And they say Heavy metal singers just scream.... David Coverdale has one of the best voices of any British singer ever Beautiful song too ;)

Back in the days, during a deeply depressing situation, this very song literally preserved my sanity... AMAZING song, AMAZING Dave, AMAZING Snakes!

Absolute perfection. Now that, ladies and gentlemen, is a singer! There's no faking that! God, I love that man!

No words can Describe this Performance ! David Coverdale and Andrian Vandenberg perform the best they can-->The Result of their both Friendship and Partnership as Members of WHITESNAKE !!! GREAT MEN !!! \m/ I Love them !!!

He puts so much soul and effort into his vocals!

One of the best rock vocalists ever - back when singers knew how to carry a note.....

What a voice. sends shivers up my spine...

Number one heavy blues vocalist!Top of his game for thirty years!Long may you sail your ships DC!

Coverdale is one in a million, Saw them in 08 he still sounds amazing. SNAKE

I like this version way way better than the studio cut. Simple. His voice is perfectly set against the guitar. You want to hear his voice. This is probably one of his best moments...right here. brilliant.

David's lyrics are just awesome.They can be both riteral and metaphorical...And I love it...This man is pure talent.Some of his sayings are the reason why i keep going... he's the best of the best 'Take the time and you will see that you control your destiny after all is said and done...'

A Masterpiece, plain and simple

One of the best singers and best songs ever!!!!

I love Whitesnake. David Coverdale has one of the most beautiful voices. His transparency is superb. Beautiful ballad vocals and brilliant hard rock vocals. A legend in his own right. Hell, he inspired one of the leading metal vocalists: Jorn Lande. Kudos, Mr Coverdale, Kudos.

This man can sing yes he can. Always a great performance. Saw Mr.Coverdale (Yes Thats Whitesnake) in Portugal and they blew the roof out

THIS IS A GREAT UNPLUGGED VERSION..TIMELESS AND BREATHTAKING...REALLY SHOWCASES HIS VOICE...LOVE IT

amazing words and vocals from David , by far the most sensitive side of his band leader .. very sweet .

That voice, amazing... both of them wrote the song too. Awesome.

How many singers would trade their right arm+a leg and half their heart for this voice and the ability to sing like that?For 30+ years I never heard someone even close to Coverdale.I remember when he came to Bucharest I was stuck with the 80's sex symbol image...I was shocked and happy to find something waaaaaay better.He grew in value like the good wine,years did nothing on him but make him better,if there's such thing as perfection he reached it

coverdale is simply te best voice in this fucking world ..nobody is better ...this dvd starkers in tokyo is the most beautiful thinks i have seen in my whole life... hail coverdale hail whitesnake and others like ritchie and others who made that songs with David

I cannot imagine it possible for anyone to have a better voice than this - as good as it gets . Robert Plant ( who I hate with a passion) can only dream of singing like this. Of course David is losing his voice but then he is now nearly 70 for heaven's sake. My life is better for enjoying many hours listening and seeing Mr C live .

every time i hear this song i could cry. it is soooo beautiful. best song ever made and ever sung

A music about Life. One of my favorites of all times.

The most beautiful ballad ever written/ played and sang. 🇳🇱🌬💞

one of the best songs from one of the best bands.

GREAT Voice Mr. Coverdale is one of the BEST Ever...

This song touches your soul. David Coverdale U are a legend.

David Coverdale, one voice, one sound , one feel. it only can give "one" voice, "DAVID COVERDALE" :-)

It simply goes right up to head! What a harmony between the two. Outstanding!!!!

This is ' literally !' The song for life. . 'You alone control your destiny!'..& at the end of it all , we are all ' sailing ships!'.. Stay safe & well my brothers & sisters.. Remember.. " your soul knows the way!"& I hope we meet then sail on one day.. Much love 🖤🖤

This one and Soldier Of Fortune, 2 of David's greatest lyrical compositions.

his voice gives me chills.. Friggin great!

-One of the best..unique voice , like Ronnie... Rob.....Ian...Dave(Meniketti),and so on.....

"Sailing Ships" Do you remember Standing on the shore, Head in the clouds, Your pockets filled with dreams Bound for glory On the seven seas of life, But, the ocean is deeper than it seems The wind was with you When you left on the morning tide, You set your sail for an island in the sun, On the horizon, dark clouds up ahead, For the storm has just begun Take me with you, Take me far away, Lead me to the distant shore Sail your ship across the water, Spread your wings across the sky Take the time to see You're the one who holds the key, Or sailing ships will pass you by You cry for mercy, When you think you've lost your way, You drift alone, if all your hope is gone So find the strength and you will see You control, your destiny, After all is said and done So take me with you, Take me far away, An' lead me to the distant shore Sail your ship across the water, Spread your wings across the sky Take the time to see You're the one who holds the key, Or sailing ships will pass, Sailing ships will pass you, Sailing ships will pass you by... Take me with you, Take me far away, We'll ride the wind across the sky Spread your wings and you will see You control, your destiny, So sailing ships don't pass you by So take me with you, Take me far away, We'll ride the wind across the sky Spread your wings and you will see You control, your destiny, So sailing ships don't pass, So sailing ships don't pass you, So sailing ships don't pass you by... Baby, baby, baby, baby, You'll find that you're the only one Can sail your ship across the sky

Meeting him was much like this song, captivating and yet understood. Is that too deep? lol When I welled up and smiled and said, "that's where your music takes me", he said "then I've done my job as an entertainer!" "More so, you get my music, and thank you for that!" When I said "I wish I could sing like you" he said " don't just sing more like you!" Amen and Thank You David!

Whitesnake (Coverdale)will always remain in my heart...thank you, for being such a beautiful soundtrack to my life...

Do you remember Standing on the shore, Head in the clouds, Your pockets filled with dreams Bound for glory On the seven seas of life, But, the ocean is deeper than it seems The wind was with you When you left on the morning tide, You set your sail for an island in the sun, But On the horizon, there a dark clouds up ahead, And the storm has just begun Take me with you, Take me far away, Lead me to the distant shore Sail your ship across the water, Spread your wings across the sky Take the time to see You're the one who holds the key, Or sailing ships will pass you by You cry for mercy, When you think you've lost your way, You drift alone, when all your hope is gone Take the time and you will see You control, your destiny, After all is said and done So take me with you, Take me far away, An' lead me to the distant shore Sail your ship across the water, Spread your wings across the sky Take the time to see You're the one who holds the key, Or sailing ships will pass, Sailing ships will pass you, Sailing ships will pass you by...

Absolutely fantastic. I love all songs performed in Tokyo ❤

Ковердейл это вокалист от Бога!!! Уникальный тембр, музыкант, который живëт в своём исполнении, доводит свою энергетику до слушителя, и эта баллада, парусники, супер классная!!!

The best ballad ever !

It makes me feel a weird sensation in my chest, i love it so much. Whitesnake, oh my god...

100% the voice of the 80's

Absolutely awesome every time I see it. That song made a huge impact in my life 8 years ago.

Coverdale....fantasticamente, fantástico !!!

Una canción no tan conocida de Whitesnake ,pero un gran tema ,( 2020 abril de cuarentena en la ciudad de México! Saldremos de esta! Viva el rock!!!

Live is always best - for those who can do it live! Coverdale and Vandenberg could do an entire album like this with Whitesnake's catalogue. Great.

The whole starkers album is incredible, I’ve never tired of listening and I get emotional every time I hear it. Beautiful.

such of harmonic voice and the way of singing! Best singer ever! Thanks a lot David!

One of my many favorite songs by them! This song always reminds me when i moved to an island in Fla!

An intro like that is something is like a time machine to good old past.....unseen of, unheard of in these mechanical present.

Great, the first few notes already tell you it is Adrian Vandenberg on guitar. Great!

O MAIOR CANTOR DE ROCK DE TODOS OS TEMPOS!!!!!!
