This kicks ass !!! Priest only gave them a half an hour, but unlike most headliners they gave their back up band a great mix. In the 6 times I've seen Priest the support acts sound fabulous. This sounds great coming off the laptop. George, Randy & Eddie... the 80's... Best!.. 2 thumbs up !!

Gotta give some credit to the musicality of Dokken as well in this performance as well, they did have a great mix but the band seem so in sync with each other. Lucky this one was recorded!

Saw Dokken touring the same album later in August of 1986 as support for Loverboy. They played the old Memorial Auditorium in Greenville, SC. Loveboy was solid, but I thought Dokken was more energetic and firey that night.

This is gonna make the rounds. I wounder if any of the guys have heard this or know about it? UPDATE: I just finished listening to this. I only had time to listen to 2 songs at a time over a few days. I think one could see Dokken and company getting bheind this like when Dokken released the Live 1981: From Conception. The recording for that is better than both Breaking the Chains and the Tooth and Nail LPs. I always had an issue with the quality of those studio recodrings. It literally sounds like 4-track basement tapes to me that was mixed to sound like an LP. I always wanted Dokken to re-record those songs back in their prime years. Like maybe around 1996 between Dysfunctional and Shadowlife. Even the re-record of their Greatest Hits later on isn't very well recorded, but that has already been well documented.

@@harrygoff1656 IDK... It seems he always has something negative to say about Dokken and those years, but I could be wrong. He could be laying that stuff heavy with the sarcasm. I think Lynch and Dokken shouldn't work together, if I were to travel back in time to when Lynch rejoined Dokken right before Dysfunctional I would have told Don, don't do it. He's not here to make a great Dokken record. That is the vibe I got from Lynch over the years and the one time I met him.
@mineofilms9 ай бұрын
@@thomastapley1685 I agree. I updated my original comment to ad that Don should take this and give it the Live 1981: From Conception treatment and release it. I felt this really does showcase the band in their prime and sounds way better, raw like this than what we got with BEAST FROM THE EAST. However, the RETURN TO THE EAST and LIVE FROM THE SUN are great live records from the Band.
