Whitesnake revisited the music that singer David Coverdale recorded with Deep
Purple in the Seventies when they released The Purple Album two years ago. The
album, and the tour that followed, offered fans new modern interpretations of
Purple classics like “Burn” and
“Mistreated.”
On The Purple Tour (Live), Whitesnake puts their distinctive spin on several songs from Coverdale’s studio albums with Deep Purple – Burn (1974), Stormbringer (1974), and Come Taste The Band (1975). Highlights include: “You Fool No One,” “The Gypsy” and “Soldier Of Fortune.”
The double-disc collection also includes video footage of the concert mixed to 5.1 Surround Sound, plus a new music video for “Burn,” band interviews, and a number of bonus performances not available on the CD or vinyl versions.
The Whitesnake line-up that appears on The Purple Tour (Live), includes: singer David Coverdale, guitarists Reb Beach and Joel Hoekstra, bassist Michael Devin, drummer Tommy Aldridge and keyboardist Michele Luppi.
