4 out of 5 stars Very Old School Dokken.......2006-11-27

If you only know Dokken from their slick, 80's hair metal heyday, this 1979 (yes, 1979) EP should prove to be quite enlightening.

Back in the Streets contains early recordings and live performances from the band prior to their debut album Breaking the Chains. The songs on this EP are about as far removed from the band's later albums as possible. This is a pure hard rock band - Dokken prior to the hair metal scene's explosion. I happen to think Dokken's best albums came from that era, but it is still fascinating to hear the band back when they were influenced more by Y&T and early Aerosmith than Motley Crue. In addition to 4 studio tracks, Back in the Streets offers 2 live songs, one of which (Prisoner) bears little to no resemblance to the later Dokken song of the same name.

It may not be the Dokken you're used to, but it is still well worth checking out, especially if you're a serious Dokken fan.

NOTE: Despite what the previous reviewer has stated, George Lynch was the guitarist for these songs. He's even credited on the back of the album with helping write the songs.

2 out of 5 stars Not a bad Demo but some of you have incorrect information!.......2006-09-02

To the reviewers who praise George Lynch's solos on this demo... Did you know that's not George???

Don is the only member of Dokken on this album that went on to actually be in Dokken when they did Breaking The Chains.

Don't believe me? Look it up on dokken.net

5 out of 5 stars Great EP! Wish there was more songs!!!.......2005-09-11

This EP is a demo from 1979 that was stolen from Don Dokken and released. There are some great songs here which is why I wish that Don Dokken could get the rights to this and remaster and release because these songs are excellent.

1.Back In The Streets- 10/10 Great title track. Excellent riff. The guitar tone is great aswell. Of course Don Dokken's vocals are excellent too. A great solo by George Lynch too as George throws in an Eddie Van Halen type solo(short solo with a some shredding and a lot of dives) But he doesn't sound like a clone. George's second solo is very similar too. But anyway this upbeat opener would fit perfectly in a Dokken concert now.

2.Felony- 10/10 Great song with some cool lyrics and a cool crunchy riff. Of course Don is great here. George's solo here is great now more Randy Rhoads influenced on this song. Another short song too.

3.Day After Day- 8/10 A pretty good ballad. Although it sounds very dated it's still a good song. However it's not up to par with the first 2 songs. A very good solo by George Lynch again although this one is slower and fits the mood of the song. Although it sounds dated Don Dokken's vocals still sound very good on it.

4.We're Going Wrong- 10/10 A great catchy song here. This could have easily been a radio hit and George's solo is excellent as always.

5.Liar(Live)- 10/10 A great high energy live track performed perfectly. This sounds like it could have been a big hit and George's blazing solo is amazing again and Don Dokken throws in some great screams too. Don also shows off his vocal power at the end with a 13 second note hold

6.Prisoner(Live)- 10/10 A great change here with a slow rock song. This also has George Lynch's best solo on the whole EP as George gets over a minute and a half to shred! Don throws in another great vocal performance on this track with some more screams at the end of the song.


This is a must for every Dokken fan. [...]

The band is

Don Dokken--Lead vocals/guitar
George Lynch--Lead guitar
Juan Croucier--Bass/vocals
Mick Brown--Drums

3 out of 5 stars Interesting piece of heavy metal history............2002-08-02

First of all, this album was NOT recorded in 1989. It was a demo that was recorded before their 1st full release. You can hear the talent and the song-writing potential here, but the band is still pretty undeveloped at this point so this couldn't fairly be comprared with anything they released on WEA or later.

There are some good songs on this - "Prisoner" is my favorite. "Prisoner" shows up much later on their "Back for the Attack" CD, but this obviously was reworked extensively by that time. This is also the case with "Felony". The re-working was a good idea because the later versions of these songs are far superior to anything here.

The production is actually pretty decent for a demo. All songs can qualifiably be said to be recorded in Hi-Fidelity.

'Not a bad listen, but this is one of those 'for fans only' records.

5 out of 5 stars D O K K E N ! ----> My favorite Heavy Metal band........2000-07-12

Definitely my favorite of all Heavy Metal bands I have ever heard. I've heard almost all of their albums, and I keep coming down looking for more, the magical blend of Don Dokken's voice, Pilson, crazy Mick and the guitar magician George Lynch is just fantastic. Try out their Tooth 'n Nail, Beast from the East or the one and only BACK FOR THE ATTACK ! , no words, just pleasure.
