Multi platinum band WHITESNAKE co-headlined the LOUD PARK festival on October 15th 2011 at Saitama Super Arena in Japan during their FOREVERMORE WORLD TOUR. The performance was initially only recorded for Japanese TV and future Loud Park promotions, but after 3 songs were broadcasted on a Loud Park highlights program in Japan, WHITESNAKE received unprecedented requests for this performance to be made available for a general release. Having spent most of 2012 editing & mixing this show in stunning HD as a multi format DVD-CD in 5.1 and Stereo release, just prior to commencing the YEAR OF THE SNAKE 2013 World Tour, a brand new exceptional performance is added to the history of WHITESNAKE Live releases... Now all fans can relive the irresistible magic of WHITESNAKE in concert any time their heart & loins may desire... Featuring WHITESNAKE's best known classics and quite a few recent musical surprises that the fans, new and old, have been clamouring for: blistering guitar work from six string guitar slingers, Doug Aldrich & Reb Beach, both celebrating their 10th anniversary with the band this year. The earth-shaking rhythm section, 'The Wrecking Crew', Michael Devin (bass) & Brian Tichy (drums) anchoring the deep & dirty foundation of the SNAKE, accompanied by the swirling sonic tapestries of special guest keyboardist Brian Ruedy & of course, the chest beating, seductive vocals of frontman & founder, David Coverdale. After hearing the soundcheck recordings from the different Japanese venues, the band decided to include them in the package as special bonus content. They agreed that everything would be related to their 2011 Japanese tour. So, when you think about it, it is appropriate that they have decided to call the project...wait for it....MADE IN JAPAN The Mighty Snake takes you places you have never been before & brings you back safe & ALIVE! The Forevermore songs alone are worth the price of admission, not forgetting the classic Whitesnake songs, "Is This Love", "Still Of The Night" and "Here I Go Again" all performed at the height of their musical powers.
