Dokken--Beast From the East

Dokken--Beast From the East (1988) Rating--8.5 **U.S. Sales Certification--Gold**

An adequate live album, although several songs were axed from the tape-to-CD transition. The sound quality is also to be commended.
"Mr. Scary" is played flawlessly, as are the rest of Lynch's solos. Also includes the studio single "Walk Away," a sort of power ballad in the mold of "Alone Again". A feisty Japanese crowd adds to the electric atmosphere; top highlights include "Unchain the Night," "Into the Fire," and "Breaking the Chains".
HOT CHOPS--Check out the vocal harmonizing that is added right before the solo in "In My Dreams"---a nice touch. Also, Lynch serves up little licks all throughout. Adds a lot over the studio versions of the songs.
