Whitesnake / Zepp Osaka 2003 / 2CDR

Doug Aldrich was welcomed, and restart WHITESNAKE which reached the 21st century. The best live album which announces the first visit to Japan is appearance.
What is included in such a work is “September 27, 2003 Zepp Osaka performance”. It is the best full audience recording. It was a resurgence six years after the 1997 Farewell Tour, but it was also the 25TH ANNIVERSARY TOUR, which commemorates the 25th anniversary of its formation. First, let’s look back on the show position from the date of that time.

・ September 18: Okaya City Cultural Hall Canola Hall
・ September 19: Aichi Art Theater
・ September 21: Tokyo International Forum
・ September 23: Zepp Sapporo
・ September 24: Zepp Sendai
・ September 25: Zepp Tokyo
・ September 27: Zepp Osaka [this work] ・ September 28: Zepp Fukuoka

Above, all 8 performances. There were no new releases at that time, and it was not a reunion with prominent members, but I went through the archipelago from Hokkaido to Kyushu. It was a tour that showed a strong and persistent popularity. The Osaka performance of this work was the concert that hits the 7th performance that will be the end of the stage.
This work which recorded such a spot is a superb audience recording without any counter value. It is the master who recorded a lot of famous recordings in Osaka at the end of the 90’s and early 2000’s, and the original collection of this musician was serialized in our shop. A series of masterpieces such as RAINBOW, HUGHES TURNER PROJECT, Yngwie Malmsteen, BON JOVI and more. Even in WHITESNAKE, great masterpieces “BUDOKAN 1997: DAVID’S BIRTHDAY PARTY (Shades 911)” and “HIROSHIMA 1997 (Shades 931)” as well as John Sykes’s press “OSAKA 1998 (Zodiac 233)” and “OSAKA 2004 (Shades 722) “This is also the work of this person. This work is the latest work of such a masterpiece collection, and it is one of the best items.
In fact, the clearness of this work is overwhelming. Although the audience can be felt by the sound of the drums, the vocals and the guitar are on and the details are so detailed. Doug and Reb Beach repeat the phrase, and even if two people play it in a fuss, they can clearly see the nuances of one sound and one sound. Of course, Cavaldale’s vocals are also excellent. Even if a powerful shout peeks, it does not beat, and delicate whispers and breath are caught in a beautiful way. Furthermore, it is audience noise to be impressed. I also inhale the mood of the site that is amazed at the revival after six years, but the weird voices and screams are not complete. A loud voice like swell swells in Cavaldale’s one voice, but the spectacle is also so distant that it does not come in between the powerful playing sound. It has not been transmitted to the recording position, but its beauty is comparable to modern digital recording more than 15 years ago. Restart WHITESNAKE is a record-rich as well as an introduction from the Shades label, but the quality itself is a premium press-grade sound with no problems.
And the show drawn by that sound is also wonderful. Restarting WHITESNAKE is changing the voice of Cavadale every year, and even in the official live “LIVE … IN THE SHADOW OF THE BLUES” three years after this work, fans who feel discomfort in their voice quality are now did. However, this work is the first visit to Japan soon after restart. The tension is strong everywhere and the growth is excellent. Of course, the beautiful voice that sings deep in emotions is alive and well, and it is nothing different from the golden age before revival.
It is “Soldier Of Fortune” to be amazement to the singing voice. I sing a cappella for a minute and a half in front of the highlight “Still Of The Night”, but the deep deep emotion is the voice of the soul. You can experience the great songs and the great recitations that you couldn’t even hear in “LIVE … IN THE SHADOW OF THE BLUES” with a 100% super-sounding experience.
A white snake in the 21st century along with the hard rock of the golden age. A large-scale complete recording from “Burn” before the full show started to a final announcement (whether the staff at the venue were impatient or the usage time was pushing or “Wish You Well” was awkward to wait for the end of the show) It is a masterpiece live album. This is a live version and a Japanese version of “LIVE … IN THE SHADOW OF THE BLUES”, and it is a masterpiece that lets you hear beautiful voices more than that. Please taste it carefully.
