Whitesnake, led by the soulful vocalist David Coverdale, returned to Japan for the first time in two years! This release features a complete recording of the final show of their 2013 "Year of the Snake" Japan tour—held at the Orix Theater in Osaka on May 10—captured in superb, high-fidelity sound that delivers all the power and atmosphere of the live performance. The vocals, band performance, and sound balance are absolutely spot-on! You’ll also be fired up by the roaring cheers from the crowd—a reaction that even took the band members by surprise. This is a truly excellent release, featuring the meticulous mastering work characteristic of the Sylph label. Perhaps due to Tommy’s return, the setlist includes a rare number of early-era songs—a treat not often seen in recent years. Highlights of the tour include "Gambler" (dedicated to Mel Galley, Cozy Powell, and Jon Lord), the mid-set acoustic renditions of "Ain’t No Love" and "Guilty of Love," and "The Deeper the Love"—a track that wasn't played during the early stages of the tour.
During "The Deeper the Love," there is a rare moment where David steps off the stage to sing passionately while sharing kisses and hugs with fans in the front row. The performance is packed with highlights from start to finish, featuring skillful arrangements that offer a fresh twist and plenty of interaction with the audience. David’s vocals are in top form throughout this magnificent 97-minute show—a must-listen for any fan! With a sense of realism that gives you goosebumps, this recording of the highly acclaimed tour finale is an essential addition to any collection. Here is a commemorative release brought to you by the Sylph label, featuring stunning cover art and superb sound quality.
