Life (Thin Lizzy album) Life (Thin Lizzy album) Life (subtitled "Live", and labelled "Life:Live" on the original vinyl LP editions) is a double live album by Irish rock band Thin Lizzy, released in 1983. This double album was recorded during their farewell tour in 1983, principally at the Hammersmith Odeon in London, UK. Phil Lynott had felt reluctantly that it was time to disband the group after the 1983 tour and to mark the occasion, former Thin Lizzy guitarists Eric Bell (1969–73), Brian Robertson (1974–78) and Gary Moore (1974, 1977 and 1978–79) joined the band on stage at the end of these gigs to
Thin Lizzy heavy metal groups such as Iron Maiden and Def Leppard. Iron Maiden covered the song "Massacre" from Thin Lizzy's "Johnny the Fox" album, and released it on their 1988 single "Can I Play with Madness". A cover of "Cowboy Song" appears on "Sound of White Noise" by Anthrax as the bonus track for the album's Japanese release.
