I recently had the pleasure of seeing David Coverdale in concert at Manchester Apollo with his Whitesnake line up - and it was like stepping back in time to the early 1980s when I first saw the band live.
Major line up changes have taken place over the years (RIP Cozy Powell) - but Mr Coverdale, who celebrates his 60th birthday in September, was in fine form.
I have heard plenty of people say his voice isn't quite what it used to be - but my 16-year-old daughter's comments were along the lines of "Isn't his voice fantastic - it sounds just like the CD!"
Well hopefully he wasn't miming!!!!
Coverdale now has a brand new young line up supporting him on stage but still belts out the classics and is still releasing new material.
Long may it continue as I enjoyed my trip down memory lane - or as my wife keeps telling me - enjoying my mid-life crisis.
If one is still wondering why these old rock dinosaurs are still packing them in, the answer is quite simple - supply and demand - there isn't much better new stuff coming out these days - so roll on Iron Maiden next month and long may my mid-life crists continue :)
