Still In Love With You
Thin Lizzy, 1974, from Nightlife. Solo by Gary Moore & Brian Robertson.
This slow, aching ballad gave Thin Lizzy's guitarists room to show real tenderness. Gary Moore's lead work on the studio recording is patient and bluesy, with long bends and a crying vibrato that answer Phil Lynott's heartbroken vocal. Brian Robertson later made the song his own in concert, and his extended solo on Live and Dangerous is often singled out as a high point of that album. Either way, the guitar carries as much of the song's emotion as the words. Listen for how the solos rise slowly instead of exploding, with each phrase ending on a held note that feels like an unfinished sentence, before the vocal returns.
