Drum Teacher Reacts: Thin Lizzy — Whiskey in the Jar (Dublin Tribute to Phil Lynott)

Thin Lizzy — “Whiskey in the Jar” (Live in Dublin Tribute to Phil Lynott). This second request from Oleg takes us back to where it all began for Thin Lizzy. “Whiskey in the Jar” was originally released by the band in 1973 and became their first major hit — their arrangement of the traditional Irish folk song turning it into a rock classic. This performance from One Night in Dublin — A Tribute to Phil Lynott carries real emotional weight. Phil’s presence is still felt everywhere in the room. And musically, the performance is superb. From a drummer’s perspective, Brian Downey and the bass work here are a masterclass in pocket playing. Nothing flashy — just deep groove, restraint, and absolute musical awareness. It’s a reminder that great rhythm sections don’t just keep time. They create the feel of the entire band. The song itself is raw, honest, and deeply Irish — which is exactly why it has endured for generations.
