DOKKEN at Loud Park 16 / Don't Close Your Eyes Live in Japan (Saitama Super Arena), 8 Oct 2016 Don Dokken (Vo) George Lynch (G) Jeff Pilson (B) Wild Mick Brown (Dr)
Lynch 62yrs and Still Killing it... It's so easy for me to keep up with his age Because I was born 9-21-74 and he was Born 9-27-54. Exactly 20 years and 6 days apart in age Plus I started Playing at 10 years of Age and He did as well... 32 years for me and 52 years for Him... Awesome He's been playing over Half a Century!!! Damnnnnnn
There was still a whoa moment in that solo around 2:32 that would send the little guitar boys like myself home crying. lol This is definitely a nice version of half assed.
People keep dissing Don but I actually like that he doesn’t try to sing like he did in the 80s. He’s aware that he can’t so he compensates and does well. I’d rather hear someone sing and stay within the melodic structure and right key than to sing something they can’t anymore and hit sour notes. You sound good Don. Now poor David Coverdale… that’s another story.
Its even more unfortunate that they waited this long to get back together.. Father time comes calling very early for aging Rock singers especially ones that sing so high like Don.
He could get some of his old voice back if he wasn't so stubborn like Axl Rose. They think they are above taking vocal lessons. Not necessarily be able to hit those high notes, but he could get some of that gravel and power back at least.
Great song and band but Don's voice was already on it's way out here. There's no way they could ever do this again because he just talks the lyrics out now.
I wish they would have played this back when Don could still sing (and remember the lyrics), and George could actually play the rhythm part correctly. Oh well, i guess this is better than nothing...
If you listen Jeff’s backing vocals, you begin to realize he is singing the lead. Don’s on the bottom of the vocal stack (where Mick used to be). Don’s still out front, Jeff and Mick are doing the heavy lifting vocally. George can’t sing, so don’t know why he has a mic in front of him. Probably to get under Don’s skin. Jeff’s the most well rounded musician in the band, always has been. A true rocker and pro.
@@leeperkins5845 no I don't have it anymore, the finish got all scratched up and I ended up selling it. The new ones are actually really radical though, I recommend you check one out. It's am incredibly surprising 180 bucks

Brian's your dead cousin? Awww..

@@mathiasjensen1503 Well good for you! 🥴
George mick and jeff are the soul of dokken.....Lynch mob rules!!!!
George Lynch is playing half assed here. And still sounds better than most guitarist at thier best. Lynch Rules!
There was still a whoa moment in that solo around 2:32 that would send the little guitar boys like myself home crying. lol
This is definitely a nice version of half assed.
Dont get me wrong, i love Don Dokken, but years of that lifestyle caught up with him. The guy can barely sing, but hey, they still rock.
Ah yes, the lifestyle of cancer and chemo that he didn't ask for.
One of Dokken's heaviest songs!
I love George Lynch so much.
GEORGE LYNCH. GUITAR GOD
🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
LOVE THIS JAM. . GREAT SONG OFF A GREAT ALBUM.
TOOTH AND NAIL. .
Absolutely shredding it😊
It's kind of strange seeing George and Jeff trade stage sides as compared to the 80s.
Back in the day, you couldn't really find George near a backing mike. That's a welcome change.
Big advantage with the use of in ear monitors now. Back then they had to stand behind their respective wall of amps to hear themselves.
Just badass! 🤘🏻😊

It makes him a better singer, because he can adapt after a battle with cancer.
Just remember people, Rockin' rimes with Dokken!
Love it
I see Don could sure use one of those telleprompters to feed him lyrics.
Not to hate(I love and grew up on Dokken) but everyone else is on their game. Always have been.
Great fucking performance!
It's so unfortunate that Don's voice has gone so far south.
Its even more unfortunate that they waited this long to get back together.. Father time comes calling very early for aging Rock singers especially ones that sing so high like Don.

that's what all those Marlboros and 7&7's (booze) will do to your voice...lol...
Agree
Frank Erickson You know ots bad when Georgw sounds better than Don
Or atleast almost
Linda Tripp is singing for Dokken?

Don might as well mailed this in only thing worst then Dons performance is Joe Elliot's half ass performance s.
Maybe Pilson should just sing?

Turns his back to the audience while playing solo. C’mon man!
Don Dokken looks like someones grandma.
Don Dokken is the Jay Cutler of hard rock metal vocalists. Had all the potential , however arrogance gets in the way .
Or cancer, but feel free to make ignorant comments you cro magnon.
I was stationed in Spain and bought Tooth and Nail on cassette when it came out and have been Rockin with Dokken ever since. George Lynch rules!!
