Whitesnake are streaming an audio preview of the track “Love Ain’t No Stranger” from the forthcoming package,“The Purple Tour (Live).”
Due January 19, multi-format project delivers classic Whitesnake tracks alongside material from the band’s tour in support of 2015’s “The Purple Album”, a project that saw frontman David Coverdale re-record classic songs from the Deep Purple records he appeared on – including 1974’s “Burn” and “Stormbringer”, and 1975’s “Come Taste The Band.”
Frontman David Coverdale explains there was never any intention to compete against the original recordings.
“We just wanted to play the damn songs,” says the rocker. “Each member of the band brought their incredible individual talents and a real band identity to this music. We’ve all done the best we can with this project with respect to the music, and the legacy of Deep Purple Mk3 and Mk4.”
“The Purple Tour (Live)” will be available as CD/DVD and CD/Blu-ray sets, as well as double-LP, single CD, and digital versions.
The double-disc collection also includes video footage of the concert mixed to 5.1 Surround Sound, plus band interviews, a new music video for “Burn”, and a number of bonus performances not available on the CD or vinyl versions.
Whitesnake recently released a 30th anniversary reissue of their classic 1987 self-titled album, and are planning to issue a new studio record in 2018.
The band will join Foreigner and Jason Bonham’s Led Zeppelin Evening for a newly-announced 2018 US summer tour that will begin in Bangor, ME on June 15.
