I have to take my hats off to Tommy Aldridge, the guy is like 72 years old and keeps hitting those drums like a beast, the guy is like a drum machine, but David’s voice is shot, he can’t sing the high notes anymore…
He's old but he still puts forth a strong effort. At least he still sounds like David Coverdale and his voice hasn't completely flattened and lost its tone.
I first saw Coverdale in 1990, first saw Vai in 1986 and first saw Tommy Aldridge in 1984. It's incredible that they're all still doing it live. Good for them.
I was there. A very emotional moment at the time...and in retrospect too because it could have been Whitesnake's last concert (I hope not, for the Americans), now the tour is cancelled. Imagine that it was followed by Helloween. The best 2 hours and a half of my live experience.
Absolutely. Pretty sure he eats an extremely healthy clean diet to have that kind of energy and longevity. Pretty sure you'll never find him at a McDonalds, etc.
The best guitar player we will ever see in our lives? Have you heard of Eddie Van Halen Jimi Hendrix Jimmy Page Eric Clapton or Stevie Ray Vaughan? Not to mention Joe Satriani who taught Steve Vai.
@@koolkitties8552 yeah the satch is my dude. But its like a good chef. There are many great chefs who specialize in differnt areas. And all their food is good. Thats my comparison at least. And your list is pretty spot on. 🤘
Sykes was the man. Unsung hero, him. Incredible how under appreciated he is! Heck I am 56 and was an 80’s metal head and just learned it was Sykes on those great WS tunes just 5-6 years ago. Thought it was Vivian and Vandenberg.
@@DontLetTheOldManIn Sykes is not under-appreciated. Whitesnake fans do appreciate him quite a lot. He’s the best guitarist and songwriter the band has ever had.
He's also in another band along with Joel Hoekstra, Marco Mendoza, Nathan James and Michael Sweet called "Iconic." They just released their debut album less than 3 weeks ago.
Wow what a great surprise to see Steve Vai onstage again with David! Love the Slip of the Tongue album with Vai on guitar. "Deeper the Love" is one of his best solos!
wow...awesome, legendary band of 80's....and they all still have super full heads of hair like they did when they were 30!!! long live R n'R, keep the faith alive 🤘🎸
@Petercross yes a recording. Coverdale made that too obvious by singing on the background track. sort of takes away from the Whitesnake legendary vocals.
"and don't let anybody make you afraid". Coverdale thou voiceless just said the most meaningful thing in his life in the worst moment since '45. Thank you David again and not only for your amazing music.
Really a lot of disappointing comments here re: vocals, Coverdale In his prime was a god among men has nothing to prove to anybody! Be glad he's still here w/ a great band giving us a final farewell.
Супер все вместе вся команда Вайтснейк отработали на высочайшем уровне все музыканты все составы Вайтснейк это легенды с большой буквы как и сам Девид Ковердейл это просто космос Спасибо вам за все время когда вы творили и творите чудеса супер музыки. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏💥💥💥💥💥💥💥👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Esses caras deveriam ser eternos... mesmo tempo que é magnífico ver os caras metendo ficha até hoje, doi saber que vão se aposentar e aos poucos nos deixar. Mas o legado será eterno !!!
true musicians and at this age it just shows ya what they are made of,, singing like this in yer 70's is damm near impossible, Vai well he is amazing as always
Esto es grosoooo artistas brillantes y David siempre tan alegre y animoso aun en adultes se desliza en escenario como joven que grandeees inolvidables amo su musica gracias Sonia Guerrero desde Argentina💝👏🙋🙋
Whitesnake have been going for around forty five years with over forty different members of the band, Everyone must have a favourite line up , with Coverdale being the only original member. Good to see him still giving it a go but time catches up with all of us.
@@thedigitalemotion I like a lot of Guitar players,, Gary Holt,Kai Hansen,Slash,Chris Holmes,,,an lots more,, But John Sykes,, just is something Special,, 👌

Tocan en el HellFest franchute, pero en Cartagena dijeron que estaban enfermitos...gracias Coverdale por tu amor a España, por aquí no se te ocurra volver y menos con 80 años, carcamal...
I'm happy I seen whitesnake 5 years ago. Dave's voice is on its last leg. Would love to have seen the old tour with motly crue and whitesnake in the 80s. But I was only born in 84.
EPIC! Seeing Coverdale, Vai and Aldridge together in 2022 is priceless.
Yeaaaaaahh 🤘🏻🔥🤘🏻🔥
True I thought same!!
I saw them in 1990 at Donington.
@@156alfaro I saw them 1990 in Stocckholm/Sweden. 32 years ?!! Jeez...
@@mikemischievous2091 Sure it was one of the best concert ever
Man, Tommy is still a beast on drums. He always puts on a great show.
Awesome drummer
Hes a legend
He's an underrated drummer
YES!! TOMMY RULES!!
Absolutely Tommy is the best drummer 🥁✌️
I have to take my hats off to Tommy Aldridge, the guy is like 72 years old and keeps hitting those drums like a beast, the guy is like a drum machine, but David’s voice is shot, he can’t sing the high notes anymore…
and he is smiling like nothing has happened, just another cup of tea.
Yeah it happens.
Get it old.....but let's rock
My only comment other than the band is great, is Tommy Aldridge is just monstrous. Still kicking ass for a whole concert, right up to the last note.
He's old but he still puts forth a strong effort. At least he still sounds like David Coverdale and his voice hasn't completely flattened and lost its tone.

Tommy Aldridge is a MACHINE still, despite being approximately 350 years old
He's not just a drummer, he's a drumurderer! Even at his age, he's still gotta be one of the hardest hitting drummers I know of.
You just don't get that good in one mortal lifelime.
What’s crazy is both Coverdale and Tommy played at the 1974 Cal Jam. David with Purple obviously, and Tommy with Black Oak Arkansas. So long ago!
Absolutely. Pretty sure he eats an extremely healthy clean diet to have that kind of energy and longevity. Pretty sure you'll never find him at a McDonalds, etc.
@@Fishin4funout4trout You can bet on that.
Steve Vai is a guitar god, I'm completely blown away by his playing he is hands down my favorite guitarist of all time
Ya here'n rumors that Vai or Satriani will join Alex, Sammy,David Lee and Anthony on for VH reunion tour!🙏❤️💯
He sounds horrible here.That”please don’t strangle the cat tone”.
@@peteyoung7665 when you're playing through someone else's rig ran into a pa it's not going to be you're sound, BTW are you as good as he is NOT !!!
What a star-studded lineup of the absolute very best! Wish I could've been there!🤘🌹🌍
not the biggest WS fan, but "Still Of The Night" is such a kick-ass song...... and with Steve Vai on guitar, what a great show 🤘🤘
Looked like Steve Vai was in tears at the end there. Probbably the best guitar player we will ever see in our lives. So good to see him happy.
Hes a fucking legend!

Genio !!.
Whitesnake is an amazing band. Such talent from past to present.
Joel Hoekstra and Vai together is a Dynamic Duo
Jesus...I just got emotional watching them take a bow. 🥲
They have still got it. Amazing with Steve Vai.
Yes Steve played it exactly the way he was taught, Dan Huff is the actual man behind this album.
Holy Christ!!! You can FEEL this right through… 👍🏻😎👍🏻
Can’t believe it’s been 24 years since I saw Coverdale live… and 27 years when I first went to the Vai’s concert… wow… I’m old as well
Que bom ver o Steve vai aldrige e Coverdale Juntos até aqui , que lindo isso e como eu amo o rock n roll 🤘🏻🔥❤️
Eles estavam bem emocionados é nitido!!!
Genio !!.
This show rocked,very talented guitars,but I saw the original WhiteSnake with John Sykes and they blew me away! Goodbye old rockers!
"The original WhiteSnake with John Sykes?" That's a joke? Have you ever listened to Whitesnake with Bernie Mardsen and Micky Moody?
Sykes was the man. Unsung hero, him. Incredible how under appreciated he is! Heck I am 56 and was an 80’s metal head and just learned it was Sykes on those great WS tunes just 5-6 years ago. Thought it was Vivian and Vandenberg.
@@DontLetTheOldManIn Sykes is not under-appreciated. Whitesnake fans do appreciate him quite a lot. He’s the best guitarist and songwriter the band has ever had.
@@Fifipurple That’s the original guitar line up indeed. But Sykes put the band with his songwriting skills and playing to another level.
@@Stargazer-px7fw Ok so it was just me who did not know of his existence until way late.
VAI is amazeballz and Tommy is KILLIN them drums!
Aldridge still killing it, wow
Awesome! And, Tommy Aldridge still bangs the drums as good as ever!
He's also in another band along with Joel Hoekstra, Marco Mendoza, Nathan James and Michael Sweet called "Iconic." They just released their debut album less than 3 weeks ago.
@@wolfgang548 Ohh, thanks. I’ll have to check it out.
@@LorenScott69 If you like 80s style rock, you'll like this band.
@@wolfgang548 I was an 80’s rock star (of sorts). So… sounds like my genre! :)
Joel Hoekstra is incredible and his genius magic is always cool. 😊
Saw Steve in Stockholm last week. Got my guitar signed and had some pictures taken. Epic experience 😎
steve vai a fckn monster... what a legend!!!
Gotta say, hellfest had an amazing line up!
Wow what a great surprise to see Steve Vai onstage again with David! Love the Slip of the Tongue album with Vai on guitar. "Deeper the Love" is one of his best solos!
Kittens Got Claws does it for me. Love the guitar work on that one!
Agreed! That is an amazing solo!
Don’t forget Adrian Vandenberg helped a lot before Vai came around! David asked him for years to join them..
David has gotten soft I. His old age and stopped the tour because of the attack on the world that just keeps on giving!!
Tommy Aldridge just fantastic. Fitness wise he run rings round drummers half his age. Incredible!
Steve Vai rocks.....one of my fave Top 10 guitarists & Rock Gods!!!!
GOD Bless You 🎸🎸🎸
Aldridge is 71 and playing drums like he's 17 !!! What ever he is taking I'll take it too!
and still looks like he's 50 🤣👏👏
Glad to see them reunited. Coverdale's voice had a good run. Can't do it like he did all these years without an expiration date.
Oh 80s please return, I miss you so! 😢
1:43 the moment you realize that you're among the best! Whitesnake and then Helloween!!! that's just perfect! plain perfect.
thanks for the video!
Helloween one of the greatest of all time
wow...awesome, legendary band of 80's....and they all still have super full heads of hair like they did when they were 30!!! long live R n'R, keep the faith alive 🤘🎸
Genio !!.
Thank you so much for upload, this is super beautiful moment! What a reunion..!🤩🤟👍🥹
Tommy fucking Aldridge …. amazing!
That Drummer ! No ravages of time with this guy !!!!!!
Who would think back in 1987 that in 2022 this would be real..Coverdale, Vai and Aldridge on the same stage...happy days!!
How fun, first time seeing this footage! Thanks for capturing this, what a blast we had!
I'm so glad that Whitesnake are still around!
Whitesnake is a great band, Vai is a monster. But, it's sad to see Coverdale almost voiceless.
That's why it's his last tour with the band
@@poraorockproducoes,
Dang. That sucks, too.
@Petercross yes a recording. Coverdale made that too obvious by singing on the background track. sort of takes away from the Whitesnake legendary vocals.
That was absolutely horrible.
I believe that's why he has Dino Jelusick on backing vocals.
Wow!, I mean, just, WOW!
"and don't let anybody make you afraid". Coverdale thou voiceless just said the most meaningful thing in his life in the worst moment since '45. Thank you David again and not only for your amazing music.
Exactly…I noticed that too. He’s calling in the BS as well.
Omg that must have been awesome too have been there!
I have always loved Vai. But I never thought he was remotely right for this band. This solidifies it for me. Probably just my problem….
What an epic moment in music!!!!
Damn what a nice moment to witness.
Killer, thanks for uploading, I especially liked Dave saying don’t let anyone make you afraid. This Covid fear has to end
Whitesnake with Steve Via was THE first concert I ever back in '89!!! Good Times!!
80's coming back....cheers🔥
we are waiting for them in Bulgariaaa !!! will be a killer festival
I hope everyone is better to make the September date in Houston TX!! What an amazing band.
That last embrace between Steve and Tommy.. 😍
Really a lot of disappointing comments here re: vocals, Coverdale In his prime was a god among men has nothing to prove to anybody! Be glad he's still here w/ a great band giving us a final farewell.
Love the music but he was pitchy. Truth
Agree. Whitesnake now sounds much better than guns n roses. Yet they are a bigger band? Musicianship is superior with these guys.
My favourite album of Whitesnake is where Steve Vai recorded guitar lines. Symbiosis of my favourite singer and favourite guitarist)
I think Steve had an even better match with DLR; they were a bit more adventurous in that band.
From CUBA.
For me, WHITESNAKE, the band who since a long time ago and actually better represent the very best of the real Hard Rock.
Absolutely brilliant. Steve is just greatness
Questi sono i veri maestri del hard rock, fantastici. long live rock & roll
Vocals are a little bit pitchy but good to see David out there the music rocks on

@@FuncKeR He's singing live, but there's a backing track or a backing singer doing the same vocal lines, and when Coverdale stops it's very obvious.
Goosebumps 👌🤘
Holy freaking bass player, she kills the outro which everyone on the planet misses. Bravo.
Us Rock n Rollers from 70's can still rock hard?💯Just slowing a bit with the roll!!🤣👍🙏💯
Wow!!!! Increíble!!!!

I saw Whitesnake back in the day and I can still see Tommy Aldridge playing his solo with no sticks.
Michele Luppi(backing vocals/keyboards) so loud and clear, pleasure to hear :) Oh well yeah ofc Steve Vai!!! \m/
I think that most of the backing bocals you hear is Dino
@@tzvonar oh, i see! Dino has great voice indeed. Maybe the mix tricked me
All I can say is. . . WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
Hellfest was insane this year!!!! \m/
Tommy is a Machine
His royal highness, ladies and gentlemen, mr Steven Vai!
