Whitesnake/Aichi,Japan 1984

The live performance of Whitesnake, who was the final act of the Nagoya Baseball Stadium performance on August 4th, the first day of “Super Rock ’84” in 1984, is recorded completely in high quality audience recording over 72 minutes. This is a must-listen for fans, using the original master cassette directly, which is not available even among traders. Both the sound quality and the performance content are superb. In the MC after the second song, Guilty Of Love, Coverdale apologizes for the delay in the start of the show, taking time to set up, along with the words “Thousand Apologies”. Love Ain’t No Stranger, with Cozy’s drums, has a vivid distribution of vocal echoes, making it a great listen. The powerful Ready An’ Willing, Slow An’ Easy and Crying In The Rain feature Coverdale’s best vocals in his career. The powerful performance of the latter instrumental part of Crying In The Rain is a must-listen for fans. (The sound image fluctuates a little near the end of this song.) Cozy’s Mars drum solo is spectacular, with dramatic orchestral sound effects and flashy lighting, and the vivid sound conveys the audience watching with bated breath. At the end of Ain’t No Love In The Heart Of The City, David sings the word “Nagoya” for a long time with a lot of emotion. (Perhaps the monitor is not working properly, but Cozy puts in the drums at the end even though Coverdale hasn’t finished singing.) In the final song, Walking In The Shadow Of The Blues, you can hear the whole band playing together, which is very impressive, and in the middle, Sykes shows off a tremendous solo. This is a must-listen for fans, as it contains a complete recording of this precious live performance with a thick, high-quality sound with good separation.
