'Classic Whitesnake' played a rare London gig at Earls Court on
Monday August 7th as part of The Great British Beer Festival.
Bernie
Marsden, Micky Moody and Neil Murray were joined by vocalist Stefan
Bergrren, Jimmy Copley on drums and Mark Stanway on keyboards.
The
setlist was: Walking In The Shadow Of The Blues, Don’t Break
My Heart Again, Lonely Days Lonely Nights, Trouble, Slow & Easy
~ (piss break) ~ Ready & Willing, Ain’t Gonna Cry
No More, Crying In The Rain, Ain’t No Love.., Fool For Your Loving,
Here I Go Again.
 The
band seemed to go down well, attracting a lot of interest, and
appeared to enjoy themselves. I suspect a lot of the audience
(including myself) would have seen them in their heyday around
the late 1970s / early 1980s.
Bernie
Marsden played some of the tracks on acoustic guitar while Moody
played some of his excellent slide guitar. Vocalist Bergrren,
who has sung with the previous reincarnations of the band (Company
of Snakes etc) made a good front man, lots of energy and a voice
to go with it.
The
band suited the occasion well (i.e. lots of beer!). It would be
good to see them play more London venues in the near future.
