Thunder was formed from the ashes of another great band - Terraplane - in 1989. The band are from London and surrounding districts. Having seen this band live about 30 times and can confirm that this is a good representation of a live Thunder gig, the atmosphere translates well to the CD and it is the next best thing to being there.
This is a double CD, with 22 live tracks. The tracklist includes well-known favourites, from the Back Street Symphony era, such as "Dirty Love" and "She's so fine", through the powerful "Does it feel like love?" and the haunting "Low life in high places" to the scorching "Gimme some lovin'". The general feel of this album is much the same as when you are at the gig, it flows very well from ballads to full-on "jump around and get sweaty" rock stompers.
This album shows the talent of a band who are real showmen, they give 100% on every performance, they always get the crowd going and they are very accomplished live performers, they have been doing live gigs since 1989 and it shows.
The insert booklet has loads of photos from the shows and some backstage shots too, it's good for a giggle!!
Buy this album - you will smile, you will cry, you will sing until your throat is sore and you WILL dance around your living room!!

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of KISS - Gold
Back street symphony was the debut album for the brit rock band thunder. They went on to produce many fine albums but nothing really come close to this. This albums contains several rock hyms the title track love walked in - shes so fine along with some of the irreverent fun that made thunder an excellent band to see live - an english man on holiday with the immortal lines "laying down in this spanish bar - the last slammer hit me like a car - I've got the 6am balieric blues - cant even focus on my own tatoos - I had a fight with a german guy - I saw him give my little girl the eye - while he was trying to act so cool - I hit him with a stool. The band has unfortunatley gone there seperate ways now and will be missed on the smaller venue rock scene in the UK. ...
Advantages: Brilliant and British Disadvantages: None
Thunder were undoubtedly one of the best British Rock bands on the scene during the early nineties, and this first offering from the Thunder camp is excellent.
The whole album is brilliant - from the wonderful ballad type tracks like "Love Walked in" and "Don't wait for me" to Gimme Some Lovin and Dirty Love.
An Englishman on Holiday is brilliant too - a very true song of what Brits are like on holiday - drinking , fighting and falling over! Very funny.
Thunder were brilliant, and just as good live as they were on vinyl (old style records to you younger peeps!)
Danny Bowers has a powerful voice that can easily do justice to ballads or rock-your-socks-off tracks, and the guitar work of Luke Morely, whilst not the best in the world, is certainly deservy of credit.
A brilliant band, an excellent album and the best live ...
