Blood, Fire & Live
Blood, Fire & Live is the first live album from Scottish rock band The Almighty, released on 8 October 1990 through Polydor. It was recorded in July 1990 on their "Wild and Wonderful" tour, and it arrived just after their debut, Blood, Fire & Love. The title and the defaced cover are a pun on that first record.
The set draws on the debut, with one exception: a cover of Bachman–Turner Overdrive's "You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet". That makes it a good snapshot of the band at the start of their career, played on stage and fresh from their first album. Their next studio record, Soul Destruction, followed in 1991. In 2015 Spinefarm Records reissued the live album as the second disc of a three-disc deluxe edition of Blood, Fire & Love.
