This is one of the best live rock bands ever. This release as well as Live... In The Still of The Night can atest to that as can anyone who as ever seen this band live. You won't find any "I forgot how this solo goes" (Ace Frehley) or "I can't sing all of these lyrics without passing out" (Vince Neil) at a Whitesnake show. This is an excellent two disc summary of the bands catalog and the performance is fantastic. The four new songs with Aldrich on guitar are in the classic Whitesnake vein and are not just thrown together for this compilation. They are very strong tracks that sound like they could have come out of the Sykes/Vandenburgh era. I have only two minor complaints here. One, the price is a little excessive. Two, the sound on this live effort is just fine but it is not as good as the sound on Live....In The Still Of The Night. The sound here is a little more polished than needed but that's only realized after hearing Live.....In The Still Of The Night.

Everytime I am buying a new album from a 80's band, an inevitable doubt crosses my mind: Is this worth to buy or just another desperate attempt to get some more money before they dissappear forever?

With Whitesnake is not the case, this is the kind of band that gets stronger with the years, even when they crossed through the 80's hair metal era, David Coverdale has been always a talented musician bringing new and fresh ideas in every Whitesnake record, but at the same time being consistent and clear on the sound he wants.

I felt confident to buy this record because I had the opportunity to see them performing live on this tour as opening act for Judas Priest in Mexico City and loved the show.

This is a good summary of the Whitesnake career, Coverdale keeps his great voice, excellent mix of songs between the old records and the 80's-90's era, great musicians line-up... and the band sounds mature and stronger than ever. Like good old wines, getting better with time.

The unreleased songs at the end sound good and fresh,definitely worth to listen, they sound more like a preview of an upcoming Whitesnake record rather than old cut tunes that didn't make it to previous records.

For metal fans that started in the early 80's like me, this record is an oasis, without tags, without molds, without crossovers, just an uncompromised pure rock album from a band that stills enjoys to play. I have really enjoyed listening this record from beginning to end.

Ironic, but good old bands sound fresh these days....

After the unrepeatable "Live in the Still of the Night" DVD, I thought that it would be hard to get another live album of the same quality. But, I was wrong. Whitesnake surprised us again with this double live CD that include most of the Whitesnake's hits. I was glad to see that songs like "Slide it in", "Slow and Easy", and "Walking in the Shadow of Blues" were on a song list. The reason I am rating this CD with 4 stars is that the sound quality was not as good as on the DVD, but it is still better than in the most live albums that are being produced. I was curious to see how the new songs will sound. Whitesnake fans were waiting new songs for a long time and I think that it was worth waiting that long. Ready to Rock, If You want me and Dog are classic hard rocker tunes, while the All I want is You is a typical Coverdale's powerful balad. I think that Whitesnake gave us a small taste of what we should expect from their full studion album announced for this year. It tastes great...

If you are a fan of live rock albums then trust me - buy this one.

Brilliant - what would you expect for this top band

Best Regards

I purchased this Whitesnake CD for my boyfriend for Christmas and he absolutely loved it. Says that there are four songs on this CD that have never been released before. I'm glad that I purchased it on Amazon...inexpensive and fast!

Thanks
