Thunder take their final bow at DownloadDownload 2009 reviewWednesday 17th June 2009 Thunder were scheduled in the program as a '???????' band, but seeing as they were announced the week of Download it was possibly the worst kept secret ever, but I for one was grateful of the chance to catch them in what was going to be a very emotional set and judging by the crowd spilling out the tent I wasn't alone.
After the opening track Bowes took the opportunity to tell the crowd this was to be their last ever Donington performance, the emotion showing on his face as he thanked all the fans for all their support, looking around me it was obvious how well regarded this band are as a few sleeves were mopping away tears, 20 years is a long time and unlike other bands Thunder haven't seen many line-up changes and no one will be able to fill the void that they will leave behind.
The final track I thought would make a great tribute to all the fans 'I Love You More Than Rock n' Roll', even after this the crowd wasn't quite ready to say goodbye so an encore of 'Backstreet Symphony' brought their set to a close. Boys you will all be missed, let the tears commence.
