I have mad respect for both of them. Axl is just a different style but saw him live in 2019 and he still has a kick ass voice ....he hasn't aged so well, but that is besides the point ! LOL Jack Russell's vocal talent was WAY Underrated in the 1980s. His story since then has been a bit tragic. I also saw him live in 2019. Glad he is still out there having a good time

[@javtimestwo]

Great White is a band I miss from the 80's era. Sad to see what has happened to the band members. With performances like these, it's a shame the original band cannot share the same stage. OUTSTANDING version here. I hope the band members watch this clip, read these comments and get inspired to reunite and treat the remaining fans to some great rock n roll.

[@FieldBlaser]

Thankfully this special moment in time was captured. Even with original members there will never be THIS Great White again.

[@Theshape1972]

AWESOME!!!!! GREATEST COVER EVER PERIOD..................................

[@larkraines9311]

I know I've already put a comment on here, concerning this video. I've come back to this soooo many times, and watched and listened. It really, really is, just absolutely incredible. This performance is both eye and ear candy, and is not only timeless, but flawless. Nothing, and I mean absolutely NOTHING, needs or could be improved on here. No disrespect to any of the Zeppelin boys, at all, but there is NO way they could have done this any better. I doubt whether they could have even matched it. Jack Russel and Mark Kendall are so in touch and in time with each other, as is the entire band. This just fukn blows me away, every time I watch and listen to it. This oughta have a billion views by now. Those who haven't experienced this clip yet, are truly missing out. These guys were in their heydey. What an incredible band. This lineup put out some of the best bluesy rocknroll ever made. One of my all-time favorites, without a doubt. It doesn't get any better than this. I wish there were more videos like this of them covering more Zeppelin tunes, during this time frame. Check out their acoustic version of "Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You"... Equally as mind-blowing. I salute you, Great White. I am forever grateful that you are a part of my life. Today's youth - take note. This is how REAL music is made. This shit on the radio they put out today is fukn GARBAGE. These guys are untouchable, and set a standard that any band would be proud to be compared to. Even Robert Plant admitted that this was better than they did it, and I agree. Jack Russell, like Lou Gramm back in the day, is one of the greatest vocalists ever. PERIOD. As an ex lead singer, I can attest to trying to hit some of the notes he can. Not to mention being on point, and just totally into the music. And he's not even straining, it just comes naturally to him. What a gift, man. He is definitely blessed. Same with Kendall and that axe he slays so beautifully and effortlessly. Just raw talent all the way around with this whole band. The drummer, bassist and keyboardist just jive with everything they do. Check out Psycho City, Once Bitten, and Twice Shy. All of their stuff is great, but those are must haves in any serious music lovers collection. What heart and soul, in everything they do.

[@susanoconnell7661]

I rewatch this multiple times every week still to this day!! I've seen Page and Plant live in 1995 and this performance surpasses them! ❤

[@JOHNNYJAMS08]

100% agree that Jack's cover of this song to me is much better then the original and that is coming from being a die-hard Zeppelin fan .

[@AlicevanGinkel]

My house exploded, what a great performance. I love this band!!!

[@aricc2354]

I was at this show 2/2/88. Great White was opening act for Guns N Roses when they were just starting to break out. Although I wasn't there to see Great White that night, I became an instant fan after hearing this cover. I think a lot of the crowd felt the same way. Wish they could cut the crap and get the real band back together as one.

[@Chaddard]

Damn. Amazing cover. What a voice!

[@robertblackwell5575]

Remember Jack calling into Q95 .Indy's Classic Rock station in the mid 90's..And they knew he could do this ..So they asked him Jack would you do a Zeppelin song. So he does ..What Is And What Should Never Be...Blew their minds..As a 58 yr old .. Enjoyed the hell out this🎙🎸🔥

Man, I've seen this soooo many times now, and it never gets old. A time capsule, a memory of when things were still all good. I was in my early 20s, and still ignorant to the wicked ways of the world. How I wish I didn't know now, what I didnt know then. I coulda stayed stuck in the 80s for a lifetime, and been just fine with it. Oh yeah, I love you guys, Great White. So many memories made possible, thanks to you!

I have been a fan of this band since the recovery days... I have saw them live about 20 times over the past 30 years... I was blessed to see them in their calling back in the late 80's @ the vogue in indpls with the bullet boyz opening for them. They played this, babe im gonna leave you, and when the levee breaks in their Zep set... They did these songs even better than some of their own live... I got to meet Jack and Mark that night. The band I was in at the time attended this show and we got back stage after their show. I have always thought they were so much better than the other 80's bands because they were/are so bluesy and were very good musicians... Not like the Poison, warrant, and many others in the 80's that jumped on motley crues run of things...

[@Victor_Kirau]

Accidentally stumbled upon this video. Best performance since Led Zeppelin! Vocalist "handsome"! The timbre of the voice is very similar to the unique timbre of Robert Plant. While maintaining the entire blues texture, the tragic "spirit" of the idea is preserved. The group has managed to maintain a certain "recklessness", "hooliganism", in the good sense of the word. Without excessive, refined "purity", without "white gloves". Super! If I came across this record only in the audio version, without video, and without the name of the band, then I (probably not only me) would most likely think that this is one of the options for a Led Zeppelin live concert. Live concerts never exactly repeat the studio performance. Various new "chips" at live concerts, this is an element of a restless creative nature, and this is the whole "relish" of live concerts. I listen many times. Such a "carpenter", so many "ambitions", in a good way. If I had heard this version earlier than Led Zeppelin, then I'm not sure whose performance of them I would like more ... Both are "handsome" in performance, but ... No, of course Led Zeppelin not only performed it incomparably, but they are also the authors of this incomparable blues, which is definitely "for all time". Led Zeppelin is without a doubt the pinnacle of rock and blues music. The melodiousness of Jimi Page's guitar improvisations and the timbre and interpretation of Robert Plant created a unique "song" that cannot be confused with anything else. Here I'm only talking about the performance, and only of this one song. Definitely this performance of "Great White - "Since I've Been Loving You" - The Ritz 1988" to my personal library! Случайно наткнулся на это видео. Лучшее выступление со времен Led Zeppelin! Вокалист "красавчик"! Тембр голоса очень похож на уникальный тембр Роберта Планта. При сохранении всей блюзовой фактуры сохраняется трагический «дух» идеи. Группе удалось сохранить некую «бесшабашность», «хулиганистость», в хорошем смысле этого слова. Без излишнего, "изысканного чистоплюйства", без «белых перчаток». Супер! Если бы мне попалась эта запись только аудио варианте, без видео, и без названия группы, то я (наверное и не только я), скорее всего, подумал бы, что это один из вариантов живого концерта Led Zeppelin. Живые концерты никогда точь-в точь не повторяют студийного исполнения. Различные новые "фишки" на живых концертах, это элемент неспокойной творческой натуры, и в этом весь "смак" живых концертов! Слушаю много раз. Такой "плотняк", столько "амбиций", в хорошем смысле. Если бы услышал этот вариант раньше чем Led Zeppelin, то я уже не уверен в том, чье исполнение из них мне бы больше понравилось... Оба "красавчики" в исполнении, но... Нет конечно Led Zeppelin не только бесподобно ее исполнили, но они еще и авторы этого бесподобного блюза, который безусловно "на все времена". Led Zeppelin без всяких сомнений это вершина музыки рок анд блюз. Мелодизм гитарных импровизаций Джими Пэйджа и тембр и трактовка Роберта Планта создали неповторимый "сонг", который нельзя спутать ни с чем. Здесь я говорю только об исполнении, и только этой одной песни. Однозначно это исполнение "Great White - "Since I've Been Loving You" - The Ritz 1988" в мою личную фонотеку!

When it comes to bluesy rocknroll, it just don't get any better than this, folks. Period. Bein a huge Great White fan, I'm gonna piss a few people off when I say that I personally like this better than the original, but that's just my opinion. Jack Russell and Mark Kendall were a killer combination. (Not taking anything away from the rest of the band, at all)... Check out all of the albums they did together. What a great catalog.. One of the best to own as a blues fan. LOVE these guys. I'd be ecstatic if they'd get back together and tour as the original band again. Jack Russell, like Sammy Hagar, has still got it after all these years. That's saying a lot for a lead singer at their age.
