They have also made available on a 2 CD set, 'Thin Lizzy - Live in London,' of their last two London gigs at Hammersmith Apollo and at the IndigO2, although I think that the price of £20 each, is a little steep, as I'm sure all you're getting is a basic cover and the two discs.
These are availble here:
There are three sample tracks Jailbreak (Hammersmith), Whisky In The Jar and Boys Are Back In Town (IndigO2) over at the site, so at least you can hear the sound quality, before you buy.

Geezer Butler makes statement on Black Sabbath future
On Saturday, over at Geezer Butler's (Black Sabbath, Heaven and Hell) website, he's made a definitive statement on the future of Black Sabbath.
Black Sabbath Statement
Posted on February 12, 2011
I would like to make it clear, because of mounting speculation and rumours, that there will be definitely NO reunion of all four original members of Black Sabbath, whether to record an album or to tour.

Def Leppard to issue Steve Clark tribute shirts
I really can't believe that this is the major announcement that Def Leppard had teased everyone with last week, when they said they have a major announcement coming soon at the site ...
If it is, it's a nice gesture to the memory of Steve Clark (RIP), hopefully something goes his family's way though as it's not too cool if the band are making money off something that specifically relates to their late guitarist.
Here's the details:
Steve Clark tribute shirts
This year, we want to do something special on Steve Clark's birthday. As most of you know, Steve was Def Leppard's co-founding guitarist from the late 70s to 1991, and would have turned 51 on April 23. Unfortunately, Steve passed at the age of 30 from an accidental overdose of prescription drugs and alcohol.
To pay tribute to Steve, we are releasing a special T-shirt soon. This shirt, of which you can see the design on the left, will only be available through Def Leppard's online store, and only for a very limited time. Also, in order to keep it exclusive, we will only produce the shirt in limited quantities. To be sure that you get your shirt, please enter your email address in the box below. This will guarantee that you will be notified first as soon as we take orders, and you won't miss out.
