As for the tour, I was at the Liverpool show. I thought Thunder rocked, if Danny did get a bit panto with the singalongs. I guess that's good in a support slot, right? Anyway, I love 'em and thought they went down well with the crowd. Looking forward to the headline tour in November.
David Coverdale did a cracking job of mimnig while the guy on the keyboards did most of the singing. Also from where I was standing on the sounddesk I could see when the pre-recorded vocals were phased in and out. I remember when Whitsnake rocked, and up until 3/4 years ago, DC could still hold his own. I'm afraid once you need the pre-records it's time to hang up your boots.
Despite Joe Elliots voice being weaker than it used to be I didn't think it was that detrimental to the show. I thought most of their set rocked and enjoyed reliving my youth. Not convinced I'd go and seethem again though.
All in all, wasn't bad for 3 classic rock bands for £40.  |
I saw Whitesnake in 2003 and was very impressed as were most people at the time. He was working hard and the band as a whole was pretty much on fire. It was my 2nd time seeing Coverdale, the first being on the Slip of the Tongue tour back in 1990....a not so memorable moment (it was boring.) There didnt' seem to be any hijinks going on, but touring was fresh for him at the time.
I guess things have changed since 2003. The last time I saw them was in 2006, but my hearing blew out on me during that show halfway through "Burn."
