Back to the Bone
There’s a new Whitesnake live album out — Live In ‘84 – Back To The Bone. It features the band in transition from the good old boogie band to the hair metal one.
The album comes in two editions: DVD+CD and standalone DVD. The bulk of the DVD was recorded at a festival in Seibu Stadium in Tokyo with John Sykes on guitar, while bonus tracks are coming from Jon Lord’s final appearance with the band in Sweden.
CD features live performances recorded throughout the 1984 tour. Caveat: the sound quality of these is very bootleg-ish.

November 13th, 2014 at 10:31Great and far far better than any of the Whitesnake DVDs/CDs later on.
November 14th, 2014 at 10:33Still we need the real Whitesnake out on DVD. Like Donnington or even before that when Paice was on drums. THAT was Whitesnake.
It is a shame that the cameras almost completely ignore Jon during his final performance.

I listened to all of the set.. The line-up is the best, but the audio quality is pretty bad. It appears to be a bootleg, not something professional. A shame to have this as an official record.
