THUNDER Live At The BBC [1990 - 1995] (2010 UK 61-track Six CD
box set, featuring a treasure-trove of live and session recordings, with
every one previously unreleased and now fully remastered,
taken from the peak of their career. CD1 kicks of the box
on 9th December 1990 with the final night's set of a three-show run at
London's Hammersmith Odeon, with the band still basking in the
fantastic response to their debut album, 'Backstreet Symphony'.
CD 2 completesthe same Hammersmith show, before
moving across to Wembley Arena for Thunder's set at the 'Great
British Music Weekend', an offshoot of the Brit Awards. Disc
3 chronicles their debut appearance at Monsters Of Rock festival
at Castle Donington on 22nd August 1992, and regarded as among the
most important shows the band ever performed, and certainly
contributed to their support slot for Def Leppard two years later at the
Don Valley Stadium in Sheffield on 6th June 1993 where Thunder
performed a 'greatest hits' set in front of 50,000 fans, all of which is
captured here on the Fouth Disc. Disc Five [the
final live disc] covers the band's Shepherd's Bush Empire show on 8th
December 1994, which previewed their third album 'Behind Closed
Doors' and subsequently showcased new compositions such as 'River
Of Pain', 'Moth To The Flame' & 'Ball And Chain'. Completing the set,
CD 6 collects together four radio sessions made for the
BBC, all showing a rarer, acoustic, side to Thunder. Included here are
a two-song visit to Tommy Vance's Friday Rock Show in the summer
of 1992, a Nicky Campbell session which winds up a four-song routine
with a Thunder-ised take on Elvis Presley's 'All Shook Up', a Johnny
Walker session from February of 1993 and lastly a one-off
performance for Kevin Greening in April of 1995 which includes a
barroom-friendly rendition of the Dave Edmunds-popularised 'I Hear
You Knocking', complete with boogie-woogie piano solo from Ben
Matthews. All presented together in a clamshell picture box complete
with a liner notes from Classic Rock and Metal Hammer's Dave Ling!)
