The singer is a clown you can't even hear him

At this time Mick, Monty and Greg moved into a house 5 doors down from me. since we had cars and trucks, we were hijack into part time roadie for them. after the shows. I would Play Back Gammon with George until his wife would come and get him, he said it kept him out of trouble . it was fun times, and a experience i will never forget,

Interesting, not a lot of ripping solos like later on in dokken. Fun to hear the early days. Thanks

This singer is homeless in Venice beach

Lynch and Brown were two lead guys for me. I was never a fan of Don. Vocals not bad , His Ego was worst than Greggs . Hard to do. Lol

What can be said that already hasn't been stated? Bill Nelson's style is unique and unmatched imo. Wonderful piece of music. This musician hasn't got the credit he surely deserves.

Lynch solo reminds me of Michael J. Fox guitar solo Back To The Future. A lot of gibberish. LMAO. Obviously young here and got better.

That Bill dexicated a song to Stewart is touching. Stewart was a major talent that Bill sheparded along in the beginning but of course ad a true talent he found fame if not some fortune. I'm sad that Stewart isnt stiĺl with us.

Simply has got to be the greatest by Bill

I thought Don wrote all their songs?

One of Bills very finest. I saw him do this live at Nelsonica 2012 - in York. . It was even better live. A true 'happening with tapes' and 'even more than international'. 😊

It’s funny how everybody talks how wild and crazy it was back then. They act like people were jumping off the walls and partying. But when you see the crowd footage of motley Crue, exciter, etc. they all just stand there like they’re bored out of their mind. Funny how these bands remember things so much differently. Bunch of BS.

Goerge , Randy and Eddie where making waves in those days. Xciter opened for Quiet Riot and Randy said in an interview that George was the only one that made him nervous. And oh by the way George and Eddie took guitar lessons from the same teacher. 🤔

Lynch is the only one who stands out here. It is obvious why this band went nowhere.

gregg stanford’s vocals are amazing

Thanks but sadly have to agree with a previous commenter that the audio is strangely noticeably worse than previous uploads on this channel. @deckard236 if this is your personal footage it would be great to get it professionally transferred and shared as DVD/mp4 (not on KZbin) to preserve it for fans.

I think the drum riser has “legs Diamond” on it?

So, therefore narrow minded and dull

Let's not forget that Eric Clapton is a racist

I can see why that singer never made it he sucks.

Pure Class.

bill is up there with any axe man you can name

All Ways great to see old videos of a master guitarist kicking his foot through that door.

Fair to say dokken / lynch influenced early american heavy metal just as the brits did, clearly punk roots in this one

20 years gone - not forgotten.

man did lynch look weird whit that haircut😂😂😂😂😂

Love it!

I had this video on vhs back in the 80s

Stunningly beautiful.

Who was the headliner?

50 years of pure magic, Bill is the greatest musician you've never heard of..... We are truly blessed that a creative force in music still works in and out of the system...

thx

just because you have a front man look doesnt mean you can be a front man. this guy fuckin sucks. im sure george lynch is greatful that he met don dokken

That singer was useless.

This is actually pretty damn heavy for 1979.

I noticed that George never plays the fills the same way each time, he improvises.

Dear God what happened to the sound? The original 3 uploads you had of this show weren't nearly this clipped to shit.

I was doing George's/ Xicter's spotlights !!! 💥😎 Miss these days .....

Lol. I think they wanna burn this. I'm going back to watch Dokken, c ya

After the Halen's come many bands started to copy it.

opens and closes with e-bow. nelson was apparently adamson's role model for guitar playing within a song, setting him on the road to being a songwriter (as did punk). before that I think he aspired to be a r'n'b/blues soloist a la Rory Gallagher, i.e. with adamson's first band 'tattoo' that did cover versions, but that format/style wasn't really a vehicle for developing as a songwriter. some of the guitar lines here remind me of some of adamson's vocal lines (can't tell which), but this sounds a little closer to steve vai/joe satriani territory on guitar. I like the title of this unavailable cd: 'romance of sustain'. electric guitars sustain like violins and apparently with the e-bow could sustain indefinitely which is possibly why it wasn't necessarily user friendly. like how BC used it, though, now and then...nelson's use here is no doubt meant as a nod to that.

Why does Xciter look like Dysfunctional era Dokken?

DAMN!!! George had tone even then!!!!!

40 years later, George is still rokken, Though I will always miss him, playing guitar in Dokken.

Loved Bill Nelson and all his solo works and in particular his style of guitar playing!

This is definitely a top song from brilliant Bill.

This deserves more views. What year was it? Really cool to see George's earlier playing. His awesome vibrato, face-melting tone and unique attack all seem pretty well developed already here. In terms of pure, wild abandon, and especially in the context of the solo that precedes it, the lick at 5.14 is insane 😊.

Ya, good vid.

When is this? 80-81?

I’m glad he learned to write good lead breaks. This ain’t so great IMO.
