    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!

    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!

    • @roberteltze4850

      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!
    One of their lesser known songs that I love, is Goodbye.

    • @jaimergonzalezh
      @jaimergonzalezh 3 года назад +5

      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.

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!"

    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.

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!

    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.

      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.
