Lynch was a monster guitarist. He adds some nice fills, which I always liked about his playing.

I was at this show...just cant remember who Dokken opened for...lol Mebbe Judas Priest? Kinda fuzzy on the details of all those mid & late 80's metal shows I saw at the Spectrum. But this one I definitely went to see Dokken for the second time. Saw them in '86 opening for Maiden(?) and that definitely made me a bigger fan after seeing George live. Also Don's voice was pretty damn good live back in those days too. Thanks for posting this gem!!! \m/

Said George was dehydrated terribly and said no drugs involved because she was into health and fitness.

I liked them too. But judging from the comments people just don't dig very deep at all to see what's out there. I understand that people are spoon fed whatever flavor of the day but Dokken was only the tip of the iceberg. If you didn't grow up in the 80s or even if you did, research a little bit more and you'll really be blown away by what else was lurking just beneath the surface.

Don was losing his voice by Back for The Attack. Arrogant prick!!! He saved his steams and talked through most songs.. Lynch is on the money on this tour. Don't know why he changed his tone later on? Progressively got bad. Added phaser to all his solos trying to be a VH clone. Back for the Attack is the sickest guitar tone IMO. Rhythm and lead tone delay is monsterous!!!!

With the drum set so close to the front of the stage, you know that once again they were not headlining this show.
