The boys in Thin Lizzy were back in town this past weekend featuring fellow countryman Vivian Campbell of Def Leppard guesting on guitar. One of rock's most influential, yet somehow under appreciated gems showed exactly why they ought to be one of the next batch to be included into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame with a top-shelf performance at the Vic Theatre for the capacity gathering of Loyal Loopers.
