On 5 November 1999, Thunder released a statement which revealed that they had decided to break up. The announcement explained that "After a great deal of exploration, discussion and soul searching, we have decided to split up. The reasons are many and complex, but to cut a long story short, we feel we have no choice. We must stress that this decision is due to outside business forces and not down to any personal or musical differences within the band." Speaking later about the band's breakup, vocalist
Danny Bowes explained that "I felt by late 1999 that we couldn't compete, and I was very fed up", adding that "Basically, I'd had enough". Both Bowes and guitarist
Luke Morley expressed frustration with the band's frequent change of record labels, including their latest label
Eagle Records. Starting the following month, the band completed an official farewell tour, beginning with a run of UK shows wrapping up on 11 December at
The Forum in
London. A Japanese leg of the tour followed in March 2000, before the band played one final UK show at
Dingwalls in London. Recalling the show in 2016, Bowes complained that "All kinds of bullshit went on. The sound was dreadful and we all hated it. It wasn't a great way to end, although we did record the audio and the audience was great, as usual." It was released later in Japan by
Victor Entertainment, on 27 May 2003. Another album recorded at the same show, ''
They Think It's All Over... It Is Now'' (featuring eleven of the fifteen electric songs and eight of the twelve acoustic songs), was released on 10 July 2000, and on 28 September 2005 both albums were reissued by
STC Recordings. ==Track listing==
