Songfacts®:

• This song originally featured on Thin Lizzy's 1976 Jailbreak LP. Two years later, it was included on Live and Dangerous, a live double album recorded in London in 1976 and Toronto in 1977. That was the last Thin Lizzy record before 1983's Life to feature guitarist Brian Robertson, who had a prominent part on the tune.
• Speaking with Songfacts in a 2013 interview, Scott Gorham recalled how the song came about: "Well, that's just a lick and a chord pattern that I had. We were at a rehearsal and I just started playing it. Phil (Lynott) looked up and said, 'What's that?' And I said, 'Well, it's a riff and a groove I have.' He goes, 'Okay, man. Let's try to develop that.' And he and I, we just sat down and started developing it, put the different licks in there."
  
  "We'd developed a solo spot," he continued, "and I said, 'I think Brian Robertson will be perfect for this, rather than my guitar.' That's how that song came about, with Phil perking up his ears when I started to play the opening line for that particular song."
• Live and Dangerous has received critical acclaim from several sources as one of the most popular rock live albums. It was ranked #1 in 2010 in PlanetRock.com's The Greatest Live Album Top 40 and the following year, the British music magazine NME ranked the LP at #1 in its 50 Greatest Live Albums of All Time. Gorham told Songfacts: "I think probably every song on Live and Dangerous is better than the studio versions."
