Lizzy Stage Logo to go on display in Temple Bar.
Today we take the massive light shows at Rock Gigs as a given. Yet not so long ago even basic light effects were primitive, often boxes of light bulbs with coloured gells which one of the Rodies would switch on and off in sequence to the music. Pink Floyd may have changed all that at Pompeii, but most bands had to rely on the ingenuity and resources of their road crew.
Such an example is the famous Thin Lizzy mirror logo from the "Live and Dangerous" era. Drawing inspiration from the Ballrooms of Romance, the Lizzy Crew constructed the logo from small mirrors and lightbulbs, which, when lit creatively, generated the most stunning effects.
As part of this years Vibe, the Logo backdrop has been dusted off and will shine once more when its exhibited with other Lizzy related material at the Film Base premised in Curve Street from Wed 2nd January, in the run-up to the show at the Button Factory. It's a real piece of Irish Rock'n' Roll history and will afford fans the opportunity to have their photo taken with the Logo in "full flight".
