This release features a soundboard recording of the first of two shows by The Firm at the Hammersmith Odeon in London on December 8, 1984, during their European tour. Formed in 1984, the supergroup—featuring big names Jimmy Page and Paul Rodgers—was active until 1986 and released two albums, generating significant buzz at the time. Their sound is a straightforward, accessible style of hard rock, with both Page and Rodgers delivering excellent, consistent performances in a relaxed atmosphere. The overall quality is superb—a top-tier live show that speaks for itself. The performance captured here took place during their European tour, shortly after the band’s formation and prior to the release of their debut album. This recording has been carefully restored—including noise reduction and tonal balancing—to ensure a consistently high-quality listening experience from start to finish.
