I was born in England(i now live in Boston USA)and have loved Whitesnake since 1980,saw them live in 88,and in donnington 1990,where incidentaly 2 tracks on the dvd are taken,and this album has,and never will sound better,do not quarrel with yourself over the price,its worth every cent!

Gorgeous packaging,and an album that has aged very,very well.

Get in your car and crank it up.

God bless you Mr.Coverdale.

This review is from: Slip of the Tongue (W/Dvd) (Aniv) (Audio CD)

Sorry but after slide it in Whitesnake

was never the same. 87' album was much

better as Sykes fit in better but

the slide it in line up was best ever!

of course Coverdale is great & some

material is awesome but most is just

not the best & I bought this for the

bonus tracks and videos. Vai as great

as he is did not fit & it's almost

unbearable to listen to these solos

of speed if your not impressed by

that sort of thing. I'm not. I think

Coverdale is great as he proved with

the new Whitesnake lineup and album

Bad to the Bone so if your looking

where to start I say anything from

the early days to slide it in then

the new album. Whitesnake is still

great but this wasn't the best.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great Re-mastering, extra material not so great..., July 30, 2009

This review is from: Slip of the Tongue (W/Dvd) (Aniv) (Audio CD)

I will start off by saying in 1990, Whitesnake was the first concert I saw w/out adult supervision. Me and my frinds all went alone, and we all loved the Slip of the Tongue cassette (no CD's back then for us!!). I was totally excited when I saw this come out...with live footage of some of my favorite songs from the album...

The re-mastering is really well done. It sounds great. The problem is I realized some of these songs dont hold up so well 20 years later. There are some fillers...althought there are still some great songs...Slip of the Tongue, Sailing Ships, Judgement Day, all great songs...Now Your Gone, Slow Poke Music, and even Kittens Got Claws, not so much. BUT, still a great CD.

Now, the extras...The live stuff on the CD is decent (with the exception of the horrid opening line Coverdale says before Slip of the Tongue "Here's one For Ya..."...makes me laugh every time I hear it). The DVD I have the biggest problem with. It has 3 videos, but some of the live performances dont have Steve Vai...One is an acoustic "Sailing Ships" w/ I think Adrian Vandenberg, "Judgemant Day" from like 2008, and the 2 songs w/ Vai is way over produced, dosent even look like a concert footage. Different camera styles, some slow motion, kinda poor quality, no shots of the crowd at all. Not really something I would re-watch. Too bad, I was totally looking forward to seeing Live Whitesnake w/ Vai.

Overall, if you like the original and want a much better sounding CD, buy this. If just buying for the extra's, I would save my $$.
