R.I.P. Bernie, thanks for your passion. ❤

[@MiguelFlores-kn7qv]

Sin duda ❤

[@svartmetall]

This is how he should be remembered - rocking out and loving it.

[@SPkiller31]

R.I.P Bernie, always smiling and always bringing joy.

[@dejonnaissed1236]

The joy on Bernie's face is priceless. I was smiling throughout this :)

[@zayagilana8760]

This is unbelieveable. I was smiling throughout the whole thing too! So infectious. Best song.

So adorable 💓

[@tokyosmash]

If you had the pleasure of knowing him I don’t think he ever was without that smile

[@arnaudberrou2482]

Bernie died at the age of 72..... I knew the bands where he had played... For more than 40 years, Whitesnake among others.... My nightclub is full of people in the other world. And Bernie is now one of them. Great guitarist, and always smiling. Don't lose it fool your smile. and always play, where you are.

[@euanelliott3613]

As soon as I saw Bernie walk on the stage, part of my youth came back. RIP Jon Lord, Cozy Powell and Mel Galley. Good luck Bernie, Mickey Moody, Neil Murray and John Sykes.

[@philjones6054]

Dont forget Ian Paice.

[@euanelliott3613]

@@philjones6054 Yes he was also in Whitesnake, but I would argue that his fortunes have been greater than the others hence my omission of his name. The others were treated very badly by Coverdale.

[@philjones6054]

@@euanelliott3613 The original Whitesnake was a superb band , Lovehunter and Trouble being their best albums in my opinion. You are right that David Coverdale shat on the boys, preferring the big hair glam band Whitesnake became. To be honest, I stopped following them from then on. The last gig of theirs I saw was Donnington 90. I met Bernie Marsden at a gig back in the early nineties while he was touring with the Marsden Moody band, and found him to be a perfect gentleman. Go Bernie.

[@abohsukampret]

@@euanelliott3613 Paicey was also fired in 1982, wasn't he? David broke up the band, but would later invite Moody & Lord back.

[@euanelliott3613]

@@abohsukampret I have no knowledge of Ian Paice being fired from Whitesnake. I know that Coverdale was unhappy with Bernie and Micky swapping jokes behind his back onstage while he was singing Ain't No Love... I doubt David would have been unhappy with Paiceys drumming, perhaps they both wanted a fresh challenge and that's why they split. Mel Galley was supposed to be in the original lineup according to DC, and Neil Murray was fired for a year because he played with his fingers rather than a pick.

[@melissatyree566]

How cool is this. Bernie looks so happy and still plays like it was yesterday. Major props.

[@paulolsen6870]

Aldrich showed a ton of class by keeping his solo pretty tame. It fit the moment. 👍✌

[@cyjazz]

Who doesn’t love Whitesnake, a great ex-Marsden!

[@portcullis5622]

Well, apparently, Coverdale didn't in the mid-1980s when he fired the British blues-based band and cashed in by replacing them with American poseur musicians. I am sure he made a lot of dollars but lost a lot of loyal fans and credibility. Admittedly, even before then, the songs had already become weaker and the album and song titles more cringe-worthy.

[@cyjazz]

@1234tzimani Thank you man. I guess Bernie does not get the attention he deserves either!

[@jonselby1879]

one the best genuine guys not big headed just did his superb job RIP

[@stevenewcomer8837]

Without Bernie Marsden there most likely wouldn’t be the Whitesnake everyone knows today. Many of post 1986 Whitesnake’s biggest hits were re-recorded songs from pre 1986 Whitesnake and co-written by Bernie Marsden.

[@stege9979]

David knows that of course. But I think he genuinely loves Bernie. He cried like crazy when the news hit him.

[@stevenewcomer8837]

@@stege9979 I’m sure and I love the music that they made together. Coverdale was MY GUY when it came to Deep Purple because he was the singer when I started really listening to them. He will always be my all time favorite lead singer. He was also a great songwriter on his own. There was just some connection between David and Bernie that I feel made them BOTH better.

[@williamfullerton2866]

[@tokyosmash]

Miss you, Bernie, you truly were a wonderful friend and shall be missed.

[@angusorvid8840]

This is great. Bernie is a master of the British blues rock tradition. Sheer style and class. I remember when this became Whitesnake's first hit here in the States back in '80. The best Whitesnake work is those early albums up through the '87 album. Slide It In is probably the best overall.

[@scottanderson4175]

So good to see a smile on Bernie’s face !!! Much respect

[@rafaor2920]

OK, after nearly 40 years, I'm just discovering today that Bernie wrote and recorded this and Here I Go Again. I had no idea they were re-recorded for the later albums.

Doug is a pure class act!

[@nimba1966]

Class act Doug

[@eduardodipiero2653]

And he didnt make a fast solo either, showing respect for the older guy.

[@DreeQ]

For old school guitarists every note means something. They have fewer notes in their solos but they are anyway harder to play than the modern/80s shredding/showoffalltechniquesatonce solos. E.g. everyone can play Gilmours solos note by note but only Gilmour can play it with the correct feel. So yes it was good that Doug slowed down. Marsden is an amazing guitartist.

[@magistersteveperkins]

So excited to see Bernie walk onto that stage and just tear it up! Man, he can play!

[@kangtheconqueror]

It's great to see the genuine affection that Doug has for Bernie. And by the look on Bernie's face, he enjoyed being there. Wish I'd have seen it live.

[@MsKimbuck]

Who's Doug?

The mighty Doug Aldrich; the one in the waist coat playing the Les Paul. He's a true hard rock TITAN. ;)

The original and best snake axe man. We love you Bernie. I saw them at Wolverhampton on this tour and when Bernie came on I was so thrilled….but then a random stranger in front of me just passed out…..and I’m talking a complete fall ‘stiff back’ backwards like something out of an old Mack Sennett comedy and I spent the entire performance of Bernie’s on my knees trying to bring this guy around. Thankfully he was Ok, but I missed my chance of seeing Bernie with Whitesnake….it sounded great though. Thanks for posting this so I could see what I missed that night in the ‘year of the snake’.

There's only one Marsden it's what I grew up with hearing❤️ each guitarist of this band brought there own style to the group they each capture a Moement in time they all make up white snake 🐍. And with out any of them the sound wouldn't be the same. And for David well a voice that will reach the edges of time long after we are dust . One of the best rock groups ever .

Met Bernie Marsden at a Heineken music festival in Swansea, back in the very early 90s. What a great guy, and a real gent.

[@TheRatPack168]

0:30 One of the most touching moments of rock'n roll history to me, who lost my heart to the sound of theese two legends the very first time I heard them back in 1978. I was ten years old, and I knew instantly that this was music I'd be stuck with for the rest of my life. And I loved that thought:) I pray to god every night that they can sit down, have a beer and write some music again - and then go out and play it, as a stripped down Whitesnake-universe on smaller clubs - with Tommy Aldridge on drums. No drummer make Whitesnake sounds better than Tommy! Thank you for playing the soundtracks to my life David, Bernie and The Beast! It's a shame it couldn't be there that night! I guess it was out there somewhere on the road working for Joe Bonamassa. Bringing the snake legend on to new generations;) Thank you guys!

[@MrGibble64]

that sounds exactly like me , the first time i heard ACDC on Don Kirshners Rock concert on a saturday night hosted by douchbag Ted Nugent no less ! Had to be 78 or 79 , not sure . Nugent was a dick but chills went up my spine when Angus let er rip ! lol . Im interested in finding a copy of that show , could you imagine . . . dickweed GOP mouthpiece ted hosting first ACDC vids in North America ! Bon Scott was spot on and that lineup was at its peak . I ve heard rumours that Frank Zappa of all people had a influence before or after . Supposedly heard the band and let it be known to the powers that be this was gonna be huge . Man was a genius . Lets face it folks , the best ROCK band of ALL time , ACDC

[@TheRatPack168]

joe guirey I totally agree! I love Whitesnake, but the first time I saw AC/DC - back in 79 - I was totally lost. But..... AC/DC without Bon, and now Mal and Phil, isn't the band I fell for. But hey... they're still going strong, so absolutely - the best rock n'roll band of all time!!
