Life (subtitled Live) is a double live album by Irish band Thin Lizzy, released in 1983. (see 1983 in music). This double album was recorded during their farewell tour in 1983, principally on Hammersmith Odeon. Phil Lynott had felt reluctantly that it was time to disband the group after the 1983 tour and to mark the occasion, ex-Lizzy guitarists Eric Bell (1970-3), Brian Robertson (1974-8) and Gary Moore (1978-9) joined the band on stage at the end of these gigs to do some numbers. This was called as "The All-Star Jam".
