Dokken: Live from the Sun (2000 Video) User Reviews

Rockin' with Dokken

[super marauder · 10/10 · 25 November 2002]

My wife is the big Dokken fan in my house, and I got to admit, they rock with the best of them! This is a live concert. One of my guilty pleasures putting it in the DVD player, and cranking it through our Pioneer 600watt stereo with surround sound, and rockin' the house! Watching Reb Beach doing the solo through 'To High to Fly' is absolute magic! I'm sorry, but Reb can play circles around George Lynch, listen to the studio version, you'll know what I mean!

Dokken is one of those bands that kind of got lost in the shuffle in the 80s, and that's a shame. They have a lot of good stuff out there, this coming from an Alice Cooper fan!

Sunsational! DOKKEN!

I grew up in the "Hair Band" era and had the posters, the vinyl and the torn ticket stubs from them all, including multiple shows with Dokken. Mostly them opening up. My band was Ratt, but Dokken just kept getting better while Ratt fizzled with the dried up vocals of SP. Sad. But Don Dokken's voice just kept going and strong. This video/audio is sensational. Live Too High To Fly is one of the best live songs I have ever listened to and I've been around awhile. The entire show is just blistering hot. Pun intended. Reb Beach is awesome. I have always loved George Lynch. I have listened to all of his Lynch Mob material and I'm a fan. But Beach can just perform. What a masterpiece of live music. The sound is just incredible. Its like the difference after an album is remastered comparing earlier live albums to this one. Such a great sound. And like Rockin' with Dokken wrote in his review, it is pure bliss to just put it on the DVD or CD player and just cranking the hell out of it. If you like Dokken or the bands of the era or are just experimenting with different live stuff, watch/listen to this. You will thank me and thank Dokken. Enjoy!!
