Sweet satisfaction
Live track from a Whitesnake show in Glasgow in 1984 was posted today. This version of Ready an’ willing will be included on the 6CD+DVD Ultimate Special Edition of Slide it in that we profiled recently. This was one of the last Jon Lord’s shows with Whitesnake before leaving to reform Deep Purple.
Thanks to BraveWords for the info.

I was there😎
January 30th, 2019 at 21:41Glasgow 84 was not Jon Lord’s last Whitesnake show, in fact it wasn’t even the last show of the UK tour. Jon’s final appearance was April 16th in Stockholm.
January 30th, 2019 at 21:51As was I 😃,happy days
January 30th, 2019 at 22:45I remember the local radio station played a chunk of this concert soon afterwards. I saw them at Edinburgh the previous or next (I can’t remember which) night.
January 31st, 2019 at 11:29Glasgow 1984 was on March 1st.
This was ONE OF the last Jon Lord’s shows with Whitesnake.
The final Jon Lord show was, exactly as John Grogan wrote: 16.04.1984 – Stockholm or as DC said “Good Evening Las Vegas” 😉
January 31st, 2019 at 18:17Who cares about that sexual impotent David Coverdale Whitesnake band for crying out loud… Rainbow was the band!!!
January 31st, 2019 at 19:29I was there too…great gig and amazing crowd. As always at The Apollo.
February 1st, 2019 at 04:38I was at the tour in Philadelphia’s Spectrum, don’t remember the concert that well i was pretty wasted at the time.
February 1st, 2019 at 19:12I was there too, and managed to speak with Jon at the hotel beforehand. Great night!
February 2nd, 2019 at 18:12Long time coming,but it’ll be great to hear more from this show.
February 8th, 2019 at 14:29Galley,Sykes, Lord, Murray and DC
I saw WS with Galley, Lord, Murray, Powell and Sykes. The only redeeming factor was Neil’s return, he knew so much better what and how to play than Colin H. who was an ill fit at the best of times, he had no grasp of heavy rock (he’s a talented bassist for other music). Sykes was so overeager and overcharged at the Offenbach gig I saw, all his solos were horribly out of time. Galley tried to keep a straight face about it as did Jon, but they must have been wondering. If you are used to the solid timing of Glenn Hughes or Ritchie Blackmore …
DP reunion or not, it was clear that this particular line up wouldn’t last much longer – and I for one had no regrets about its demise.
And of course, Sykes’ contributions to the 1987 success are invaluable, but he had a steep learning curve. Before WS, I had seen him at the final Thin Lizzy gig in Nürnberg, they were an absolutely horrific shambles and Sykes also out of time in his soloing. Maybe DC liked his hair.
February 12th, 2019 at 16:48@11 I don’t disagree. Sykes is not a guitarist I rate (personally) and I can imagine that he was chosen for his appearance as much as anything else. It’s not a great lineup but its still nice to hear these snippets of history.
