Whitesnake

Whitesnake

В 1976 году Дэвид Ковердеил вышел из Deep Purple, записал два сольных альбома: «Whitesnake» и «Northwinds» и создал группу из тех музыкантов, которые участвовали в их записи. Группа много гастролировала по Европе и Японии, первый американский тур прошел в 1980 году. В это время произошли изменения в составе — в Whitesnake пришли из Deep Purple Джон Лорд и Иэн Пейс, в новом составе группа записала двойной альбом «Live In The Heart Of The City», который вошел в британский Top 10. Затем, по личным причинам Ковердеил не смог выступать, группа вроде бы распалась, но в 1982 году собралась вновь — от старого состава остались только Лорд и Муди. В 1984 году были воссозданы Deep Purple, Лорд вернулся туда, Whitesnake же продолжали существовать, претерпевая, правда, постоянные смены составов. Что не отразилось на их репутации одной из ведущих хард-роковых групп. А в начале 1993 году Ковердеил выпустил альбом с еще одним ветераном Deep Purple Джимми Пейджем — «Coverdale/Page».

В конце 1997 года Ковердеил объявил, что Whitesnake дают серию концертов в Европе, после чего он начинает сольную карьеру.
