1983. The old Seattle Kingdome. Aldo Nova opened. Night Ranger came on next. Then Heart took the stage. What a fuckin' rockin' concert that was! Damn I miss those days!
I love how you only get to see the keyboard guy in sunglasses and a tamb at 3:10. Pretty sure at the video reveal party he was like, “yeah guys…..I helped too….”
Just saw them tonight. One hell of a great show. Brad is still playing that red Strat........ Jack Bades is a great front man as well as singer. The whole band just energy and great musicianship. What can I say.... 40th anniversary and these guys are having fun. They prove that..... YOU CAN STILL ROCK IN AMERICA!
The song popped in my head, so I just had to come watch Jack Blades rocking it out. He's even still got it after 40 years! One of their lesser known songs that I love, is Goodbye.
Goodbye is not a lesser known song. You could hear it everywhere back in 1986, and it reached position number 16 in Billboard 100. In fact, it is one of their most well known hits. =)
Just saw them a couple of days ago and they were still rockin. I am and will always be a Night Ranger fan. A little surprised after all these years i remembered the words to every song lol
I just seen them a few days ago. They opened the concert with this song. They are still loud and sound the the same. The only complaint is it was an indoor venue. These guys are stadium rock.
This is still one of the badass bands from my younger days and I just turned 64 year's old and still rockin' and rollin'! Oh yeah, got your song's on my Playlist and I listen to it every day and so does my neighbors 🤟🏼💥🤟🏼💞🔥💞💯
@@missingremote4388 Well first off, find that remote, second Hell Yeah I still rock and roll and I've been listening to my favorite rapper Yelawolf, who I believe isn't getting the recognition he so deserves! Wolf and Shooter Jennings, Waylon's only Son, dropped a rock and roll album earlier this year and the band's called Sometimes Y! But you need to listen to his music when he first started writing and rapping and especially listen to "Row Your Boat", and " Don't Make me Pop the Trunk!" He's got another one with quite a few videos for the badass song, "Louder!" Boom there ya go! Enjoy and I know you will! ,💯🔥💯
Now that's entertainment! Glad to know from the comments that these musicians are still "rocking." Just had a question about the video: is the stern-looking guy supposed to be the girl's father? And he pushes her into a closet or some such? Kind of creepy, somehow. But at least she escapes, even if she has to be "rescued." Thanks for sharing.
I was lucky enough to see Night Ranger twice: once in the 1980s in Santa Clara and once in the year 2001 (I think) in Lewiston, Idaho. Two of the best rock shows I've ever seen in my life!
This is my favorite Night Ranger.... this is Night Ranger and they are still going strong....Great musicians just don't leave... still got the same energy as this video
Why does this killer song only have 32K views are you kidding me it was on constant rotation on MTV back in the day I figured at least 100,000 people or 150,000 want relive their youth their high school college days back in the 80s
First of all this song is as prophetic af. Who knew they were writing this for Us in Our day. Lol. Secondly, don't forget that Brad Gillis backed up Ozzy after Randy died. That is badass. And he did a great job! Also Jeff Watson is after 40 or so years still unsurpassed in multi-tapping. And on top of all that this is an awesome rocking song. Awesome job Night Ranger!
This is a blast from the past. awsome band I loved them in the 80s. Im still rockin in America at 54.Great solo . This song brings back memories of me being the typical teen chillin and partying. (soda you know) having a great time .
Jeff Watson will always be one of my favorite rock'n'roll guitarists. He had the sound, the technique, and the look. Just one of the coolest dudes on the planet.
Saludos, camarada mexicano!! Aquí en Argentina se rockea de lo lindo también! Tuvimos bandas como Soda Stereo, que deberías conocer, y actualmente a Airbag, nuestro mejor exponente de rock y Hard Rock estilo vieja escuela de los 80s. Airbag suelen ir a México cada tanto ,te los recomiendo...
Thanks to you! Here in Argentina we continue rocking. American and European bands come and are amazed by our totally unique audience. And we also have great rock exponents, like Soda Stereo, Airbag, La Renga...bands that I recommend... See yaa!
1983 with Zebra at the Fine Arts Center in San Juan, PR. First popular music concert in that place, which was dedicated until then to classical and opera music shows only. Pretty good impression from the start!!!
IMO;These 2 guitarist's PROVE that you DON'T have to know a lot about theory,scales,modes(or play"out of the box")etc..To be a total BEAST on guitar!!These 2 are Masters.NR wrote GREAT songs as well.80's were the pinnacle of electric guitar virtuosity.I'm SO grateful to all these players.
@@stevemineer2857 Brad and Jeff knew what they were doing,but weren't AS technical as Paul Gilbert or Malmsteen.ex;Brad only had 1 instructional video,not sure about Watson.?But virtuoso's they weren't/aren't.(But they sure are a LOT better than ME!haha!)
@@rick3747 Eddie was self taught,very limited theory.Someone like Lukather much more so.Prince?🤮No comment.Jeff&Brad are great,but Holdsworth/Morse they're not.(Mode/Theory wise)
Thank you for bringing this original video on RUclips because I watch this video when it was aired on American Bandstand at the time and this group performed that same song and on MTV. Much appreciate it with your support.
Boatload of respect for Brad Gillis. He had the thankless job of filling Randy Rhodes' shoes with Ozzy's band after Randy's death (and after Ozzy's brief engagement with Bernie Torme). By all accounts, Ozzy treated Brad like shit, and it made an already difficult job that much harder. Jeff Watson I met personally at a guitar clinic. Very personable and down to Earth. Kinda quiet. Had an autographed poster on my wall for a number of years. But yeah, this is one of my favorite songs.
I want to see Aerosmith at the Orange pavilion and night ranger was opening up for him along with wine and cheese it was a turning point in my guitar playing career Jeff Watson on the song you can still Rock in America get some 8 theater hammering Jeff watching it in the song is still Rock in America did some a hammering I thought to myself I'm going to do it was a it was a revelation I thought my shop when I start playing guitar I'm going to do this and it was true I do it now fluently
Yes, it happens that the band didn't upload it, it was uploaded by a stranger like me haha. And not so long ago, so it will be a while until the video becomes more massive.
Saw them around 1987 or '88
1983. The old Seattle Kingdome. Aldo Nova opened. Night Ranger came on next. Then Heart took the stage. What a fuckin' rockin' concert that was! Damn I miss those days!
How many songs can boast two(!) incredible guitar solos?
And when we first saw that 8 finger tapping NO ONE had done that on a mainstream record!
80's rock will never die! Thank God!
FOREVER!
He's dead Jim
I love how you only get to see the keyboard guy in sunglasses and a tamb at 3:10. Pretty sure at the video reveal party he was like, “yeah guys…..I helped too….”
As a keyboard player, I appreciate this comment.
So 80's. So unapologetically American. A classic forever.
Great song to celebrate Trump's victory over Harris.
Just saw them live 2 weeks ago. Jack Blades is non stop energy. Very Impressed.
Was this at the Golden Nugget in Lake Charles? I was there too!!
Badass
I just saw them a few months back myself. They STILL got the JAM !!! ;)

That red strat is the 2nd guitar to ever be fitted with a Floyd Rose tremolo bridge. Eddie Van Halen's Frankenstein was the first.
The song popped in my head, so I just had to come watch Jack Blades rocking it out. He's even still got it after 40 years!

Rock n roll is good time music. Night Ranger is proof of that!! Good stuff!!👍🎸🥁🇺🇸❤️
Hard to believe next year will be 40 years since this was released and it seems like yesterday!!

Tomorrow night at the fair!
Saw them in 1984. They ended the show with this one
😆
I just saw them! They are great live!
Saw them back in April, seeing them again in August!

Id rock with ya if you were my neighbor!! 🤘🏻🎸

It doesn't have more views because a stranger like me uploaded it haha, the band didn't upload it. So it doesn't have the scope it deserves.
A lot more now
It took a minute, but yeah, it took off finally
They're having a concert April 6th in Poplar Bluff. I'm gonna be going to it.
Saw them at Great America several times in the 80s. Lol.
As a guitar player/singer or just a listener... this song gives me goose bumps every single time😎🎸🤗
This has to be played at my funeral!!!
One of my favorite guitar solos of all time. Thanks for the up!
Great solo, especially Jeff's

Saw them in 1982 - sill love this one
This is a blast from the past. awsome band I loved them in the 80s. Im still rockin in America at 54.Great solo . This song brings back memories of me being the typical teen chillin and partying. (soda you know) having a great time .
Just saw them last night in Toledo Ohio and they were awesome!!
We from the same era. This was my favorite song back in 1984. It still gets me going 40 years later.🤘🤘🤘🤘
Jennifer, I'll be 59 next month and I'm most definitely still rocking in America and playing air guitar on those scorching hot solos.
rock on and love from canada
Jeff Watson will always be one of my favorite rock'n'roll guitarists. He had the sound, the technique, and the look. Just one of the coolest dudes on the planet.
Folks always post about "the most underrated band of all time", but NR'er is truly one of them!
That is how an electric guitar is meant to be played. Like it or not, this is bad-ass rock.
You can still rock in America..... tomando tequila y pisco con una peruana bien hermosa 😍 saludos de un mexicano 🇲🇽 vecinos de USA

38年ぶりに聞きました。いいですねー懐かしい、昔を思い出す。
I love Night Ranger! Great band.
Watson and Gillis
One of the best and unsung twin guitar duos ever.
TRUMO BABY !!!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Absolutely love this.rock in America forever
This is what we’re playing on 4th July yesterday
Definitely Night Ranger's best song!!
Sister Christian
Don't tell me you love me is.
@@Grizzled556 Def Don't tell me you love me!
That guitar solo is pure fire🔥
Not to mention the synth parts
Jeff Watson's solo 💥
This album is what got me into metal! The entire album is awesome top to bottom!
Man I love this song, I'm a 70s kinda man, I'm 62 , but the 80s kicked out some kickass songs too.
Wow, I have not seen this since the 80's. I have been looking for it.
Rock forever.!! Very underrated band.
Night Ranger is amazing! Jack Blades is adorable!!!!
Great find Leo! Thanks, and keep rockin' in Argentina!
Thanks to you! Here in Argentina we continue rocking. American and European bands come and are amazed by our totally unique audience. And we also have great rock exponents, like Soda Stereo, Airbag, La Renga...bands that I recommend... See yaa!
Currently, Airbag is one of the great Argentine exponents of old school Hard Rock from the 80s, but with its own imprint...
Image this , Sammy Hagar , Alex Van Halen , Brad Gillis , Jeff Watson and Michael Anthony in the same band together wonder what that would be like.
We went nuts for this when I was in high school, screw American Dad

You really think Brad and Jeff didn’t know what they were doing musically?

What? You think Jeff and Brad don't know theory and scales...you are wrong. Even our beloved Prince and King Edward knew some theory and scales too.

Winter 1983. With that inro you punched that booster.
Great rock song one of the greatest 80s hard rock band night ranger still rocking hard today great guitar solo by Brad Gillis 😎🤘🤘🎸🎸🎸🏋️🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🌹
It is great, but like Watsons solo better
Watson's better

You are welcome! I was surprised that it wasn't there at the time, and since I got it elsewhere, I had to upload it.
Who's still rockin' to this in 2022!? ❤🇺🇲😎
2023
2024
2025
Kicking ass and taking reservations LOL! Wicked olde school. Brad and Jeff stoking the brimstone way B4 their time. @$#% yeah!
One of the best dual axe attack bands EVER!
Totally right!!
Why did they get shit on. Hmmm I guess they didn’t sign the right contract. Oh well. So much for Brian Eno and island records.
saw them open for Journey in '09....great show👍🏻🎵❤
Still rockin' to this in 2024.
Amen, brother.
Fantastic song that brings back happy memories!
@ 2:00 sum of the best guitar shit ever recorded.
Great Rocking Tune
Saw these guys twice and they were Awesome both times...IMHO Jeff blows Brad out of the water
When ever I listen to this song, My entire neighborhood hears it.
the lyrics are funny when you consider , the members of Night Ranger are all from Canada, and they can still rock there too!!🍁
You must be out of yo god damn mind
THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THIS VIDEO.
Such an underrated American Anthem.
Great song then. Great song now.
There songs still sound as good today as they did 40yrs ago one of the great rock bands for me.
love the ode to the marines at iwo jima ;)
Haven't heard this song for years, then it came on at the gym this morning. I felt instantly transformed from a 61-year old to a 21-year old!
This song has one of the best duo guitarist solos
Such a banger !
The ffffing guitar solos are off the ffffing charts ffs!!!!!
This song and DTMYLM are my favorites ever.
Just saw them last night in Toledo Ohio and they opened with this and they still rock!!
Love this ❤
Imo, this SHOULD B the national anthem!!
TOTALLY AGREE...IT SHOULD BE ONE OF OUR NATIONAL ANTHEMS.
Its almost not right for a band to be this good.Damn
Watson's a beast
still my favorite night ranger song ;)
I sure AF hope this can be our de-facto Nat'l Anthem this Nov. 🤘
To me this was their flagship song 🤟🏼
Blades playing the bass like a Fukkin Guitar... AMERICAN BADASS 💥🔥🌟🇺🇸
I might cover this song on vocals...since I am the true american badass lol
Kickass song! Classic!
Thank You.
You welcome!
It's almost 2023 and you can STILL rock in (U.S. of) America!
For now. Let’s go Trump!
@@Meh-j9s 💯 This should be the song at the campaign victory party.
Corpus Christi. Sunrise Mall. Record Bar. Midnight Madness Tour.

Happy 4th of July! 🇺🇸
Freakin' Watson man. That cat can shred.
