Whitesnake are a British hard rock band originally from Middlesbrough.
 Formed in 1978, initially as vocalist David Coverdale's backing band, the group originally featured guitarists Micky Moody and Bernie Marsden, bassist Neil Murray, drummer Dave Dowle and keyboardist Peter Solley, who released their first EP "Snakebite" in 1978.
 Solley was replaced later in the year by Coverdale's former Deep Purple bandmate Jon Lord, while the group's drummer Ian Paice replaced Dowle in 1979 after the release of "Lovehunter".
 Whitesnake was briefly put on hiatus in 1982, before returning later in the year with Mel Galley, Colin Hodgkinson and Cozy Powell in place of Marsden, Murray and Paice.
 Shortly after the recording of "Slide It In", Hodgkinson was replaced by the returning Murray, while John Sykes also joined the band; both new members featured on the US reissue of the album, which featured re-recorded tracks.
 Both Galley and Lord left the band shortly after the album's release.
David Coverdale (born 22 September 1951) is an English rock singer best known for his work with Whitesnake, a hard rock band he founded in 1978.
 Before Whitesnake, Coverdale was the lead singer of Deep Purple from 1973 to 1976, after which he established his solo career.
 A collaboration with Jimmy Page resulted in a 1993 album that was a commercial and critical success.
 In 2016, Coverdale was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Deep Purple, giving one of the band's induction speeches.
Live at Donington is a live album by the English heavy metal band Iron Maiden, documenting their second headlining appearance at the Monsters of Rock festival at Donington Park, a motorsport circuit located near Castle Donington.
 The concert took place on 22 August 1992 during the Fear of the Dark Tour in front of a crowd of almost 80,000.
 It was originally only released as a limited edition triple vinyl set, with a 2 disc CD release only in Brazil, Canada, Holland, Italy, South Korea, UK and Japan, but became a regular part of the band's CD catalogue with the 1998 reissues.
 It was also issued on VHS under the title "Donington Live 1992".
Whitesnake are a rock band formed in England in 1978 by David Coverdale, after his departure from his previous band Deep Purple.
 Their early material has been compared by critics to the blues rock of Deep Purple, but they slowly began moving toward a more commercially accessible rock style.
