Never listened to Dokken. Althought it's a straighforward cover of EL&P's song, it's pretty good, certaintly not disrespectful of the original. I read on WIKI that w/ this semi-acoustic live album recorded on their '95 tour, MTV had no interest in hair metal bands & wouldn't give them an Unplugged shot. Well, they sure cared about hair mental in the 80s! Too bad, this is nice.
This is one of those rare cases when the remake is better than the original. Just a pretty sad excuse for a video for it...it is interesting (if that's the word for it) however to see just how much George has - er - GROWN in size over the years....anabolics, perhaps?
I gotta say, his treatment is definitely the best tribute I've heard yet. ELP is one of my faves, especially this song. Got a kick out of some of the facial expression at the beginning. Realizing that this video is comprised of many live performances I didn't know if the beginning was actually this song. My amusement was that some of the facial expressions seemed like "What?" "WTF is this? Hey, that's not bad! Hmm wonder if it's a new release...?" LMAO Great job on the editing.
@Dokkenfan88 I saw them just on 3/27 in MN here, though it was a small venue, his voice was pretty worn out. They sounded pretty good overall. Someone posted 'Dream Warriors' from that show here on youtube
@Dokkenfan88 lol your a idiot..ya im talkin about myself haha hey man if you want to live in denial thats cool dons a self centered prick and a drunk he can barely keep a range these days so he gets the crown to try to sing most the songs for him
@Dokkenfan88 i saw them this year and it hurts to say that he doesn't put any energy into his performance anymore he gets short winded to easy that he doesn't hit the high notes long enough
my man is so jealous he cant even watch... how does that make me feel. good...

@cdkronberg The guy is 58 years old. I think some people do need to give him a break. The fact that he is still touring at that age is incredible.
