Damn, did Night Ranger kick ass!

Post by Hawk »

One heck of a show!

Kudos to Galaxy Audio! The band was clean, balanced and full sounding! Good job !

Night Ranger is better now than they were in the 80s. I'm glad I went.

I saw JP there, he's better at telling you why they were good. :D

Kudos to Flight 19 as well ! Even got an encore ! Well done !

Great show did any-one notice that you could hear the guitars? soundmen Take note.of course now drummers all over town will be moving their kits to front the band.
But seriously,five singers, great harmonies, Two shred guitar players!
And when they were playing leads it was as prominent as the lead vocals.

Christian Cullen of Night Ranger. I thought it was fitting that a keyboard player named Christian now plays the piano intro to Night Ranger's hit, "Sister Christian."

One more time, Night Ranger.

Excellent show! This was the third time I saw Night Ranger (the first two times were at Windber Stadium and Dougherty's "Terra" Tory in Johnstown); this was the best of the three, and the first time I saw them with Jack Blades, Brad Gillis and Kelly Keagy all in the line-up.

Night Ranger kicked it into high gear from the start, and kept the excitement level up for the duration, even on the ballads! They opened with "This Boy Needs to Rock" into Deep Purple's "Highway Star," and fired off a number of their hits. They did "Send Me Away," "The Secret of My Success," "Sentimental Street," "Goodbye," "Four in the Morning," "When You Close Your Eyes" and "Don't Tell Me You Love Me" to close the set. They also broke out a song from Blades' other band, Damn Yankees, performing "Coming of Age." They played "You're Gonna Hear From Me," which Jack said has been picked up by the Pittsburgh Steelers for use whenever they make a big play. For the encore, Night Ranger started with "Sister Christian," and then finished things with "Rock In America (You Can Still)." It all sounded awesome, and Night Ranger was definitely on their 'A' game!
