Thin Lizzy’s Classic Song ‘The Boys Are Back In Town’ Like You Never Heard It Before

Their brilliant interpretation of the classic rock song – in which they use violin, viola, cello, and percussion – was recorded live at The Boys School at Smock Alley Theatre in Dublin on 3 January.

Phil Lynott’s band originally recorded the song in 1976 and it went to the top of the charts in Ireland and was a top 10 hit in the UK. It was included in 2004 on Rolling Stone magazine’s list of 500 Greatest Songs Of All Time. While Q magazine also included the track on its list of 100 Greatest Guitar Tracks back in 2005.
