One Live Night

L.A. melodic rockers Dokken broke up at the height of their popularity in 1988, just as they wrapped up touring as part of the mammoth US MONSTERS OF ROCK tour (headlined by Van Halen) and were enjoying one of their most commercially successful records, BACK FOR THE ATTACK. The members went their separate ways for several years (Don Dokken released a solo album, Jeff Pilson joined Dio, while George Lynch and Mick Brown assembled a whole new band, the Lynch Mob), but none of their post-Dokken projects were as successful. With just about every dormant hard rock act reuniting in the mid/late-'90s, including Kiss, Motley Crue, Iron Maiden, among others, Dokken patched up their differences and issued an in-concert, all-acoustic set of greatest hits, 1995's ONE LIVE NIGHT. Featured are unplugged but still powerful readings of such Dokken standards "Unchain the Night," "Alone Again," "In My Dreams," and "It's Not Love," as well as covers of the Beatles' "Nowhere Man" and ELP's "From the Beginning."
