LIVE… IN THE HEART OF THE CITY is a live album by English rock band Whitesnake. Originally released on 3rd Novemrer 1980 as a double-vinyl album, and double-play cassette, it utilises recordings made in 1978 and 1980. The Classic Rock magazine in 2011 and 2023 placed it among the best live albums ever. Recordings made with The Rolling Stones Mobile Studio at the Hammersmith Odeon in London on 23rd and 24th June 1980, during the band's 1980 is The Ready ‘N’ Willing World Tour. Recordings made at the Hammersmith Odeon in London on 23rd November 1978 previously released in Japan in March 1980 as LIVE AT HAMMERSMITH. This show is fantastic even if it is only six tracks. It is old school Whitesnake when they were more a blues rock band then what came in the late 80’s, which wasn’t bad either. The guitar work of Micky Moody and Bernie Marsden were unmatched at the time and you throw in Jon Lord’s keyboard playing you get quite the powerhouse band. No one can touch Lord’s playing. And then Coverdale’s vocals were so fresh, yet gritty and bluesy and worked perfectly for this style. This is a showcase of greatness.
