About Whitesnake
Whitesnake is a hard rock band, founded in 1977 by David Coverdale (formerly of Deep Purple). They were active primarily in the 1980s, but still tour, albeit with an entirely new line-up (bar Coverdale), to this day. Some of the most famous musicians who have joined the band for a time were: Jon Lord, Ian Paice, Cozy Powell, Neil Murray, Bernie Marsden, Micky Moody, Rudy Sarzo, John Sykes, Adrian Vandenberg, Vivian Campbell, Tommy Aldridge and Steve Vai. The band's early material has been compared by critics to Deep Purple, not only because three past members of the band were once in Deep Purple, but also because of their sound and influences. Later, the band took on a sound more in line with the hair metal style popular in the mid to late 80s, although they never truly left their blues-rock roots behind Formed in the late 1970s by David Coverdale after leaving Deep Purple, Whitesnake were originally a blues rock band with Jon Lord and Ian Paice from Deep Purple in the band. Despite several albums and constant touring, Whitesnake was unable to attain any significant commercial success. After acquaintance with Chris Cuttler, Fred Frith and most importantly, young guitarist John Sykes, David Coverdale decided to turn to a harder, more commercially viable sound. Whitesnake made their first splash in the states in 1984 with "Slide It In", featuring the self-titled single as well as "Slow An' Easy". Three years later, thanks to radio friendly Zeppelin-ish songwriting and MTV friendly Tawny Kitaen's automobile acrobatics, Whitesnake became superstars with the "[album]Whitesnake[/album] (entitled "[album]1987[/album]" in Europe, and "[album]Serpens Albus[/album]" in Japan) album. Containing the US smash hits "Here I Go Again", "Is This Love", "Still of the Night" and others, the album eventually sold over 10 million copies. In something of a surprise move, Coverdale replaced the entire band for the subsequent tour, ditching Sykes for guitarists Adrian Vandenberg and Vivian Campbell. Also joining the band at this point were bassist Rudy Sarzo and drummer Tommy Aldrich. Campbell left shortly after the tour (going on to replace Steve Clark in Def Leppard. Vandenberg, despite penning most of the material on the follow-up album, was unable to record due to a freak wrist injury. Guitar virtuoso Steve Vai was brought in to record all of the guitar parts for "[album]Slip of the Tongue[/album]", which was released in the spring of 1989. Despite going platinum, the album did not reach the stratospheric heights of "[album]Whitesnake[/album] (entitled "[album]1987[/album]" in Europe, and "[album]Serpens Albus[/album]" in Japan). With a divorce looming, and the alternative 'grunge' movement threatening to destroy the melodic rock movement, Coverdale dissolved Whitesnake. In the late 90s, David Coverdale and Adrian Vandenberg finally recorded together again. Initially intended to be a Coverdale solo effort, the Whitesnake name was eventually attached (much like the Tony Iommi/Black Sabbath projects of the late 80s). The resulting products were a new studio album entitled "[album]Restless Heart[/album]", and the live acoustic set, "[album]Starkers In Tokyo[/album]". In the early 2000's Coverdale relaunched Whitesnake fully with an entirely new lineup centred around guitarists Reb Beach and Doug Aldrich (previously of Winger and Lion/Dio). This Whitesnake embarked on tours across the globe, releasing the "Live In the Still of the Night" DVD and "Live... In the Shadow of the Blues" on CD in 2006. A new studio album, "Good to be Bad", is due in May 2008, with touring to follow.

Enjoyed it very much! Found it to be very loud though. Lead singer was good for his age but was overplayed by the background music. To be expected for an older band. They did announce a new album coming out this Friday and am looking forward to hearing it.

It was great to see DC this one last time, before he hangs up his mic. Shame his voice is now not what it once was. He struggled, to put it mildly. I’ve been a big fan, for nearly 50 years, and I don’t criticise lightly. Happy retirement David.

Decent performance from the musicians but David Coverdale is losing his voice fast. They tried to make up for this by turning up all the instruments way too much to the point where you could barely hear him. Other than that, good show; good venue, Lightshow, Merch, etc.

The band was great. David Coverdale is still one of the greatest front men in hard rock. An extra nod to Reb Beach who was brilliant on guitar and Tommy Aldridge who was beating the heck out of the drums the whole set.

Great show. My autistic son wanted me to take him. He loved the "whitesnakes" as he calls them. Great crowd. Both bands played good sets. Got to meet the openers. All in all a good time.

The boys still have it! Thanks for putting on a great show in the heat of the direct sunlight. My favorite Tommy Aldridge 67 years young and still killing it! Worth the price if admission!

Simply amazing. Best line overheard after the show...... that was better than 1978! DC was perfect taken great care of himself. The band destroyed. Cleveland need more shows like this. Almost sold out as well.
