 Coverdale still rocks November 16, 2007
Bmmitchell (Australia)
Received this in Australia from Amazon supplier Import CD's within 2 weeks of ordering. Fantastic service. Coverdale still rocks as good as he used to. The band he has put together are real pros. Concert mix is a little heavy on the bass sound. The 4 new songs are circa 1987 Whitesnake.

Mainly, I'd just like to comment on the new studio songs. What year is this, 1987? I would have loved these back then but hearing them in 2007 doesn't work for me. I hate when Coverdale sings in the high register. His voice works so much better in the lower range. He is trying too hard!
As far as the live stuff, it didn't do it for me either. I just ordered my copy of the remastered "Live in the Heart of the City". That should get the bad taste out!Live in the Heart of the City

The other individual who reviewed this CD ... is irritating. A musically narrow-minded person who can't just judge the album on the album, who like (the minority of) other WS fans felt left behind when 'Snake hit it big in the US with "Slide It In" and "1987". It's the same with the Metallica fans who say Metallica sucked after "And Justice for All" ... (in other words ripping the BLACK album) ...
Coverdale's voice is pretty good (not the best it's ever been, but strong) and Doug Aldrich is awesome on guitar, playing the Sykes solos very well --- Anybody who reads that really negative review should see it through the true perspective: that some felt it wasn't 'their' Whitesnake anymore when WS made it huge on the trilogy of albums they put out on Geffen ... So if one has the premise anything they've done since the
"Come and Get It" days is junk, there's NO WAY a live album largely consisting of post-1984 material (with a couple new tracks) is gonna get a
normal review. And WS was great pre-1984? But not after?? B.S. - the
1987 album is a metal work of art (even though I didn't like "Is This Love"), an emotional masterpiece of mood ... and while they contained great songs the production of the 3 WS albums, "Ready and Willing", "Come and Get It", and even "Saints and Sinners" is TERRIBLE, sounds like 3 guys jamming in a garage on 40 Watt amps.
Of particular note on this live album is the smash-mouth drumming, in the live songs ... the drummer does a superb job, gives this lineup of WS a really solid backbone. One other note of contention - Coverdale has in fact been given the runaround by certain folks in the American record industry, since Whitesnake's return to the scene 3 years ago. Easy to see why as most short-sited music execs these days all they are looking for is the next NICKELBACK (like Hinder), and couldn't care less about emotionally powerful music anymore. This is a kick-a CD ...
"Coverdale has nothing to offer" in '06-'07? Well according to some he hasn't had anything to offer since 1982! (when I was in bloody middle school) ... So yeah why would Cov have anything to offer in 2006. Go figure. Anyway the new ballad rocks.
GREAT CD. {And btw for commercially released live CDs pretty much all bands go in and fix a mistake here and there, vocal and guitar ... it isn't like Ashley Simpson on Saturday night live ...}

I guess it depends on the band you hear when you think of Whitesnake... If you hear the glammed up 1987 version you might like this debacle of an album... If -like me- you think of the band who made Ready & Willing and Come An' Get It, you should avoid it like the plague.
I'm always suspect of a live album that doesn't include the dates at which the shows were recorded in the credits and that's the case here. The reason is simple to my ears... If you heard the soundboard tape of any Whitesnake show in the last few years & compared the vocals to what you hear on this CD you'd know that Mr Coverdale has spent many a month tarting up his vocals... not that they sound that good anyway. This is a man who could once send shivers down the spine if you were standing at the back of a muddy field on a rainy day in August... now he'd be lucky to scare the cat! All the passion & soul has been drained from that once mighty voice & even in full overdub mode he screeches & squawks through the material here as his soul-less plastic backing band pose through the numbers.
There's new songs too... They're embarrassing.
Shame on you. Mr Coverdale, for dragging a mighty band down to the status of lame vanity project. You talk long & loud about how the industry has mistreated you but the sad truth is that you're on a minor "release music by has beens" label because you HAVE NOTHING TO OFFER.
