Live At Islington Academy captures Thunder during the touring cycle of their eighth studio album, 'Robert Johnson's Tombstone'. The quintet had already completed a lengthy circuit of the UK in promotion of the record when they were contacted by Planet Rock Radio to perform at the station's inaugural Christmas Bash on 19th December 2006. A mere 800 fans were fortunate enough to witness Thunder's storming surprise performance that night, which was dominated by golden classics like 'Backstreet Symphony' and 'I Love You More Than Rock'N'Roll'.
