AC/DC’s Thunderstruck heralded the arrival of Thunder on stage and from that moment the audience was firmly held in an iron grip.

A loud pyrotechnic burst signalled “The Bang” but then Thunder went back to their first album and the Backstreet Symphony.  This was followed by two songs from the recently released album Bang, the tongue in cheek On The Radio and Carol Ann and finished with the perennial crowd pleaser Dirty Love which left the audience breathless.
