Share This:

Whitesnake revisited the music that singer David Coverdale recorded with Deep Purple in the ’70s when they released The Purple Album in 2015. The album and subsequent tour offered fans new interpretations of Purple classics like “Burn” and “Mistreated.” Rhino announced today (Oct. 19) that highlights from the tour will be featured in a new collection coming Nov. 24.

The Purple Tour (Live) will be available as CD/DVD, CD/Blu-ray, 2-LP and CD.

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: Coverdale, guitarists Reb Beach and Joel Hoekstra, bassist Michael Devin, drummer Tommy Aldridge and keyboardist Michele Luppi.

Coverdale says there was never any intention to compete against the original recordings. “We just wanted to play the damn songs. Each member of the band brought their incredible individual talents and a real band identity to this music. We’ve all done the best we can with this project with respect to the music, and the legacy of Deep Purple Mk3 and Mk4.”

The Purple Tour (Live) also features performances of Whitesnake classic rock tracks like “Fool For Your Loving” from 1990’s Slip Of The Tongue, “Love Ain’t No Stranger” from 1984’s Slide It In, plus “Still Of The Night,” “Bad Boys,” “Is This Love” and the #1 smash “Here I Go Again” from 1987’s Whitesnake.
