Whitesnake is back on tour with their greatest hits catalogue. After loving the Purple Tour, I had to be there for this show.
I have been so impressed with Whitesnake last year. The show was amazing, so it was a no-brainer to purchase tickets for this show. The line-up of the band was the same as in December, but we did have an amazing special guest joining at the end of the show.
THE ANSWER
The support act was Northern Ireland’s The Answer. A great band that is celebrating the 10-year anniversary of their debut album, Rise. I wasn’t familiar with the band, but seeing them live was awesome! Singer Cormac Neeson really gives some 70s vibes in his singing and dancing, which was great. The whole band played superb and delivered a killer set.
Soaring vocals in combination with groovy riffs, that even had some Celtic influences. The Answer were a perfect support for Whitesnake, and It had me really warmed up. Some of my personal highlights of The Answer’s set were Under The Sky, Come Follow Me and Thief of Light.
Go check them out, you will not be disappointed!
GREATEST HITS
Legendary band Whitesnake has been around since 1978 and scored a global hit with the 1987 album. But till recent, the English hard rock band has been releasing new albums. That, sometimes said, it is good to look back at a lengthy career and play the best off. Whitesnake had that idea and embarked on The Greatest Hits Tour.
I was mind blown when I first saw the band live just a few months ago in Birmingham and couldn’t wait to see them again. Tonight, the show was kicked off straight away with one of my favourite songs: Bad Boys. David Coverdale swing the mic stand around and treated us with some screams.
The bad sounded tight and rocked hard. Slide It In and Love Ain’t No Stranger kept the hits going before what felt for me a deeper cut with The Deeper the Love. I honestly am not as familiar with the Slip of the Tongue album, but the song was great and fitted perfectly in the set. Fool for Your Loving and Ain’t No Love in the Heart of the City brought a more bluesy side to the hard rocking set.
Tonight was once again an incredible performance by David Coverdale and his band! A true rock masterclass with a special bonus of seeing Adrian van den Berg live.
