, as they chronicle the history of the band from their early years, through to international rock group stardom and beyond.
In this revealing and at points, poignant episode of Face To Face, Gorham recalls the motivation behind his musical youth and growing up in California, surrounded by surf music and the British music invasion to joining forces with Thin Lizzy’s bandleader and vocalist Phil Lynott in 1974. Amongst their whirlwind of huge worldwide tours and Rock ‘n’ Roll excess, the story of the groups’ amazing journey is exposed as Rick Wakeman and Scott discuss the inspiration behind the seminal rock classics ‘The Boys Are Back In Town’ and ‘Jailbreak’ through to the untimely and tragic death of Gorham’s great friend and band mate Phil Lynott…one of the most influential songwriters and performers in rock history.
