... Date presented this package Whitesnake between 2 incarnations. The (European-style) Bluephase walked past, the (US-dominated) hair metal phase began. Jon Lord went and anonymous Tastendrücker came. Ian Paice was gone, Cozy Powell thought for a lot of pressure, but lacked feeling and subtleties. On guitar Sykes thought for acrobatics, but the band lost a blues. And above all gymnastics Coverdale rum, (yet) focused more on poses, sometimes more than on singing, they wore studs and bullet belts and beat themselves with new material and classic. This is an interesting historical document, for me musically but a weaker phase of a band that slipped off the old skin, the new but not yet had over it. And when she appeared in the new plaster, 3 years later, it was -I admit - not more to my liking. However, at least consistently. The DVD I liked from sentimentality good, especially the recordings with Jon Lord. The CD I once endured and now shelved. There are bootlegs with similar good or bad sound and far inspirierteren performances.
