Whitesnake tickets First revival - Greatest Hits tour
In 1997, to commemorate the 10th anniversary of Whitesnake's popular self-titled album, Coverdale and Vandenberg released an unplugged-style show recorded in Japan entitled Starkers in Tokyo. This reunion inspired them to then work together on a new album - Restless Heart. This was originally to be a solo album for Coverdale, but record company pressures made him release it under the Whitesnake tickets Trent Fm Arena - Nottingham name . However, despite a release in both Japan and Europe, it was never available officially in the United States. The album marked a return to Whitesnake's earlier R&B stylings. The album peaked in the UK Top 40 and produced the bluesy ballad "Too Many Tears" . The album featured Coverdale, Carmassi, Vandenberg and Pink Floyd touring bassist Guy Pratt and keyboardist Brett Tuggle who, like Carmassi had played in Coverdale/Page. The touring lineup featured Coverdale, Vandenberg, Carmassi, ex-Mr. Mister guitarist Steve Farris, keyboardist Derek Hilland and ex-The Firm and Blue Murder bassist Tony Franklin. Coverdale folded Whitesnake tickets at the end of the tour.
After another major personnel shift and a major recording deal with the Geffen Records label, Whitesnake tickets released a partially re-recorded and fully remixed version of Slide It In for the U.S. market in 1984 . Coverdale initially hated the new Geffen re-recording of Slide It In, as Whitesnake tickets had found nothing wrong with the original, famously declaring that it had "lost its British bollocks". Despite Whitesnake's misgivings, however, the album did manage to give Whitesnake tickets some much-needed US exposure, and David soon altered Whitesnake's opinion. Slide It In later went double platinum in the US on the back of 1987. The Slide It In album spawned the American album-oriented rock hits, "Slow an' Easy", "Love Ain't No Stranger" as well as the album's title track - although in Europe Whitesnake tickets had a run with other songs, "Guilty of Love" and "Give Me More Time". While touring the first few months in support of the album, Mel Galley was forced to leave in the spring of 1984 due to an accident involving a broken arm, leaving John Sykes solely handling the guitars for the rest of the dates. A few weeks after Galley's departure, the next to leave was Jon Lord, who left to reform Deep Purple MKII. Keyboard duty was then handled by an off-stage keyboardist, Richard Bailey.
David Coverdale officially founded Whitesnake Trent Fm Arena - Nottingham tickets in 1978. However the core lineup had been working as Whitesnake's backing band on tour prior to Whitesnake's official founding. They toured with him in support for both of the solo albums Whitesnake tickets released between exiting Deep Purple and founding Whitesnake tickets - White Snake and Northwinds
Their first 7" EP, Snakebite , includes the well known track, "Ain't No Love in the Heart of the City", a re-arrangement of Bobby "Blue" Bland's song, which was the first hit from the band. The album had varied success throughout the UK. Subsequent reissues of this EP included four bonus tracks from Coverdale's second solo album Northwinds produced by Roger Glover. All four tracks from the original EP have been included in a 2006 reissue of Trouble.

Whitesnake tickets released Lovehunter in 1979, which sported controversy due to its risque album cover, which featured an illustration of a naked woman wrapped in a snake's coil. The album made the UK Top 30 and contained the minor hit "Long Way From Home" .

After a period of inactivity, Whitesnake tickets officially went on hiatus in 1991. Coverdale decided to try working with Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page on their Coverdale-Page project in 1992. His voice and style had in the past been compared to Robert Plant , which may have inspired this. The album became a #5 platinum record upon release in 1993.
