The show will also feature some of his all time classic songs as well as new ones from his brand new album Valleys of Neptune, release date: Monday 8th March 2010.

It is 40 years since Jimi died and his legacy still continues.

Previously Unreleased Live Album
'Still Dangerous'

THIN LIZZY's seminal double live album "Live & Dangerous" is consistently featured in polls as one of the greatest live albums of all time. Yet it is (reputedly) not really a live record at all as it features overdubs and post-production across the album.

Still Dangerous is the raw, unadulterated, untouched sound of THIN LIZZY at the absolute height of its powers.
