Excellent double live album from Whitesnake. Totally amazing teamwork from these guys. Album includes lots of sweet tracks... Great mix of blues rock and hard rock.

Highlights of this album are "Walking in the Shadow of the Blues", "Fool for Your Loving", "Ready an' Willing", "Take Me With You", "Ain't No Love in the Heart of the City" and that ten minute version of "Mistreated". Also Mick Moody´s blues guitar on "Love Hunter" is great.

No bad or average stuff. I think this is pretty perfect. Well, I was longing for some more slow blues-tunes like "Ain´t No Love..." I think I´ll have to take a half star away for that.

Huge live album. A must-have!
