Thunder announce 2019 UK Christmas shows

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!) […]
