No details on the packaging and (re)mastering status are available so far.
Unauthorized copying, while sometimes necessary, is never as good as the real thing
interesting for the ‘reading’ live albums and the DVD…while ‘trouble’ is my favourite Whitesnake album…
September 13th, 2011 at 19:32What label is this on?
September 13th, 2011 at 21:07Fandamtastic!!
September 13th, 2011 at 21:27Interesting, although very late.
Frustrated like Bernie I downloaded several GREAT bootlegs of the Old and REAL SNAKES by now.
I was not aware of the Washington performance yet.
Gonna try look it up somewhere : )
DVD?!
Well, that’s surely a great teaser.
I hope the old Snakes will be payed in FULL.(….)
September 13th, 2011 at 23:46WHY?
September 14th, 2011 at 05:29Hey hey, what’s with this bootleg dvd from 1980…any information over that, anyone!?
September 14th, 2011 at 06:21@2: As far as I know, it’s on EMI.
September 14th, 2011 at 07:11@5: Why not?
September 14th, 2011 at 07:11@ 6
The only reason NOT to buy this is that I d ofcourse prefer certain items and not the whole bunch..
I suppose this will cost a lot?
September 14th, 2011 at 11:00Great to have true Snakes live on official releases. Very welcome! Better late than never!
September 14th, 2011 at 16:40I can see the attraction of the two Reading shows and the DVD from 1980 but having bought all the remasters just last year there’s no way on God’s grey earth that I’m forking out for all that lot again…. I’ll wait a couple of years for them to turn up separately…… and they will turn up.
September 14th, 2011 at 18:36Got one question: Why isn’t this the remastered albums with bonus tracks?
September 14th, 2011 at 21:30I bet it’s gonna >>> sound <<<< like crap. Hope I’m wrong though.
September 15th, 2011 at 00:43There are “No details on the packaging and (re)mastering status are available so far.”, so we just have to wait for more details as they come.
In the meanwhile here’s a song from the Washington show to tease a bit:
Whitesnake – Ain’t Gonna Cry No More – Live 1980

Maybe, after this, they also can remaster the Donnington 1983 show and the Ludwigshafen 1983 show….while they are still at it, maybe release as a nice double pack?
Ah yes, that is wish full dreaming indeed.
