It's such a shame and mystery that people just didn't dig Dokken as much as some of the others. Dokken was just as good, if not better than many who came out in the 80's.

It's the only band with Lynch Mob that i love from this manufactured suck ass glam rock era really!!! How did we go from Led Zeppelin,the mighty Van Halen to this,i don't know! I blame clowns such as Kiss,Motley Crue and Bon Jovi. Today,i'm 48 i prefer to listen to Eminem rather than Poison,Warrant and co...Sad but true,mais oui,ouh là là!

There was just something about Dokken that didn’t click! I think too soft for metal heads yet never grabbed the female audience like Leppard or Jovi. So they remained the consistent opener who I probably saw more than any other band.

I've got the album & I've got 2 words. GEORGE LYNCH!!!!! Best guitarist ever.

The guitar makes this song epic

Rokken with Dokken 🖤🖤🖤🖤⚡⚡⚡⚡ one of my all-time favorites 🤟🏽

Saw them here in Buffalo! Big Lynch fan! Blew Aerosmith away

This was the classic Dokken lineup ... Melodic METAL to the max ! Their own style and sound. In the 80s what more could you ask for ? These guys could write catchy songs, drawn in the chicks, heavy songs for the guys. George was and always will be the 80s guitar sound everyone wanted to have.

the sound is amazing on this, they look and sound incredible, those harmonies are just absolutely awesome!! this is one of my all time favourite songs ever!

I was at this concert. It's a shame Don and George hated each other because they were one of the best band out there! Don's nasal voice was a thousand times better than 99% of the bands out there. You would hear the album and they would sound good, but then when you saw them live it was a clusterfuck! Don's voice was good both studio and live. The back-up voices of Jeff and Mick were as also good. Dokken was the most UNDERRATED band of the 80's-90's. I miss the 80's.

That solo man!! just wow!

this whole tape was rocking I had it in the day

this is beautiful

Drove home in a snowstorm after this killer show !! What a night !!

Lot of comments are obviously from people who weren't there in the 80's. Dokken was one of the best bands, had the sound that made them a 3 platinum album selling bands. The videos you see on KZread cannot and will not capture what an event an arena band live playing their great songs really was. Rock was one huge party then, before grunge made it miserable and the labels took the sound, our sound, away. This is an awesome video from back in the day. No matter what the 'experts' say.

Freaking awesome!!!

@@MetalMaster101 agree on (almost ) everything: they were a very good live band, even if lynch's constant improvisations and variations often sound messy and sloppy, especially considering his actual skills. Reb beach, from this point of view, is much more reliable and condistent live. Overall, a great band which could have achieved so much more

Ha I saw this tour October 30 1987..w/Aerosmith at the Providence Civic Center...was like..uhh...21..me and my old bass player picked up 2 chicks and ended up in a hotel in Pawtucket for the night....ahh those were the glory days indeed..damn am I getting old!!!lol

Just saw Dokken a couple weeks ago. There still great.

They rocked Everytime I seen them live

Awesome backing vox for a live performance! Quite often bands fall down in that area.

wow... one of the best live videos I've seen

sweat and hairspray ... LOVE 80s metal

I like the vocals on this one. Thanks for bringing it out here for the fans.

Just so amazing! So many memories. I was like 10 🤘🏻😛. Loved Dokken and worked one night as a relief guitar tech for George later in Life. He offered me a full time job but id JUST gotten a new day job haha. Whole band is in Full Form here 💥💯

Awesome live clip! Don's vocals and George Lynch's guitar playing were both amazing back then...sheer hair metal power!

Keep Rockin' with Dokken! Awesome solo by George! My fave guitarist. If I remember correctly this solo won the best solo in one of Guitar World's choice award or something like that. Thanks for sharing!

This is a better recording and performance than anything on the "Beast from the East" live album! Thanks Rattmaster! This performance and quality recording capture what was awesome about Dokken.

Aaaaaahhhh... the good old days!!

get it together guys....we will pay to see it!

Hi Rattmaster!👋 Checked out your site and saw you had a post up about Taylor Hawkins. Thank-you for that!!! He deserves the recognition!!! I listened to some of their music but heavy metal is where my heart is truly happiest!!! "Learn to Fly" is the first hit they had and a good music video came out with it. Still listening to Dokken and venturing out from the 80's. (87 was a very good year for them)!!! Watching more interviews with them which are more current. Loved the one where Don showed his massive garden off. It was beautiful. Also watching stuff with George Lynch. Both these guys will be out touring by the way, just not together. Not so much on Jeff Pilson or Mike Brown. Lastly I've been learning about guitar pedals. Have watched both Warren and George on this. Can also hear the difference on the sound after they push it. I know what to listen for. Have a good weekend!!! Rockin Dokken and RATT&Roll!!!🤘🤙👍🙂Karen😇👱‍♀️

sounds amazing live!

I saw them open for Aerosmith the same year at Madison Square Garden. I didn't even give a shit about Aerosmith! Lol. I was there to see Dokken rip.

The Amazing King of Cool (and tone!)...George Lynch...just a reminder of just how good it was in the 80's

AWESOME!!!!!!!! Best Live Dokken video out there....

I so love those days of this music I have always loved Don got to see him this past march.. first time seeing them and it was awesome can't wait to see them again... when i pass from this life i hope heaven is the 80's just all that great music and fun we had i so miss those days

Caaara, to conhecendo essa musica agora, muito show!!! Tenho que procurar mais dokken.

I like dokken

Definitely one of the bands that should have reached stadium headlining status. They are not alone. UFO, Cheap Trick ( except for Japan) . Don, George, Jeff, and Wild Mick are masters on their instruments and have very strong songs. Don's vocals are incredible

goin to see dokken this saturday!

YES!

The band may be called Dokken, but George Lynch's guitar is what made this band an interesting listen.

Great band, great song, super guitar player ! Dokken had their own sound, hard edged, muscially above average against all the other 80s band. Fault wise ... they didn't really have a gimmick .... other than just playing bad ass songs. I would say the MOST under-rated band ever in any genre. Alot of their peers gave them more credit than the critics or fans. Don't hate .. just appreciate !

GREAT SONG !!!

I love it Meynard!!!

Ahh, Dokken in their day! I've been watching so many vids tonight of them now...yikes. This is refreshing.

I wish Don could still sing like this :( he had a nice vocal range back in those days. What happened to him? Smoking, drinking or what? I miss that good 'ol voice of his...

That's nice, glad you like them. This is a great song. They have a solid catalog. Its also funny that for a band that was much smaller than Ratt, they have way more bootleg videos and even full ProShot videos. Kind of makes me feel Ratt got the short end if the stick. 😂

I was at this show. It was George Lynch's bday. They open for (& blew off the stage) Twisted Sister.

@Rattmaster86 The original Dokken reunited in the mid 90's for two cd's (Dysfunctional and Shadow Life).

wow george lynch is officially the most underrated guitarist of the 80s

Sorry about that didn't mean to get so long winded!!! I really do appreciate that you let me go on like this. I'll let you be now!!!. Karen

A shame Don can't hit those high notes anymore. Still, this video was a nice trip down memory lane.

Dokken at the height of their ability! Fkn awesome

Dokken Rules!!

Wwwow...!!!!!

@Rattmaster86 Your right Rattmaster86. Love your videos, keep up the awesome work

@pulanceyt if they weren't huge in 1987-88 then they would never be huge. They've been putting out good albums since they started. 1982 Breaking the Chains, 1984 Tooth and Nail, 1985 Under lock and Key, and the current 1987 Back for the Attack. All that and they only had minor success, then they broke up in 1988. They did well, and were a great successful band they nobody cared about. Only the few...like people here appreciate them.

Saw dokken open up for Twisted Sister 85 or 86 in Pittsburgh; was one of the best 80's hair bands

Dokken in their fuckin heyday! Love it!

I had several videos from this show posted years ago. Back when I was more of a variety channel. I took down hundreds of old videos from a number of different bands when I decided to go full Ratt mode. The none Ratt stuff I kept up were the ones that were popular and had a high view count. Also a lot of other people had already uploaded a ton of footage from this show anyway. Check out my Des Moines 86 show though. It's a fan project where I took an incomplete video show and remastered the audio. It's now the full show because where there isn't footage, there is now audio. It sounds amazing, so I hope you give it a look.

Maybe briefly on this tour but I never saw Aerosmith in a large arena, but I'm pretty sure i did see then during this time with Priest. The did tour with multiple bands as well, so we both could be right.

Against all odds... it sounds great

Listen to the ending of the song and you hear Don Dokken state: Thank you very much, have a good time with Aerosmith. You are thinking about a different show all together my friend. Carrzkiss

Minty 👍!!!
