(They reached No. 65 in 1982 with their self-titled album; the single &#8220;Burning Heart&#8221; made it to No. 39.)<\/p>\n<p>In 1987, he played the solo on Whitesnake&#8217;s No. 1 hit &#8220;Here I Go Again&#8221; as a session musician and joined the band for the tour supporting the hit album.<\/p>\n<p>Although an injury sidelined Vandenberg from playing on the 1989 follow-up LP,\u00a0<em><a href=\"https:\/\/ultimateclassicrock.com\/whitesnake-slip-of-the-tongue\/\" target=\"_blank\">Slip of the Tongue<\/a><\/em>, he was credited as a cowriter on many of the songs as well as the main arranger for the guitar parts.<\/p>\n<h3>Where Is My Whitesnake Years Tour Playing?<\/h3>\n<p>Vandenberg&#8217;s My Whitesnake Years Tour will focus on the songs the guitarist performed while a member of the band.<\/p>\n<p>The shows start on Aug. 3 in New Bedford, Massachusetts, and include stops in New York, Pittsburgh and Nashville before a final stop in Atlanta on Aug. 23.<\/p>\n<div class=\"single-post-image \">\n<figure class=\"img-tag has-sizer alignnone\">\n<p><span class=\"visually-hidden\">adrian vandenberg whitesnake tour<\/span><\/p><figcaption>Chipster PR and Consulting<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>All dates for Vandenberg&#8217;s My Whitesnake Years Tour are listed below.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Really excited to cross the ocean again with my top-notch band to honor my 12 years in the golden era of Whitesnake,&#8221; Vandenberg noted in the press release. &#8220;Be prepared to scream along with all the big ones like &#8216;Still of the Night,&#8217; &#8216;Here I Go Again,&#8217; &#8216;Judgement Day,&#8217; &#8216;Fool for Your Lovin,&#8217; etc.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;No doubt about it, this is an absolute big rock tour with Marco and Vinnie celebrating their years in Journey, Thin Lizzy and UFO.
