I forgot about Dokken! For some reason, I don't have a clear memory of when they played. I saw Dokken w/ Judas Priest in '86 (Turbo Tour); then I saw them w/ Aerosmith (Permanent Vacation Tour) several months later. They actually toured with a lot of groups in and around Seattle and the west coast back in the '80s, always the warm-up act. But yeah, they were the proto-typical '80s metal band. I really liked them when they first came out, but made the mistake of watching a behind-the-scenes fanboy documentary about 'the band', and they all came acrossed as 16 yr old airheads. I could never listen to 'em the same way after that.
