Released recently in 2023 out of Europe. The couple of shows, however, are new recordings. First one up is one from Washington State “Wipeout” is a 2 LP set that comes in a nice gatefold with a picture of the band included. The vinyl that comes with the set are a beautifully clear colour and they look stunning.
The 2 LPs carry a different a show for each. On album 1, we get the Spokane Washington show that was performed on July 24rd, 1984. This would’ve been after the release of their 1984 album, ‘Slide it In’, which came out on January 30th, 1984. The show was at the Spokane Coliseum and had the line-up of David Coverdale, John Sykes, Richard Bailey guitars, Neil Murray bass and Cozy Powell on drums. A stellar line-. They opened for Ronnie James Dio so not a long set list and it is all captured . The recording was an FM Radio Broadcast.
On the second album , The show that was recorded on March 1st, 1984 and was another FM Radio Broadcast (I’m sure this was a Radio One In Concert series. recorded at the Apollo Theatre in Glasgow, where they were the headliner with Great White opening. The full show is 16 tracks so we don’t get the whole show, but we do get 5 tracks at least. If you want the full show, pick up the “Slide It In” Super Deluxe Edition as Whitesnake issued it officially in that box set. I believe this show would include Jon Lord as he left the band in April.
