About Us

Founded in Napoli by Serafino Perugino, as a business specialized in Melodic Rock indie labels in February 1996, Frontiers soon developed as one of the cutting edge indie label companies in Melodic and Hard Rock Music. After a developing a partnership - which lasted the few initial years with the British production company Now & Then (who brought bands and artists like TEN, HAREM SCAREM, CROWN OF THORNS, JORN and several others into the label’s roster) - along with a careful and aggressive A&R policy, Frontiers has soon become synonymous with quality Classic and Melodic Hard Rock, Progressive and Metal music in the international markets.

Achieving this from the headquarters in Napoli, was not an easy task, but the well-oiled and highly ambitious team, managed in a few years to release new albums from some of Rock true giants. The list includes: DEF LEPPARD, TOTO, WHITESNAKE, YES, JOURNEY, ALAN PARSONS, MICHAEL BOLTON, SURVIVOR, SEBASTIAN BACH, STYX, ASIA, JEFF LYNNE and ELO, HEART, BLACKMORE’S NIGHT, GLENN HUGHES, Y&T, FOREIGNER, EXTREME, SAMMY HAGAR, WINGER, URIAH HEEP, DANGER DANGER, RICK SPRINGFIELD, HOUSE OF LORDS, REO SPEEDWAGON, STRYPER, MR BIG, TED NUGENT, NIGHT RANGER, PRIMAL FEAR, NELSON, WARRANT, GREAT WHITE, DENNIS DEYOUNG and many more!

Besides that, Frontiers also set up during this time many exciting new projects and bands to release of Rock's finest voices, or give some still established artists the chance to show a new side of their musical personality! Shining examples are REVOLUTION SAINTS (featuring Deen Castronovo ex-Journey, Doug Aldrich ex-Whitesnake and Jack Blades of Night Ranger), RATED X (feat. Joe Lynn Turner, Carmine Appice, Tony Franklin and Karl Cochran), W.E.T (with Jeff Scott Soto and members of Eclipse and Work of Art), THE DARK ELEMENT (featuring ex-Nightwish singer Anette Olzon and ex-Sonata Arctica guitarist Jani Liimatainen) not forgetting the evolution of KANSAS' Billy Greer and his SEVENTH KEY release, from a studio project to a real live band and the stunning PRIDE OF LIONS, featuring former SURVIVOR main songwriter Jim Peterik and vocal star Toby Hitchcock.

And of course a ton of exciting new talent launched during the years (from ECLIPSE to ONE DESIRE and INGLORIOUS, to CRAZY LIXX, LORDS OF BLACK, WORK OF ART and of course several others) which is now where the A&R focus of the label is.

Frontiers Records' foreword has always been to dream together with the thousands of people that love quality Rock music. Achieving this means constant hard work from a well-oiled and highly ambitious team at the Frontiers Records headquarters in Napoli, Italy.

Editorial Reviews

Dokken cemented their status as one of the legendary hard rock/heavy metal archetypes of the '80s rock scene with numerous successful albums and tours, evergreen songs and music videos and a lore that will live on forever. The tumultuous relationship between band members is well documented, but in 2016 the classic original line-up of Don Dokken, George Lynch, Jeff Pilson, and Mick Brown reunited to play the world famous Loud Park Festival in Japan.

excellent quality in the shipment and presentation of the cd. Musically a very good effort in the editing, whether or not there have been overdubs in the voices and the annoying cuts between theme and theme because the songs of the setlist really come from different shows. George, Mick and Jeff, excellent in the musical part, the Voice of Don could never be the same as the years and excesses charge their price, as well as the way of George's playing , who experimenting with various styles away from the metal they charge him the price when executing his old songs with Dokken, although he manages to compensate well in the solos when he strives to execute them with the aggressiveness and style with which they were created and recorded, for those who are fans of the original line-up of Dokken, this will be a very good job with the original members and quite old in age, the video does not reach excellence is bad for nothing, maybe the effects were not the most appropriate, but the set list is incredible and seeing them together again with some better vibes it is excellent for those that we saw Dokken shine in the 80's and 90's.

My review is based on the fact that I was sent a defective CD and my Amazon "return window" for returning it has closed. I buy roughly 200 CDs a year and it takes a long time b4 I have the time to get to each one. Today I opened this for the first time and the CD has something wrong with it and comes up as "NO DISC" on all of my players. I will try to contact the manufacturer at this point to see if they will send me a working one. Buyer beware....

UPDATE: Thankfully the label FRONTIERS were GREAT about this and sent me a new & perfectly playable CD. I want to thank them for that and have changed my rating for this release to 5 stars!

I bought this as a fairly decent Dokken fan back in the day and out of sheer curiosity. Fans expecting a true rock concert will be disappointed as obviously this film has been Frankensteined together from multiple video and audio sources with many notable overdubs. And it's this patch work quilt style of production that gives this DVD it's charm.

Poorly shot footage of the warm up gig in South Dakota comprises the first 40 minutes of the "concert portion" of the DVD. Ocassional shots of a Japanese stadium are hilariously interspersed in the first few songs. Then the producers change approach and use some really dated split screen and other "cheesy" special effects. It's also funny to see Don Dokken getting utterly pissed during "Paris is Burning" when he has trouble with his in ear monitors.

Then "kiss of death" starts and suddenly the band is in front of a Japanese stadium. Only the audio doesn't sync with the video of either the Japan or South Dakota footage used during the song. I'm guessing they just recorded the whole song again in the studio and then tried to paste it on top of existing footage.

The backstage interviews and footage are actually pretty good. I find it particularly amusing when Don calls Jeff out for not interacting with the crowd enough on the first few songs when we've just witnessed Don not interacting with the crowd for the entire show!

A word about the music. After the initial shock, I find myself kind of liking Don's low note approach to the tunes. It really shows off how important Jeff's backing vocals are to the overall sound. Speaking of Jeff, you can finally hear his bass on this recording. Also...The new song is better than I'd thought it would be, and the acoustic bonus tracks are well done with Don especially capturing some of his old glory.

Personally I think this is a great sounding live recording. I don’t understand the negative reviews at all. It sounds powerful and clear. Especially for the simple set up and minimal amps. If I didn’t see it I’d think there was a wall of amps behind them. And there’s definitely nothing wrong with Don’s voice like people are saying. So he sounds a little older. Still sounds great and sings excellent. I love the simple stage set up without all the flare. The good ol’ days.. I think it’s better than the first Beast from the East. My opinion. But wish it had about 5 more songs though.

Dokken is one of the few '80's "hair metal" bands that I actually enjoy. I really haven't listened to any of the stuff they've done since Lynch and Pilson left but this caught my attention simply because it was done by the classic lineup. Personally, I wasn't disappointed. Lynch, Pilson and Brown are spot on. Don Dokken seems to have lost some of his vocal range but that's not a deal breaker for me. I've noticed that a lot of singers' voices tend to get deeper and lower ad they age and Don is no different. All in all, it's a fun listen.

This could be the last time Don Dokken plays with Lynch, Pilson, and Brown as a foursome. This is the best Don has sounded in years and the rest of the band sounds awesome. Not there best release ever but a must have for all Dokken fans. I was pleasantly surprised with this live recording. And the new studio song is great!
If you are on the fence with this one please buy, you will not be disappointed.

This is a good live album. It comes with a bonus dvd, this is the same concert as the blu ray version with the same features. The live album is the same concert but features 3 bonus songs. 2 accoustic versions and a new song. If you grew up in the 80's, listen to this album and go back in time.
