Whitesnake Live 1980

[@ritapinsent8766]

This was my favorite line up of Whitesnake. I know they had enormous success with other versions, but this band was more a Blues Rock Band than the Hair Pop Band it turned into. Nothing wrong with those versions but I loved this version of Whitesnake.

[@peteflynnPAF]

agreed

[@KimmeU]

"I live the life of an hoboe" got changed to "I live the life of an drifter" in the version the later versions Whitesnake sang gn the popular song "Here I Go Again".... 🎸🤘

[@mcarpegna]

How not to love a line up with such great guitarists and such monsters as Paice and Lord!

[@ThorBonloveng]

I agree. I saw them in Stockholm around this time. Great blues rock band. The kind of band they became was not my cup of tea.

[@Ahggie43]

Agreed, but Bernie was in this line-up as well as the "Herie IGo Again" lineup, go figure.

[@1402Angus]

What a Band. Every member at it's prime. By far the best version of Whitesnake and with this line up one of the best rockbands ever!

[@MigrantAssassinationSquad666]

Nope. The 1987 lineup is their best ❤❤

At the same time Blackmore and Glover were in Rainbow (that Donnington gig is great), and Ian Gillan was doing his own thing. And at the same time Dio was re-enervating Black Sabbath. What a time for English rock prior to the hair rock period.

[@maxreichert8050]

Great points!

Yeah, this is Whitesnake ! The Maestro on keyboards, the one and only Paicey on drums and Moody & Marsden, the guitar twins + the great Neil Murray. At last, this unbelievible voice of Coverdale. What a band 🤘

Best version of the snake imho, gritty, bluesy, and balls out. Marsden and Moody together were absolutely fantastic! You cannot say enough about Lord and Paicey and Murray is as good a bassist as you'll find. Solid line up.

[@BigPoppa-t3z]

I saw them in NYC when the song dropped MSG. Like the original kiss , this is the only true Whitesnake line up very hard bluesy after this he had greats with him. But this sound was gone forever

[@jibicusmaximus4827]

[@davidwinthrop7077]

Great solo players in Marsden, Moody & Lord backed by a tight rhythm section in Murray & Paice and fronted by pre poodle-rock Coverdale who still had a voice back then!

[@divinespark4842]

Ready And Willing was, is, and will always be WS's best ever album. A true masterpiece. From the opening song (Fool For Your Loving) to the very last (She's A Woman) it doesn't falter; total class. Consummate musicians at the top of their game. Old Cov's voice was one of the best and most soulful ever (love the early Free and Paul Rodgers influence in WS's slower songs such as Ain't Gonna Cry No More and Blind Man).

Totalmente de acuerdo Alejandro. Una verdadera banda de blues rock. Me pasa lo mismo con Foghat, Pat travers, Frank Marino, Robin trower, Blue Oyster Cult y un largo etc. Bandas genuinas, honestas y subestimadas. Lamentablemente la industria musical tiene tendencia a buscar pinturitas, uniforma la música y el estilo según moda y se pierde la esencia musical

I knew the Whitesnake UK albums before Coverdale made his US breakthrough. I was 8 years old and had an older brother. We were a European heritage family and I don’t know how I came across the band… I seem to remember the albums were available at A&B Sound on an import basis here in Vancouver Canada. I think that’s how I got them. That was before mass immigration and the rap music takeover. Now 1/2 the population doesn’t even speak English. How times have changed. No one would even know this music.

I have forgotten how good Whitesnake was. This incarnation is fantastic, and on par with Rainbow of the same vintage (see the 1980 Donington show). I last saw them in Sydney supporting The Scorpions a few years ago. They were not good - Coverdale had lost his voice and gained a lot of plastic surgery, whereas The Scorps were fantastic. Similar aged singers. I also saw them 10 years or so ago at the Enmore - still good - Coverdale still had a voice.
