\u201cIt\u2019s a tribute. A homage. It\u2019s a huge thank you from me to Deep Purple for the opportunity I was given over 40 years ago,\u201d state\u2019s Coverdale. \u201cAs I said to Ritchie, you guys set me on an incredible journey that continues today and I couldn\u2019t have asked for better teachers. The University of Deep Purple was an extraordinary, amazing school to learn from. We can\u2019t wait to play these songs in concert!\u201d<\/p>\n
From the opening notes of the classic track \u201cBurn\u201d, to album closer \u201cStormbringer\u201d, Whitesnake are back and better than ever. Songs like \u201cLady Double Dealer\u201d, \u201cSoldier of Fortune\u201d and \u201cSail Away\u201d are given a new energy in the very capable hands of the current Whitesnake lineup featuring David Coverdale on vocals, Reb Beach and Joel Hoekstra on guitars, Michael Devin on bass and Tommy Aldridge on drums.<\/p>\n
