At first, I was terribly baffled by the differences between the two discs. They are two different shows, which I learned more about thanks to a particular website explaining Thin Lizzy side projects.

There isn't much out there about this short-lived supergroup (made up of members of Thin Lizzy, Sex Pistols, and Boomtown Rats) because they didn't do much. Their entire recorded output is one Christmas single and then there stands this one bootleg that has sound quality like someone poured sulfuric acid on the tape. The sound quality sucks, but it's all we have left of the group that could've blown us away, but disappeared without much of a trace. The band formed on a whim, the idea being to play Thin Lizzy and Sex Pistols songs as small clubs to make quick cash. That's it. Thanks again to this very informative website!

Aint had time to listen to this yet claudius, but sounds interesting, and sometimes it aint about the quality of the recording it's about it being an artifact, Good post.
This sounds incredibly interesting.
Your blog is great. I love the range of styles you cover.
