Dunno. From what he's been saying in the new interviews for their newest album, grudge is still there. He still takes time to say he still wanted Warren DeMartini instead of George, that he really didn't want to bring George on stage for stuff like this and he doesn't see himself playing with George again in the future. They just don't connect well and George is too different now as a player than he was back then and thinks it hurts the songs.
I love Dokken, he is out there doing what he loves. And I respect that. Yes his voice is gone but we will always have the years and years of a magical singing voice , for now he is still here and that is enough for me!
Cancer and paralysis after a back surgery will do that. George will always dissapoint fans by doing 12 projects a year and refuse to tour for each and every one.
The George of Dokken days played much better than Mr woke Lynch of today. He used to be more "found" in his style and it was amazing sound and quality. Today, he is throwing finger picking and other tricks he has learned and traded over the years for the stuff that got him there. Look back at their video they did before they released Back For The Attack with him and Pilson simply jamming in a hotel room in "Scrotum Sound"...that was George at his best. Don wasn't the only one waning on this stage.
@@FullChokeFowl I disagree completely. I think the finger picking and all of the other "tricks" he has added to his playing over the last few decades have made him a more multi-dimensional player. To me, Lynch has always been extremely unique not only in his playing, but his note choices. All of the things he has picked up and added to his playing over the years, IMESHO, have made his performances that much more rich. I love hearing his new interpretations of things he wrote and recorded 40+ years ago. For example, when he's performing Tooth and Nail in this video, in the lead sections he is making sure to hit all of the "things that got him there" (ie: trem picking and hammer runs) while ad libbing and being a little more funky in the rhythms and spaces in between. Also IMESHO, his best era was that of Lynch Mob, not Dokken. Wicked Sensation, though a little self-indulgent, is a guitar masterpiece and absolutely Lynch's best body of work overall. Easily in my top three players of all time.
Was at this show, it's what you would expect. What was unexpected was hanging out in the lobby of the hotel drinkin beer well after the show when Don and his band walked in, got some pics, chatted for a bit and listened to him tell a few stories to a group of about 15 of us. Very cool guy
George looks like hell as well as Don. I still remember seeing them live back in 1985 at the cow palace San Francisco and George did his solo and the two guys next to me said to each other, ' holy shit lynch is awesome,!!!'
Unchain The Night is one of my favourite hard rock / metal tunes ever, the original from Under Lock & Key is simply fantastic, stick it on in the car on the way to work, you soon forget about work for 5 minutes! George is in his 60s, close your eyes and you'd think you're listening to a firey 25 year old. Great post, Cheers...
@@badmonkey2222 these are the songs George wrote 35-40 years ago. The man can over play what ever he wants. Go listen to lynch mob total different style
George is still smokin', and while time has taken its toll on Don, nothing but respect for him to still be up there, and anyone is lucky to see him period. He is a legend.
I saw dokken at the monsters of rock back in the 80s at giants stadium. It was a long 9 hour event with other bands such as kingdom come, the scorpions who were amazing, Metallica and Van Halen who ended the show. So glad to say I saw eddie even just one time. Glad I got see dokken perform. Great memories.
Saw the one in Philly in 88’ was a monster show imagine Metallica going on 2nd but they’re handnt broken huge yet at that point … I got way too hammered on Jack N Coke and smoked a little too much weed and passed out after 3 VH songs on the parking lot and slept until my buds woke me after the show 😂🤣
Was at the show in Philadelphia in 88’ as well spent 2 days partying in the parking lot.. things much different in those days! Was only 10 rows or so from stage when Metallica came out.. was awesome to see them in their beginning.. and Dokken was amazing! Always be a fan of the original guys! To bad we are all getting older.. miss the 80’s bands and shows for sure.! \m/ rock on!
George still has it ,you know it seems the older top rated guitar players get they just get better and better ,hes one of my favorite players he has his own style no one can match as do many others ,I love it
I am thankful to see these guys are still able to perform. Let's not compare from 80s, we are in 2023 and this is still rocking for me.. I am already in my effing 40s and it gets me thrilled every time I listen these awesome songs.
Awww man, poor Don, it is so obvious he is really unwell... struggling to even walk. Total respect to the guy for being onstage with George and taking the stage to share his music even in times of hardship 🔥❤️🔥
Unfortunately Don is no longer able to sing these songs today. I love Dokken, but listening to them like this breaks my heart. Now Don sings undertone, while George is impeccable.
Much respect for don, the man tries to stay his happiest, he is 70 after all, people cant sound good forever, in my opinion he doesnt sound bad, hes just a singer without his high range anymore, ill always respect him no matter the cause or situation hes in.
To all the people complaining about Don Dokken's vocals.. Who cares because with George playing in the background, you could have a 90 year old man singing and it would still sound like 10,000 humans being repeatedly stuck by a lightning bolt.
@@rickr2029absolutely! At least he’s not lip syncing or using tracks. You gotta understand dude singers age the worst because they’re not using their hands to play music they’re using their voice which tends to get more strained as we age and Don’s almost 70. I’m sure all the drug use in the 80s didn’t help either.
I was fortunate enough to see these guys back in their hay day. It's hard to see time taking its toll... its course... but I will forever remember them on those stadium and arena stages just kickin' our butts from the first song on! George, Jeff, Mick, and Don... thanks for all the great music you gave us!
I never thought these two would ever be in the same room together, let alone, play music. I'm watching out of nostalgia. Don's voice has been gone for a long time. George sounds as good as ever. Never met Don but have met George on two separate occasions. Both times he was friendly, seemed genuinely grateful for the fans and was up for a photo and conversation. Great band. Part of the soundtrack of my high school years. Thanks for this video!
A special shout out to the drummer and bass player for keeping pace with a legendary guitar player like George while carrying Don through the waning years of his life. 14:53
The drummer lost the beat around 11:45 right before George started his solo...you see him walking back to get the drummer back on the beat. He added an extra measure in there.
Give it up to Don for still performing and singing at his age especially after having throat surgery. All the people criticizing him are a joke, just be happy and STFU!
I think the sound guy can only bring the mic up to a certain level because the more he brings it up the more the loud guitar or anything loud on stage goes into it and it just gets more washed out. I mixed monitors for UFO and everyone's stage volume had to be turned down (and willingly) to bring the vocals out front cause that's what people want to hear and sing along to.
Awesome to see these guys on stage playing together again. Dokken one of the best rock bands to come out of the 80's. Man can George Lynch still play like he was in his 20's. Keep rocking guys cause age is just a number 🎤🎸🤘.
@@nickjohnson3622 atleast he is pushing himself to do what he loves instead of just laying around to die. If you cannot respect that and obviously there are still people who wanna see him then we can agree to disagree.
@@KISSFan1977 ... If you can't deliver the goods, you have no business being up there. What if George had debilitating arthritis? Should he go onstage not being able to play? Don's been through a lot granted, but he's a singer who clearly can't sing any longer. It's not about him, it's about the audience when you're an entertainer ... Otherwise it's all about you
@@nickjohnson3622 if people are still paying to see them that in itself speaks volumes. You might not wanna see them but you do not speak for everyone.
Good lesson to learn to enjoy the little things in life each day instead of taking them for granted as you age. That said... I'm glad I got to live those days in the '80s with the best rock and roll music era ever! IMO Good hard rock is coming back again and for good reason! The talent coming out these days is incredible! Keep rocking 🤘🤘🤘
I truly marvel how George always adds new takes to his originals. He has a creative flair which he consistently evolves and tweaks with new twists and bites into these classic tracks. He was always my personal favorite and remains so today.
Take note youngsters this is what a rock and roll band sounds like live warts and all, huge respect to Don not using tracks and being himself . Mr Lynch where is that crossroads?........
Don's still having fun, nothing wrong with that. Lynch is still insanely good. Easier for a guitarist to stay good over the years than a vocalist. Staying healthy is super important; George obviously is, Don obviously not.
None of us will live forever. These guys wrote some killer songs. Props to them for still putting on a show, even if its not these same show it once was. George is freaking killing it.
Don's been at it since the mid 70s His heart and mind are in it. It's just a fact everyone does it. You just need to hear the song like most 65 year Olds sing them tuned down a little bit. Once you accept that you enjoy the great Don Dokken the songwriting legend on stage it's a rare opportunity today.
I saw them live a few weeks ago. I've seen these videos, so wasn't expecting much. However, in person, he didn't sound nearly as bad as this. He doesn't have a powerful voice so I think phone recordings pick up the music better than his voice. I enjoyed the show much more than I thought I would.
I still have my old lee jacket today with a Dokken Patch on it with all the rest of other metal patch bands Judas Priest /Motorhead /Pantera/Venom /Ozzy/ and others .. Feel bad for Don Dokken needs to retire gave us great music years ago still listen to the old music until I die! 🤘💀
The biggest reason I picked up the guitar.I heard IN MY DREAMS and it was a total WHO THE HELL IS THAT?I was 14 and the journey began.I could talk for hours of why he is still my favorite in the Metal /Hard Rock genre.My hero will always be a guitarist named George Lynch aka- MR SCARY,and I'm quite happy to say that.
I love Don. If anyone deserves a little help with backing vocals from his older concerts it would be him. I wouldn't mind a bit. George is a beast. Kills it every time!
Love the memories of the 80s with Dokken, there just comes a time where it’s okay to put it to bed and move on. Let people keep those older memories of when these songs were played at high level. George is still shredding, but yeah…
At one point during Tooth and Nail... the bass player and drummer are looking at each other smiling, and like.... damn look at that old guy. That mfr is one bad ass guitarist. LOL Made me smile too.
My favorite guitar player is George Lynch. I used his LTD GL-500K guitar in my rock video " No One Ever Got Sick From Smoking Tires." In my video, there's an aluminun DOKKEN casting I made in 1987 in shop class, lol. The video is on youtube.
I agree ,nothing negative to say about Don here ,it's hard to hear what they truly are sounding like through this recording, and I must say that after almost forty years ,it's fricken awesome to hear ,and see them playing together!!
George Lynch was a monster hard rock/metal guitarist 4 decades ago, and it's awesome to see that he is still performing without any perceived degradation in his talent to absolutely shred that old tiger striped Charvel even now that he is nearly 70yrs old!
There is no Dokken without George.
For anyone wondering about Don. Remember he had vocal chord surgery *and* cancer treatment around 2010.
The wonders of decades of smoking.....
Just like Eddie Van Halen the dam cigs 😢
He shouldn‘t try to sing then
Just happy seeing these 2 on stage again. Life's too short for old grudges.
Yeah definitely 🤘
Dunno. From what he's been saying in the new interviews for their newest album, grudge is still there. He still takes time to say he still wanted Warren DeMartini instead of George, that he really didn't want to bring George on stage for stuff like this and he doesn't see himself playing with George again in the future. They just don't connect well and George is too different now as a player than he was back then and thinks it hurts the songs.
The Grudge lives on! George just now called Dokken out for all the lying he does.
@@johnbon6 excatly! even now in 2024 it continues I see Robbeck67 hasn't responded to acknowledge anything
Don has these cameos with Lynch to sell tix
I love Dokken, he is out there doing what he loves. And I respect that. Yes his voice is gone but we will always have the years and years of a magical singing voice , for now he is still here and that is enough for me!
Anyone that ever played guitar knows how good George is...smh...he's incredible
I've never played guitar and I think he's F-ing incredible!
@@renogordoMe too!!! 👋
The first satriani.
Hes great. But hes still all over the place in this performance. Period !!
Randy Rhoads said in his opinion that George was the best guitarist to come out of the late ‘70s L.A scene, between him, Eddie and a few others. 🫡
Those instantly recognizable semi-tone slow bends, so melodic and emotional. You know a George Lynch lick the moment you hear it.
Nailed it ~
Sadly Don's singing days are over. George will always be in my top five guitar players!
Cancer and paralysis after a back surgery will do that. George will always dissapoint fans by doing 12 projects a year and refuse to tour for each and every one.

Total respect for Don!!! George and Don are legends of our time!!!
I hate it when people nag on don for his voice, thank u for being respectful to him
🎸🙋♀️Yes they are our incredible legends. I love & respect them too! My x husband’s name is Mark Smith😊
@@ToriS61910 I don’t understand why some people are so mean.

Amazing how George live can sound like he's playing multiple parts at the same time.
I think he kinda is ;)
He's definitely gifted
George is so good, it makes the awful vocals from Don stand out even more.. If i was Don i would be embarrassed.
the best!!! good for don and george!!
George is killing it in every way. His guitar sound is astounding. Some how age has taken a back row seat with him. Way in the back somewhere.
It's because he plays 24/7. He is awesome!
He watches what he eats, gets the appropriate amount of sleep for his age, exercise and doesn’t drink.
I wouldn’t imagine that one’s guitar tone diminishes the same way one’s voice would.
@@davidjtravers
Precisely. A little louder for those in the back. Guitars aren't biological like Don's vocal chords. Especially with throat surgeries.
George looks like hell as well as Don. I still remember seeing them live back in 1985 at the cow palace San Francisco and George did his solo and the two guys next to me said to each other, ' holy shit lynch is awesome,!!!'
I am glad I saw Dokken open for Aerosmith...
In the late 1980s.
Yes! Me, too! The Summit, Houston, Texas!

For where he's at now, 67 or sometihng, f****** still shredding, unbelievable.

I seen, ya its cool George is doing this, not many times left
His back surgery and paralysis really fucked him up. Looking forward to the new Dokken album regardless.
Poor Don. He should know better ! Hang it up ! I have no pity for him.

I wish that was the case but George can't stand Don he still hates him.
You can tell George is playing even better..seems like he is being driven by emotion....
Me and my buddy used to try to play Lynxh riffs when we were teens. What a amazing rhythm and lead player. He's still amazing!

Man that dude can make a guitar sound so cool! More please!

Always have loved George ripping it up since my youth. Wild to think he was 31 when Unchain the NIght album came out, my absolute fave.
Somebody please tell Don it's time..

Back for the attack was my very first cassette tape - always loved the sound of Dokken

I say see’m why there still around!!
George still rips.
Yeah, he's been keeping his chops up. Someone of his skill level can lose it if not properly maintained.
Lynch still has got the chops and man - the guitar sound !!
That one has to go to twelve.. Sounds fantastic.👏👏👏👏👏🥳👍
Love the memories of the 80s with Dokken, there just comes a time where it’s okay to put it to bed and move on. Let people keep those older memories of when these songs were played at high level. George is still shredding, but yeah…
At one point during Tooth and Nail... the bass player and drummer are looking at each other smiling, and like.... damn look at that old guy. That mfr is one bad ass guitarist. LOL Made me smile too.
George kills it!! Top 100 greatest guitarist of all time. Listen, and you’ll know why!! Rock on George!! Lv. Nv. Brian🎸🎶🎶
George still slayin it!!👊🏻😝🤘🏻
When all the greats are gone from the 70's & 80's, there will be no more music on the planet even worth listening to.
nice to see Don back on stage, sadly, not sure how many shows he will do this year, but good luck Don!!!
My favorite guitar player is George Lynch. I used his LTD GL-500K guitar in my rock video " No One Ever Got Sick From Smoking Tires." In my video, there's an aluminun DOKKEN casting I made in 1987 in shop class, lol. The video is on youtube.
I agree ,nothing negative to say about Don here ,it's hard to hear what they truly are sounding like through this recording, and I must say that after almost forty years ,it's fricken awesome to hear ,and see them playing together!!
George Lynch was a monster hard rock/metal guitarist 4 decades ago, and it's awesome to see that he is still performing without any perceived degradation in his talent to absolutely shred that old tiger striped Charvel even now that he is nearly 70yrs old!
Killer tones! Wonder if Lynch is plugged into those Marshalls, or maybe a mini Soldano somewhere back stage?
One of the true greats!!! Love these guys , still till very day I listen to them!!!
Still love George's sound!
