Wow, did any of you guys saying this sounds terrible look at the date it was recorded?. Sound reinforcement was (as you witness here) in it's infancy. Nowadays with digital effects that can fit into the palm of your hand,stereo panning and a barrage of other effects you can make even Justin Bieber sound like he has talent.This is a dry sound ,piss poor mike placement and no studio remastering.Think of this as a garage band with cheap equipment and STILL they sound good..To a point
actually this a rare treat when you can hear the vocalists without any enhancements such as echo and all the stuff they use in the studio. all considered they sound pretty damn good. i'd like to hear Justin Bieber or the Jonas Brothers try and do this song without any electronic assistance.
This is a mixing board mix. They always sound like crap, no matter what. When you go to concerts that loud you can't hear all the mistakes, and out of tune singing, because there is so much noise, the ears don't pick up all of that detail. If you went and mixed this properly, put in a few choice overdubs, you'd have a good sounding record. But as is, it's just straight from the board. Uh, NO AUTO-TUNE back then boys.
@Wrathdemon And lousy vocals at that (in my opinion!) Sorry, after you've heard Gillan, well . . . . Coverdale doesn't even sound on key. Sorry, I can't listen to entire song!!
Coverdale totally changed his voice when he left Deep Purple. In Whitesnake its more real and reaches higher. I think in Deep Purple he was still an amateur and still working his vocals. This is not as good as he could do
@dirtyfingersAR I really don't know from which village are you from, but it was recorded on a movie tape wich has infinite resolution. And ... were there any digital cameras then? Just asking.
Deep Purple una de llas mejores Bandas de Rock de todos los tiempos...muicos de primera linea mundial...el cantantes de primera (Todos)...e inexplicablemente excluidos y olvidados por el salon de la Fama del Rock and Roll donde el Grupo ABBA esta!!!!....Deep Purple for Ever!!!
ian gillan on born again black sabbath were the hardest songs to sing ever he is a bad ass mofo DISTURBING THE PRIEST-If your ready and have the need I will take your soul and plant my seed. long live DIO the other badass mofo
@debchefq Ian cant sing well anymore, when was the last time he did child in time ?
he rarely sounds good on highway star.. the ones that doesnt demand such a high voice, sure, those he does alright.. but to me, it is highway star + child in time that made old Ian so great.
@leppardsnake That is true I think that like any muscle in your body you have to retain muscle memory through practice so he either has been smoking or not been practicing I don't know how it is with rock singers, Frank Sinatra and Pavarotti when alive sang flawlessas well as the badass tenor god of all time DIO dude I fucking shed a tear when I heard about DIOs' death I met him 4 times he was such a nice man and true proffesional Have you listened to the black Sabbath Born Again?
@debchefq he's been drinking and perhaps smoking, which is a shame. + he's been touring a lot. yes, so did I when dio died.. oh, I never got a chance to meet him, that must have been cool?
yes, I dont think so much of that album although I really like trashed ;D to me, that is a classic Ian song, just great.
and btw, whilst speaking of purple, the singer who has really kept his voice or well.. it's almost better now.. is Glenn Hughes!
Glen hughes never sang in tune live EVER. Cover dale was better later in whitesnake as a blues singer. Ian Gillan Is a god and if you hear him now you'd agree. He started it all.
@dirkworld he WAS a god. He can't barely sing today.. Well only songs that doesnt demand a high register, and that was mainly what he was popular for. .
@joanquintorrez. Please do not even attempt to compare Coverdale and Gillan. If you know anything about your "Rock" history you would recall that Gillan was chosen to play the role of Jesus Christ in the rock opera "Jesus Christ SuperStar".
Even Glen Hughes has a better voice than Coverdale. In studio, David improved his capabilities, but live in concert... Just listen Made in Japan to compare Gillans voice with Coverdale in Europe album. No comparison
@joaquintorrez7 Made in Japan is a fuckin phenomenon! I don't think it is correct to compare anything to Japan record=) You can find rare short video footages of those legendary performances but they don't show Blackmore there - it is because devil played the guitar during Japanese showsXD
Coverdale had some surgery on his throat, after which his voice greatly improved. That's what I've heard.
But he couldn't be matched in any way with Gillan! It's true that Gillan kept loosing his voice as years passed, but he is memorable for his 8-octave voice range and great singing style he used to have and that's just it. The man is a legend. Do not compare him to anybody.
@leppardsnake Look, I've already said that Gillan was at his best in his pre-Black Sabbath era. You can't beat the fact that he, alongside with Robert Plant, was the first one to bring screaming in rock music and that wasn't some uncontrolled screaming. The guy really had one amazing voice. Too bad he lost it as he aged.
and he hasnt been succesfull for long. whitesnake has been more succesfull that any of his adventures. and that ain't fact. let's remember a certain glenn screamed a bit in trapeze as well
@leppardsnake really? gillan can't sing no more? hmm what about coverdale? can he sing? lol rock ain't all about screaming and that's coverdale's favorite shit to do. haha not singing nowadays, only screaming. other than that, he's just giving the mic to the audience. what a bum...
@leppardsnake oh we did? hmm i didn't know. anyways,
in ur opinion, ok. what r u? john kalodner? bob rock? lol
u said every singer does that? Hughes does? dio does? nobody does that as often as coverdale. he does it like it's his main job for living. lol to catch the breath? is he running the marathon or something? hahahaha
The vocals are that much louder than everything else because its so unbelievably, ridiculously loud on that stage. And it sounds like most of it is coming from the vocal mics. When Glenn steps in front of the mic the band gets quite quieter-ish.
@Wrathdemon My guess is that the mix was taken from the desk. That would explain why the vocals seem so loud, as they need the most boost thru the PA.
@Wrathdemon That's because this a board mix. The band's stage volume was likely so great that there was much more vocal through the PA than instruments. Be happy with what you got my friend! This stuff is rare...
@mondola we are many who agree that coverdale has a much better voice than Gillan. They are often both rated highly (sometimes coverdale higher, sometimes plant). IMO Coverdale has a low/mid range that is so wonderful, that gillan looks almost embarrasing in comparison. Yes, Gillan is great in high range, but hughes takes gillan there :) .. So coverdale has a better voice than gillan, hughes a better voice than gillan. Just my opinion. But dont say "are you 4 real" we all have different opinions
@mondola gillans definatley better than coverdale but i aint sure about comparin plant and gillan, but if u think gillan is better than plant who am i to judge u
@harel10 Fuck off, Coverdale was very insecure of himself at that time, and if he ever tried to imitate Robert Plant, he did it way better than the original. Plant has never had a voice, anyway.
Agree. Tries to squeal like Ian Gillan and to strut and swagger like Robert Plant.
Coverdale had/has a great voice but no real personality, has been a Cover-version all his life, to the extent of being used by Jimmy Page to lure Plant back in the 1990's. Great voice (much, much better than Gillan's), but embarrassing to look at.

What has gillan done with purple, since 84, on top 20 album.
All whitesnake albums top 10 since 1980.
it all comes down to opinions.
Coverdale has a rough, bluesy tone with enormous feeling, he really means what he sings. at least imo.
