I'm a 'snake fan, just saw my third show the other night. Also saw them in '88 and '05, both shows were great. My '11 show wasn't so great. The band sounded really, really good, especially Doug Aldrich. But, Coverdale did not. We were up close and had a big video screen nearby. I had heard some rumors about his vocals not being quite legit, and they weren't. I watched carefully and it was obvious he was getting some kind of taped backing vocals to help him along. It sounded dreadful, almost like the vocals were fed through a separate sound system. After the show, I did some looking online and found plenty of similar complaints, including one from Joe Lynn Turner. What a bummer.
