I think George was at his best at the Back for the Attack tour. Wicked Sensation is a great album but then he quited Metal and fast tempos (like Kiss of Death or Till the livin´ End) and embraced hard rock and mid tempos.
@@COTTERO I love Back for the Attack (my favorite Dokken album), but the groove of Lynch on Wicked Sensation is equally killer. Sometimes slower tempos make for a heavier sound (Pantera, anyone?).
And when they came home they were relegated to the dustbin by one guy, Mr Cobain. The top of his game is midlevel in the good players world. This guy sucks.
And especially if youre really good at it. Ive noticed that many online players are horrible in live settings. Guys like lynch were/are true masters in all settings.
The SOLO in "For a Million Years" is like one of the most melodic Masterpieces,and man does he play it fine here, If's more like a "concerto" [that solo] with true listenable melodicism than anything the swedish guy with the name change has ever done!
Saw this gig here in Cleveland, Oh. on 5-11-91 at the long gone Richfield Coliseum. It was Cinderella as headliner, Nelson in the middle & Lynch Mob opening. Richfield held around 21,000, crowd that night was about 11,000 in attendance..George & The Mob were outstanding in their 45 minute slot, simply one of the world's great rock players is George Lynch. Oh yeah, Cinderella & Nelson were o.k. too, :) ;)
I'm so grateful for these shows being recorded and online to view forever. A lot of old-timers like us whine "the kids nowadays always recording with their phones. Just enjoy the show!" and I want to say "they ARE enjoying the show AND they're documenting it so they can enjoy it 30 years like we're doing with this show right here!"
Saw these guys in a club in Toronto a few months after the WS album came out. What a great show and it was fantastic being so close to watch George play! WS is one of my fave albums from back then. Too bad this line up couldn't stick together longer.
Definitely one of the top Metal Bands of the era, along with XYZ. Phenominal guitar and vocals! This was all the good elements of Dokken, plus even better tunes. I love Oni and George. Robert Mason was killer also! Still love the classic Dokken as well.
THE example of heavy music at its absolute Finest; The Look, the Sound, the Songwriting, there just IS NOT a band that does it any Better. Lynchy is a Genius, and the Lineup of Players Here, Shines!, Head and Shoulders above the rest. There’s simply No Contest. Period
Saw them in a little 3-5 thousand seater. It was before their ABC live show. You could tell touring had taken an effect on Oni Logan's voice but Lynch was absolutely on fire. The crowd went nuts whenever he took a solo.
Yeah it's unfortunate Logan's voice couldn't hold up. He's pretty rough in parts of that ABC performance. I wish he would've been on the second album. I feel like when a band messes with the chemistry of their prime lineup that's when things go down hill.
Truly amazing,lineup and songs are killer!! Saw this tour and following one with Robert Mason in Dallas Texas,band was extremely good. Love both early Lynch Mob albums.
This is NOT Osaka but the 3rd date of the Japanese tour in Amagasaki 21.1.91. I had the VHS tape back then and there was about 10 minutes of pre gig footage with the band vviewing a pagoda in the cherry blossom surroundings. Cant put my hands on it right now so this footage will do just fine. Thanks for the upload
Caught this line-up at a long defunct club in Las Vegas on Boulder Highway called Calamity Jane's a week or two before the Wicked Sensation album was released. They blew the roof off that sweatbox that night.
Oni Logan, on the Wicked Sensation album, was fantastic. But sadly was unable to maintain that standard on tour. Too bad. But one of my all time fav recordings.
This is perfect! I wonder if you have any recording of Lynch Mob with Robert Mason? It would be really cool if you could upload it as well! Thanks for this amazing upload!
She's so evil - 2:00 River of love - 7:15 Wicked sensation - 12:14 Tooth and nail - 17:37 Hell child - 21:29 No bed of roses - 27:01 Through these eyes - 32:26 George solo & Mr. Scary - 38:00 Rain - 47:10 Sweet sister mercy - 52:12 For a million years - 56:00 All I want - 1:03:00 Kiss of death - 1:08:50 Dance of the dogs - 1:16:29 Street fighting man - 1:20:40
Had George found Oni in 86 ish......and were able to write these songs, they could have gone platinum >> real quick........... That Oni..... What Swagger.....and the delivery of those tuff lyrics......
I love hearing people say: “Shit, I can play that.” And then they play the riff perfectly! But the question is, can you create that? Obviously not. (Personally, I don’t care! I rip George, Steve Lukather, John Sykes, and Gary Moore off constantly! They have more talent in their pinkies than I do in my whole body!) The thing is, I know I suck and have no creativity. I’m never gonna be a rock star, but pretending sure is fun!
Please God I pray that someone helps the greatest guitarist ever to find someone to help make live recordings that we can hear clearly over UA-cam and play on our bad sound systems. Amen
I gotta ask - is there a better quality document of a FULL Lynch Mob headline show (video OR audio) of the 90/91 Wicked Sensation line-up? Because I haven't been able to locate one if so (but I'm always willing to get turned onto new sources). I would love for someone to unearth that October 1990 Las Vegas gig...
Oh ya? That guy might not have known the name of the place except Osaka Dome ,Lol! i was the 2nd raw 'n in front of Anthony. I got Mick's stick :)) Master Lunch'd been really awesome well as now \m/
Saw Lynch Mob on the U.K tour back then October 1990. Brings back great memories. My Love affair with George's playing was well underway! And it still is. Great footage Dude.
+SkullCrusherSR71 There are 2 new ones out now! "Sun, Red Sun" and "Rebel"... pretty sure they are working on #3 as we speak! They are hitting the studio like the 80's when most put out an album a year!
Location is wrong, it is not Amagasaki Archaic Hall in Osaka Dome. I remember well because it is live HR / HM that I saw for the first time. 場所が間違っています。大阪ドームでは無く尼崎アルカイックホールです。僕が初めて見た HR/HM のライブなのでよく覚えています。
George at his prime! Watch him 2000(ish)+ he can’t seem to play the same thing, the same way, twice. It’s a little weird… 🤔 Even this song is almost totally different when he performed it. So strange. Felt bad for the singer on their taped concert, cause even George talked about his vocal cords were blown from just coming off that tour.
Man...they were so good back then. I just got back from seeing them tonight (June 12 2016) and...it was just kind of sad. George seemed drunk, his playing was sloppy as fuck, and everything he said through the mic sounded jaded and bitter. Oni carried the show - he has done a fantastic job of retaining his voice over the years. But as a huge George Lynch fan back in the 80s & 90s, and having never seen him live before, the show tonight was incredibly disappointing.
@@MindsEyeMuseGuitar its the 2004 furious George album. Its 70's cover tracks in a slower tempo to highlight his guitar work. The second to last song ' you shook me' and ' bridge of sighs' song stand out as bluesy.
Don, back in his day, had a serious "head phone voice" - combination of vocalist and laser light show - he really took you "into the songs" - what a Force of Nature - thanks Don!!
True, but it's Bulgarian Folk Music, with a cool, Middle-Eastern dissonance and mystique. Very different. I guess they needed some prep time. You know, Oni had to do another line or two. Lol.
Wicked Sensation is the most fantastic album George Lynch has ever made. This tour kicked everybody's ass!
I think George was at his best at the Back for the Attack tour. Wicked Sensation is a great album but then he quited Metal and fast tempos (like Kiss of Death or Till the livin´ End) and embraced hard rock and mid tempos.
@@COTTERO I love Back for the Attack (my favorite Dokken album), but the groove of Lynch on Wicked Sensation is equally killer. Sometimes slower tempos make for a heavier sound (Pantera, anyone?).
Agreed
I agree best album ever.
Lynch was at the very top of his game .....incredible playing.....
Lynch Rules
I'd rather hear Lynch than a thousand Petruccis.
@@angusorvid8840 absolutely. All day long !
Absolutely
And when they came home they were relegated to the dustbin by one guy, Mr Cobain. The top of his game is midlevel in the good players world. This guy sucks.
playing guitar on stage is the coolest thing in the world
Especially metal or rock guitar
And especially if youre really good at it. Ive noticed that many online players are horrible in live settings. Guys like lynch were/are true masters in all settings.

21,000 seat venue with Heartbreak Station in the cut out bins, yikes! 11,000 is an impressive number tho.
I went to concerts@ Richield many times
I'm so grateful for these shows being recorded and online to view forever.
A lot of old-timers like us whine "the kids nowadays always recording with their phones. Just enjoy the show!" and I want to say "they ARE enjoying the show AND they're documenting it so they can enjoy it 30 years like we're doing with this show right here!"
Saw them at toads place in new haven ct and I think my ears are still ringing
Saw this show in Kansas City Mo with Steelheart. George Lynch sounds great live. Some of his best shows were with Lynch Mob.
Everything about Lynch is so incredibly badass!
Saw these guys in a club in Toronto a few months after the WS album came out. What a great show and it was fantastic being so close to watch George play! WS is one of my fave albums from back then. Too bad this line up couldn't stick together longer.
Oni could sing like a beast back then....saw them in Philly in 1992....total kickass
Definitely one of the top Metal Bands of the era, along with XYZ. Phenominal guitar and vocals! This was all the good elements of Dokken, plus even better tunes. I love Oni and George. Robert Mason was killer also! Still love the classic Dokken as well.
XYZ's first album was produced by Don Dokken. He did the backing vocals. You can hear him in the chorus on "Inside Out"
Dokken had better songs than Lynch Mob.
XYZ was great too, both their debut and second albums.
Saw them open for Queensryche in Newport probably around this time 90/91... they were fucking amazing!!!
One of the greatest debut albums ever!! George freaking Lynch !! \m/
THE example of heavy music at its absolute Finest; The Look, the Sound, the Songwriting, there just IS NOT a band that does it any Better. Lynchy is a Genius, and the Lineup of Players Here, Shines!, Head and Shoulders above the rest. There’s simply No Contest. Period
Mick Brown's playing became more ass kickin with Lynch Mob, great pocket and groove!
Lynch was a fuckin' monster back then..."can you play that lead live" ? Yes, my name is George...lol
Awesome album and tour! 👍 Was at the Hamburg gig when they supported Queensryche in 1990 👍😊
george is a BADASS! the best guitar player alive!.LYNCH MOB is highly underated.See them every chance i get.They know how to ROCK!
Wicked sensation was unfortunately released about 2 years to late.
If it came out in 1987 it would have gone plantinum

At the 32:00 mark, "Through These Eyes," One of their best.
Never again I have seen “Through these eyes” live.
The intro is a Bulgarian folk song! Respect Mr Lynch!!!
Thanks, I was just about to ask a question. Thought it was Serbian, sound much alike.
Truly amazing,lineup and songs are killer!! Saw this tour and following one with Robert Mason in Dallas Texas,band was extremely good. Love both early Lynch Mob albums.
GL was at the top of his game at this time I saw them at the channel in Boston and toads place in Conn. Great show smoken guitar playing.
New haven Conn - Toad's Place on York St.

Seen this tour in 91 at the Ritz in Roseville Mi, steel heart opened, one of best shows ever seen, and I've seen ALOT!
nobody can deny that this band sounds good i at this moment in time fantastic
Before calling people dumb, look in the mirror. This concert is at the Festival Hall in Osaka.
Thank you very much for this. I saw them at First Avenue in Minneapolis
Always Cool when the Bands had the Hiar the Look and the Cool Music
George was at his pinnacle!!!
I went to this concert at Newport Music Center I'm Columbus Ohio back in '91 - it was AWESOME!!
I love hearing people say: “Shit, I can play that.” And then they play the riff perfectly! But the question is, can you create that? Obviously not. (Personally, I don’t care!

Awesome 😊

They weren't the same without Oni. Great plain hard rock at its best.

I was there. this was not Osaka Dome. But the show was pretty cool!
George Lynch best guitarist ever 💋❤️🔥💯
Wow! You can even hear the bass guitar...and from a VHS recording?
Completely killer, No filler
32:26 trought these eyes 🔥🎸🎶
no oni no lynch mob. end of story. oni was the real deal
Oni, Yes, unfortunately. Well..substance abuse..
Robert was a shoe in
Great Stuff
this concert is totally awesome, especially for 1991.
確かにこれは、大阪ドームでは無いですね。
1991年1月21日とMCで『ＯＳＡＫＡ』と叫んでいるから 尼崎アルカイックホール ですね。
私もここにいました。10列目51番。ちなみに5500円ですね。
生のジョージリンチは、最高にカッコ良かった(^O^)／
Oh ya? That guy might not have known the name of the place except Osaka Dome ,Lol!
i was the 2nd raw 'n in front of Anthony. I got Mick's stick :))
Master Lunch'd been really awesome well as now \m/
Saw Lynch Mob on the U.K tour back then October 1990. Brings back great memories. My Love affair with George's playing was well underway! And it still is. Great footage Dude.
Seen em in Grapevine tonight. They sounded fantastic an
Damn breh, I was 10 days old here
the Osaka Dome is what I read from my DVD notes, oh well....very nice show
Oni Logan on lead vocals and Anthony Esposito on bass. Mick and Anthony played on the next album as well, with Robert Mason replacing Oni on vocals.
Hearing this now.... "Rain" should have been a video instead of W. Sensation cause WS and River of love are similar and Rain is just killer....
Thank you for posting
For a Million Years...on a THRONE OF SKULLS!!! You get it, George!
Wow, awesome performance by all. Lynch and Logan really should make a full length CD and not tease us with a few new songs.
+SkullCrusherSR71 There are 2 new ones out now! "Sun, Red Sun" and "Rebel"... pretty sure they are working on #3 as we speak!

Killer video upload... thanx much man!
Fine form and Great!!!
Thanks for post dude! remind me when i was young....Ciao from Italy.
Even though it's not a great quality recording, the guitar overdrive sound is incredible. Wonder what he was using?
Rob N. Probably an old school ibanez tube screamer
He was using a Soldano at this time.
THE Perfect Heavy Rock Band of All Time . PERIOD! Sadly,a little too late ! fair to say, George doesn’t own ONE flannel shirt 😁
Dude, have I told you that I love you today? Well I do. THIS IS FRACKIN' AWESOME!!! THANK YOU!!!
very good!
Love the bell part on river of love lets roll baby lynch ruled in 1990 yo 1993
There he is! My freakin HERO!!!
The opening background musivc is Bulgarian folklor motives!

Mind's Eye Muse keep in mind he's 60 something. I'm turning 60 this year and aint nuthin like 25-30!
I hope he doesn't drink much or smoke any more either. He's sixty-something and he's had a prior heartache from years of smoking and steroid use.
Love his solo blues album
@@Daviddaze what's the name of that album? Haven't heard it

George Lynch & Mick Brown..what more do I need to say...
Beautiful album, the only band i listened and liked from George.
Perhaps Don Dokken has lost his voice, but he definitely deserves respect. Even Oni has trouble singing Dokken songs. Don had a seriously high voice…
Don, back in his day, had a serious "head phone voice" - combination of vocalist and laser light show - he really took you "into the songs" - what a Force of Nature - thanks Don!!

i never knew that mick brown was in lynch mob who was the lead singer and bass player of this band
It's at the Festival Hall in Osaka.
