I think it's idiotic for people to expect singers in their 60s and 70s to retain the range and elasticity of their 20s and 30s. I think he sounds fantastic in this performance. This dude has been performing for 50 years. Love him.

And actually , to make a precision point , he did pretty high stuff sin e Deep Purple , but in the Geffen era of WS , he actually went out of his register . His sinus operation was 1986 , and for 3 years he had a bit less gritty voice . But it back to it in 1991, and 1993 . Unfortunnally people still have that image of 1987 , and americans especially But this is not His real style . Also many complain about the updated gritt nowadays , its funny for this people to consider themselves hard rock fans and complain about agression . I don't get it , they say " his voice is shot ". Well he always sang like this , he is just Heavier with age . The 1978-1983/84 whitesnake was more Gritty and his register , more raw . With High here and there . Instead of Belting constantly high ii 1987-1989 . Also even nowadays , people have to think That he screams way above the average , considering his age , even 1step or Half step lower this is still Tricky to do . Try to sing verses and screams of Slow and easy as he did in 2016 . Now think about the original key ti think how monster he is and was . And David is a Deep Baritone . Some classical singers would say this is not normal that he would be able to hit notes like he does .

Really happy I got to see them this tour. Was my first hard rock/metal show. Went with my dad (long time Whitesnake fan) and it was fantastic.

Beth, I love the way you reviewed this. David Coverdale is one of the greats. You could have picked a video from his heyday, but you chose to venture into his more recent work, with all the weight of the years and the vocal excesses he's committed. In fanboards, usually that is a polarizing question - people love it or hate it. But you, lady, you managed to point out the problems with elegance and technique, while still showing why David is still one of the greats AND putting some admiration on top of it all. Your first video on my timeline was with Ian Gillan, another of my all-time faves, and I learned a lot about his singing and writing style from you. You picked a video from his heyday; can you react someday to a more recent performance of his, especially with a newer song? His singing style changed a bit with age, he is 75 this year and I know fans are unfair when they demand his performance to be like it was when he was 25. I know he still has it. But only you can tell me what is it, that I hear but I can't name. Thank you a lot for your work.

One of the greatest Rock/Metal Singers ever!......next HIS Live Version of MISTREATED!!!!

I learn so much from your videos!

I just saw Whitesnake this past year David Coverdale was amazing!! He sounded better than ever! He was hitting high notes and raspy vocals amd deep low notes. The best i ever heard him sing!!!!

Thanks for this awesome lesson. I really enjoyed myself. I look forward to tomorrow. Have a great day 😀

The crowd was shouting for Ozzy sooo much they only played a few songs. The singer went nuts, lit his hair on fire, grabbed the drummers drum sticks from him and whipped them at the crowd. The drummer had a single bass small pink drum set ... I knew things would get ugly.

I was at this concert and DC was in excellent form. You cannot compare his voice now to what it was when he first came to prominence with Deep Purple. Keep rocking David x

I was as well. The mix and sound here was brilliant. Seen them in total about 12 times since the mid eighties up to late 2010’s and the sound at Hammersmith was the best.

Beth, you are just adorable. Your facial expressions are cute when you're reacting.

Some of the advice you gave during your video was really helpful, Cheers mate!

Since the first time I saw the video on MTV in the end of the 80s this has been my favorite song. When I was still in the Marines my guys called it my theme song. It became expected that I would always drive up with it blasting.

it took me under a minute of you talking to realise you are clearly a pro vocal coach, refreshing to see. liked and subscribed

I actually saw him live on 3 occasions October 2011, Forevermore Tour, São Paulo November 2013, Monsters of Rock São Paulo September 2016, Greatest Hits Tour, São Paulo, just after his 65th birthday) His voice is still really consistent and he can still do some pretty difficult shit. Most of the lower and stronger notes have been passed around to Michael Devin (current Whitesnake bassist and a second vocalist that sounds much like David used to sound back in the 80's) but David still keeps it up and his composition skills have kept a great quality. Even in the Rock in Rio 2019, his voice was pretty good, even if nobody's ever gonna do a decent soundcheck for Whitesnake in Rock in RIo. Not in 84 and not in 2019. He still brought it, and he still has a kickass band just in case he fails.

I learn so much about music from your videos!

I've watched their show live 2 days before that, in São Paulo. It was, hands down, one of the best shows I've ever been, and easily the best of the festival.

Went to see Bon Jovi, did not get home disappointed. He's clearly past his prime, yes, but he managed to sing decently for 3 and a half hours. He used every trick in the book (lowering the tone here and there, handing it off to us for a good ol' singalong, generally being a showman and an entertainer) but he did it. I can forgive his terrible try on Livin' on a Prayer. I lost my voice there, too...

I saw DC for the first time in 1981, he was awesome then and he's still awesome today, god bless him.

He has always struck me with his voice...hole in the sky... And Time and Again are great solo tracks.. And his voice is so so emotional.. 😎

Very, very nice that you confront your viewers/listeners with the best era in music. Pure music without the computer-intgrated SHIT (pardon my French). Honest music from the 60's and 70's. Please more of these great band/singers please. Love Coverdale's (Whitesnake) voice.

He's obviously got a great understanding of what his voice can, and cannot, do at this stage in life. He's not trying to over-reach and fall short in the process. Coverdale is keeping it in the pocket and manages to totally deliver in my opinion. There's some great support from backing vocalists. It all sounds big and full, he's using big stage gestures physically that help the whole thing along. The crowd look like they're totally enjoying it, and at the end of the day that's all that matters.

Such a pity he can't do this anymore, although I didn't know about the surgery and that certainly explains a few things. He still clearly wants to give it all at live concerts these days and the backup singers are amazing (keyboardist is Michele Luppi, which, if you have time for, you might wanna consider reacting to, as he's an amazing singer and also a vocal coach himself), but it's still sad to see that he can't pull off performances like this anymore.

Wow HE AGED AMAZINGLY!! LOOKS GREAT SINGS STILL GREAT....AMAZING!

I saw Whitesnake in ~2010, and Coverdale sounded terrific. Even did Burn & Stormbringer in the encore (though his keyboard player struggled with Burn).

Wow - really interesting. I love Coverdale and have wondered about his voice with the later Whitesnake (this video) as opposed to the early UK member lineup (check Blindman off Ready and Willing). A comparison between Coverdale and Paul Rogers would be fascinating given that they're both from the same part of Britain and similar music genres.

Melhor banda do mundo.

I've never been a fan of Whitesnake, but I have always liked David's voice. Considering his long career and also the surgery, he sounds better now than a lot of young singers in their prime.

NICE!!!! Coverdale is just a legend!! You could do a video on his Deep Purple bandmate Glenn Hughes! His voice is amazing... And while he's getting older, his voice keeps on spot!!
