  • GUITAR, PLAY WITH DIO........BEFORE HE DIES...ITS VERY GOD

  • GUITAR, PLAY WITH DIO........BEFORE HE DIES...

  • They must have been epic I hope the play download 2012

    

  • Come to Portugal ! Monsters of Rock

  • Good grief. It's like that crowd is standing around taking about the difference between various wine vintages.

  • @spudnutsncoffee

    Discussing wine is better than listening to this shit.

  • I still brag about being in this video to this day

  • painful.

  • chileeee!

  • Dead crowd - Is DC even interested ???

    Poor show David - Get fit, Gargle and come back

  • 0:30 trtrtrtrtrtr

  • His voice is back to its best now, just listen to the new album Forevermore

  • Band still sounds good, David should get a day job.

  • @madman3737 i think he has enough money...

  • Unfortunately Coverdale's voice hasnt aged well at all... At least he can pull some amazing vocals in the new albums studio recordings but when he sings those 80s era songs live it is painful to watch and hear... Still he is a legend though;)

  • Bad Voice! A good voice will still sound good even in the open. This is a waste of time listening because Whitesnake did not deliver. Better find a real vocalist like Journey.

  • @jerntl his voice stills great men,how can u say that

    vince neil's voice is screwd,ireally like motley.but his voice is goin down,not coverdale's voice

  • Whitesnake should play their sets after it gets dark songs like Still Of The Night don't sound on place in daylight...;)

  • sounds amazing for a videocamera

  • excelente video la verdad es que este es de los mejores que ponen en vivo grande coverdale

  • That was a hot day. Hot but great day.

  • they should have headlined!!

  • did you hear it ?? 0:32 tiriririri :D

    just funny :D but good :D

  • David looks like Buck Rogers here... Djeeezis!!!

  • FUCK ME? HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE NOT ROCKING.. JUST STANDING THERE.... FUCK At a ROCK gig how do people avoid jumping up and down. ?? FUUUCK

  • Thanks, man!!!! This is high quality!!!

  • Cov had a problem with his left vocal chord, and didn't know it, and his voice was messed up about the whole year he toured ... 'till his voice just gave out at the end of the summer, in Denver, and he had to walk off the stage. He's had medical attention to it, and should sound much better if they come out this year

  • @Padarack1 yer a friend told me when they went to download, that he was expecting him to be like what he was in 2004 but was incredibly dissapointed when he actually saw them, i mean watching this year and last years footage really out off seeing them anytime soon, but seeing the info youve put out, i think i will definetly cut him some slack for sure

  • @thrashmetalowns666 Yes DC was a lot better in 2004 he sounds a bit tired here...

  • Fixxxer95 they're actually def leppards they put them around the screen

  • @randi503 was just gona say the same thing....the band is playing its heart out to a shite crowd.

  • Tenia que haber una bandera chilena!!!!!

    GRANDE WHITESNAKE!!!!!!

  • melhor vocalista do mundo , como vinho

  • genial! lo mejor Whitesnake!!

    y esta la bandera de Chile!!♥

  • True legend... but what is wrong with the crowd????????????

  • I love how you can see Faith No More's red curtains tied up at the corners of the stage.

  • This was just an off night for him. But still a kick ass singer.

  • I think his VOcal chords musta been damaged here like when he played at Red Rocks....st on the way

  • yo estuve en donigton 99 o 98 no lo ecuerdo con exacttius perover una bandera chilena y creo que colombiana..me llena de orgullo....a proposito soy argentino ...gracias gente!!!!!!!!!!!11

  • bandera chilena!!!

  • Opinions vary.Now run along and listen to your lady gaga cd.

  • fair play to coverdale for still 'avin it even tho his voice is fucked

  • @davies2205 fucked....i bet your old grandpa couldn't belt out a tune at that age. now sit the fuck down and enjoy you silly cunt.

  • @phastasm No he couldn't. thats cos he's dead. I just pointed out that coverdales voice is now fucked. Which it is, you silly cunt.

  • @davies2205 ..I saw Whitesnake in Toronto in 2003. David's voice was awesome...hit every note...the big ahhhh in the middle of Still of The Night etc etc...but the vids I see on youtube of Whitesnake since then do show David's voice not doing so good.

  • @davies2205 i own the intellectual property rights over the words and phrase "silly cunt" . so don't be using my lines you silly cunt.

  • @phastasm ok then, you Silly Fucking Cunt.

  • @davies2205 i bet you went through endless sleepiness nights thinking of that 1...i bet you even smiled thinking " I KNOW WHAT TO REPLY".......i needn't say more. You're not deserving of even being called a cunt, i take them back, brain dead is more suitable.

  • @phastasm & davies2205, now now girls, put those handbags down, lmao!

  • GREAT WHITESNAKE LO MEJOR

  • rock gods...2:59 good great god what a scream

  • wish you would put up some vids of the sex pistols from manchester mate..

  • this is really well filmed considering you were in the crowd well done

  • Joder es impreesionante que este hombre aun cante asi de bien, yo deje de oir whitesnake hace 19 años, pero me quito el sombrero ante el estado de forma de su voz.

  • Grande Coverdale

    Grande CHILE!!!!!!

  • Gotta say David Coverdale got old.He is 58 though..which means in his 80s prime he was well into his 30s

  • the new drummer sucks,tommy aldridge is much better...

  • And I also spotted me n me m8 in the corner haha.

  • Great memories that weekend. That was my Woodstock!

  • Yea comparing to the 1990 Donnington his voice got wicker but well the guy is 19 years older...

  • what the fuck is with the crowd????? Its not a fucking funeral

  • I was there, every1 was singing its the camcorder sound.

  • yeh was this crowd like here for something else and WS just so happened to be there?? Like did these people show up here just for WS?? haha so sad

  • DC:s voice is goodbye! Sorry to say! I´m a huge DC fan, but you got your time, now it´s in the final! Sad, Very sad!!

  • AWESOME!!

  • I was pretty let down by the crowd - we stood right by the central barrier, halfway between the stage and the sound desk and there was room to dance. Now while this was quite nice, back in the day there's no way you would have got that close without things getting sweaty, and it really was lacking in atmosphere for WS and DL.

    As for Coverdale, his voice was pretty shot the last time I saw them at Donington 90 - search for 'Fool For Your Loving' from that gig - he's sharp all the way through!

  • I totally love his accent!

  • Aldrige is not in Whitesnake anymore :(

  • Comment removed

  • where is aldrige^

  • greatest weekend of my life

  • @SkaterG62 Same here man, same here ;)

  • Sorry - But i thought they rocked!

    Maybe not as hard as they did in '91 with Vai, but that was another century. This is a man who replaced Gillan in Deep purple, celebrating 25 years since their last 'classic' snake album.

    Dave seemed to be enjoying himself and not sulking at the support slot like manson did the day before.

    Cheers! made my day! Then i ran to the hills to avoid lepp!

  • you ran from lepp O.O WTF MAN

    they was the best

    i though WS rocked hard 2 but they took a little to get started

  • yes but the thing is lacika, lets just thank god for small mercies eh...it wasnt gonna & nobody expected it i think to be a mindblowing set that rivalled the old whitesnake stuff but the main thing is i think myself & others are just happy we got to see them at donington & with most of these bands disapearing...we may not see them again...i was happy that day whatever the sound, god bless david coverdale

  • this sounds shit compared to the Marco Mendoza, Tommy Aldridge line up, that was killer

  • ref '4instruments'

    wheather you play 4 instruments or not (maybe they must be ..a triangle,kazoo,paper bag & a comb?) this was a good afternoons music...it was a lovely day & ended the weekend well

    we all get old but dont knock the sound quality...i was there & it sounded fine...maybe its how it been recorded?

    do me a favour & type in the search bar at the top the same...'here i go again' & pick the 1983 i think? donington concert rendition...& tell me if that sounds shit too??

  • hi, you seem to have pretty good taste!

    thanks for backing me up there buddy :D

    it was a lovely end to a perfect weekend wasnt it?!

    (though not as good as Def Lepp.)

    It did sound awesome didnt it?\

    and like 80,000 people agreed with us too!

    yeah u gave him a good recomendation, back when Download was Monsters Of Rock!! :D

    Keep it Loud Man! x

  • This has got to be one of the WORST live performances I have EVER seen by any band in any style. This sounds like a cheap garage band trying to imitate Whitesnake. Sorry guys but this is straight up trash and there's no way I would've stayed and listened to this, I would've walked out. I hope this was a free outdoor concert. I do credit some of it to personnel changes and age but DAMN David, at least fake like you like singing this song.

  • woah! little harsh isnt it?!

    Lets not forget Coverdale is what... 57 years old now yeah?

    to be honest, i have seen Whitesnake twice now, and yeah he is loosing his voice but it is still a great performance.

    also 70-80,000 people stayed to listen to this, weather u think its trash or not. It was not a free concert (anything but) and the day Whitesnake played was the most popular day of the whole weekend! at the time the performance was amazing and admittedly this vid does not do it justice

  • (to contine from before).... they did and amazing show and i think the atmosphere did contibute to that. i just think you are not really listening to the music and feeling behind this performance. Whitesnake are Rock ledgends and always will be!

    Keep it Loud!!

  • I am listening to the MUSIC and FEELING or should I say lack of?? I've been a musician for 20 yrs and play 4 instruments so I might know a little about music performance. Not to be rude, I do see your point and believe me, Whitesnake is one of my FAVORITE bands along w/ this song which is why I was on here listening to this song, but it just seems like there's no emotion of feeling and no one cares what it sounds like.

  • See, i dont think you are listening at all. You are judging this performance by what "everyone" thinks is acceptable (mainstream), not the true Rock 'N Roll quality in it!

    I too play an instument and i have played for 4 years, so yeah not as much insite as you, but i still know how difficult a performance like this is to pull off.

    (i am not being rude here, i just dont like people slating Whitesnake by the way)

  • Comment removed

  • jajaja genial una bandera Chilena.....exelente (y)

  • man chris SUCKS on those drums get back fucking tommy aldridge the best drum showman ever chirs makes me not want to see whitesnake his drumming style is not the same i fucking hate it

  • don't watch him then, i think he's great

  • he doesnt feel attractive anymore you can tell in his performances..Hes lost his swagger since the 90s. he use to feel every beat in his body it would move to the beat in perfect time. It was like the bass drum passed through his bodyt like a heartbeat ..Maybe Tawny put that extra pep in his pimp step back then he looked so happy but its gone now. I bet if he looked and studied how great his performances were back then hed step his game up. Get you swagger back David!!

  • Reb Beach, flawless as always.

  • best band of download.

  • i skipped an exam to be there :P

  • whitesnake rule!!!!!!!!

    I already have a wishlist for next year's download!

  • i missed this bit because i was passed out and in the medic tent next to the stage! I remember hearing this though and my sister cursing me for us missing it!

  • Lame crowd

  • I concur. What the hell?

  • yeah they should've been friggin jumping

  • So gutted I had to miss this; I could only get a day ticket for the Saturday because I had an exam on the Monday :( I saw Whitesnake with Def Leppard on tour however, and they were incredible. I was a bit disappointed that they didn't do webcast though.

  • lmao i had exmas on the Monday too, so we only went Sunday but i was suppose to be there for the whole weekend :(

  • y didnt u go on friday and saturday and then u woould have time to recover and pprepare for exams on the sunday

  • because i revised all friday and saturday and the bands i desperately wanted to see were all playing on the sunday

  • Doug Aldrich rocks

  • great footage!

  • EXCELLENT!!!

  • that guiy spinnign the white shirt at 0:55 is me

  • COLOMBIA PRESENT

    YEAH!!!

  • LMAO!! The Guy At 0:31

    ''Do Do Do Do Do Do!!'' Ahahha

  • hehe thats mint

  • I was there all day at the main stage and had an awesome time: all the bands I saw were awesome apart from Black Stone Cherry who wern't that good tbh. Deffo goin next year. For me the best live track was 'When the Wind Blows' which sounds amazing: even better than the album version. Def Leppard were the highlight though, they were amazing. Not sure what the dude was talking about with his 'poor turnout' comment on Sun. The crowd was absolutley massive when Lep was on.

  • Exactly. I Was There Aswell,

    People Really Should Attend A Whitesnake Or Def Leppard Gig To See What's It's Like. They'd Eat Their Words. Aha.

  • that sound be 'Can you Hear The Wind Blow?' rather. What a tune!

  • Loved it!

  • Wish I'd seen them this year but I think I was at either papa roach or trivium at this point =/

  • Had Whitesnake still had the sonwriting skills of John Sykes, sacked after the 1987 album, this band would never have left the rock scene. It took two guitarists to replace him.

  • ...and Sykes disappeared from view!!  Coverdale doesnt take fools or greedy rockstars lightly!

  • take your point pal but as far as i can remember WS have always had 2 guitarists, i saw them with sykes and mel galley on the slide it in tour 84 and they were awesome

  • Aww no Tommy Aldridge???

  • Tommy left 2 years ago...

  • Chris is a beast though! respect for the man!

  • top stuff

  • Coverdale is loosing his voice a little but he is nocking on i suppose.

    AMAZING festival... best weekend of my life

  • maybe a little bit but still better than most other singers round his age

  • GRANDE CHILE CTM!

    Great performance, hope they come back to Chile soon.. Dream Theater was also great in this festival.

  • i was at front love this song best weekend ever got go bk tow work

  • GOD how I miss that chick on the hood of that car!!!!!!

  • Too bad she lost her looks too. Seen her lately? EEEEK!

  • is that fire marshell bob singing?

  • de quien es la bandera chilena?? XD q suerte estar ahí

  • i was next to the sponge with the texas flag ....whitesnake was a rite good do....for all the haters( like to see if your still rocking out in 30 years)...... prob not!

  • lol, thats not a texas flag, its a chilean flag

  • ooops ha ha

  • classic.

  • Very apt. that seemed to be what he was thinking while he was singing this.

  • zimmerframes at the ready ?

  • I thought the Sunday was the best. Whitesnake was a bit of a letdown though. ZZ Top were amazing and Def Leppard ROCKED!!

  • Sunday was so boring! I fell asleep during most of the bands... But Steel Panther rocked!!

  • I was there.. Boring. !

  • See now i tried to watch as many bands as possible.. watched tghe start of Whitesnake.. then went and saw a bit of 69 eyes.. then caught Papa Roach and Trivium then watched Def lepard close Download... Its just an easy way to see bands. Whitesnake are pretty good though.. i really didnt want to miss them

  • Amazing! Saw these at the Echo Arena, Liverpool... these guys make me proud to be British...

  • it was great where we where. just near the front ...they rocked !!!

  • whitesnake were totally amazing and i was very impressed with coverdale's voice and the guitar solo's. gutted the crowd wasnt as enthusiastic where i was stood but wot the hell, i had a wicked time:0)

  • so annoyed, i missed half this set when buckcherry were playin, these guys, from what i saw, were much better tyan def leppard

  • was there this year, and whitesnake were awesome was very annoyed more people didnt come to support the legends on sunday thought the turnout on sunday was pretty poor to be honest even for def leppard who headlined main stage-compare that to the massive audience slipknot got on saturday

  • Look at the snogging couple at 2.00!

    I was to the left of the POlish flag

  • LOL at that fella in the background at 0:31 hahaha!

  • How many new people have a Snakebite?

  • they were a major let down his voice was bad i think they should call it a day and give up while they are still on top.

  • Yeah i have to admit i'd heard about 4 songs by Whitesnake and thought they weren't that good, however watching them live changed my opinion completely. His voice was a bit shot in places but most of the time he was great and the band themselves were on top form. Completely surprised at how good they were that night and i do feel bad for them that more people didn't show to watch them, they went to see Trivium *frown*. One of my highlights of the weekend definitely! And the guitarists.... =O

  • but trivium wiped the floor with them .......... no offense i do love whitesnake :)

  • I saw Trivium supporting Maiden: they were shit

  • I went to see Trivium, and they were freakin electric so turn that frown upside down, buddy ;)

  • It's just anyone can go and see Trivium, anytime! they will still be here in 20 years (probably) You don't know how long Whitesnake have left, they are legends and deserve support through what could be their final years. I mean i've seen Trivium before and they were great but i thought i'd see a legendary British metal band before they decide to split and they put on a great show.

  • Agree with DellYEAHx, the video doesn't do any justice to the day. Whitesnake were fantastic.

  • Comment removed

  • Awesome DC just keeps on rocking and that voice still sends me to heaven... what a legend, what a God. love you David, come back to Australia again, soon!!!!!

  • So sad, not enough WS Choir to sing along..... the crowd sucks! Why they kept staying there? Feel sorry for the band. Ok, DC's voice may be wasn't perfect on that day, but they still rock and I love them!!!!

  • una bandera Colombiana :)

  • I KNOW!! WTF was that all about??? Some boring cunts near me (to the left, down the front) and they were fucking standing still! Then this fucker got all shoulder-y and pissy with me, then proceeded to pick his nose and air-conduct in my face! AIR CONDUCT, FFS! So I rocked out and bumped him a bit and hollered in his ear, hahaha

    Fuckers like that should be banned from gigs. When I'm a rock legend I'll be pulling them out and ejecting them personally

  • Whitesnake Burn = Best this year !!!

    In Sweden it was a success story 2009

  • But..but...but...his voice is fucking SHOCKING!!! Should have given up 10 years ago, when I asked him face to face why he didn't give Glenn Hughes a support slot these days "Glenn needs to follow his own path" he replied. Tanslation: "I'm not having that twat sing me off the stage again! In my own facking band too!"

  • IT makes me proud as HELL..to see DAVID COVERDALE still OWNING that stage..he wipes it with most of today wannabee musicians..in one swipe..nearly 58 he has more stamina and talent then any of these guys..

    together ..a VERY proud member of the Ws choirs..since 1978!

  • i was there! it was amazing.

    this video doesnt really give it any justice tho,

    the crowd was alot more into it than this makes it seem.

  • Whitesnake Rules!!!!!

    David Coverdale is the best singer!!!!!

  • Wow... What a lame ass audience...

  • yeah

  • Comment removed

  • Horrible crowd i was in. Full of immature metal punk kids. Go away and see Trivium or another lame mosh band...

  • Whitesnake ...amongst the few bands that refused to webcast their set.They must have known the reception would be as bad as that.Long live my memories of classic Whitesnake..Donington 1981 the crowd went bananas.

  • Cool,somebody else who remembers them in their prime. Respect to them for keeping going for so long but imho I think their best days are behind them

  • They sold out their sound to the US radio channels..then Coverdale became a US citizen and moved to Tahoe.I hope he gets eaten by a bear or a forest fire...don't ever come back you big Mary Ann!
