Thank the holy Jesus to have a recording board operator that obviously love Georges playing and knowing his abilities at this time in his career to CRANK his monitors on the soundboard… Bless you whoever you are for this is the one and only time recording in their hayday that George is heard properly. As for the rest of the band, kudos to all of them. There is a buzz now in 2023 listening to this about bands playing absolutely live and was taken back to see Jeff playing the keyboards and not hiring someone to play them, or to run a keyboard track…. They did it all LIVE and that’s what’s probably the most amazing thing…. Totally LIVE mix as it should be. Wish more bands would do the same but unfortunately it’s a new day, age, and so easily done on an Apple Tablet to just fill in all the stuff you want… I hate it!! And will always give bands their kudos to doing it LIVE!!!! People do not give into the backing tracks BS, we have lost so much of what is actually real at live shows!!! This is the way it was meant to be and they knew it nearly 40 years ago…. Enough said!!!!
I have been a DOKKEN Man all my life. I had the best workouts in the gym listening to their music. Lynch & Hendrix are the top 🎸players in my book. 🤘🎶👍🚘
My man you are absolutely 💯 right about the 80s.. I was born in 74 so I had the privilege to grow up to 80s metal and it was the best decade of my life ❤🎸🤟
@@Man91571 You weren't listening to the right stuff. The 80s had that horrible new wave synth crap and then metal bands were just copycats of each other. Don't get me wrong, I like Dokken, Maiden, Journey, Guns n Roses, Megadeth, Overkill, Whitesnake
During this time Dons vocals were great but Mick and Pilson are sooo good and provide excellent backup vocals. Of course Lynch not only has phenomenal solos but his rhythm guitar riffs were some of my favorites of the time. When I was just learning guitar In my Dreams was not only enough of a challenge but really fun to play. I must have worn my cassette out rewinding it over over trying figure the solo out by ear. Lol. Good times.
And a very cool dude. I met him at a Pat Travers show in Sacramento sometime around 2006. My buddy was drunk as hell and needed to go outside. Mick and the girl he was with were hanging out by his mini truck and my buddy was hanging all over the side. Mick and I were talking when I recognized who he was. He was totally flattered I knew who he was and remembered the concerts with Dokken. Then his girl is laughing saying my friend was trying to get into the truck. He's at least 250lbs and 6'3". Mick starts laughing when we see the back of his pants and says, "Hahaha...he pissed his pants!" My buddy had pissed himself and had no idea. Then Mick says to me, hey you want a beer? I said cool. Then says, Pat is going on stage. Let's have a beer and go say hi." Mick is the coolest dude I've ever met in a band.
I brought a LYNCH IS GOD banner to the show because as a 17 yo guitar player I believed it. Still to this day I LOVE the man so much. George turned out to be a great man as a person and I could not have been luckier to chase his tones. Still to this day every time I sit and jam through my own real Plexi, as old as me now, its a literal exorcism. You never know whats going to come out, but it always slays. This is one fantastic share my btother, THANK YOU !!!
They were falling apart during this time, which is too bad. Back For The Attack album is amazing. But seeing them play at Monsters of Rock was painful. I felt bad for my favorite band. Glad there are good moments like this to see. Thank you. 🤘
The life Lynch gives these songs is incredible. I grew up in the 80's and respected Dokken, but I recently been listening to them a lot and I'm blown away by Lynch and the sound and style he gave this band in retrospect.
Lifelong all things Dokken, Lynch, etc. fan ever since after walking through the living room / just happen to see the glass shattering video of Just Got Lucky. Totally agree with you coming from a different opposite angle.

Bringing great stuff that is unmistakably theirs, willing to try some new things while staying true to who they are, always bringing new people in without losing sight of one another, give folks a shot at greatness, share the stage with young faces, ALWAYS keeping the fans in mind, etc. There are a lot of great bands out there. But very few have done as much and continue to bring more forward. Your post is awesome. You had respect. Now you see more than ever how dang good they were. Welcome aboard, captain. ;)
George absolutely shreds here. I was 2 years old at the time of recording but if I could go back in a time machine I would. What a bygone era of incredible music!
Hahaha 😝 That’s awesome bro!! I remember when my wife was pregnant with our son. He got to see or I should say feel and listen to. Styx, Scorpion’s, Rainbow 🌈 Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Pat Travers, The Outlaws. All while in his Moms Stomach!! Not to bad of a Pre- Birth Welcoming To This World 🌎 Then to play the Bass for TYRANNY!! EPIC METAL 🤘
(I realize I'm 2 years late lol ) Yes! He's so great that RANDY RHOADS asked him to fill in for him as a guitar teacher at Musonia while he was in England recording with OZZY!
This is AWESOME!!!! I was trying to find original 80s Dokken concert footage - thank you for posting this! There is nothing like watching the 80s bands in their prime and their original era. There is no music today that compares to the range and diversity of music in the 80s. Long live 80s rock music!
George Lynch breathed life and fire into Dokken. First heard Paris Is Burning on local rock radio and knew this guy's guitar was truly something special.
I caught this tour in Houston was sitting low on Georges side ,and when he tossed his Tiger Guitar to his roadie the roadie missed it and it hit a Plexiglass wall and bounced into and out of my hand !!! I was freaked if I had caught it could I run to the car fast enough to not get caught ?? I at least got to touch a Legendary Axe I guess lol Badass show for sure . We left before Aerosmith was half done we went for Dokken , pawned my amp to take my girlfriend at the time and it was worth it !!
The best live footage I have ever seen! The whole band is great but George is ON FIRE! What I would give to have been lucky enough to see this performance or George period in the late 80's! Lightning Strikes solo just blows me away!
Dokken = GEORGE. Saw my first Dokken concert at age 8... Loved George ever since. He always had the best, most iconic guitars. I myself have a few of the esp versions, and had a Bengal custom made for me just like his... Finish checked and all...
Hello Mr. Scary! This is always my go to video for my best memories of Dokken. I was there front row Columbus, Ohio @ The Ohio Center for this tour. You opened for Aerosmith. I've seen you many times. Some of the other shows were with Sammy Hagar, Y&T, & Priest. Hope to see you again!
I rember back in the 80s, I had a Camaro Z28, my girl, Starla, I had a job, an apartment, a mullet, I used to cruise the strip blastin' Dokken and all the hot girls would turn their heads and look at me.
It's coming back with new blood and some strong stuff out of europe. We need it. Ripe with the same conditions as the 70s that gave birth to the 80s. High gas prices, inflation, whacked out job market, old coot in the house, people need a good time, we need a fashion reset, everyone could use a good party, a lot of junk music on the radio, rock needs a shot in the arm, where are all the guitar heros, etc. lol
I was at this show in philly against the stage. They opened for aerosmith. I went to see dokken and wound up getting a drum stick handed to me from Joey Kramer of aerosmith lol. I still have it.
Some of the bands are bringing back cassettes alongside vinyl, custom color vinyl, cd, downloads, signed new release combos, etc. Way too friggin cool. Some of this stuff would probably make a great gift for some of the smarter teens / early 20's folks that love mom & dad's record collection.
Is the audio pulled from the board? It's really good. I saw this show in Columbus Ohio in 1987. December, I believe. Don and George were...not talking...at the time. George played the whole show from behind his amps.
What a show caught them in Saginaw mich civic cntr 87 opened for Aerosmith, seen them at Monsters of Rock that same yr. Wow what an Era to grow up as an inspiring guitar player & still am 🤘 50yrs old Strong 🤘
Eye opening that Don chooses an octave lower on some of the High note portions! Even back then in '87. So basically the studio recording high notes were a One time blessing & that was it. I do Love Dokken. Just realizing that the vocal limitations of DD existed farther back than the last 15 years.
Thanks George! Dude, I always come back to your playing and think wow - that guy is unique! In the best possible way! BTW, did you hear the story about the time one of your solos was playing in the background during an Allan Holdsworth Q&A and Allan stopped dead in his tracks and said "now THAT's a great solo!". Thought you'd enjoy that. :)
What a great show this was I was front and center, it was very loud.What a great hair band they where back around 82 Until 87 they where a hot hair metal band!
hehe me n the guy that taught me to play guitar his name John something er other road tripped that show (Oakland) in his tiny yellow Honda Civic lol, got lost about nine times once we got to Oakland it was awesome 2 lil white punks in a motorcycle engine powered Honda lost in Oaktown.... Great show tho...
Dokken (with George Lynch) was often overlooked when influential 80s bands are talked about. Lynch made sure to get Eddie's advice & approval. He is a top 5 guitarist from that era.
VH Rising talks about George and Ed being buds early on coming up starting out. Differing versions on which one stumbled on the two handed tapping. One had George seeing a blues player do it, told EVH he had to check it out, and take it because George wanted to go a slightly different direction developing his style. Cool read.
We all get lucky sometimes. Some of us more than others. But either way, That’s just how it turns out. M.R. Lynch, We live right next to each other, When your in California!! Let’s Jam With Each Other! “EPIC”
I was at that show, what a fun time to be alive 1987

I was at this show in philly against the stage. They opened for aerosmith. I went to see dokken and wound up getting a drum stick handed to me from Joey Kramer of aerosmith lol. I still have it.
I have seen Dokken when the toured with Monsters of Rock in 1989.
Saw them in 1985 when they opened for Dio Last in Line tour. Was blown away by George! Then Dio. One of the best concerts ever for $13.50
Oh for my young glory days....Top 3 favorite guitar players and guitar sound...play these cassettes until the tape wore out.
Some of the bands are bringing back cassettes alongside vinyl, custom color vinyl, cd, downloads, signed new release combos, etc. Way too friggin cool. Some of this stuff would probably make a great gift for some of the smarter teens / early 20's folks that love mom & dad's record collection.

What a show caught them in Saginaw mich civic cntr 87 opened for Aerosmith, seen them at Monsters of Rock that same yr. Wow what an Era to grow up as an inspiring guitar player & still am 🤘 50yrs old Strong 🤘

George is my favorite guitarist of all time. I may be the only one but I prefer his playing more than EVH’s , May God rest his soul.
Read VH Rising. They were buds early on coming up in the scene starting out. Cool read.
80s music was the best . To this day that's all I listen to. George is going to need a new 'stack' after this show.,probably a new guitar also.
jeff's vocals!
Man, listen to Mick POUND the hell out of those drums! No wonder he's done...he gave it everything he had! They ALL sound great🤟
What a set list 🔥
Rokken with Dokken!
amazing ty

Well, I guess someone is not doing their job backstage. They are too busy snoring and not paying attention to the sound. They sound great live!❤❤❤😊😊😊

Opening for twisted sister, was quite the show!
i was there at the spectrum , come out n play tour
What a great show this was I was front and center, it was very loud.What a great hair band they where back around 82 Until 87 they where a hot hair metal band!
If you don't mean 2087 we will have no choice but to cut your Dokken fan club card in 1/2. lol
Long Hair Rocks 😊❤Killer Awsome Drummer!❤❤❤
DOKKEN（Don，George，Jeff，Mick） is eternal “In my dreams”
It's still the same
Damn wish the Camera could stay on Lynch through the solos really unaware of the sweep in coverage..
hehe me n the guy that taught me to play guitar his name John something er other road tripped that show (Oakland) in his tiny yellow Honda Civic lol, got lost about nine times once we got to Oakland it was awesome 2 lil white punks in a motorcycle engine powered Honda lost in Oaktown.... Great show tho...
In this video either their lip syncing or the video and audio is not linked up
Great!
I have this video tape somewhere. What a great show. Saw a few shows by these guys. Awesome every one
Saw this tour with Aerosmith...fun times and the best guitar playing!
Dokken (with George Lynch) was often overlooked when influential 80s bands are talked about. Lynch made sure to get Eddie's advice & approval. He is a top 5 guitarist from that era.
VH Rising talks about George and Ed being buds early on coming up starting out. Differing versions on which one stumbled on the two handed tapping. One had George seeing a blues player do it, told EVH he had to check it out, and take it because George wanted to go a slightly different direction developing his style. Cool read.
@@RockDawg77 Not true .
Incredible how Don Dokken sounded on vocals back then. It's sad to see him now.
if u were to asked me what's my top 5 80s guitarist, in my opinion
1. EVH
2. VITO BRATTA
3. GEORGE LYNCH
4. Randy Rhodes
5. JAKE e lee
just keep showing the bass player all the time, like he's the star of the show
Pilson is every bit a accomplished amazing player as the rest of the band & I’m a huge Lynch fan
ESP Guitar🤟🏻🔝
There has to be a way to synchronize the audio to match the video here, if they're both from the same night.
We all get lucky sometimes. Some of us more than others. But either way, That’s just how it turns out. M.R. Lynch, We live right next to each other, When your in California!! Let’s Jam With Each Other! “EPIC”
Right sound! keep Rokken
Shredd on Mr scary❤love your licks man metal up my bro HMFFHM 🤘🤙👹
On Fire
Damn Lynch shreds
9:12 drum tech doin a line / bump lower right
I was at this concert. They opened for Aerosmith.
who was better?
Man, what a mismatch of bands though! Different kinds of energy altogether. But I bet both bands sounded awesome 👍
Anyone know who were they opening for that night?
Lynch kicks Ass❤
Love Dokken...still kicks ass.
Is the audio/video out of sync for anyone else? Every concert vid I watch is outta sync.

Why no Unchain the Night?
One of the roadies was snorting coke at the start of Just Got Lucky off the drum riser turns to the camera and wipes his nose classic for that time
My kind of roadie for the times! 1987
🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
George solos always sings perfekt harmony not disharmony...
Mick Brown makes Lars Ulrich look like Buddy Rich
Monsters of Rock, anyone? Metallica, Scorpions, Van Halen, Kingdom Come.
kingdom come got such a bad break they were awesome and underrated
Rice stadium, Houston Texas great show GREAT time!!
They must have recorded over this. Vocals don't sync up. His mic is away from his face but you hear him singing. Plus lip sync looks off.
Dynamite band
Love Lynch. Love him. My vibrato is good almost solely b/c of him. But wow he was such a poser on stage. lol!
frankdrebin me too.
Did they open for Judas Priest here????
Saw this tour in OKC. Such a good show!
And Dokken blew Aerosmith off the stage. And Aerosmith was great.
