Night Ranger

It all started when five hard-rockin’ kids from the San Francisco Bay Area joined forces in the early 80’s to form Night Ranger. Like no other rock band, Night Ranger both epitomized and transcended the sound and style of that decade.In 1983, Night Ranger earned widespread acclaim with their multi-platinum album Midnight Madness, which included their smash hits "Sister Christian," "When You Close Your Eyes" and the anthemic "(You Can Still) Rock In America.”Night Ranger is proof that powerful songs plus accomplished musicians is the perfect formula for continued success.

Night Ranger always rocks the house and they didn't disappoint. The music was awesome, vocals were spot on and 35 years has proven to age this classic band just right! Night Ranger is a must see band for every rock and roll fan!

Night Ranger was so full of energy it was amazing. After 35 years since they released Dawn Patrol, thought they might have slowed down a little, but no they ROCKED. They still sounded great too. Two thumbs up!

To see Brad Gillis perform his famous solos up close and personal in a tiny venue like Starland Ballroom is more than worth the price of admission. Blade & Kelly's vocals were spot on. The new guitar player, Joel, who replaced Jeff Watson is simply amazing. If given the opportunity to see these dudes rock live, don't miss your chance- they will not disappoint. Bravo!

Night Ranger rocked out the Starland Ballroom, which is a nice, small intimate venue. They played some of their most well known songs such as "Rock in America" "Sister Christian" and "Rumours in the Air". They also played some 'covers' of songs from their stints with other bands (Damn Yankees, Ozzy) and Jack Blades' banter was light-hearted and funny.

The Guys of Nightranger are still touring for a reason. They still enjoy playing and it shows. They gave a steady dose of rocking hits from their hey day as well as mixing in a few covers. They actually played AC/DC's "Highway to Hell". The energy level was high and the show was high octane. Very impressive.

This was a fantastic show! I saw Night Ranger at the Mud Island Amphitheatre in Memphis in 1988, and this show was just as good in terms of the music and enthusiasm with which the band performed. They've still got it after all these years. Wish they could find more commercial success now but glad they're still Rockin' America!

If you loved 'em 25 years ago, you won't be disappointed. They bring an A game that shows a commitment to craft and loyalty to songs that have meant a career and life for young punks from the west coast. I could have paid twice as much for tickets and still gotten my money's worth.

WOW! Let me just say, "You can STILL, ROCK IN AMERICA!" Night Ranger was fabulous!! They played all their hits and even the great songs that never became big radio hits!! The acoustic session rocked! They had plenty of energy! I loved the small venue, we were able to get right up to the stage. My only criticism... Online, the Palladium said the concert started at 8pm. It did not start until a little after 9pm and I had to work out alternate arrangements with my babysitter because she could not stay long enough. The staff at the Palladium knew the show did not start until 9pm. I wish some courtesy would have been given to explain that the doors opened at 8pm but the show did not start until 9pm.

I am almost ashamed to admit this was my first Night Ranger concert at age 41. But it was well worth the wait! I can't believe how good these guys still sounded. The small crowd was a disappointment to me, in that Dallas 40-somethings really missed a great show. But you would never know that the crowd was small by how intensely the band performed.

They really played the Beatles very well. Night Ranger was great also. Kelly and Christian stole the show.

I just saw Night Ranger tonight at our local county fair in Kennewick, Wa. They rocked the house. I have always loved their music from the 80's. But they are even better in person. They rock out and they are amazing! They play all the best hits and then some fun stuff too! They also play acoustic music that is just amazing as well. Go see them! And you if you see them with Journey, You are so blessed times 2! Highly recommend both concerts. You won't be disappointed

Night Ranger brought the house down at BB Kings! This was my first time seeing this band perform, but it certainly won't be my last! They put on an amazing show which included all their hits, some new material, and even the song "High Ehough" from Jack's other band Damn Yankees...AWESOME!! It was an extra-special treat to see this band at a venue like BB Kings...real up-close and personal. The band was nice enough to come out and meet fans after the show. They spent lotsof time talking, taking pictures and signing autographs, which was the perfect ending to a spectacular night of music in NYC!!

Great Show, better than ever- Packed house- Great set list, played all the hits + more! The boys came out after the show for meet and greets- signed anything and everything, friendly, genuine- took pictures with everyone and made a point to reach out to any kids that were there- Jack & Brad went above and beyond-

Night Ranger played to the masses in an intimate setting. Everyone went home happy because they played all their greatest hits and sounded great. they were also very interactive with the audience giving out some personal info about some of their songs

A truly superb show! Night Ranger were at their best - great performance, great sound and a comfortable, intimate setting. For a band known mainly for stadium performances, it was a treat to see them in a smaller, though classy venue. For those that don't know Night Ranger, you will be surprised at how many of the songs you will recognize and love - even if you did not know they were by Night Ranger. Enjoy!

WOW! Just WOW! How the hell does Night Ranger still sound so good (and much like the records) all these years later. Jack Blades sounded like he was 20. While I felt like Kelly Keagy was struggling a tiny bit, he sounded great, and the guitar work was INSANE (even with a replacement guitarist). I'd go again....and again....and again!

Because I'm now 40, I think I was nostalgic for some music from my high school years. I remembered that I loved the song Sister Christian, so I thought I'd see Night Ranger. The guitarists were amazing. The blond (I have no idea his name) was really good. I think he thought he was a displaced Metallica band member at times. The lead singer talked way too much. Overall, it was an okay concert. I wouldn't go again though.

The boys just played exactly like in the 80's. I was very impressed and had an awesome experience that night. Best of all, my wife enjoyed the whole concert with me. The venue also was great but would be best if theres another way to do the rows and sections in order to watch the show better and specifically people on the back. You boys continue to rock in America....

If you ever have the chance to see Night Ranger in concert I highly recommend you do that. They were amazing and still sound just like the albums after 35 years. The venue was a smaller room with chairs set up. The chairs were comfortable and pretty much any seat in the room was good and the sound was good as well.

Night Ranger is an awesome band with lots of talent. This venue had poor acoustics. The set list was shorter than normal. Will seed them again though.

I absolutely loved the concert!!! My only disappointment was that the security did not keep people from moving up from the back and standing in the aisle or in the way of those of us who planned ahead enough to make sure we were in the front. That is one of the rudest behaviors to demonstrate at concerts. Thankfully is was only a handful.

Night Ranger played a great selection of songs. The musicianship was incredible and the band clearly enjoyed playing. The energy they had was infectious. Added bonus - They filmed the video to their song "Truth" during the set. Outstanding show.

HHConcertReview

The venue is small, which is great, but the seats are on flat ground making it hard to see the band at times. The stage needs to be higher for better viewing. The band was great. If I had one complaint, since they do a couple covers, I was hoping for Crazy Train with Brad Gillis on solo. That would have made the show. No encore, which was disappointing.
