Yeah they’re pretty amazing for sure! I just recently found out that Brad played with Ozzy after Randy died in the crash but fans didn’t think it was a good fit probably cause they were used to and probably mourning Randy’s death also.
You do know that Brad was hired by Ozzy after Randy died right? Apparently, Ozzy didn't think he was "underrated." I get what you mean though. Brad Gillis is one of the best, for sure!!
Night Ranger April Wine Triumph Journey REO Styx Bon Jovi Judas Priest ......... I could go on and on. Don't care what anyone says the 80s rock did kick ass and I'm glad I lived it, class of 84. Some of these bands formed before the 80s and their earlier stuff kicked just as much ass.
Jeff is game on in the some of the new artist suck, a guy named joe said theres know money it eagles. when great artist donnt get payed they stop creating so think off a new law to be passed . on creadit and infrigigment, the creators should be creadited and payed or creativity stops and new enventiontions of great minds dont get payed .

By far, one of the most underrated bands of all time. They kick ass, and are tight as hell. This was definitely talent in the 80's, and they deserve more praise. Miss this music from the that era.
@Veterano Metallaro Not that much. Except for this one, and some rare others, out of USA, they were not very much known. My friend guitarist with whom I was making music with was a Gillis fan because he tourn with Ozzy after Rhoads death, that is why he knew about Gillis, and Night Ranger. Around me, nobody knows nothing about NR.
I saw them in the early eighties. They were and still are the most energetic groups. And their sound….so fantastic!! I miss going to really good rock concerts like this one. Brings back a lot of good memories!! I really miss the eighties
This Band is most energetic professional spot on performer on the planet. In their prime they were absolutely the best. The most underrated band I have ever seen ❤
I still have my original concert t-shirt. From 1985 😂 I was 18. One of the best things about growing up in farm country with non-existent organized entertainment was that If you wanted to go on a “real” date, it almost always meant a 2 hour drive to the big city to a nice dinner and to see a rock band. No cell phones, no batshit craziness, just a lighter, some cherry vodka 🤪and your friends was all you needed. If I could be stuck in time, I would definitely pick the 80s.
Oh yeah!!!! Rember ticket prices to see some of these great bands was around $35 or so for a decent seat......now that is what is costs to park at the venues!!!!
When you are stuck in something that means you're trying to get out but you can't your stuck correct. Well I never left therefore I'm not stuck cuz I'm not trying to get out it's here I will stay in the eighties till my dying day.
Bud your making me CRY ,,, i lived 1 hour away from a city in Northern Ontario Canada when growing up in the 80's and same thing concerts were Dream for us to see ,,, Damn i miss the 80's ,,, Fack the Cell Phones ,,, take care ....
God I love his guitar tone... In my book this is one of the best bands ever. I have seen them live 19 times and not one time have I ever been disappointed. Ever.
i reminess back in the day when i'd be cruising market street in riverside searching for slutty women too put on that chopping block to score another fling on that bedpost
I remember when I was engineering and producing in the 1980s. I saw a band called Ranger at the Phoenix theater in Petaluma California. I walked up to them after and said man you have some great songs and I would love to work with you. They said they already had a development deal. Months later with a name change Night Ranger hit the airwaves and the rest is history. Wish I would have been on that ride but it wasn't meant to be.
You hit the nail on the head. Night Ranger had SONGS!!! Dawn Patrol was a brilliant debut record I found it on vinyl over the weekend and put it on and was taken back.
At 52 yrs old these day's, I recall seeing them like it was yesterday! They came out on stage and just 'took over' with the most amazing energy of ANY band I've ever seen! Fucking loved it and can re-live it any time I want!!!!! That's DAMN rock n' roll :) Lzzy and Eric know what I'm sayin'
I will never forget seeing them! I live in VT and we drove to NY State when they first came out. Holy shit, they were just like this, to a T! One big ball of energy and spot on, with everything they played! Now I'm in my 50's and me and my hubby are still watching them like it was yesterday! All our friend's too in their 50's/60's! SWEET! Just awesome, the band, the song's, the youth!!!!! I want to go back :)
mfitzster! Hey friend! Saw your comment and had to reply. I just came back and left another comment about your brothers talent. I thought his bass playing skills on Gamma One was super over the top notch BAM!! Be well !!
@@davidcarr5239 David he left the band when the work slowed down. Then he worked for VH playing keys under the stage or on the stage in a black tent. Then he played for a lot of people like Whitney Houston and CSN and then Bruce Springsteen. Then back to VH. Then played with them for a total of 24 years and retired a few years ago after he had been on the road since 1974. I got to be taping The Midnight Special on the same day as him. I played bass with The Charlie Daniels Band from 1973 to 1975. It was cool to be on the same night together!
Hello mfitzster, I wanted to write in with what might seem a strange compliment for Your brother Alan. I'm a keyboard player and went bald pretty quick. I've always worn fedoras on stage, and stacked several keyboards, and Alan was a huge influence sound-wise and visually as well. I always got a kick how there were 4 guys with the metal hair, and then Fitz just playing the keys with the classy looking fedora on. Again please take this as a compliment. They really should have gotten more appreciation from the media back in the day. Thanks again D
@@mfitzster funny how Van Halen didn't get to #1 without keyboards, and their top 2 hits with Hagar had keys too. (Billboard Top 100, not just niche charts). In a tent? Back stage? I had no idea. I just figured they played with pre recorded keyboard tracks and it always made me think less of the band because of it. I'm happy to know they actually employed someone to play the parts! But man, talk about being treated like the help! He probably had a non discourse agreement that he couldn't even say he was playing with them!
Love Night Ranger and Love All their songs❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥 I’ve seen a lot of concerts in my lifetime but sadly I never saw Night Ranger☹️ I miss going to energetic Rock concerts back in the 80’s and 90’s‼️ Those we’re really good times in my life that’s for sure💯❤️🤘🏻🎸🎤🥁🤘🏻❤️
i graduated from high school in 1982. this is quintessential 80s rock. i watched it all, saw it all and it was fabulous. you could do anything in the early 1980s; no one stopped you. there will never be a time like that.
Took backstage photo with the band last year. Have seen them 3 times over the past few years and they are still awesome. I'm a Night Ranger fan since the early 80's.......
@Antioch I definitely am a huge Y&T fan from their origin as Yesterday and Today . And saw multiple performances. Really there are so many great bands out of the San Francisco bay area . do you want to choose . I mean Huey lewis and the news were huge. I saw them when they first started. But I prefer harder rock.
Saw them with Triumph back in the day. MAN, what a great show!! UNREAL!! And to think these guys started life as a THREE PIECE FUNK BAND!!! JACK BLADES WAS AND IS A GREAT LARRY GRAHAM STYLE BASS PLAYER!!! RUBICON WAS THE NAME OF THE BAND AND THEY PLAYED AT THE US FESTIVAL AND NOBODY KNEW WHO THE HELL THEY WERE!!!
Wait. You saw Triumph AND Night Ranger IN THE SAME SHOW?! Lucky dog! I never saw Night Ranger live, but back in the early '80's I saw Triumph and their live show was the BEST I've ever seen.
They opened for KISS at the Norfolk Scope in '83...I was a Marine stationed nearby at Yorktown Naval Weapons Station...$10.50 ticket....LOVED IT! ..of course I couldn't hear for 3 days but it was worth it!
Ahh 1985 was a very bad year for me my farther passed away in October of 85 . But on the flip side I had great Music like this song to help me through a tuff time . it brings back bitter sweet memories ..
I saw Night Ranger in around 1978 when they were the opening act for Ronnie Montrose. I was with my older brother who wanted to see Ronnie. I remember Night Ranger's performance. They really stood out, and had a magical chemistry. I can't remember one second of Ronnie Montrose's performance to save my life.
Why are so many TH-cam commentators using the word "underrated" ? These guys didn't sell bad at all, did they ? They filled concert halls with ease didn't they ? They must have had plenty of one night stands, no ? Their career still goes on, don't it ? So what does "underrated" in that case means ? They are vibrant and inventive guitar players, but they aren't Yngwie Malmsteen or Ritchie Blackmore to name but these, something which they surely would acknowledge themselves. And ... they don't have to be, in order to make this band reaching very high levels. But to call them "underrated" is like saying that Ian Paice is an underrated drummer. What do we have to do to make them less "underrated", name boulevards and plaza's after them, erect statues, have "Gillis & Watson Music Schools" ?
Benoit Vanhees - "Underrated" means not as popular and successful as they should have been. Like, say, Def Leppard was. Take a breath dude. I fully agree they were underrated but they are still one of my favorite all time "big hair" rock bands of the 1980s while growing up watching MTV. And this song was their first video on it yet it didn't even crack the top 30 in the Billboard Hot 100. THAT is the point of underrated.
Why cant band be like this now? Talent at all positions no autotune and full of energy. I saw them about a year or two ago and still hard at it maybe not here but shoot they are old enough to be grand partents just like me.
Night Ranger, Aprilwine, Molly Hatchet, Orion the Hunter, Blackfoot, Kick Axe, Tokyo Blade, the time in the 80's were Phenomenal!!!!! These Bands kicked some serious ass, Triumph
Saw Brad Gillis on tour as the replacement for Randy Rhoads on one of the Ozzy tours back in 1983 . Nobody can surpass Randy , for sure , but Gillis held his own .
I'd be honored if some fans of classic 80s rock anthems would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of EYE OF THE TIGER by Survivor, IS THIS LOVE by Whitesnake, and SISTER CHRISTIAN by Night Ranger on my YT channel in tribute to the era of legendary power ballads. Live acoustic with no autotune. Thanks & keep on rocking.
A short while ago, some dude in a 1985 Chevy Camaro IROC-Z28 was playing this with the windows down cranked up without a single fuch given. That dude forever has my respects 🤘
Yep! when we were there... we didn't realize we were living right smack in the middle of the good old days. You blink your eyes, and you're 30 years into the future. Those were the simple days.
Summer of 1982, 12 years old, riding my Huffy bike to the community pool, Walkman headphones on, jamming to this song... Had the world by the shorthairs.
First time heard of them was on American Bandstand. After that I was hooked. Sing me away. Great under rated group. Saw them twice. Even got one of the guitar picks. Keep rocking Night Ranger
They really are a great band still! Saw them in early 00's and again in 2013 and they were great both times. High energy, good vocals and talented musicians. Lot of great tunes!
This video makes me wish I had seen these guys live! I saw most everyone in the 70's and 80's...regrets, I've got a few. Thanks Night Ranger for the great music!
I "witnessed" Night Ranger at a small, now long-gone "Brandywine Club" nightclub in Concordville, Pa., just south of my college in West Chester, Pa., in May of 1984 for their "Midnight Madness" tour. . . The twin guitar attack of Brad Gillis and Jeff Watson blew the lid off the damn joint ! ... Memories !!
Always loved the 1-2 punch this band provided with Gillis and Watson. As mentioned, very, VERY, underrated rockers but they were in a time where guitar and keyboard kind of went hand in hand. While we're at it, Fitz spent some time with rockers! Montrose! Hagar! They guy had some cred.

The SINGLE most under rated rock band of the 80's. Full stop!!!! The guitar riffs of Brad Gillis and Jeff Watson were other worldly.
Yeah they’re pretty amazing for sure! I just recently found out that Brad played with Ozzy after Randy died in the crash but fans didn’t think it was a good fit probably cause they were used to and probably mourning Randy’s death also.
Not many bands boast two guitar gods.
@@setharnold3699😮
Who else gets all excited and cold chills hearing them playing again??? They were the BEST and still are in my opinion!!!! And miss damn yankees too!!
❤❤❤❤❤❤
worked for them as a roadie in 84. awesome guys and funny as hell. I was 17 and they treated me like a friend. miss those days
Right on. Fun times.
Proud of my brother Fitz!
Your so lucky too have worked for them
How's your back?
@@DavidALovingMPF102 Just fine. How's yours?
Brad Gillis and Jeff Watson are one of the most under rated guitar duos ever!
By whose standards?? Your opinion is subjective.
@@jumpinjojo Lighten up Francis...
here we go with another "underrated" comment. This band was NEVER "underrated" and if they were it was by people who had their heads up their ass.
Saw Bradd after Randy died…he was kick ass

Me, Kip and Napoleon will join you
Oh, shit! I forgot Uncle Rico
Night ranger was and is one of the MOST underrated rocks bands ever PERIOD..
agreed!
Yeah, buddy
Sadly, many bands from this era were underrated.
I think the term underrated is in fact underrated.
No, you’re thinking of Thin Lizzy!
By far, one of the most underrated bands of all time. They kick ass, and are tight as hell. This was definitely talent in the 80's, and they deserve more praise. Miss this music from the that era.
In Japan they were considered GODS

I’ve never heard of this band . Couldn’t tell you a single song .
@@DigiPal Same way I discovered- Gillis on Ozzy Speak of the Devil Live album..along with Quiet Riot Bassist Rudy Sarzo...
there is nothing better than a one song wonder!
I saw them in the early eighties. They were and still are the most energetic groups. And their sound….so fantastic!! I miss going to really good rock concerts like this one. Brings back a lot of good memories!! I really miss the eighties
Seen them at Tampa theater in 82 or 3. Great memories!!! Great band!!!!
Me too. They were sensational!! This is the same year Sammy Hagar started with Van Halen 5150 album. We lived the dream for sure
I agree! So much energy and power!!!!
Friggin 80s. How can you not like it.
Tipton and Downing................Gillis and Watson. Best guitar teams ever!
Can't forget Iron Maiden (Murray and Smith either...) 😎
This Band is most energetic professional spot on performer on the planet. In their prime they were absolutely the best. The most underrated band I have ever seen
❤
Dawn Patrol and Midnight Madness!! Two of my favorite albums. Got to love the 80's!!
I saw them a few years ago and the enthusiasm and energy was still the same. Impressive!
I still have my original concert t-shirt. From 1985 😂 I was 18.

My gosh, the energy. Jack is amazing. Jumping around like that and still singing and playing to perfection.
Coca Cola??
Still one of the best 80's anthems in my opinion! Well done!
You are correct Sir.

This is the first song I heard from this band, and it's still my favorite.
But it looks like nap time for Kelly in his jammies.
i always sing this Song in my head ,,, love there Music and Attitude on Stage ....

Saw them with KISS in 1982 in Michigan. Never saw anyone Jump around like Jack did while playing an instrument. Legs like a bullfrog.
Wow! Stage presence - Choreography - Talent - Skill -- Energy -- Oh yeah,... and GREAT MUSIC that ROCKS! Night Ranger.
I remember when I was engineering and producing in the 1980s. I saw a band called Ranger at the Phoenix theater in Petaluma California. I walked up to them after and said man you have some great songs and I would love to work with you. They said they already had a development deal. Months later with a name change Night Ranger hit the airwaves and the rest is history. Wish I would have been on that ride but it wasn't meant to be.

Wow the phoenix in Petaluma, there's a trip back in time. Saw Y&T there a few times.
Loved the Phoenix! Great venue! Saw these guys, The Tubes, Y&T and many others there!

One bad ass (and sorely underrated) band!
Underrated by who? What book are you using that rates bands?
wao! just luv their look/sound/vibe/back-up harmonies/the song & the lead guitar break as well. these guys a supper band & under rated
Love this song. That opening guitar riff is badass. Also, Jack Blades...hot!
These guys were definitely part of the 80's who contributed to the trademark music we will always remember 👍
The energy alone from these guys is unbelievable classic rock man
I will never forget seeing them! I live in VT and we drove to NY State when they first came out. Holy shit, they were just like this, to a T! One big ball of energy and spot on, with everything they played! Now I'm in my 50's and me and my hubby are still watching them like it was yesterday! All our friend's too in their 50's/60's! SWEET!

Kelley bangs the drums with raw emmotion. You can see he thoroughly enjoys performing!
Absolutely one of the best live bands ever to play on stage, very very underrated 🤘
Jack Blades and Brad Gillis are killer on this tune! Incredible memories at that time. Thank you for putting this song on TH-cam!
懐かし〜い！

what he said.....😄😄😄😄
Saw them twice at Astroworld in Houston... Great shows and probably the most athletic band I've ever seen!
I saw them on this tour in November '85. Great band, and always great live! Jack Blades doesn't age--he's still running around like that on stage now.
I love this band. I got married in 1985. Still going. Still great in my opinion. Lots of talent for sure!
Awesome playing and band.
God mercy !! I almost forgot how bad axx Night Ranger is. Them fellas could really throw down. Very underrated superband.
mercado del playa
This is a rockin' jam! The guitar solo gets me every time!!!!
Took backstage photo with the band last year. Have seen them 3 times over the past few years and they are still awesome. I'm a Night Ranger fan since the early 80's.......
God I miss the 80s!! LIFE WAS SO DAMN AWESOME!!
Dawn Patrol ,, who is hearing this in 2020,,, From Ontario Canada ... north Ontario ... EH
hell yea... never stopped since the 80's
Good music never gets old.
Right here right now
Funny thing is, I saw them last year and the stage setup is exactly the same. I guess if it ain't broke...
All the way to Sudbury brother

Cool. Both Triumph and Night Ranger has killer drummers who can also sing lead - Gil Moore in Triumph and Kelly Keagy in Night Ranger.
This is one of the best rock songs of all time !
That would have been one helluva show to be at! Guitars were dead on! Badass!
The guitar solos starting @ 2:08 by Gillis & Watson are fantastic! Great guitar duo!
Listening in Ireland since the 80s, still listening
man the80s rock and metal priceless

Benoit Vanhees - "Underrated" means not as popular and successful as they should have been. Like, say, Def Leppard was. Take a breath dude. I fully agree they were underrated but they are still one of my favorite all time "big hair" rock bands of the 1980s while growing up watching MTV. And this song was their first video on it yet it didn't even crack the top 30 in the Billboard Hot 100. THAT is the point of underrated.
They were considered GODS in Asia back in the day !
1st concert I went to back in 1988 with Paula and Cindy,great times
Alain DeWitt ll
one of those songs that comes on the radio n u turn it up...
aesthetic lifter ... Hell yeah 🤟
I have my phone volume maxed out and playing air guitar like Brad freaking Gillis !! Woo hoo hoo hoooo !!
damn right !!!
Damn right there young man ,,, from Ontario Canada ...
Why cant band be like this now? Talent at all positions no autotune and full of energy. I saw them about a year or two ago and still hard at it maybe not here but shoot they are old enough to be grand partents just like me.
Night Ranger, Aprilwine, Molly Hatchet, Orion the Hunter, Blackfoot, Kick Axe, Tokyo Blade, the time in the 80's were Phenomenal!!!!! These Bands kicked some serious ass, Triumph
Saw Brad Gillis on tour as the replacement for Randy Rhoads on one of the Ozzy tours back in 1983 . Nobody can surpass Randy , for sure , but Gillis held his own .
yeah ....randy is a hard act to top or even match
What a performance, the sound is amazing.
Holy crap!! Did they ever kick ass doing that song!!! My decade!!
Back in 84 i was in a band called the boyz in new hampshire...just a club band...used to rock the shit out of this song...good times for sure.
Now that's how you put on a concert! What Showmanship!
What a kick-ass band!! Always loved them! Ton of talent in that band too man! Night Ranger always kicked ass!
Never again will rock be like this. Im so happy i was a teenager during this era. So memorable!
Didn't know how good we had it...but who would of known today's kids would be stuck with Kanye and Post Malone
One of my favorite songs from this band.. absolutely a amazing time in my life with this song
Thank God I grew up in this era of music!! OMG!! thank you GOD!!!!!
He didn't lose anything live with his lead vocals! Jesus they sound great live.
Still sounds good in 2019 cranked up windows down!
I'd be honored if some fans of classic 80s rock anthems would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of EYE OF THE TIGER by Survivor, IS THIS LOVE by Whitesnake, and SISTER CHRISTIAN by Night Ranger on my YT channel in tribute to the era of legendary power ballads. Live acoustic with no autotune. Thanks & keep on rocking.
A short while ago, some dude in a 1985 Chevy Camaro IROC-Z28 was playing this with the windows down cranked up without a single fuch given. That dude forever has my respects 🤘
3:36AM I'm rocking my roof if this block Lol..Its -18 Outsi!!de might as well wake up the right way
Great stuff...I listened to this when I was a teenager. I'll be 51 yrs old tomorrow. I still rock!!!!
Yep! when we were there... we didn't realize we were living right smack in the middle of the good old days. You blink your eyes, and you're 30 years into the future. Those were the simple days.
That song still ROCKS
These guys were a big part of 80's rock
I graduated high school in 85. Had this album in 81, now introducing my 10 week old grand daughtet
Summer of 1982, 12 years old, riding my Huffy bike to the community pool, Walkman headphones on, jamming to this song... Had the world by the shorthairs.
What a great clip! No wonder people love these guys.
Killer band. Those guitar solos are insane
KILLER !! Love these guys! Extremely underrated!
First time heard of them was on American Bandstand. After that I was hooked. Sing me away. Great under rated group. Saw them twice. Even got one of the guitar picks. Keep rocking Night Ranger
They really are a great band still! Saw them in early 00's and again in 2013 and they were great both times. High energy, good vocals and talented musicians. Lot of great tunes!
Saw these guys at Montain Air in Angels Camp around 1986 with ZZ Top, Autograph and Berlin, Ranger rocked them all off the stage!
This video makes me wish I had seen these guys live! I saw most everyone in the 70's and 80's...regrets, I've got a few. Thanks Night Ranger for the great music!
I dont know if this posted already, but, I'VE NEVER LEFT THE 80'S!!!!!!!!❤😊
It's nice to know that people are still listening back to the past, because there's NOT MUCH these days to look forward to!!!
Such an underrated song. In my opinion this is better than Sister Christian.
This is definitely their best song.
And it would sound better without the keyboards. The guitar sound is so heavy!
Esta bien pendejos, es mejor la rola de hermana cristiana no mamen
miles n miles better
@@epic103under rated is the most over used word in You Tube.. ya frigging idiot it took the US by storm WTH do ya want? ?
I saw these guys 3x back in the day... once opening for Sammy Hagar, and twice as the main attraction. They rocked live every single time.
I "witnessed" Night Ranger at a small, now long-gone "Brandywine Club" nightclub in Concordville, Pa., just south of my college in West Chester, Pa., in May of 1984 for their "Midnight Madness" tour. . . The twin guitar attack of Brad Gillis and Jeff Watson blew the lid off the damn joint ! ... Memories !!
After all these years and that guitar solo still gives me goosebumps.
Love this song!
These guys have always been on my most under rated band list.
Always loved the 1-2 punch this band provided with Gillis and Watson. As mentioned, very, VERY, underrated rockers but they were in a time where guitar and keyboard kind of went hand in hand. While we're at it, Fitz spent some time with rockers! Montrose! Hagar! They guy had some cred.
Amazing performance - and a classic solo signed Brad Gillis!
