WHITESNAKE Leader Credits Band With DEEP PURPLE Show Opener
- Mar. 28, 2006
Launch Radio Networks reports: The new WHITESNAKE DVD "Live... In The Still Of The Night" opens with a nod to frontman David Coverdale's past, as the band rips through DEEP PURPLE's "Burn". While Coverdale is rightfully proud of his time in PURPLE, he didn't pick that song to kick the DVD off with. Coverdale told Launch that it was the other members of WHITESNAKE who made the decision. "When I said to them, 'What do you fancy doing this time?', and, and they all, to a man, said 'Burn'," he explained. "It was very influential to their musical history. So I was just a little reluctant, and I said, 'Well, let's see...' They worked it up, and I came in, and I went, 'Oh my God!' You know, that was really on fire, so as they smoked so well, it, it was a keeper!"
There's talk of WHITESNAKE doing shows in the U.S. again this year, but as of now, the only dates on the schedule are in Japan in May and Europe in June and early July.
Along with the DVD, WHITESNAKE also recently released a new best-of titled "The Definitive Collection".

I saw them play on that tour, and they couldnt have opened the show any better than with burn. It got the crowd roaring. probabally the best concert ive been to believe it or not.
