Summer is here so let's play the mother of all feel good summertime rock 'n' roll songs!
Thin Lizzy's career was saved in the summer of 1976 when a couple DJs in Louisville, KY played this song incessantly until it went viral and became a big hit for the band, boosting sales of their album 'Jailbreak' and pumping up demand for tickets on their North American concert tour. It is one of the most straight-up joyfully exuberant rock 'n' roll songs of all time. To this day people of a certain age dance in the aisles when they play it at Trader Joe's and Whole Foods. Medical science has proven that it is physiologically impossible to play either of the parallel guitar leads with another person without cracking a grin.
This song reminds me of hanging out with my friends at Abalone Cove beach and meeting cute new girls from our town's other Junior High School the summer before we all became new High School classmates. It was a heady time. We were all reeling from powerful waves of new hormones and the possibilities were very exciting.

Hi Robert just sent you a couple of guitars plus a DAW mix to sync them hope it's ok and thanks for the invite on this one \m/
Submitted bass track. Tough song
Thanks for the invite, summer months are very busy so i'm gonna pass on this one.
I recorded the first guitar track playing both lead guitars as double stops. But it would be infinitely cooler to play it as two (or three?) parallel guitar parts, as the gods of rawk intended. I hope we can go there when I recruit another guitar player or two .
