What Billy White & Norum pulled off here is legend ! Arguably one of the best tandems ever ! I’m a Lynch guy but I think this is the best Dokken album ! It’s truly a crime that there’s no quality video footage of this tour & it was one & done ! One of the best albums from the Hair Era !
My son and I asked Don a couple years ago if he knew of any quality video from that tour. He said he wasn't sure. Hopefully something will surface. At least we have the studio album and some enhanced video footage on TH-cam. The album is a true masterpiece. My 21 year old son learned most of the guitar parts when he was 15 and 16. We listen to it all the time. I do believe Up From The Ashes and Def Leppard's High N Dry are two of the best guitar rock albums of all time. 🤟🎸😎
agree Billy White and Norum created some magic and both ripped. I think this was the best album as well...these songs are classic and still sound great.
You said it my friend a place and time gone,......poof 💥 😢... I mean what do you want dude, the bass player from Accept, the drummer from King Diamond both in their prime, Don in his prime still, and just a time in music when everything was magical and music still meant something to people. I am blessed to have been a teenager in the eighties and was able to live it, I regret nothing and cherish everything from that time. 🤘🏼☠️🎸
Not the best album but a ridiculous live band I mean what do you want dude, the bass player from Accept ,the drummer from King Diamond both in their prime!
I was at this show. Great venue. Saw many others there Slaughter, Steelheart, Hardline, Danger Danger, Vince Neil, Lillian Axe, Arcade with Pearcy and Coury on drums. Ahhhh, the memories....
I love Don Dokken ! What a line up ! The git from europe , King mikky dee drums , from moterhead ! So tight. Don is one of my idols. He did not get into the coke! What a come back. I love Don interviews also , tells the truth how music biz is. Im very proud he did not burn his brain out. Keep going Don, check out the new Dokken album also ! Love Don ! Stay clean ! 🎸
Both guitarists actually do a good job of aping Lynch, so it really does sound like a lost Dokken album, albeit with a little more pop sheen. All great tracks tho. Check it out. Cheers!
The band he assembled was amazing and what a great record they made. Really wish they would have stayed the course and released a follow up Money called to reform DOKKEN

I saw this tour! Dokken played DC's legendary Bayou in Georgetown. Blonz was the opener. Wore my concert t-shirt until it was threadbare. Great memories!
Band sounding considerably tighter than the "Dokken" lineup ever did. The guys in THIS band actually liked Don and were not a bunch of ungrateful shmucks. Too much?
I wanted to go to this show soo bad but I was 14 and it was an 18+ show. Then I find out they did an in store appearance at Down In The Valley in Golden Valley. So I could have at least met them and got their autographs. I've been a Dokken fan since I was 11 when Back For The Attack was released. Thank you for sharing this!
I seen him at a medium size club this same year in Grand Rapids Michigan. It was Club Eastbrook back then and eventually The Orbit Room. One of the best venues in the midwest for years.
I think when your a mid sized cityyou see more of these venues but as Grand Rapids has grown over the last 30 years we have a 15k seat arena and now a 12k seat amphitheater that is being built next to our Grand River that runs right through our city. We still have a medium size venue names GLC Live that seats 2600 plus a large floor.@@stephensanchez9590
Bro I got Shitty faced there about 1,000 times ! Loved that place. Caught a drum stick from Bang Tango there once. Seen Dream Theater there, for free,.. before they made it big, talked with Jason Bonham one night who was just hanging out the night before his gig, The band that night was DuBeel. Countless others. Great times for sure !
Yes and no. This was back in the early 90s and since then the city has exploded. We now have a 13k capacity arena, a 3k capacity downtown venue, the famous "Intersection/SectionLive" since 1972. It has 3 stages, main holding 1500 and now we're getting a 15k capacity amphitheater on the Grand River in 2025.@@stephensanchez9590
*It's not love* not only included a bit of Accept's *Balls to the Wall,* it also features the audience participation for a part of *Princess of the Dawn.* Good stuff from a great lineup. Thanks for posting.
This Don solo record is fantastic from start to finish. Does anybody know if there are any live soundboard recordings available from this tour? This is an audience recording and just not something I am interested in hearing. Thanks!
I mean what do you want the bass player from Accept, the drummer from King Diamond both in their prime Don in his prime and it just breaks my heart the sad state of music today but I relish in the fact that I witnessed this era first hand and continues to influence everything I do in music.
Huge DOKKEN fan but very disappointed that he let smoking destroy his voice. The one damn thing I'm glad I quit over 12 years ago. They destroy lives and damn good voices.
Your rite he sure had one of the best voices of the Era it definitely effected his voice he should have quit Im still a huge fan seen them this year and in 2000 4:06
In 2012, Don had overcome stomach cancer, radiation treatments and vocal-cord surgery, and had lasting physical health limitations. Then he had to have neck and spinal surgery in early November 2019. There were some complications; Don's right arm and hand were partially paralyzed as well as overall weakness in his body. It's a wonder that he can perform at all. Few vocalists can hold up this long with this style and demand from vocals.
"Up from the Ashes" is a beast of an album.
Don in his prime! Billy White and Norum!! ❤
And the bass player from Accept and the drummer from King Diamond both in their prime! I mean what do you want!! 🤘🏼☠️🤘🏼

@@chrisdestefano8315 it also aged very well !
This band rocks fucking hard. One place in time. Gone. One of the best guitar solos ever

Great lineup
This band was so good. I wish it would have continued.
I have always thought this might be the best Dokken album of all... and live it sounds like the new lineup was on fire!
Agreed. This is a no filler album. Great from beginning to end.
No chance. I disagree 1,000%. Back for The Attack is the best. There is no filler on that album
Not the best album but a ridiculous live band I mean what do you want dude, the bass player from Accept ,the drummer from King Diamond both in their prime!
Probably Dokken’s best line up !
Best Dokken lineup ever...
Mickey Dee is a Beast! The double kick drum is 💷 pounding
I was at this show. Great venue. Saw many others there Slaughter, Steelheart, Hardline, Danger Danger, Vince Neil, Lillian Axe, Arcade with Pearcy and Coury on drums. Ahhhh, the memories....

Amazing lineup and the proof's in this show.. I never gave that solo album a shot. Gonna rectify that.
Both guitarists actually do a good job of aping Lynch, so it really does sound like a lost Dokken album, albeit with a little more pop sheen. All great tracks tho. Check it out.
Cheers!
Mikkey Dee drumming up a storm; he'd later go on to revitalize *Motörhead.* John Norum of *Europe* on guitar.
Don’t forget the incredible Billy White from Watchtower on guitar as well. He’s ridiculous and a good dude.
Definitely give up from the ashes a listen to that album is fantastic it's rite up their with the best dokken albums

What makes you think mick and Jeff hated Don? lol
Who said anything about "hate" ? "LOL" ? Do a little Dokken homework before you run-off with-the-mouth. Hate is a pretty strong word.@@chad9166
@@chad9166you’re right it was just George at that time.
@@chad9166they didnt hate him but the at least at the time they where morons lol😅
@@nahuel2201 How?
Rare track! Thank you very much! Don's vocal is amazing!
I was there, and also hung out with them @ Down in the Valley a record store in MPLS. Mirage was a great venue built for live music!!
Love this album would have been a great show to see in a smaller club in Michigan instead of a big venue
Seen them at Ritz in NYC , they close with Accept Balls to the Wall , it freaking blew the roof off

I was 15, almost 16 ... lol
Well dammit if I didn't have to listen to this in its entirety!
Sounds like a high energy show.
They just keep popping up on the Tube.
Buen Registro 🦾💀

Great Album. Great line-up. Ballesteros from Accept, Dee from King Diamond, Motorhead, and now Scorps. Normally from Europe.
Great line up. They knew the writing on the wall and split
The mirage was a great club. Saw a lot of bands there
Man I stlll miss the Mirage! It was the only place in town that specialized in metal, back then!
Saw them in NY. What a great lineup!!
*It's not love* not only included a bit of Accept's *Balls to the Wall,* it also features the audience participation for a part of *Princess of the Dawn.*
Good stuff from a great lineup. Thanks for posting.
MASSIVE INFLUENCE IN OUR BAND
The Hunger 🤟
Yes
Oh Don wasn’t sick or had a headache or an upset stomach a migraine a broken arm a stubbed toe no monitors short in mic etc… etc.
My home ever
This Don solo record is fantastic from start to finish. Does anybody know if there are any live soundboard recordings available from this tour? This is an audience recording and just not something I am interested in hearing.
Thanks!
Pretty sure this is all you're gonna get. Take it or leave it.
Wish there was video for this ❤
I miss The Mirage Nightclub, I have seen so many bands there back in the 90's, including Iron Maiden in 1996. Talk about tight standing room!!!
Mötley Crüe was like that in 1994 too.
Right before grunge took over and ended Hair Metal for the '90s
The band is bitchin'!
Fucking spell check!
Good
Did you by chance record Dream Theater when they played at the Mirage in 1994?
I went to that show but didn't get a ticket a head of time and it was sold out. I was able to buy a shirt so I have a tour shirt.
Nope. Missed that show.
Love. G Lynch version of band but daaaam!!!! This version of the band is a beast !!
Got home

Oh and good thing he steared clear of the Drugs according to Don. Lololol
Halford smoked Coverdale smoked PLANT smoked. More excuses from a lazy fuggin vocalist.
@@PaulyV56 That is funny when you think about it.

What bands was Billy White guitarist in?
The only one I can find Is Watchtower. I couldn't tell you what they're famous for.
@@WhipsAudioBootsNCrap Thanks I found the watchtower albums it was kind of hard to find they are a metal progressive band
No Tooth and Nail?
Told you
Blue

Эта группа меня не чем не удивила!!!🤔
He'll no
Thanks for sharing! This is the best crowd I’ve heard! Don and the band are on point! 🤘🔥
John Norum , Mickey Dee damn supergroup 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🤘🤘🤘
Peter Baltes the bass player from Accept!!? All in their prime.
Opens with a Lynch song...... Don - always the thief
