Talent, live without any help from auto tune. That’s a drummer singing lead, with harmony while carrying the time for the song. That doesn’t just happen....it takes practice, a lot of it.🎼🎶🤘😎
I have to give major kudos to Night Ranger for being able to keep it together for so many years. If you have ever been in a band you know what I mean. You had TWO lead singers (Jack and Kelly), TWO lead guitar players (Brad and Jeff) and a keyboard player (Alan) that got no press coverage or interviews or pictures in rock magazines and somehow they kept together for about 10 years. That is amazing that all these egos can peacefully co-exist.
I seen this band in 1983 at a little amphitheater in Evansville Indiana. They blew me away with their talent. It sounded like I was in a studio. It's one that I will never forget for sure.
When within one band you can have a valid argument about 1. who is the best guitar player, and it's between Jeff Watson and Brad Gillis; and 2. who is the best singer, and it's between Jack Blades and Kelly Keagy, you know they have just a stupid amount of talent. It's ridiculous how good they are.
Correctamundo! Kelly got skills! I grew up around the corner from Jeff and The Jeff Watson band was the hot ticket in town until NR hired him, then they became the hot ticket 🤣👍
Probably my favorite NR song. Keagy fuckin rocks on those drums while he belts out kick ass strong vocals simultaneously. Every band member is multi-talented too. Gillis n Watson are 2 of the best modern rock guitarists imo. They both brought innovations to modern playing. Watson w his 8 finger tapping and Gillis w his whammy tricks.
+Dave Rucci I saw Night Ranger with Kiss in the 80's, they were awesome, " Sing me away " is also my Favorite. I saw them in Nashville, Tennessee in Concert. They are very talented.
Stephanie Keele Very cool! I only saw NR once a few years ago at a free downtown Orlando concert. Very good, but I would have preferred to have seen them in their prime with the original 5 member lineup. Btw, have you ever heard of the band Rubicon from the late 70's? Look it up. It was kind of the genesis of the forming of Night Ranger...
Kelly is the best singing drummer there is! If you ever get a chance to see Night Ranger live (yes, they still perform) get as close as you can to Kelly.
Night Ranger was one of my first loves. I've seen well over 100 concerts, and this band hasn't been one of them. Yet. Hang in there guys. I'll get my act together, I promise.
And these my friends,are the real deal rock musicians you will find no better.The.most underrated rock band ever and that's coming strait from the damn heart..
Agreed. It has this wonderful light harmony and toe tapping hooks. And ridiculous skillful playing in the bridge. Awesome tune. Sister Christian killed the band. Sorry Kelly.
Always amazing singing while playing the drums. Deen Castronovo even more amazing singer and drummer. These drummers are going to put lead singers out of work. I really liked this whole hard rock with great melodic sensibility and always great guitar sounds and playing. Keyboardist kind of stayed out of the spotlight it seemed to me but he was good, too. I thought Jack Blades was good but that raspier tone of Kelly just seems to stand out more to me. Good decade to be alive in the civilized world.
On this day in 1983 {February 12th} Night Ranger performed "Sing Me Away" on the ABC-TV Saturday-afternoon program, 'American Bandstand'... Eight weeks later "Sing Me Away" would enter the Billboard's Top 100 chart at position #73, and then four weeks later it would peak at #54 {for 2 weeks}, it spent nine weeks on the Top 100... And on the same episode of 'Bandstand', they also performed "Don't Tell Me You Love Me", at the time "Don't Tell Me You Love Me" was at position #46 on Billboard's Top 100 chart, two weeks later it would peak at #40 {for 3 weeks}, and it spent twelve weeks on the Top 100.. Between 1983 and 1988 the San Franciscan band had eleven Top 100 records with two reaching the Top 10; "Sister Christian" peaked at #5 {for 2 weeks} on June 3rd, 1984 and "Sentimental Street" reached #8 {for 2 weeks} on July 21st, 1985...
Was there great show and great party the night before ,some farmer charged 5 stinking bucks to camp on his land there were fires everywhere and people selling every drug you could think of like a mini woodstock, ozzy closed the show with jake e lee smoken.
wish it wouldve been on the other side of the state , in my area the Detroit area, i wouldve been there , was only 14 couldnt drive to The Zoo or i wouldve :) , did see them 3 times in this area though :)
Jeff Watson & Brad Gillis. Oh yeah. Maybe my favorite twin-guitar attack of all time. Easily in my Top 2 or 3 for sure. Maybe the best. Loved what these 2 guys did together. And what can you say about Jack and Kelly Keagy? Amazing singing drummer. One of my all-time favorite bands, for sure! LOVE these guys.
Omg i saw these guys in 1987. I am pretty sure that Kelly was wearing red and white striped pants but with a yellow shirt. I had such a huge crush on him back then.😊❤
Today we ask why isn't this group or that group in the rock and roll hall of fame? There was so much talent on the scene all at once in the 70's and 80's. Slowly many have made it in and there are still so many deserving.
to dear@ou812als5 I before this comment ou812 was Vanhalen album name? and I can not understand your comment. I Japanese twice comment to MoriKawa Japan. please. I waiting your easy comment. I'm sorry. end/
That name was used for various things before the album. I saw many live bands in the 80's that were NOT this good. Yes, some were. There is something to be said for consistency. Performance after performance after performance consistency. Every great band can have a bad night and every poor band can have a good night. To do one or the other consistently is a measure of greatness or a lack thereof. Van Halen always had howling vocals, spot on harmonies, complex percussive riffs, propulsive pace-setting bass, then there was Eddie and that guitar. To put all of that together and make is sound excellent more nights than not? That is a feat. It's like the Beatles on a rooftop. How many bands could have pulled that off that well? @@userphlglvc
They were awesome live. Sang the lyrics as they were on the album. So many sing live in a totally different tone, or extra words etc. Stevie Nicks was awfullive for the most part. REO was great live, ACDC, you get what I'm saying. Loving some of our great rockers of our time this morning ❤❤❤ have a great day..sing me away NIGHTRANGER❤❤
Saw the guys live around 2011 in London. Despite being held up at the airport with passport issues, arriving late, with minimal backstage warm up, and constant sound issues, they performed spotlessly. That's professional musicianship for you.
That fact that they can play it live without any gimmicks is a testament to the talent in the band. Kind of rushed live but that's just what happens in the moment. These guys and Bad Co. just nail the live stuff. And Cheap Trick of course. Highly recommend you see CT live if the opportunity arises.
Absolutely love this band, they are playing up in Massachusetts on the 29th, wish I could go, tickets are $93, well worth it. Kelly Keagey has a beautiful wife, Monique !
Im a drummer and i got to sit a few feet from kelly backstage and watch him belt it out for 2 hrs....was unreal....his pipes and chops....a highlight for me...

That's no easy chore hitting, holding , and carrying notes like that while drumming....bad ass ....
Man I miss the 80"s
Saw these guys this past weekend in Tuscon, better than ever, they are just great performers and musicians. Very into the crowd having a great time.
Back when the competition in rock music was intense and musicians were high calibre talented and hungry....the good old days
Saw them last night.....again. They never disappoint. Even at their current age.
The 80s were the best. Unreal music
Talent, live without any help from auto tune. That’s a drummer singing lead, with harmony while carrying the time for the song. That doesn’t just happen....it takes practice, a lot of it.🎼🎶🤘😎
Calm the fuck down. This song has a click track all over it.
@@morsecode2112 ok dude. No need for nasty language.
The click track is Kelly Keagy.
@@garyrollins6776 seriously? Didn’t think they did that …..Kelly can sing his ass off….
Absolutely incredible......
Ain't no word's for the drummer and singing at the same time wow. Talent
I have to give major kudos to Night Ranger for being able to keep it together for so many years. If you have ever been in a band you know what I mean. You had TWO lead singers (Jack and Kelly), TWO lead guitar players (Brad and Jeff) and a keyboard player (Alan) that got no press coverage or interviews or pictures in rock magazines and somehow they kept together for about 10 years. That is amazing that all these egos can peacefully co-exist.
Love the band, every member knew and respected their position. Rare thing these days!😮
I seen this band in 1983 at a little amphitheater in Evansville Indiana. They blew me away with their talent. It sounded like I was in a studio. It's one that I will never forget for sure.
I said the same when saw them in '85 in Dothan AL. They sounded just as good live as they did on record!!
Must've been mesker! Great venue!
When within one band you can have a valid argument about 1. who is the best guitar player, and it's between Jeff Watson and Brad Gillis; and 2. who is the best singer, and it's between Jack Blades and Kelly Keagy, you know they have just a stupid amount of talent. It's ridiculous how good they are.
Kelly Keagy - best singer
Brad Gillis was with Ozzy in 1982?
The keyboard player is hardly visible
Two axmen INCREDIBLE!!!!
Saw these guys twice back in their heyday....80's....they were fun and musically talented too.....Rock on Night Ranger!!!!
Saw them a couple of weeks ago ! Still awesome !!
Kelly is an insanely talented guy.. The band sadly was never the same without Jeff Watson
Correctamundo! Kelly got skills! I grew up around the corner from Jeff and The Jeff Watson band was the hot ticket in town until NR hired him, then they became the hot ticket 🤣👍
And Fitz
Its nice to see a band that can play music and not need a lot of flash and bang to wow the audience.
Saw these guys twice live. Phenomenal. Sounded great live
Probably my favorite NR song. Keagy fuckin rocks on those drums while he belts out kick ass strong vocals simultaneously. Every band member is multi-talented too. Gillis n Watson are 2 of the best modern rock guitarists imo. They both brought innovations to modern playing. Watson w his 8 finger tapping and Gillis w his whammy tricks.

+Stephanie Keele I saw that same tour :)
+Dave Rucci they have a lot of good songs...
Think mine's Four in the Morning. But this is a very, very, very, close second.
Thus has to be one of there best ones of all time
Kelly is the best singing drummer there is! If you ever get a chance to see Night Ranger live (yes, they still perform) get as close as you can to Kelly.
Don Henley would like a few bars
@@derektaylor3261 More like Phil Collins
Seriously though, this guy is really good. Could maybe be better than Phil or Don, just not as successful of course.
@@emello4you the whole band isn't as successful but yeah that drummer is great
Don Henley(Eagles),Gil Moore(Triumph)isnt bad either....
I. ♥️♥️♥️ this tune. Beautiful melodies and brilliant musicianship 🎸🎵🥁🤘🏼
Absolutely amazing. Those were the days. Just didn’t know it then.
Night Ranger was one of my first loves. I've seen well over 100 concerts, and this band hasn't been one of them. Yet. Hang in there guys. I'll get my act together, I promise.
I saw them twice in the 80's. Good live band. 80's forever!
Great old Rock and Roll ...True Music...Keep Rocking Night Ranger !!# Loving it All...
In my opinion, the modern era can produce new bands 24/7, BUT, NONE of them will MATCH or SURPASS the caliber or talent of Night Ranger!
NIGHT RANGER IS AWESOME LIVE IN CONCERT!!!!
Talent during the decade when everyone was talented,at some level. Harmony is what got me.🎼🎶❤️😎
Such a kick ass band. Watson and BG are incredible guitar players
Another great band who has two awesome singers Triumph and Night Ranger both front men and drummers have great voices.
Awesome song!! Awesome band! Singing and playing drums, wow!
Amazing!!!
And these my friends,are the real deal rock musicians you will find no better.The.most underrated rock band ever and that's coming strait from the damn heart..
Watched this on television in 1984. This one live performance made me a life-long NIGHT RANGER fan.
Better live than in the studio!!!!!
Great performance, even live these guys sound great .🙏
OMG Missing great music these days, too much of nothing good, we need this back
One of my all-time fave songs by them!!!! I NEED to see them again soon!!!
Agreed. It has this wonderful light harmony and toe tapping hooks. And ridiculous skillful playing in the bridge. Awesome tune. Sister Christian killed the band. Sorry Kelly.
classic ALL TIME amazing vocals and guitar solo - I'm always impressed with drummers who can hold notes like Kelly Keagy
Agree totaly. He and Gil Moore of Triumph. Both awesome drummers and singers!
@@magnuswettermark8293 also I heard the guy from The Eagles (?) was decent 😜
There was some guy from Genesis that was really good. Can't remember his name though.
Deen Castronovo is the best singing drummer. . .
Always amazing singing while playing the drums. Deen Castronovo even more amazing singer and drummer. These drummers are going to put lead singers out of work. I really liked this whole hard rock with great melodic sensibility and always great guitar sounds and playing. Keyboardist kind of stayed out of the spotlight it seemed to me but he was good, too.

I thought they were bit too pop to be a real rock n roll band, but I couldn't help but listening to them day and day out. Very talented musicians
Just think: July 1984, Kalamazoo, MI. The "American Rock Festival" featuring Ratt, Night Ranger, Accept, Quiet Riot, Ozzy Osbourne, and Triumph!
That must have been awesome!
OMG, that HAD TO HAVE been an Awesome Show!!
Was there great show and great party the night before ,some farmer charged 5 stinking bucks to camp on his land there were fires everywhere and people selling every drug you could think of like a mini woodstock, ozzy closed the show with jake e lee smoken.
wish it wouldve been on the other side of the state , in my area the Detroit area, i wouldve been there , was only 14 couldnt drive to The Zoo or i wouldve :) , did see them 3 times in this area though :)
triumph , one very underrated band always over shadowed by the success of Fellow Canadian band RUSH,, Rik Emmett also a very Accomplished guitarist
Brilliant band. Best concert I’ve ever been to and I’ve been to many.
i remember watching this concert on mtv back then it was great
Jeff Watson & Brad Gillis. Oh yeah. Maybe my favorite twin-guitar attack of all time. Easily in my Top 2 or 3 for sure. Maybe the best. Loved what these 2 guys did together. And what can you say about Jack and Kelly Keagy? Amazing singing drummer. One of my all-time favorite bands, for sure! LOVE these guys.
These guys are absolutely great
I love everything about this song forever 💯😍❤🎸❤💯🎸
My absolute favorite Night Ranger Song!!
This was the best decade of music ever
I see NR live at the Florida Theater in Jacksonville 5/19 and I am 5 rows from the stage! Can not wait!
+Raymond Libby hey man im wich ya..
Please take me back to the 80's
DITTO!
Epic Guitars!!!!!!
I'm FLOORED by Brad's guitar playing in Night Ranger and Ozzy Osbourne!
One of my all time favorite bands, just saw them in San Diego a few year ago. 😍
Just can't turn this up loud enough!
Underrated AWESOME band.👍🤗✌️
Saw them last May in Effingham, Illinois. Kicked ass.
saw this tour...Jeff does this guitar solo--I was like WHO IS THIS GUY? Pretty amazing, he is missed in the band for sure!
Omg i saw these guys in 1987. I am pretty sure that Kelly was wearing red and white striped pants but with a yellow shirt. I had such a huge crush on him back then.😊❤
One of the Best Rock Bands in the 80s
Seen them in the 80's and they rocked CT with no issues except I could not hear that well for 2 days
Super distortion an iconic pickup!
In their Prime - So F'n Energetic!! Love You Guys and Glad y'all are still Kickin' it!!
never got to see these guys live but I hope to one day
Love this song forever! !!!!
One of the only bands to sound just like the album when they played live! They were incredible!!!!
Today we ask why isn't this group or that group in the rock and roll hall of fame? There was so much talent on the scene all at once in the 70's and 80's. Slowly many have made it in and there are still so many deserving.
this is one of my favorite songs night ranger is the lick!!!
These guys are still Rockin...
Just how many bands can sound this good live? These guys were talented.
to dear@ou812als5

My favorite NR song, sung by my favorite NR singer. Kelly's awesome.
A great Night Ranger Kelley keagey sounds great, they should rerelease this song now, it's greater rock than now
My very first rock concert: 1985 - Night Ranger in Medford, Oregon. This was always one of their strongest tunes.
Never got to see these guys but I always loved them
great song~
They were awesome live. Sang the lyrics as they were on the album. So many sing live in a totally different tone, or extra words etc. Stevie Nicks was awfullive for the most part.

These guys are absolutely great love them
When I was a teenager I loved this song. It's still good.
My fave NR tune!
same
Saw the guys live around 2011 in London. Despite being held up at the airport with passport issues, arriving late, with minimal backstage warm up, and constant sound issues, they performed spotlessly. That's professional musicianship for you.
Awesome kick ass song. Love this jam. My favorite song from them.
🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
CRANK IT UP LOUD.
Jack Blades had an ensemble of talent and awesome lyrics.1st heard their music in 85.Bannds playing Night Ranger back then
Très cool vous êtes magnifiques merci cela me va droit au cœur 😅😅😅😅😅😅
I see so much talent omg😮
well I mostly remember Gillis. and many do not know he stepped into big shoes to help Ozzy when Rhoades died. he is really good.
He's good but Watson is better
what do you hear when I say to you forever? awesome lyrics...just awesome..
John Rambo
LOVE NIGHT RANGER FOREVER
supere rok
Like this song much better live over the studio version.
That fact that they can play it live without any gimmicks is a testament to the talent in the band. Kind of rushed live but that's just what happens in the moment. These guys and Bad Co. just nail the live stuff. And Cheap Trick of course. Highly recommend you see CT live if the opportunity arises.
It's always so cool to see the drummer do lead vocals!!
Yeah, "Sing Me Away' was my favorite Night Ranger song too!
A JAM
1983 Day on the Green Oakland...These guys, Triumph, & Journey
