That took me back! Way back in my teens. Before cellphones & internet. Best days of my life....

I've seen these guys so many times. As a lead guitarist, I always tried to steal licks from Brad. I also am an huge fan of the late Randy Rhodes. I saw him before his tragic death, with Ozzy. I also saw Brad Gilles with Ozzy. Brad took over for Randy Rhodes and finished the world tour. He was fantastic, and obviously he had tremendous respect for RR, as a guitarist, a fan, and a friend. Brad seamlessly filled unfillable shoes, and was grieving,as well we're, yet I could tell he was under so much self inflicted pressure to do his best for Randy's memory. Brad was as fast, as gifted, and he did it right, in my book. I've seen Night Ranger more than 10 times. And was never disappointed. And I got to meet and rap with Brad between sets at a place in Kenosha, WI called "The Brat Stop." It's a well know club about 5 miles North of the Wisconsin/Illinois border. We talked like friends. Just two dudes who love guitar and the stuff that all guitarists do. I told him that I didn't know how to read music, and if I would've taken lessons, I would've probably quit. He totally understood, and he showed me a couple tricks that helped me because I have big hands, and thick fingers. The rest of the night, he would connect with me by winking, and then he would face me and show me how to deal with my issue. It was so cool, and a small venue, which made it even more cool. I asked him if he could squeeze in "Good Bye." He said it wasn't on the list, and then at the end of the encore, he pointed me out to Jack, and said "my friend Jeff asked me if we were going to play "Good Bye" and told Jack that I was a lead guitarist. Jack said, maybe he'd like to play it with us, and yes. I got to follow Brad on the final lead break!! I was so nervous, but I knew the studio version note for note. It was a fucking dream come true, and I found my zone. I had the long hair, and was wearing a Motorhead shit Black with White sleeves. I shocked the girl that I brought with me. She was speechless. For quite awhile, about 15 minutes. It was so unreal, to communicate with a true guitar hero on stage, the way musicians do. Through their instruments. I'll always love Night Ranger. Brad planned it the moment he told me it wasn't on the set list. And he had the crew set up one of his guitars, and gave me a channel. Pretty fucking AWESOME!!

Been one of my favorites si ce the 80s and now in 2020. One of the greatest, stellar musicians.

The first time I heard this song was on American Bandstand when they performed and I was immediately hooked. Went out and bought the cassette and played it to death! Dawn Patrol is an epic album.

Always were better musicians than other bands. The guitars sound so good and the overall mix is killing it.

I saw this band in 1983 they were great then awesome to see them still going.

Still got it! After all these years!!!

This is so dam good. I'm amazed at the energy and ability of these guys.

Some of the original Monsters of Rock. Still sounding fantastic. Love live Night Ranger. No matter who plays that second solo, to me it's always a tribute to the genius of Jeff Watson. One of the classiest guys to ever pick up a guitar.

Good Lord in heaven...the musicianship and guitarwork!!! wow...

This song never stopped banging.

These Guys rocked this!!! Love them.....ALL of them!!!!🎶💜❣

That middle part really fucks with the mood and continuity of the song god damnit

I clicked on this link not knowing what to expect 30 years later. This is a really good performance, thanks guys!

Wow, they still ROCK.

Not putting the original guy down, but I saw this performed live at Jones Beach with Joel Hoekstra a few years back, and WOW was it a pleasure to see this song finally brought to its full potential. You'd have to hear it live to really appreciate it; but it was just this total *explosion* of energy!

I dont care how old this music is! These guys are the epitome of the TWIN GUITAR ATTACK!

My favorite video of this classic rock song! Awesome!!!

Love Night Ranger!! They were my first concert!! It was 1985 & I was 12!!

Seen them in Colorado Springs at the Air Force Academy. When and got tickets second row center. Long hair and a beard..... Then we find out that the first 10 rows are for the Cadets... As me and my friend had long hair we were picked out all the time ( We also didn't have the Cadet uniform ) was a good concert. No one else couldn't believe we got them seats...That was in the eary 90s, Maybe late 80s ...... Still am a rocker.

Still rockin it after all these years. I miss seeing Jeff Watson playing opposite, but man he played Jeff's solo note for note. GREAT! Saw them 3x back in the 80s. They were, and still are a great talented rock band. Brad Gillis is flipping awesome!

Miss this good old fun rock n' roll.

I grew up with Joel listening to NR and I can really say that this jam sounds better today than it ever did back in the day. Keep up the sikkk talent Joel!

I keep watching this over and over! Amazing! I love these guys! I've always loved this song and group...Keep rockin'!

sounds great! and these guys are still rockin hard! i love it

Killed it! Night Ranger forever

I saw NR during their 7 Wishes tour in 1985. I was a huge Jeff Watson fan. I never thought they'd be good without him - but Joel rocks!

Joel is a perfect fit for this legendary band and taking over Watson's lead duties

Great job guys, loved every second!!

I know Joel and is a shame he has not gotten his full due. He's an absolute virtuoso! We got to meet when he was doing Rock of Ages on Broadway (which he absolutely ROCKED). He's one of the good guys to boot. Always a friend and fan and wishing him the best.

This is so freakin fantastic!💞🎼🎶💖

I love Jack Blade's energy and Brad Gillis is a freak on guitar. Legend. Love it.

How can you thumb down 60 yr old guys rockin like this? Someone's got issues.

Hi Taylor, impeccable timing, fills, You nailed it perfectly!... amazing job. I am learning this song. Thank You for posting it!

I really love these guys!! ALWAYS have. Even the original Night Ranger

You guys sound GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wish I could give that two thumbs up!👍🏿👍🏿

A dying breed...music will suck after the 80s..greatest decade of metal!

Nice to see musicians still willing to work for a living.. Bad-Ass!!

This version blasts !!!!!!

Hell yeah I love everything about this song forever 🤘😍😎💯🎸❤

Night Ranger reminds me of Winger in that they just don't get the respect they deserve for the first-class and world-class musicians they are...these guys are HIGHLY TALENTED MASTERS of rock music !!

The playing is superb as usual!

Love them live!

Bad ass song!!!!!

That was great! Really great!

Great stuff right there.

Excellent - miss this stuff

What a great find for me . True performance

When this song came out,and us guitar players heard the solo we were all like,what the FFFF

Joel's guitar tone is KILLER.... reminds me of King Edward's tone.

I saw them a few time in the 80s and they are still just as good. Great rock band.

Awesome!!!

Holy shit! I am grateful I grew up with these kind of bands, great fun we had!! The band's of the 70s and 80s were no joke, hands down, real ass kicking jetstar mf's! Wish I could go back to those day's and forget the crap we live day to day now, a time before all the hatred and politics filled people's heads. At least it in my heart, and the world can't take that memory away 😉👍❤

I've got one of those Taylor SB1 Electric. Freakin awesome.

always PERFECT.
