One Night in Dublin: A Tribute to Phil Lynott is a live DVD by Gary Moore credited to "Gary Moore and Friends".

On the night of August 20 2005, Gary Moore (Thin Lizzy guitarist 1974, 1977, 1978–1979) staged a concert at the Point Theatre in Dublin, Ireland. It featured Brian Downey and ex Thin Lizzy guitarists Brian Robertson and Eric Bell as well as ongoing Lizzy member Scott Gorham.^[1] The concert was simply called "The Boy is Back in Town", with the "One Night in Dublin" title a change made for the DVD.On 21 April 2009 it was also released on Blue Ray format.

The show was typical in several ways of both Thin Lizzy shows and Gary Moore ones. As always with Thin Lizzy, "Cowboy Song" was followed by "The Boys Are Back in Town" and "Whisky in the Jar" is part of the encore. When Moore covered "Don't Believe a Word" as a solo artist he slowed it down into a ballad; here he begins performing his version before switching mid-song to the Thin Lizzy style rock song. As is always so with Moore, he closed on "Parisienne Walkways". Robertson and Gorham performed only songs they originally performed with Thin Lizzy, but in playing the closer Eric Bell was different. The DVD also contains the unveiling of a statue of Phil Lynnott in Grafton Street, Dublin earlier that day and rehearsals and interviews with Thin Lizzy members who featured in this concert.
