Live (1998) captures Thunder in a pivotal moment—gritty, urgent, and completely
unfiltered. Recorded during a period of renewal following the arrival of new bassist
Chris Childs, this live album showcases the band’s raw determination and musical
firepower. It’s not a polished, pristine live record—and that’s exactly why it
endures. There's an edge to every note, a hunger in every chorus. Fans are right
there in the thick of it, singing along, cheering through extended solos and
spontaneous stage banter that add an electric sense of immediacy.
This release draws heavily from the band’s first four studio albums and includes
timeless fan favorites like “Love Walked In,” “Backstreet Symphony,” and “Dirty
Love.” What sets Live (1998) apart is its ability to capture Thunder’s essence as a
live act: passionate, loud and unapologetically rock and roll.
Now, for the first time ever, Live (1998) will become available as a stunning 3LP or
ltd. 4LP Gatefold - presented alongside a stunning 2CD or ltd. 3CD Digipak edition,
as well as Digital Download and Streaming—featuring remastered audio for 2025.
Thunder – Live will be available via earMUSIC on January 16 th , 2026.
