The band that openly hated each other offered this one parting shot, buried on a live album ("Beast From the East"). It's a good one, a sorrowful tale of a relationship that ended leaving confusion and longing in its wake. George Lynch's solo work on this song carries forward his bombastic effort from their final LP "Back for the Attack" and Don's voice is magnificent as wails his way through the song, at times seemingly screaming at the skies. Yes, Dokken's music was at times contrived and sophomoric, but I find this song to be honest and full of emotion. I only wish this band had a chance at one last long player, but alas it was not to be (excluding their mostly ill-fated reunions and retooling lineups).
