    The best thing about being in our age group is seeing everyone live . I've seen everyone from Janis Joplin when I was 14years old Clapton and Rush both several times to Skynyrd the list is endless. I've never had the opportunity to see Whitesnake and I have to say David Coverdale is my all time favorite and I hope I get the chance to see them before he stops touring. Yes whenever I feel like damn it getting old sucks I just remember all of the wonderful times and people in my life and it's worth getting older.

Glorious show! Opening acts were Nazareth, Elf and J. Geils Band. Only the biggest of the big ever played the Astrodome. The Stones, Elvis and Purple.

      John got himself fired during the sessions for 1987.
      He tried to get David fired from David's band, though John now denies that.
      But the rest of the band backed John, instead of David, who was out with a sinus infection.
      David felt the band was basically mutinying against him, so he sacked them all.
      Just in case anyone wasn't sure that Whitesnake was David's band.
      He does that a lot.
      It was funny that the version of the band in those famous 80s videos wasn't the one that actually recorded the songs.
      But that's where John is.

      @@toddvandell85 yeah I remember at the time I was upset because Sykes was gone BUT, I was Jacked because Vivian was back on the scene and Adrian of course who I thought was a cool player but I didn’t really dig His band too much. AND I thought it was cool that it took 2 killer guitar players to equal 1 John Sykes lol

      @@toddvandell85 LOL What. crock of shit! Coverdale was famous for firing ALL band members and keeping the money. You really need to sort your musical history out pal because the real reason was he was jealous of Syke's looks and raw talent (which is quite obviously leaps and bounds above Coverdales). Sykes was the reason Whitesnake hit the big time, he co-wrote that album and it went platinum and they haven't had anywhere near the success of that album since. It's no secret in our industry that Coverdale already reached out to Sykes more than once to get him back in the band but he refused - rightly so. "Tried to get David Fired" - what an absolute joke LOL!!
