Even the harmony vocals are nearly perfect live...

Pure raw guitar tone!!!

aerosmith should have opened for dokken....

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.

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

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

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!

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 guitar makes this song epic

this whole tape was rocking I had it in the day

Dokken one of my favorite 80s Bands love ya Dokken forever🔥

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 KZfaq 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.

That solo man!! just wow!

this is beautiful

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.

So glad someone in this town has a copy of this! I was there and had a blast! Thanks for posting!

listening to their live album Beast from the East, it's well worth it whether you are a fan or not. Some of the best guitar work you will ever here, listen to his guitar solo and mr. scary from the album, too good.

love the simple guitar, vintage trem , humbucker and graffitti!

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 💥💯

Freaking awesome!!!

Rocking with dokken saw them live back home las vegas 🎉🎉

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

man i miss the 80s

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!

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

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😇👱‍♀️

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

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

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

They rocked Everytime I seen them live

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.

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

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

Rockin Dokken!!!

sweat and hairspray ... LOVE 80s metal

sounds amazing live!

Jeff is amazing. Killer vocalist, still. Saw them at MOR with Kingdom Come, Metallica, Scorpions and Van Halen. Great show by all. $25. Memories.

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

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

Aaaaaahhhh... the good old days!!

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

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

Awesome.

I saw them in Richmond, VA which I believe was the next day after this show. They were AWESOME! So was Aerosmith. Great musicians.

goin to see dokken this saturday!

YES!

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

I love it Meynard!!!

Una locura!!!!

Esto si es calidad, no es la basura de las ultimas decadas. nada como los 80s.

GREAT SONG !!!

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.

I like dokken

Hi Rattmaster! Just a short comment. I've been listening to more of their songs and like what I'm hearing. Also putting their music on my play list!!! So far in my dreams this video is my favorite song of theirs.🙂👌👍🤘🤙

Im goin to c dokken this monday

God bless them they were sooo fucking good!!!!

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...

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

Finally, someone who speaks the truth. Rock on man! \m/

wow this rips, Dokken at their peak, within 2 yrs they broke up, never to get back to this form.

Rembering my youth

Dokken at the height of their ability! Fkn awesome

Lynch is a badass guitar player.

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 !

George Lynch was badass!

Dokken Rules!!

i love the old dokken tunes and i agree they are/were so underrated and they had the following just that they needed to breakout and headline shows and had they done that at the right time they could have been huge i love em i had the cassetts always crnked up ion my car and yes i did say CASSETTS LOL peace

I WASS THERE THAT NIGHT!!!!!!!

❤

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

i am a HUGE Aerosmith fan. they are by far my favorite band ever. to hear that another band that i love, Dokken, opened for them is just WOW. I agree with all of you that Dokken has never gotten enough enough recognition, but come on, you gotta have some talent if you are opening for a band as big as AEROSMITH!

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

Wwwow...!!!!!

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

What a band Dokken was in the past.

@Rattmaster86 I was at the philly dokken/aerosmith, I remember it was like a rainy, cold miserable night , and leaving the concert..saw some chick getting pounded in the mud under the bushes right next to the Spectrum..that was priceless haaaa

I saw them few months later in Stuttgart, Germany ...open for AC/DC. Great show...Don wore same outfit...Lot of guitars for George. Those were the days.

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

The original lineup reunited last night and played this song. Look it up.

Thank you. They should have been bigger than a lot of those bands including Bon Jovi. Dokken just had raw talent to offer, and that is something most Americans still do not appreciate today.

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

2:08 George is so fucking awesome...♫♪♫

@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.

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

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.

@hubbell627 Yes I saw Dokken open up for Judas Priest in 86' right after I graduated high school. Great concert at the Hollywood Sportatorium in Miami! That "shoebox" no longer exists since the ealry 90s.

In my dreams.... :)

@Rickmeister3030 Dokken opening for Judas Priest in 1986 on their Turbo Lover tour, in 1987-88 they opening for Aerosmith.

Against all odds... it sounds great

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

Dokken in their fuckin heyday! Love it!

I know I said I wouldn't bother you again but I just heard a song I remembered from the 80's. It's Alone Again! I watched the footage from the 1987 Philadelphia Concert. I was surprised how quickly I remembered it. I heard it on the radio and probably saw the video on MTV. If you have bootleg footage from this concert please post it. Karen🤘🤙👍

Don he was so cute

fuck i had the album beast from the east when dream warriors came out on elm street love the 80s and Mr Scary himself Gorge lynch i always listen to him Randy Rhodes, jakee lee simply cause they were different and beautiful gituarists purely

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

My Favorite too! Greetings from Serbia! George Lynch is the best!!

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 👍!!!
