Live

Live is the second live album by the English hard rock band Thunder and the first released outside of Japan. Recorded over four shows in November 1997 at Wulfrun Hall in Wolverhampton and Shepherd's Bush Empire in London, it was produced by the band's lead guitarist Luke Morley and engineered and mixed by Mike Fraser. It was released by Eagle Rock Entertainment on 16 February 1998. An accompanying video was released by Eagle Vision on 28 March 1998. Following the departure of Mikael "Micke" Höglund in 1996, Live is the first release by Thunder with the bass guitarist Chris Childs. It is also the band's first release on the Eagle label, with whom they signed in November 1997. The album includes songs from all four of the band's studio albums released up to that point, as well as a number of cover versions. Live reached number 35 on the UK Albums Chart, while the video album reached number 10 on the UK Music Video Chart. Live was promoted on its own concert tour which began with shows across Europe on 3 March 1998, with a leg of UK performances in May and June, followed by a run of Japanese dates in June and early July. The band also supported Status Quo on a European tour in April.
