I picked this up yesterday.
All I can say to sum it up is that it is fantastic.
The band Coverdale has put together is totally smokin`.
They play the fuck out of those tunes, note-for-note, with a real attention to detail, particularly impressive on the "1987" tracks, which any guitarist who has ever tried to play them will tell you that they are as hard to play correctly as they are fun to play.
Special mention must go to guitarist Doug Aldrich and drummer Tommy Aldridge.
Aldrich nails every guitar solo, whether it be Blackmore`s in "Burn", Sykes` in "Still of the night" or Vai`s in "Fool for your loving", the guy is an amazing player.
Aldridge`s drums pound right through the excellent 5:1 mix, driving every song and cementing his position as one of rock`s all time great drummers.
Coverdale is his usual rock star self, doing what he does best, totally unflappable.
Track list:
Burn
Bad Boys
Love Ain`t No Stranger
Ready An` Willing
Is This Love
Give Me All Your Love
Judgement Day
Blues For Mylene
Snake Dance
Crying In The Rain
Ain`t No Love In The Heart Of The City
Don`t Break my Heart Again
Fool For Your Loving
Here I Go Again
Take Me With You
Still of The Night
The only things missing are concert powerhouses like "Slide It In", "Slow An` Easy" and "Walking In The Shadow Of The Blues" and this would have been perfect.
The picture and sound are great.
It comes with a bonus CD with about half of the concert on it.
If this band can write as well as they can play, then there`s a killer album waiting to be made, when Coverdale finally gets his finger out of his arse.
Buy in confidence.
