1989....jr year going into my senior year of high school 89-90, saw this tour in may of 1990 right before graduating one of the last great albums of the 80's good times.

[@redpillanimations]

Same here dude in 1992 I gave up playing bass because of the grudge bullshit I was already in a stable band going from playing covers we got out shit together only to be told to do what Pearl Jam or idiots of nirvana so three years ago coworker gave me cheap bass ( China amazing bass) but that’s all needed so I would go bald and watch this video and many like it.

I didn't know Coverdale could play guitar let alone that well. Seems very blued influenced with some jazzy chords. I love seeing the Peavey VTM 60's...Whitesnake is why I bought a VTM60 and a 120 back in the day. And Adrian Vandenberg is why I bought Peavey Nitros (still own 3) and Tracers.

[@zendakk]

As far as I remember, Steve Vai came aboard pretty late. Adrian had an injury that prevented him from recording (what you see here is just rough pre-production that didn't go on the album), so Steve recorded all the guitars parts, in his Mothership studio. The songs had been written at that stage.

[@TANTRUMGASM]

so I wondered too, and you will like what i found I believe the bronco scene is a motel parking lot where the band might be staying...the building "behind" them looks like a motel, and it looks exactly like the building they are entering......the Parking lot and the busy road behind them doesnt look like a rock star address on the lake.it looks motelish.... so, I believe Coverdale Bought that "rental" house, because he has owned the same house in Tahoe since 1988,crystal bay,....... and I believe it is the house where they are writing and rehearsing in this video..... here is a full video of David Coverdales house in 2019 www.sacbee.com/news/business/article228879989.html/video-embed
