Thin lizzy live and dangerous12/31/2023 ![]() Woolven described the recording as "hard to do" due to Lynott's tendency to make up ideas on the spot rather than undertake any pre-production work. Wharton also described how Woolven acted as a guide for Lynott in terms of production, rather than either man producing the album himself. New keyboard player Darren Wharton later described Woolven as a "really nice guy, easy-going, diplomatic type of guy", and a "really good engineer". The co-producer on the album was Kit Woolven, who was employed by Thin Lizzy's previous producer, Tony Visconti. Another song which had already been played live was "Didn't I", on the recent Japanese tour with temporary guitarist Dave Flett in the band. Between March and May, the band worked on more songs, including "Lady Killer on the Loose", "The Sacred Sweetheart" and the title track "Chinatown", the latter two of which were also performed live at this time, at shows in Ireland and Scandinavia. This song was not considered for the album and was instead used for Phil Lynott's debut solo album Solo in Soho, despite all the musicians playing on the song (and ultimately appearing in the video) being members of Thin Lizzy. Having recruited new guitarist Snowy White just before Christmas 1979, Thin Lizzy began recording sessions at Good Earth Studios for what would become the Chinatown album in January 1980, and finished recording "Dear Miss Lonely Hearts" (co-written with Jimmy Bain) in early February.
