5. Mickeyfs Notes:
I was delightedly surprised with Whitesnakefs last show from Japan Tour 2013. Rumor has it Davidfs pipe was complete toast and his singing would get progressively worse, and then the worst would be most likely to be the last show (Osaka). So I was strongly advised to avoid the last gig and to get a ticket for the first or the second to the last show.

To be fair to Coverdale, he was suffering from severe vocal fold edema and a left vocal fold vascular lesion IN THE PAST. I knew that many of loyal Whitesnake fans cried out begging them to throw in the towel at numerous shows IN THE PAST. But that was then, this is now. Some say he fully recovered and has gotten his voice back. So I took a quick look at the latest picture of him on his facebook and wondered gHow the hell he looks so young and hairlycHe looks dumb good to be a pushing 60 year old rocker. So I figured "I should check this band at the most convinienet venue, Orix Theater, Osaka (30mins away from my house). And no matter what, at least I could say I saw his act one last time. Whatever will be will be"

The show was SOLD OUT. Orix Theater Osaka was completely packed with total different age groups from seemingly totally different walk of life. I also saw a couple of 8-10 year old boys and girls with their 30 to 50 something year old parents. The variety of the audience in different age group reflects upon this bandfs long successfully carrier and creation of loyal fans in different generation in Japan.

Just like any other good show, as the show time approached, I could feel the boiling excitement and anticipation forming the good vibe on the floor. When the light was out and the Whofs My Generation announced the opening of the show, Coverdale and his mates sneaked out on the stage in the dark. I could not see much with dimmed lights but Coverdale looked very healthy and fit kitted with the regular; the tour shirt. The opening chords and the thunderous drums of GIVE ME ALL YOUR LOVING TONIGHT blasted through the stacks on the stage. Coverdale moved around and covered the whole stage with the massive energy and finesse of a man half his age. Coverdale was in top form and clearly up for the job. Aldrich and Beach newly added on board, Davidfs voice was sounding full, strong and most of all convincing. Every now and then Coverdale seemed to take a break or rest his voice in the middle of guitar or drum solo during a 90 min show. It was rather short but surely worthy of checking it

6. Tapersf & Sound Editorsf Notes:
Recorded from this venuesf only one sweet sound spot with MK4 and Nbox combo. It all turns out to be one of the best recordings this year. The low end might sound a tad thinner than it should be but this is exactly how it sounded that night.
Highly recommended for all of Whitesnake fans. Get it quick and crank the volume all the way up!!
