Many have been asking more and more DOKKEN, so let’s listen to this 2-CD titled “Live… ’95“, capturing the band’s mid-Nineties reunion for the album ‘Dysfunctional’ and its tour. Additionally, the release includes an awesome, raw recording at the Hollywood Palladium, Los angeles, CA, 1985.
Dokken officially first split in 1989, however by 1988 the band was broke already. However, and after starting solo careers, Don Dokken and George Lynch initiated conversations in 1994 for a reunion, write new material and record a new studio album. Released in 1995, and despite (again) tensions between Don and George, ‘Dysfunctional’ and ensuing tour were a success.
This lengthy set performed at Summerfest in Milwaukee on July 3rd 1995 was originally broadcast on WLZR-FM, and captures the quartet on fiery form as they tackle a selection of recent material and older classics.
As extra and completing Disc 2, we find Dokken’s 1985 performance at the Hollywood Palladium, which, as a friend of the 0dayrox team said; “this give you an idea of how hungry and feral they were 40 years ago!”

We always try to present here only well captured live recordings, and while the sound quality of the Milwaukee 1995 show isn’t the best, it’s nice to have for its historical relevance – there’s no official live recordings from this tour. The band rocks hard, however you can hear how Don suffered from his voice problems at the time.
The pearl of this release however is The Hollywood Palladium 1985 gig – recording quality is very good, and the band sounds wild, in flames!
