my claim 2 fame is back in the 80"s i was working in a carpet store when Mick Brown walks in and orders some carpet! i was sooo in awe that i couldn't even talk to him! (i was a huge Dokken fan by then) anyway he leaves, i look out the window and he drives off in a brand new burgundy corvette with "DOKKEN"on the license plate!!! BAD-ASS!!
Its sad. Don said in an interview that around 2010 he was doing a tour in Europe. And he started having this weird taste in his throat like iron. It turns out it was blood. He went to the doctor and they said you blew a vocal cord, and you need to stop the tour NOW, and have surgery immediately. He DIDN'T, and did the last 10 shows - permanently injuring his voice forever. He did get the surgery eventually, but the damage had been done. This guy at his peak - around 1988, was one of the best screamers and rock singers there ever was. But the only reason they did this was for money. Don and George can't stand each other, and Don looks like he is bored on stage. But you're cheating the fans with this vocal performance. He used to be a 9/10, this was like a 4/10. Sad.
i've meet George Lynch. kind of a prick! seemed very tired of being recognized. this was just a few years ago . . . .. . . shit he probably is ur just not supposed to let the pubic think that dumbass! lol!
Mick seems really cool! i've met him at 1 of the bars here in phoenix. short hair and everything! lol! i never told him about the carpet store. didn't wanna seem like a dork! lol! btw dude, Maiden rocks!
gregoryvanhalen what’s with all the Don is done shit? The man blew his vocals. The mans just doing what he loves ease up is all I’m sayings. Lynch is still kicking ass btw
I love dokken they are awesome band.i grew up listening to their songs.i don't care how dokken sings now as long the song is the same tq all of u in dokken
Fuck. He's done for sure. Playing acoustic show in Houston tonight. I'll have to pass. Have seen them and him 15 times since '84. I have my memories and TH-cam \m/\m/
Don SHOULD take over on the Bass and let Jeff Sing!! That Way the FANS Get the Best Possible Performance from the Band! There are MANY Metal Singers that STILL Have Their Voices TODAY. I'm Sure if they Couldn't continue Singing LIVE(Brian Johnson) they Would STILL WANT the Fans to Be Entertained to the FULLEST at Shows!!
I just watched this song from 1999 wit Reb Beach on guitar and don still has some fire in him, watching these "reunion" shows it seems like Don just doesn't give a fuck anymore.
Isn't that what Don is essentially doing with the current version of Dokken by having 2 hired guns (Jon Levin and Mark Boals) in place of George Lynch and Jeff Pilson?
Kapn Krude the most recognizable member of most bands will always be the lead singer. Replace them and it's not the same. Rarely has a band replaced a lead singer and had better or sustainable success.
Don has zero enthusiasm anymore, need to get him a Walmart scooter to cruise around the stage on. Can't sing worth beans...Cool to see original lineup though, Lynch, Pilson, and Wild Mick still kill it \m/
I saw Dokken back in the summer of 2000 when it was 3/4 of the classic lineup with Reb Beach on guitar. Don looked bored even then. He just casually strolled out on stage, wearing all black with black sunglasses, propped his foot up on one of the floor monitor wedges, leaned into the mic, and basically looked and acted like a 3rd-rate Jim Morrison. I'm sure he'd rather be back at the old-folks home drinking prune juice and watching Matlock reruns! LOL!
Nice to see them together... but Don's voice..? It was a lazy performance. .. sure he can't hit some of the notes but even the lower notes are being virtually spoken...
Killer tune. Not sure why Lynch is using a Fender or whatever. Doesn't have the bite or pinch harmonics like an ESP or Jackson. Check out Kiss of death Live Philadelphia 87.
Saw them in Merriweather (MD) with a different guitarist a few years ago. The band sounded killer, Don spent more time pointing his mic at the audience to sing his parts. He looked like Marlon Brando and seemed lethargic. The other bands (Extreme & Ratt) looked healthy and sounded great. Sad.
Don used to have one of the best voices in rock but too much smoking and stroking his own ego has left him with a very limited vocal range , lizard lounge range is what I think they called it! George on the other hand, absolutely killing it!!!
After so many years since Back album. Don Dokken is the lamest..the rest of the band is holding ground..but Don didn't hit one high note thru out entire song...and their in Eb tuning..reminds of DLR of VH talking through songs of Epic portion...this band ended cuz Don is douche..looks like he's put several buffets out of biz too..lol.
Ouch. Man Im sorry I came to watch this. Don should not be singing anymore. The rest of the band is great but the voice is totally gone. I hate this so much.
Ill never understand why anyone would use a Fender anything live..you can use them in the studio, because you can manipulate the tone, but LIVE? come on

Too awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Was it a brown carpet? Ha Ha!
Who cares about anything...
If they are alive and they want to do it that's awesome!
It's better than "I wish Dokken were around"...
I went to their show yesterday. They were great. It's just that they changed a bit. It was not embarrassing.
I really enjoyed it.

Don doesn't sound too bad either, voices change over time, guitar playing lasts for ages, as long as you don't get arthritis
Terrible vocals. Embarrassing
gregoryvanhalen what’s with all the Don is done shit? The man blew his vocals. The mans just doing what he loves ease up is all I’m sayings. Lynch is still kicking ass btw
This is the Dokken I know. George Lynch still kicks fucken ass!
George is amazing. He's killing them chords and to this day still the best. A God on the Guitar!!!!
The instrumental is "Without Warning" from Tooth and Nail
I love dokken they are awesome band.i grew up listening to their songs.i don't care how dokken sings now as long the song is the same tq all of u in dokken
I’m just glad I got to see them in the 80’s.
LOVE DOKKEN!!
Wow that ride cymbal was ridiculously loud.
I wonder how many overdubs Don will have to make for the TV broadcast in february of the Loud Park highlights...
George Lynch still kills it!
Thanks my fave band for reuniting basically only in Japan! >:(
ﾄﾞﾝﾄﾞｯｹﾝ声出て無すぎで悲しすぎる。。。ほんと泣けてくる。。。im just so sad to hear dons voice...
Jeff Pilson kicks ass!
Fuck. He's done for sure. Playing acoustic show in Houston tonight. I'll have to pass. Have seen them and him 15 times since '84. I have my memories and TH-cam \m/\m/
This makes david Lee Roth look good
Steve Dunch it’s a shame because I love them both and they both are in my top 3 Frontmen
Fucking hell lynch killed it!!! That solo!!!!
I love George's brown sound, it sounds more real than EVH's these days.
flashy5150 took the words outta my mouth! Great tone. \m/
Great riff and that solo kicks ass!
Conner O'Reilly Thats because George Lynch rules!
Don SHOULD take over on the Bass and let Jeff Sing!! That Way the FANS Get the Best Possible Performance from the Band! There are MANY Metal Singers that STILL Have Their Voices TODAY.

Rich Vee yeah that shit made me pick up the ax in 2008. Btw Don had been sick; cancer & surgeries.
Don is fucking this up
nobodys perfect?? This is just horrid vocals.
Lynch,Pilson,and Brown should go on with that singer from Rainbow. Don is done
u can't replace the vocalist! if you do they will sound like a cover band!! . . . .never fails
Isn't that what Don is essentially doing with the current version of Dokken by having 2 hired guns (Jon Levin and Mark Boals) in place of George Lynch and Jeff Pilson?

Journey is doing pretty good.
RJC 72. Its his band it started in the late 70s as Don dokken
Don sounds like hes reading poetry instead of singing
Don sounds pretty good here 👍
Plus he's almost 70
4 unique notes without ever looking at the band mates. like a metal Gregorian chant. george still rocks..
best song
I feel bad for Don.
Don Dokken and Paul Stanley should do a duet!! Would be KILLER!!!!!!!!
Don has zero enthusiasm anymore, need to get him a Walmart scooter to cruise around the stage on. Can't sing worth beans...Cool to see original lineup though, Lynch, Pilson, and Wild Mick still kill it \m/

Veo flojo cantando , tanto tiempo escuchándolo esta vez lo veo sin ganas.... el resto de la banda excelente como si fuera ayer. DOKKEN RULEZ!!!
Why? Just Why?
Hope Don's voice gets better, even if he gets that raspy mustaine voice on dystopia
I love lynch guitar tone holly fuck
Killer tune. Not sure why Lynch is using a Fender or whatever. Doesn't have the bite or pinch harmonics like an ESP or Jackson. Check out Kiss of death Live Philadelphia 87.
The three kings Van Halen Rhoads Lynch.
I see Marshall and Friedman heads, but no lynchbox randall heads?
Don is still fucking awesome!!
At talking songs? I think you mean was awesome on recordings...
Uh, hmmm. Wow, Don is still getting dogged by that feedback! Your vocals Don, what's going on? Or not going on?
Don needs to add an E at the end of his name. DON is DONE... DONE DOKKN scrabble
ericvocals Thats a good one. Youre right though.
Please stop! It's embarrassing Tarnishing a legacy.
complacent as hell
Don Dokken is turned down ?
Saw them in Merriweather (MD) with a different guitarist a few years ago. The band sounded killer, Don spent more time pointing his mic at the audience to sing his parts. He looked like Marlon Brando and seemed lethargic. The other bands (Extreme & Ratt) looked healthy and sounded great. Sad.
ボーカルひどいｗ
George is fantastic, Don looks and sounds like a bad tribute singer.
Don may not have the voice he used to have but at least he's still up there on stage kicking ass!
'not' kicking ass... only up there for the money, not proving anything other than he HAD a past.
Keith. When dons not singing with them it's a tribute band
Don used to have one of the best voices in rock but too much smoking and stroking his own ego has left him with a very limited vocal range , lizard lounge range is what I think they called it! George on the other hand, absolutely killing it!!!
Same thing happened to Bon Jovi. Took up smoking in the 90s. Now, sounds awful.
ドンドッケンはヤル気あんのか？ハイトーンが出ないならライブやるべきではない！客に失礼だと思います！
The stay puff marshmallow man sure looks different when he is wearing a wig and black clothes
I loved dokken for the guitar solos...not the vocals!
After so many years since Back album. Don Dokken is the lamest..the rest of the band is holding ground..but Don didn't hit one high note thru out entire song...and their in Eb tuning..reminds of DLR of VH talking through songs of Epic portion...this band ended cuz Don is douche..looks like he's put several buffets out of biz too..lol.
Sorry, don has seen better days he should just hang it up
Don has no range anymore.
Ouch. Man Im sorry I came to watch this. Don should not be singing anymore. The rest of the band is great but the voice is totally gone. I hate this so much.
Hmmm, I wonder who the weak link is with the band these days? lol
Embarrassing..... good God. George, yes! Don, hell no..... wow. Why bother??????
what a lazy vocal performance
No shit, embarrassing vocals
아니 무슨 타령하는것도 아니고..아무리 세월이 흘렀다고 돈 도켄 너무했다...
공연하면 안되는 수준.
全然声出てへんやんけ！！
Don can't sing anymore
全然声でてへんやん！
Ill never understand why anyone would use a Fender anything live..you can use them in the studio, because you can manipulate the tone, but LIVE? come on
Bob Vinson Thats a Custom ESP. He had it made to look like a Fender Strat. He only plays ESP Guitars.
Don Dokken is done. His voice is shot. He can't song his own songs any more. It sounds awful
terriable
what a pity. It's awfull.
thats awful
