Criminally underrated band, and this performance is proof. They were much more than a couple of music videos and a terrible nightclub tragedy. This band had talent top to bottom, and it is a damn shame that they didn't get the credit they deserved. That cover of "Since I've Been Loving You" was 10/10 and "Rock Me" (which should be considered one of the great rock songs of all time) at the end was flawless...
I totally agree with you. I think at least part of it was they weren't considered typical "pretty boys" like guys like Jon Bon Jovi, etc which was a big part of the image back then; probably looks even more than talent. Mark Kendall was up there on par with Jake E. Lee, Warren DeMartini,, George Lynch, etc. in my opinion.
Their MTV Unplugged (1990) cover of Babe I'm Gonna Leave You was incredible too. ua-cam.com/video/uAerqUwADe8/v-deo.html I'm sure if you're a fan, you know they put out a whole album of Zeppelin covers.
@@bth9318 Mark definitely had a great sound that was different than any of those. If you listen to Once Bitten on a decent sound system, his sound is amazing. Of course, the album was mixed insanely well too.
Fuck, that version of Rock Me is so awesome , its impossible to not get swept away with it! For all the difficulties Great White endured, they really had their shit together when it mattered to them. That was an Outstanding performance!
Right HEAR BROTHER THIS band really is UNDERRATED man great guitar arrangements and super killer dynamics that's things very few bands know NUTHING about thay write great SONGS every number ROCKS TO THE BONE WHEN A TOUR I WAS ON FLORIDA WAS THE LAST SHOW THE BAND LIVED THERE I WAS FROM CALIFORNIA A TEMPORARY FILL IN I LOVE FLORIDA SO MUCH I STAYED ALL THE DANCERS LOVE GREAT WHITE GREAT MEMORIES PEOPLE LOVE GREAT ROCK THIS BAND IS THE STUFF I LEARNED SO MANY GW SONGS nobody knows em in Chicago this place is not for me KEEP IT TOGETHER GREAT WHITE
Jack Russel! Absolutely flawless and phenomenal! Only a very few, and I mean mighty few, could compete with him. At this point in their career, I believe he was the total package. My first concert was Great white and Tesla, 88' Louisville Kentucky. I'll never forget it. dont want to end my opinion without acknowledging the masters degree level of artistic talent these guys posses. Together as a whole, they are a driving force.

Once in a lifetime experience to witness a LIVE performance of this magnitude. Hats off to all!!! the Band, guitar/bass/drum techs, on point sound crew (wow!), lighting techs, roadies... ABSOLUTE EXCELLENCE! The world was a better place with absolute Rock n Roll.
but today we dont had real Rock n Roll,only fast and agressive music with guys they look like the fucking New Kids on the block,but no like every rocker from the 80s or early early 90s
I knew Jack in the 70s....picked him up hitch hiking on the 605 freeway....knew he was just like me...he taught me how to play piano...im a guitarist....
1988....ahhhhh.....great years for metal./hard rock. I bought lots of albums. I saw great GREAT WHITE at the Monsters of Rock in Germany...Schwienfurt, while stationed in the Army there.
One of the best bands of that era..that got a horrible rap after the Fire... Unfair to black list them after that tragedy...Everyone suffered that day...even the band!!! But i still listen to Great White...how can you not!!!
Man your so right the amount of talent in this band is as good as anyone! Most underrated band ever i would stack them up with any band so damn good on record and live!
I saw Great White at the Fox Theater in Atlanta (I was an usher)when they did a double header with Tesla Great White was the second band to play and to be honest I wasn't aware of really who they were until I heard all of the hits that played that night The very next day I went and got both of the CDs Once Bitten & Twice Shy and was excited to have been enlightened to have discovered a "new to me" Great band with great songs & albums that could perform them all live so perfectly! Then I got the greatest hits album and discovered their song "Old Rose Motel" These guys guys could Rock as.good and or better than most of the best I've ever seen live and remain.one of my favorite bands of all time! Rock Me!!!!!
Without doubt one of the greatest rock shows ever recorded. Jack makes you feel the music and not just hear it. His voice is as good today as it ever was. Lookin' forward to the next time I see them.
Saw these guys and Tesla in Seattle 1988..some guy in the seats set off a Roman candle and JR is like “somebody get that guy he’s gonna burn is all down…”. Foreshadowing for sure.
Interview at a pinball hall, love it. Big fan of this 80's band for sure. Many top hits. "Once Bitten"..awesome. This show is awesome too, Kendall rips. You can bang your head to Great White, even the slower hits like "Is there anybody there"!
Audie Desbrow , you are such a beast and artful drummer. Thank you for all of your air drum fills you have inspired the world over man!!! Your drumming is never boring and always just so much fun to (try) and play!
So Good. Used to crank these song on my Walkman as I went to sleep on a typical school night as a kid. Still cranking the same tunes and still loving every note.😎👍 Great Vid.
This band was amazing talent! Every time I saw them in the 80’s they sounded great live. They opened for Dokken on Under Lock n key and blew them right off the stage.
Guns n Roses Initially were supposed to be the opening act at the Ritz and Great White were to headline that night. Both bands were managed by “Alan Nevins”. Mr. Nevins made a deal with MTV to Televise the headlining act which was supposed to be “Great White”. At that time MTV was playing GnR’s music video “Welcome to the Jungle” in heavy rotation and Guns N’ Roses we’re heading up the billboard charts fast. At the last minute before the show Alan Nevins talked to “Great White” and told them to open the show and that Guns N’ Roses were headlining. A quote form Alan Nevins to Great White was “do you guys really want to follow Guns N’ Roses!!
I was at this show... That indeed my be true, but I also know after being backstage about 20 minutes before the start of the show, 2 members of GNR were, well let's say "taking a nap"... So the DJ and the manager of the bar were all pissed about something, and I could hear them saying that these 2 guys could not be stirred in the dressing rooms... Great white went on stage and rocked. GNR were 45 mins late getting to the stage, and they were not at their best... peace...jlg
@@jakelaguna2278 you know you’re probably right. There’s always two stories. What really happened and then the press release version of what happened...
W.t.f. g&r were not that great.and Allen was not so smart. G.w. could blow g.r.any old time .just listen. Never could stand g.r. they were always drunk.
The manager’s name is Alan Niven. This is the night that GnR basically took over MTV. It was a combo of this show and the release of Sweet Child O’ Mine as a single. Both these things catapulted them to super stardom.
YES THEY WERE THIS GOOD LIVE WITH OUT ELECTRONICS FIXING ALL THE SOUR NOTES TIMING BOO BOOS ETC. YES I DO SPEAK FROM EXPERIENCE AS I RAN SOUND BOARDS FOR 26 YEARS. SAW THEM LIVE. BEST LIVE PERFORMANCE I EVER SAW. TOO BAD IT ALL WENT DOWNHILL WHEN THE DRUGS BOOZE AND THE HORRIBLE FIRE RUINED IT ALL.😢
They were so good. Their Zeppelin covers are better than Zeppelin, their kick ass songs kicked ass and their ballads were works of art. Mark Kendall playing hard electric bluesy rock with so many great riffs. Somehow allot of people never got into them, I used to play Rock Me every morning for my Get Up outta bed and go to work song... Maybe 7 or ,8 years. Psycho City was a great album.
wow i remember seeing this on MTV back in the day, and taped it on vhs.......no idea where that is, but good memories. still just as awesome today as it was back then
I wound up with a bootleg of this show many years ago - so very nice to SEE the show as well as just listen to it. Really one of my favorite bands of them all. And Jack Russell's Great White is surprisingly fun to listen to as well. Can't wait for their new release.
Mark kendall has always Mezmerized me.... Many a times jamin along with.my tennis raquet in hand playing just like him Then theres jack russell Who blows me away with his incinbiary explosive voice.. The whole Band in whole Totally Awesome....... My privalidge to see theze guyz in the 90s was a real treat. Fosho........
I heard back in the day that Robert Plant said "Jack Russell sounds more like me.than I do" Clearly Plant was an inspiration to JR but I actually think JR sings better! Don't shoot me as that's just my honest opinion!
This band had the SOUND!!! Smooth and clean on top with all that crunch & low end underneath, Great White blew away all of that other garbage 80s production with the bass guitar buried in the mix!!!🤘
2024 my friends! Still loving Great White!

Spot on with your comment. I saw them live twice and they were excellent.
Ladies and gentleman one of the GREATEST Rock bands of ALL TIME!!!!!!!
most underrated Rock voice, he is just the BEST
They definitely got overshadowed in their prime, which is unfortunate
My utmost respect for Mr. Jack Russell one of the most underrated white blues rock singer
Underrated Band. They play live, no backing tracks. ❤
Damn, perfect guitar tone!!
Those Marshall’s are just ripping !!
By far the most under-rated band of the 80's-early 90's!
Damn right
The correct answer is Enuff Z'Nuff.
@@GT-1902 the live songs sound better than the records
@@FlashBastard1964 enuff znuff was overrated.
Underrated? Obviously, you weren't around at this time.
man that BC Rich guitar sounds awesome, bite and crunch so unique
Fuck, that version of Rock Me is so awesome , its impossible to not get swept away with it!
For all the difficulties Great White endured, they really had their shit together when it mattered to them. That was an Outstanding performance!
Only 10k views for this legendary masterpiece of a show gotta be kidding where my rockers at?
GW were very good. Wish Mutt Lange could have produced one album for them.
Awsome
I'm here
most of ur rockers are dead

first time seeing GW and Tesla...same tour as mentioned by Gregory, and in Minnesota, we had the same feelings, excellent show!!
He's the only singer that I have EVER seen perform in person who can perfectly replicate his studio vocals on the stage! Truly amazing!!! 🤘

Nice to see them perform "What Do You Do?" live as that's one of their more underrated songs IMO.

@@jacksonteller3973 really bro???
Jack is-was such an amazing singer...really...really talented.
Indeed!
This is pure rock from 80s great band
He reminds of Dave King/Robert Plant.
Definitely Great White and XYZ
That "Since I"ve Been Lovin' You" really shows the range of his voice.
I was broke in the 80’s and I’m still broke now lol wished I could have seen these guys in concert back then....what an awesome 80’s.
I saw them open for Judas Priest. "Defendants of the Faith" tour. Have to check my stubs for date of.
The opened for whitesnake and I saw them twice. Great live band!!
Once in a lifetime experience to witness a LIVE performance of this magnitude. Hats off to all!!! the Band, guitar/bass/drum techs, on point sound crew (wow!), lighting techs, roadies... ABSOLUTE EXCELLENCE!

Who am I still listening too in 2021 not G'n'R lol
I don’t know…..
GnR kick ass!
Great White is the best hard rock band in the world.
I knew Jack in the 70s....picked him up hitch hiking on the 605 freeway....knew he was just like me...he taught me how to play piano...im a guitarist....
1988....ahhhhh.....great years for metal./hard rock. I bought lots of albums. I saw great GREAT WHITE at the Monsters of Rock in Germany...Schwienfurt, while stationed in the Army there.
Jack and Mark made this band....Simply some of the best at this time in their career...
One of the best bands of that era..that got a horrible rap after the Fire...
Unfair to black list them after that tragedy...Everyone suffered that day...even the band!!!
But i still listen to Great White...how can you not!!!
Quite possibly the greatest band of the 80’s.
It’s amazing how many people have never heard of them. Love their stuff.
@@tiestofalljays there is reason why.... and this show they were opening for a tiny little band called GnR. This is that infamous show at the Ritz.
Man your so right the amount of talent in this band is as good as anyone! Most underrated band ever i would stack them up with any band so damn good on record and live!
@@leland5150 cool
couldnt agree more...
I'm a long time Zeppelin fan and I just remembered this is the best version of Since I've Been Loving you ever.
I saw Great White at the Fox Theater in Atlanta (I was an usher)when they did a double header with Tesla
Great White was the second band to play and to be honest I wasn't aware of really who they were until I heard all of the hits that played that night

It's good hearing kendall talk and everyone for that matter, hell of a great band
OMG what a voice...
Mark Kendall is badass!
OMG I MISS THE 80'S PLEASE COME BACK THIS IS THE REAL DEAL HERE I LOVE IT..YES PLEASE.....
Saw these guys and Tesla in Seattle 1988..some guy in the seats set off a Roman candle and JR is like “somebody get that guy he’s gonna burn is all down…”. Foreshadowing for sure.
Saw them open for Alice Cooper in Sweden back in 88 or 89. Loved them before that show, and even more so after the show - such a great live band!
Loved this band love them still ♥️
Wow so powerful awesome band!
I love this band so much!!!
Audie, Mark, Jack and Michael will only be the best GW! RIP Lorne!!
Interview at a pinball hall, love it. Big fan of this 80's band for sure. Many top hits. "Once Bitten"..awesome. This show is awesome too, Kendall rips. You can bang your head to Great White, even the slower hits like "Is there anybody there"!
Great voice, a band 1000 ways better than poison or motley crue
1,000,000x better.
Jack Russel is the baddest dude on the planet!!!
What a band! i saw them a few times. once on March 25, 1991 with Steelheart and Bulletboys
Audie Desbrow , you are such a beast and artful drummer. Thank you for all of your air drum fills you have inspired the world over man!!! Your drumming is never boring and always just so much fun to (try) and play!
So Good. Used to crank these song on my Walkman as I went to sleep on a typical school night as a kid. Still cranking the same tunes and still loving every note.😎👍 Great Vid.
Got to spend time with these guys when I've photographed a few shows recently,super great guys and a blast to be around.
damn it's non-stop punch after punch, not a dull moment 🔥
I saw GW about 6 or 7 times through the 80s and 90s and they always sound amazing 💀🤘
'saw'
All over now one of my favorite songs
Great White Band!! i wil always love the soud of the eigthies hardrock bands..... like this!
I totally had this on VHS!!!
Well, not exactly... But i had a VHS with some of this and some other stuff?
SERIOUSLY WISH THIS RECORDING WAS LOUDER !!!
My PC system just won't give me the Volume - THEY DESERVE !!!
Love this band..Good sound and bad ass guys giving their BEST when It comes to rock the crowd..
The surely still do !!
This band was amazing talent! Every time I saw them in the 80’s they sounded great live. They opened for Dokken on Under Lock n key and blew them right off the stage.
my dad said the same thing!!
Hell yeah I bet they did
I Love Dokken/ Lynch, but every time I saw them live they had tech problems
& guns n roses on this night
Soooo... underrated
This band changed my whole life
I wish they would have sung “Never Change Heart.” An underrated song by an underrated band. Great White is one of my all-time favorite bands.
This is pure rock they are awesome

The same song each day for 7 years? That would drive me nuts after two weeks no matter how great a song is.
Jack is an incredible singer songwriter and he's definitely one of a kind
I saw them in 88 with Whitesnake
Me too.. At the Spectrum in Philly!
Me to in New Orleans
Absolutely amazing!!! Long Live Rock’n Roll …Long Live Great White!!
No Way ! Aussie Rock ! Face the day ! Angels ! Lovit ! X
a great band of all times.
I had the VHS of this 🤘🎸🥁
Remember on MTV, good show
I love Great White. F....n' A!
wow i remember seeing this on MTV back in the day, and taped it on vhs.......no idea where that is, but good memories. still just as awesome today as it was back then
OUTSTANDING
This band is FIRE!!!!!
I was hooked when I first heard “Street Killer” then it was “Face the Day” over and over and over, etc….
I wound up with a bootleg of this show many years ago - so very nice to SEE the show as well as just listen to it. Really one of my favorite bands of them all. And Jack Russell's Great White is surprisingly fun to listen to as well. Can't wait for their new release.
Awesome
I saw them live at least 4-5 times. They opened for all the huge acts.
Brilliant job on since been loving you ! wasnt expecting that ! Awesome! X

THE HAIR UNDER THE ARMS AT 33:38 !!! OUT OF THIS WORLD
😂
I saw them in '95. They sang like angels, particularly on Sail Away. Played like the devil though.
one of my favorites.
The sandwich shoving at 5:10 is pretty impressive; bravo Audie!
I enjoy it to the fullest
Fucking shame what became of this band..maybe the best band ive ever seen live..twice..closest to he album over most bands
You’ve only been to 2 concerts?
@Carnalite119 you’ve right
Dude the guitar sound at 39:40 is insane! I wonder what gear he was using back then other than Marshall amps
10 years of perseverance and it finally paid off
Since I’ve been loving you 👍
Dope
Totally bad ass band
Ah thanxs much...
Really dude's voice is like Robert Plant's . 👌🍷🍾🍷🍾🇺🇦 .

"Jack Russell sounds more like me.than I do"
Clearly Plant was an inspiration to JR but I actually think JR sings better!
Don't shoot me as that's just my honest opinion!
singer from the short lived band kingdom come also sounded so much like robert plant
far better
@@richardchristensen1768 youre absolutely Right🤘🦈🍻🍻
@@nwojason Yep, and then there’s Gretta Van Fleet’s singer, who I think sounds the closes to Robert Plant.
