In 2011, when Thin Lizzy performed at Hellfest in France, they were in a unique phase of their career, celebrating their legacy as one of the key players in rock history while touring with a lineup that included founding member Scott Gorham and other musicians. Before this live recording, the band had released their last studio album, "Thunder and Lightning," in 1983, which showcased their heavier sound and was one of their final projects before initially disbanding. The live performance at Hellfest featured classic hits like "Jailbreak," "Whisky In the Jar," and "The Boys Are Back in Town," emphasizing the band's enduring popularity. Notably, this performance took place well after the tragic passing of frontman Phil Lynott in 1986, who remained a significant influence on the band's identity and music, reflecting their dedication to honoring his legacy through their live shows during this reunion period.
