David Coverdale Coverdale was born on 22 September 1951, in Saltburn-by-the-Sea, North Riding of Yorkshire, England. Around the age of 14, he began performing professionally and developing his voice. "I don't think my voice had broken," he explained to "Sounds" in 1974. "And that's when I first learnt how to sing with my stomach, which sounds silly, but it's totally different from a normal voice." Coverdale started performing with local bands Vintage 67 (1966–68), The Government (1968–72) and Fabulosa Brothers (1972–73). In 1973, Coverdale saw an article in a copy of "Melody Maker", which said that Deep Purple was auditioning for singers
Live in Anaheim (Ian Gillan album) Live in Anaheim (Ian Gillan album) Live in Anaheim is a double live album from Ian Gillan, recorded live at the House of Blues, Anaheim, California on 14 September 2006 during the "Gillan's Inn" tour and released in April 2008 by Edel Music. The accompanying DVD of the concert was released a couple of months later. In 2009 it was released as a CD/DVD release, in a slimline jewel-case. Only one CD was included, so three tracks were dropped for timing purposes, being 'Rivers Of Chocolate', 'Texas State Of Mind', and 'Drum solo'. The DVD was still the full show.
