The title itself, “8186,” signifies the scope of the material, drawing from the band’s repertoire spanning their 1981 debut right up to their powerful mid-80s output.
“8186 Live” features the definitive classic lineup showcasing their incredible instrumental prowess and stage command. Recorded during the era following their global breakthrough with “Thunder in the East,” this album delivers blistering live versions of fan favorites and signature anthems.
