Whitesnake Wayback Machine

I am loving the All That Shreds Facebook account. I swear, each day is a treasure trove of classic clips I've never seen before! The page just posted some REALLY old Whitesnake from circa late 1970s. The performance is from a French show called Jukebox. The interview is half French, half English. For whatever reason, the All That Shreds page changed their encoding so I can't embed videos and drive traffic back to them... so I found the clip on YouTube. Enjoy!

Mueller is the man !!!

I agree Badland! He kept reiterating that he hadn't exonerated Trump via his special counsel findings and that he could, in fact, be charged after leaving office. The American people needed to hear that! Not to mention the importance of hearing how Russia is currently meddling in our election processes and the Trump administration is doing nothing to stop it. - Allyson

Yay politics!!! Trump haters, Trump lovers, who gives a flying mf??? At the end of the day, it means nothing to us. Congress makes the rules and calls the shots! For the record, im against racism, sexism, political correct extremism, or illegal immigrants/refugees that shouldnt be in our country. As for my party, i don't claim anything except that im an American that was born and raised in our great country, and i never ever want to live in another country. \m/

The first thing that struck me about this incredible clip of Coverdale you unearthed via All That Shreds is it’s one of the weirdest most surreal things I’ve ever seen!

Here’s a guy who was lead singer for Deep Purple, playing HUGE arenas the world over, including that incredible “Live In Tokyo” show in 1975, fronting the band for their legendary performance at the first California Jam in 1974 in front of 300,000 people plus TV and radio audiences in the millions and yet, here he is, performing solo, lip syncing on a French TV show that doesn’t even appear to have a live audience. Nice Pulsar watch, though.

Though this footage looks goofy now, with him striking all his classic Rock poses like a kid in front of the mirror in his bedroom with no one around like no one around at the French TV studio, cut to Whitesnake performing “Still Of The Night” on the MTV Video Music Awards in 1987 on the heels of their multi-platinum new album.

Coverdale is living proof of the theory that everyone deserves a second act and, man, did he ever deliver!
