THIN LIZZY guitarist Scott Gorham is featured in a new interview with SeaOfTranquility.org. An excerpt is available below.

SoT: Why after all these years is the Tower Theater show finally going to be an "official" release after it being a famous bootleg?

Scott: "Well, the bootleg is just that...a shit sounding bootleg. It's unmixed with no audience mikes on. It was the first show of the tour, and a nervy one if I remember correctly. Sill Dangerous is the second night we did at the Tower Theater which was never aired. And I think I'm right in saying that TL was one of the very few bands that the King Bisquit show let have two nights recorded, almost all bands only got the one night. It's got a great mix done my my pal Glyn Johns, who actually brought out the sound of Thin Lizzy the way I always imagined and remembered it sounding like. It's the first album where I can sit back and listen to a Thin Lizzy set and feel and hear what everyone else in the audience was getting. Pretty cool experience for me."

SoT: I know that some of this show was used on the amazing Live & Dangerous record - how much of this new CD was actually used on it on that one?

Scott: "Ah no, a track from a Toronto show was used for Live And Dangerous, not Philidelphia. And you just know there's gonna be some internet geek out there somewhere that's gonna want to argue with me on that one. Ain't rock and roll grand?"
