Okay, not too much prevarication form me for this number, as it'll be enjoyed with or without my waffle. A quick rundown and opinion comes from blogger "silvererieann" in her online site "In The Third Decade..." (for over 30s, at http://silvererieann.wordpress.com/):
"Rosalie is best known because of Thin Lizzy’s cover, and Phil being a fan of Bob Seger (and The Allman Brothers) was surprised that he didn’t include it in his set. So he decided to give it a proper treatment and added it to the Lizzy catalog. It was issued as a single off the album [in 1975] but went nowhere because the studio recording of it was simply too subdued. That said, the version on Live and Dangerous is the definitive mix."
Thanks all. As I said, though, I am NOT a fan of the post-Phil line-up. For me, that's little more than a self-tribute band. Sounds harsh, but that's how important he was to them.

It made No. 20 in the UK in 1978, after that false start in'75 (unplaced). Enjoy. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fighting_%28Thin_Lizzy_album%29

There was a period in the second half of the Seventies when Thin Lizzy were untouchable. Simply the Best.
