Whitesnake/England,UK 1982

The very early live album of “SAINTS & SINNERS TOUR 1982/1983” by the six members who would later create the masterpiece “SLIDE IT IN” is back! SAINTS & SINNERS TOUR 1982/1983” includes a powerful lineup of songs such as the official video “MONSTERS OF ROCK 1983”, the German TV broadcast “LIVE… IN THE WEST OF THE RHINE”, and the Japanese performance “BUDOKAN 1983 MONITOR MIX”. We produce a large amount of soundboard/pro shots. Of course, for those who come into contact with this lineup for the first time, we recommend the easy-to-understand Donington and German performances, but for those who think “Oh, this era is good too!”, we would like you to experience this work as well. The taste of this work, which is not found in the standard high-quality sound boards and professional shots, is the “excitement of the very early stages of the tour” and the “excellent audience sound” that accurately conveys it. Although this “SAINTS & SINNERS TOUR 1982/1983” is called “1982/1983,” the tour started in December 1982, and there are only 14 performances in 1982. Among them, the “December 15, 1982 Newcastle performance” included in this work is the very early stage of the tour, the 5th. After all, this is the fifth time since the long-awaited debut of the new lineup, and they have just signed a new contract with the GEFFEN label. This work is overflowing with the passion of the first step towards world domination. WHITESNAKE’s famous songs, which used to be bitter blues rock, become very powerful, but it is an ensemble that overflows with “feelings” as if they are barely holding back the urge to run away. The later performances in Japan, MONSTERS OF ROCK, are all great performances with their own spirit, but this work is the best in terms of momentum. Moreover, it is not just rampage, but the “fifth time” is exquisite. Actually, this Newcastle performance was a three-day performance, but on the day before and the day before that, there were some mistakes made in timing and too much momentum. However, this work, which was held on the third day at the same venue, was the first night where the new members were in harmony with each other, without any mistakes or stiffness. Released as “Shades 232)”. Not only the band but also the audience are excited about this new beginning. The sound that conveys that freshness is also amazing. This recording has been known for a long time, and was considered a “tour masterpiece” by audience recording groups. It is a famous recording that has produced many bootlegs, but in this work we have reprinted only this day’s version from the latest version “COMPLETE NEWCASTLE TAPES”. Anyway, you can clearly enjoy all the instruments, and the cheers and applause are super realistic. The excitement of being hit by the revived WHITESNAKE classics with the beats of Cozy Powell and Colin Hodgkinson and saying, “This is amazing!” is vividly conveyed, and with just one voice from Coverdale, thousands of “Oh!” will be returned. Despite this, you can feel the concentration of the new ensemble so as not to overlook it, and it only adds color to the music and does not interfere with it. Of course, Koji’s drum solo using “633 Cavalry + 1812” is also completely vacuum packed with an enthusiastic audience shouting “Koji!” A new “Lausanne performance” coupling with Ozzy Osbourne has been released on CD, and although it has surpassed this work in terms of directness, this work is still number one in terms of the audience filling the space and the enthusiasm of the performance. is. “SAINTS & SINNERS TOUR 1982/1983” is packed with masterpieces, including soundboard/pro shots and audience recordings. For that reason, this work is one that tends to be hidden in the shadows, but this awesomeness is outstanding not only at the beginning of the tour but also throughout the tour. There are many audience recordings from Japanese performances and MONSTERS OF ROCK, but this is one of the best recordings for the audience. The true value of the new WHITESNAKE was bluesy yet powerful. I would like those who underestimate this period as a transition period to experience this amazing experience.
