    Review - Coverdale Page 1993-12-20 Osaka, Japan
    Chapter Breakdown

    1. Little hut thing
    I don't know why this is here - I almost cut it. I just silenced the HUGE amount of static audio on it, left alone it and set the DVD to start 3 seconds later from the chapter menu. You can direct-access it if you really want to see it.

    7:18 PM

    2. Absolution Blues
    From Coverdale /Page - 1993 - The show starts with the purple lights sweeping the rafters and a killer guitar riff. Fast tempo song with lots of screaming from Coverdale. Coverdale spots the camera right off during the first verse of this song. Coverdale's voice is in good shape - especially to start off with gymnastics like this. I could do without the wolf howls, though

    3. Slide It In
    From Whitesnake's "Slide It In" - 1984 - "eers a sing for ya!" - probably the worst intro I could think of. Coverdale is over-excited about playing live w/ Page, it seems. Cheesier song than I remembered it being. I wish they'd have done "Slow and Easy" from this album, but this is pretty good.

    4. Rock and Roll
    From Led Zeppelin <untiltled> - 1971 - A decent drum intro from Carmassi and Page rips into it. Coverdale really digs into this in a way Robert Plant hasn't been able to do in years. He still doesn't come near Plants stage presence, be nails this. Page poses for the camera that he's noticed by now. He really tears this one up. Great solo and trademark Page rock-god poses - even does the jump!

    "Good Evening!" - Cheesiness from Coverdale. It gets worse - I started to cut it all but I'm a purist.

    5. Over Now
    From Coverdale / Page - 1993 - A great slow rocking song with a great revolving riff bridge. Killer intro on Page's Transperformance Guitar that Page would later use to great effect on the Page / Plant tour. More of this later in the show.

    6. Kashmir
    From Led Zeppelin "Physical Graffiti" - 1975 - Page uses "Over Now" to seg into this as he's always been fond of doing with Kashmir. Brett Tuggle does a great job backing Page. Nice and thick. Camera man falls over or something during this song.

    More cheesiness from Coverdale. He actually berades the help. You start to understand that poor Coverdale will never be Robert Plant. He should have gone to more Zep shows in the 70s.

    7. Pride and Joy
    From Coverdale / Page - 1993 - Brett Tuggle handles 2nd guitar on this for Page. Comes off really well. Can't help but think about how great this would have been as a Zeppelin song with Bonzo's swagger behind it. But wait - Coverversion stops the song to scream "fuck" at the audience and introduces Brett Tuggle (again), who proceeds to do an 1895 style old-west bar room piano solo. Jimmy comes back in and starts shreading the riff with Tuggle tickling the top of his board. Doesn't ruin it, but I'd preferred they just let Page play the song. Coverdale does manage to pull off the end pretty well. And introduces Tuggle again - and comments on his shirt.

    More cheesiness from Coverdale again introducing Guy Pratt, who does a pretty bass solo to lead into:

    8. Take A Look At Yourself
    From Coverdale / Page - 1993 - Starts off pretty good. I never thought this song fit the album, but was pretty good. Sometime during this song, you learn that, although none of these guys are really backup singers, they aren't afraid to try anyway. Meh. Page, of course, is right on target. Coverdale should have sung it solo.

    9. Take Me For A Little While
    From Coverdale / Page - 1993 - This song rocks. A great Page song. Gibson double-neck. Just wait 'til you hear the solo. SHREAD. Makes you take notice and go "That's Jimmy Page!" Song fits Coverdale's voice very well.

    Coverdale toasts the crowd.
    Jimmy introduces the next song as only Jimmy can.

    10. In My Time Of Dying
    From Led Zeppelin "Physical Graffiti" - 1975 - Out comes the Danelectro and the boys proceed to bring this old song to life. Page slide-solos his ass off.

    11. Here I Go Again
    From Whitesnake - 1987 - This would have been a good place for a harmonizer for Coverdale instead of having the band sing on the chorus. Page dutifully plays the guitar part - and pretty good solo, too (maybe the shortest of his career!) The band's backing vocals kind of ruin this one.

    Coverdale kisses Jimmy's ass.

    12. White Summer / Black Mountain Side
    pre-Led Zeppelin - available on 1990 box set and "Complete Recordings" - Jimmy sets the stage with a neat old chair and begins wailing away at his DADGAD signature piece. Pretty good rendition, too - not many sticky fingers at all. I keep waiting for it to go into Kashmir . Then he DOES! but not before going into Over the Hills and Far Away.

    Coverdale actually says "Are you ready to rumble?"

    13. Don't Leave Me This Way
    From Coverdale / Page - 1993 - I really like this song. Great soulful Page song. Fit's Coverdale's voice very well, too. Check Page's solo. Starts off slowly, then he really comes to life. Another "Hey - That's Jimmy Page!" moment. Unnecessary drum solo from Carmassi. Drums heads are too damn loose - bunch of clicking. I'd rather he played the Barracuda riff

    Coverdale says "fuck" a few more times and asks the crowd about their cocks. Also asks them to "Make some noise" as if he's at a Beastie Boys show.

    14. Shake My Tree
    From Coverdale / Page - 1993 - Brett Tuggle shows us that Guy Pratt is the one who can't sing by singing the bridge for Coverdale surprisingly VERY WELL. The TransPerformance guitar and Theremin solo that Jimmy will use later on the Page / Plant tour makes it's debut here. You saw it first here, folks!

    At this point, Coverdale has said domo arigato more times than the entire country of Japan during 1993 and he asks the crowd "Are you ready to rumble?" again.


    Encores
    8:50 PM

    15. In The Still Of The Night
    From Whitesnake - 1987 - Killer song - purple sweeping lights - check out the UNENHANCED JAPANESE crowd singing along in English. They know this shit. It becomes obvious here that Page has really practiced this one - he's dead on. Too bad he didn't join Whitesnake in the 80s! Check out Page's classic rock-god look with the cigarette and head down. Reminds you of why this guy is Slash's hero. Now the really cool part: The infamous stringed middle section. Page handles the whole thing on his own. The tempo is really a bit too fast, but Page digs in and NAILS it anyway with amazing precision. A real highlight of this show.



    16. Black Dog
    From Led Zeppelin <untiltled> - 1971 - Page: shread shread shread! Coverdale really shines on this one, too.

    Quick Zeppelin medley into "Feelin' Hot":
    17. The Ocean / Wanton Song / Feelin Hot

    Show ends 9:13 PM



    Summary -

    Great show. Most of the show, Coverdale was over-doing the front man thing between songs like a kid at his first show, further cementing his rep as "David Coverversion", as Plant has WAY more command over a stage. Too much "oo ta tay, yes indeedy deedy deedy, fuck this, fuck that, Osaka...OOOOsaaaaakaaa.... Domo Arigato, make some fucking noise, get ready to rumbuuulll", etc. But he DOES have a great voice and sounded BIG, like a rock star.

    Page was in great form - really coming alive and playing in a way he hadn't in years on this tour. It's worth it to watch this, because - In reality, this mini-tour is probably what got Page interested in reuniting with Plant. The magic wasn't quite there with Coverdale, but it made Page remember just how good a guitarist he is and long to be on stage again with Robert Plant.

    Two days later, the tour and the partnership were over. Not long after, Jimmy and Robert began working together on the unplugged special for MTV.
