This album is quite strange, because even though it's a live album, it is also the first album for Company Of Snakes. And what Company Of Snake are? Well, actually it's the trio from the original Whitesnake line-up (without Coverdale of-course!) with a new signer, drummer and keyboardist.

Here They Go Again - Live was recorded in Wacken 2000 Open Air Festival and in Oslo, and it contains 20 songs. The track listing consists mainly of Whitesnake classics, such as Fool For Your Lovin', Is This Love?, Here I Go Again etc. plus the famous Rainbow song Since You've Been Gone and as well as some new songs.

The quality of the sound is fantastic for a live album. All the instruments and the vocals are very clear. The crowd is non-existent during the songs, and that is one of the biggest drawbacks. The performance of the songs is also very good, but even though Stefan Bergren is a fine vocalist, he can't match Coverdale's truly unique spirit of voice.

Here They Go Again - Live is a very good live album, full of classic dynamites, performed very well, and with the Rock Spirit alive!
