NICE!!!!!! Do you have a set list of the extra tracks Priest played?

I read that Coveradle had larengitis and couldn't sing

That's kinda cool, but I think I'd rather have both.

No, didn't make a list.

Let's see, there was

Freewheel Burning
Diamonds & Rust
Victim of Changes
You've Got Another Thing Coming
Hell Patrol
Prophecy
Ripper

That's all I can remember.

Blabbermouth sez that Whitesnake had to leave the Priest tour... Coverdale has a vocal cord injury...

WHITESNAKE has released the following statement:

"Unfortunately, last night [August 11] at the Red Rocks Amphitheater, Denver, WHITESNAKE had to cut their performance short due to Mr. [David] Coverdale
experiencing considerable pain in his vocal cords. He was immediately
taken to a specialist for examination. The specialist discovered that David
was suffering from severe vocal fold edema and a left vocal fold
vascular lesion. He was instructed to cancel all performances for the
next two weeks and then undergo a further examination. The doctors told
us we were fortunate this was caught at a stage where no apparent
permanent damage has been caused. We therefore regretfully have to
announce that WHITESNAKE will not be appearing on the remainder of the U.S. tour with JUDAS PRIEST. WHITESNAKE sincerely regrets any disappointment this may cause."

At least he didn't shimmy off the stage during a dance routine like some other lead singer I know.

Wow. That sucks. Get better, David.

At least I got to see both though.

Me too! Whitesnake sounded great musically, but the vocals here were a bit rough sounding. Already knew about him canceling in AZ prior to Vegas because of Laryngitis, but now this news shows it wasn't.

Glad I got to see them relatively early in the tour! Coverdale rocked Cincinnati. I hope he gets back on his feet! He still has a lot to give.
