LIVE... IN THE STILL OF THE NIGHT is a live concert DVD by the band Whitesnake. The concert was filmed on 20th October 2004 at the Hammersmith Apollo in London. It was released on 9th May 2006 featuring the recording of the live performance, behind-the-scene documentary and a photobook. After David Coverdale’s solo album, Into The Light, in 2000. Whitesnake layed dormant for another two years. It was December of 2002 that David decided to reform Whitenake. And what a band he put together. It was Doug Aldrich and Reb Beach on guitar, Marco Mendozza on bass, Timothy Drury on keyboards and the mighty Tommy Aldridge on drums. The band toured for a couple years and in 2004, they recorded a show. It was on 20th October 2004 at the Hammersmith Apollo in London that a video recording was made of the show. The video, however, would not see the light of day for until 2006. There are sixteen songs plus a Tommy Aldridge drum solo which is not listed. The come out swinging with the Deep Purple song “Burn”. The song is unbelievable and this band tears it up. The tempo is turned up even higher and the band is attacking this song as if it was their own. David and Marco Mendozza shared the vocals during the chorus as they both gathered at David’s mic and sang the parts as if Marco was Glenn Hughes of Deep Purple. Great way to open the show. During the song, “Love Ain’t No Stranger”, the crowd helped sing along and you could see the pride on David’s face. Their hands were in the air because they were enjoying the show and they were living it in the moment like all live shows should be. There was a young lady that gave David some flowers with a touching note. David said thank you in the only way David knows how…he thanked her for her Tits!!…classic David!!

You get to see why David brought in Doug Aldrich as the lead guitarist. Doug’s solo is fantastic and then he goes in to his own song called “Blues For Mylene” which is brilliant. Throughout the show, Doug showed he could do Sykes, he could do Vandenberg and he could come close to doing Vai. He fits the band quite well. In the middle of “Crying In The Rain” you get Tommy Aldridge’s drum solo. Aldridge is such a freaking heavy hitter. He abuses those skins and luckily they hold up to the punishment. At the end of the solo, he throws his sticks away and goes ballistic on the drums with only his hands. The beast is unleashed as he attacks the drums with the same ferocity. The band give it their all throughout the show and are a sopping wet mess by the end to prove it. Reb was stellar as well and he is the real quiet hero of the group. Timothy Drury on keyboards hit all the notes you expect from those late 80’s Whitesnake songs that gave them the authenticity they needed to show this was still Whitesnake despite an entirely new band. There were a few surprises in the concert. They left room for more diversity which is a plus as you got songs from Deep Purple and early Snake and the crowd ate it all up. The bonus material was fairly lacking. It did have a 15 minute documentary on the band and the show. It interviewed all members and had some behind the scene footage. It was good for what it was, but it was short. There was also a photo gallery, but that was it. The packaging also came with a little book with pictures of the band and solo pages for each member. LIVE... IN THE STILL OF THE NIGHT is a nice piece in the collection.
