They were the openers for Quiet Riot who just released Condition Critical. So you're right it was 84 and Slide It In was out. Close enough though. ....

<p>Thank you.</p>
<p>Even though, I also think it's cool, I don't think, it was the same tour? "My" tour was the "Saint & Sinners"-tour in Jan. '83, just a month or two after the release. I thought, you said, you saw Whitesnake on the "Slide It In"-tour? That album was released in March '84, or something like that. Later John sykes joined the band, and they re-recorded the guitars.

I think, that's the reason for no Jon Lord in the video, because he was already out of the band, along with Moody and Neil Murray. It sounds to me, like the guitar-solo, is Sykes, and not Micky Moody, who played on the album, I bought on the relasedate in March '84. Who were in the band you saw in concert?</p>

<p>I think its cool that we seen him on the same Whitesnake tour and then many years later we connect and were here still talking about it! The interwebs are awesome! Its interesting to know that Jon Lord played on the album but no keyboard player is in the video, not to detract from the Powell, but that stood out to me.</p>

<p>The Rainbow video is great!, but Wow! Look how young Schenker is!!! This is my favorite of all the videos in this post, it really showcases how smooth his playing is and the camera gives him some airtime!</p>
<p></p>
<p>The Black Sabbath he played in was totally lost to me, way off my radar at the time. Its not terrible though the production is really dated.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I loved his drumming, maybe it was his name that stood out at first but his ability took over and he will forever be remembered!

<p>Well, I have certainly heard of Powell, but I've never seen him or really given attention to the fact that he was drumming on stuff I was listening to.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Stargazer - I agree, that's a terrific drum intro. This is a cool song, though possibly a bit too long. The video is a performance piece for the most part, with a few still photos and at least one desert scene (which makes no sense) thrown in for good measure. This one gets two thumbs up.

The video is a performance piece for the most part, with a few still photos and at least one desert scene (which makes no sense) thrown in for good measure. This one gets two thumbs up. Even though the video isn't particularly special, it gets the benefit of a doubt simply because of the "cool" factor.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Arena - I've never given much thought to MSG either. I would have never known Powell was in that band if you hadn't told me. The video is another live performance, which makes sense since it's a live version. I'll go thumbs sideways for the video. The bassist and Powell are tearing it up. The song overall gets a thumbs sideways, with a thumbs up to CP's performance.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Slow/Easy - This is more familiar to me. But I didn't know anything about Whitesnake until after the 1987 album. I've always liked their videos, especially from the 1987 album, but this one is cool to. Mostly performance, but Coverdale and his band were definitely cool. I love the machine gun style of drumming that Powell plays on this, and any time I hear it in a song I think of Whitesnake. Two thumbs up for this one, video and song.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Cross - I did not listen to Black Sabbath until the last few years, going back and picking up many of their albums. This is one I haven't picked up. I saw it in the used CD store, but it looked fake for some reason, so I left it. This is definitely steeped in late 80's sound and production. I like the song, but I can see that it wasn't particularly radio friendly. I also don't remember the video at all, but I would have liked it back then, the performance mixed with "acting". I like it now too. So another double thumbs up.</p>
<p></p>

<p>Yeah, there are quit a few video's and bands to pick from, when it's regarding Powell.</p>
<p>I strongly considered something from Jeff Beck Group, and come to think of next week's VOTW, I probably should had done it <img src="http://www.bkserv.net/images/Smile.gif"/></p>
