Originally recorded in 1997, Live documented Thunder during a period of renewal and momentum. The album stands as a raw, unfiltered snapshot of a band firing on all cylinders—fueled by towering riffs, blues-infused grooves, and the unmistakable voice of Danny Bowes, alongside the masterful songwriting and guitar work of Luke Morley. The remastered edition breathes new life into these performances, amplifying the immediacy and intensity that made the original release such a fan favorite.
Formed in the late 1980s, Thunder has long been one of the most enduring and respected names in British hard rock. Their ability to blend classic rock traditions with arena-sized hooks and soulful authenticity has earned them a fiercely loyal global following. Live perfectly encapsulates this identity — powerful yet heartfelt, polished yet spontaneous.
The recordings also mark the arrival of Chris Childs, who joined the band shortly before these shows and has remained a cornerstone of the lineup ever since. The performances crackle with energy and interaction, featuring extended solos, unrehearsed moments, and a palpable connection with the audience. This is not a staged live album — it’s the sound of a band living in the moment.
