Casiopea - Thunder Live

Thunder Live is the first live album from Japanese jazz fusion band Casiopea, originally recorded on February 8th and 9th, 1980 at ABC Hall in Shiba, Tokyo.

There are two versions of the album's cover art: the first version had a radically colored portrait of the band members standing against a backdrop of red lotus flames. However, from the repressed version, the jacket was changed to an illustration of lightning striking the surface of the sea. The mother of Akira Jimbo (Casiopea's drummer) was puzzled when she saw the cover art of the first edition, and was concerned of the image it would give as this was her son's debut record with the band.
