Album of the Day

David Coverdale handled lead vocal duties for Deep Purple on three of the British band's albums before forming his own group, Whitesnake, in 1978. The ties between the two bands were reinforced in 2015 with the release of THE PURPLE ALBUM, which offered fans modern interpretations of DP classics like “Burn” and “Mistreated.” The new concert collection THE PURPLE TOUR (LIVE) presents highlights from the supporting tour, with scorching versions of Purple favorites including “You Fool No One,” “The Gypsy” and “Soldier Of Fortune” alongside such Whitesnake hits as “Here I Go Again.” “Each member of the band brought their incredible individual talents and a real band identity to this music,” noted Coverdale of Whitesnake's take on mid-'70s Deep Purple, and THE PURPLE TOUR (LIVE) enriches the legacy of both hard rock legends.
