Rating: Summary: A Dokken fan dream come true. Review: Dokken was one of those bands from the 80's that was kind of ignore by the critics, but not by the fans. A lot of the songs like "Alone Again", "In my Dreams" (one of the best songs on this DVD), "Paris is Burning" are still landmarks of the heavy/hard rock scene from the 80's.This DVD has superior quality in sound and images with a lot of creativity on the "sub scenes" featuring clips from their original videos. Also there are 2 excellent unplugged songs taken from the "One Live Night". The interview is also interesting which describes a lot of the turbelence behind the downfall of the band during the late 80's. Reb Beach (Winger, Alice Cooper) is an excellent replacement for George Lynch and in some ways he is even better!!! I think this DVD is one of the best around, not only for the music but also because of the quality and the information that it has.

Rating: Summary: Don't waste your money Review: First off, it's not a REAL DVD (meaing formatted in 16:9 or 4:3 aspect ratio). Second, whoever that [person] was that edited it I'd like to slap that person. I love Dokken and this video totally [disappointed me]. The numerous split screens and jumping all over the place got old FAST. If you can find it used on ebay for $... it's ok, but don't [throw] away your money on this [poor] editing.

Rating: Summary: live from the sun dvd Review: I also own the dvd version of theirprior release and this totally blows their prior release away!!, the video and audio quality is certainly top notch, if you are a fan of the hair days (as much as we all admit) this brings back the old days with a flury, don't miss the chance to own this one!!
Rating: Summary: GREAT VIDEO Review: I'm a huge Dokken fan. This video is excellent. Worth every penny I paid for it. Reb is great on the guitar. Don's voice is still as sexy as ever. I would highly recommend this video to anyone who is a Dokken fan.
Rating: Summary: Dokken keeps on a Rockin! Review: I've been an avid Dokken fan since they first broke onto the music scene and own several of their albums. Once I saw this DVD I realized that it had to be added to my collection. The music and detail of the video are excellent with one exception. The constant sub screens that jump from scene to scene during the first couple songs tend to leave you a bit frazzled. But if you endure them long enough the better effects are demonstrated...especially in the song "Too High To Fly". I had not heard that song before and think it is the best song and video on the DVD. If your in the least bit a Dokken fan this DVD is for you.
Rating: Summary: Just what I expected Review: I've seen Dokken twice in the last year and this DVD is true to their shows. Straight ahead rock/metal without any extras - in other words, no extravagant stage set. Just 4 sweaty guys. Reb is a great guitarist and fun to watch (but George is still my favorite). I wish there would have behind the scenes footage, although the interviews were good. Also, I would have liked more straight ahead stage shots without the split screens but I didn't find the camera work annoying. I can see myself popping this in the DVD player for a quick fix of a song or two when the mood strikes. In closing, long live 80's style metal. Those of you who grew up on Maiden, Ozzy, Priest, Ratt, etc.. know what I mean.
Rating: Summary: On the Edge Review: Of all the "metal bands" of the 80's, Dokken keeps rock'n and stays on the edge of technology. This dvd is excellent. I use 5 channel digital stereo sound to blast all speakers LOUD!. 5.1 just doesn't give its' due.Sound and picture are excellent. The dvd includes (1) song not on cd. Very well put together. Don was into it, Jeff as always great.One of the best. If you still rock, get this one.
Rating: Summary: A few steps below perfect Review: Ok, I have to admit, Reb Beach did an excellent job replacing George, but it just isn't the same without Lynch. Audio and video are outstanding but some of the effects have me wondering what Don was thinking. Perhaps if I smoked a joint I would appreciate it more <just kidding>. Wild Mick Brown deserved more video time and "Alone Again" needed George's unmistakable sound. Still, this is a (must have) for any Dokken fan.
