Album of the Day

Released more than two decades after it was recorded, Whitesnake's LIVE AT DONINGTON 1990 was worth the wait. The concert collection captures the heavy metal band's headlining gig at the Monsters of Rock festival at England's Castle Donington on August 18, 1990, and the crowd-pleasing performance is packed with hits from the group's multi-platinum catalog. Steve Vai joins Whitesnake here, and the guitar hero is in fine form on such favorites as “Slide it In,” “Is This Love,” “Still of the Night” and “Here I Go Again.” Band founder and frontman David Coverdale produced this 2-CD/1-DVD release, providing superior sound to the much-bootlegged show, and we'll fire up LIVE AT DONINGTON 1990 now to wish the man a happy birthday.
