2001 Night Ranger - "Goodbye" (from TNN)

[@ubettawrkb1tch132]

These men should have multiple Grammy awards on their shelves. The recording industry is an absolute farce.

[@Texman4268]

MCA records and their stupid BS the way they treated the band.

[@BigfootandMore]

I agree. These guys couldn't write a bad song if they tried.

[@longgangteam1089]

Exactly what I've been saying for yaers!!! Night Ranger will always be my favorite band!!!

[@bls8959]

Definitely an underrated band

[@michaelwallbrown3726]

no shit

[@Texman4268]

I can remember watching the World Premiere of the video for this on MTV. Back when MTV and music was good!!!

[@dbshort01]

Most underrated rock band all time

[@davidcollins6455]

U could put y&t in this category also

[@HeRacesTheSun]

Nonsense, what bogus rating system are you referring to?

[@joeteague5371]

This song hits my heart in so many ways. Lost my wife of 31 years in January 2017 this song helped me heal in some ways.

[@lillacoix9808]

I am so sorry you have lost your best friend and love of your life. Keep the faith that you will see her again💕

[@MsTimrussell]

I lost my wife of 4 years in 2011 - inherited heart disease at 37 . This song helps me also . Wishing you well at this time of year - Xmas peace

[@johnresor2477]

God bless you, my friend!

[@craigspoor5556]

I'm working out of town. I recieve a call from my sister to come home. She tells me "Dad is sick" I ask , what is it? She tells me just come home. I get home he had died of a heart attack at 51. I was 21 That was in 91. Now I'm 51 to the day of the age he was. I have a son who just turned 22. The moral of the story. I never got to say Goodbye. Great song... Singing this one for you tonight dad. Your grandson is a awesome young man. One more time for good luck. Goodbye

[@wkrp71]

Kelly Keagy, is definitely an under-rated songwriter singer, and musician. Probably due to him being a drummer. As a fellow drummer, it's EXTREMELY difficult to be a singer and drummer, let alone singing challenging leads parts. Kelly, good job brother! B

[@mrwp819300]

Actually, with Jeff, Jack, Eric and Brad, did it matter who sang lead? They could make a house fire rock, But, if Kelly would just make the original noises...all would be right with the world. see... www.joblo.com/videos/movie-clips/boogienights-sisterchristian

[@thesouthernerwithadhd2710]

That must be why he's not playing drums here, or why Phil Collins didn't play drums & sing live.

[@shawnsnow8900]

I can’t imagine how hard. I can’t sing and play the guitar. But what a song.

[@kevinh2319]

Phil Collins. Don Henley. Ginger Baker.

[@tomscheffer8187]

I must have watched this a thousand times over the years and...it never gets old. While the album version is good...this version is just perfect as it conveys the gut wrenching saying goodbye to the ones we love and even ourselves from certain stages in life. From the opening with Jack and Kelly singing together to Kelly getting behind the drums and just pouring it all out. This may make me a wuss but, it totally chokes me up!

[@ubettawrkb1tch132]

Nope, not a wuss at all. You just know amazing music when you hear it! :)

[@jimmyz2098]

I'm right there with you, Tom. Does the same thing to me, all these years later. It still does it. Because it's that good. I feel the same way you do, Brother.

[@bls8959]

Wish we had this full concert in better quality

[@johnwagner4559]

Nope, means you have a warm heart....which is rare these days. Don't change for anyone. 👌

[@1909torino]

This is America's Rock Band from the 80's pure and simple.

[@jannaf1sher]

The Crescendo at the end… when it just kicks into high gear,, after over thirty years.. STILL brings me to tears. Thank you guys.😢

[@dangibson906]

A remarkable, incredibly touching 5 minutes of sound .... it's firmly in my Top Ten all-time.

[@tomhertz1614]

WOW. Amazing band and incredible meaningful song. Always loved it and never knew it was a out Jacks brother. CHILLS. They sound amazing .

[@sw00p99]

this is a song about love, life, loss and letting go. to put all these in one song with a haunting yet beautiful melody is truly a combination of raw emotion and pure talent. long live the 80's

[@theunknown4570]

When songs actually meant something .

[@shawnhellman6701]

Real music...

[@jlaws007BD]

Not the 🗑 they play anymore 🤫🤭🤢🤮

[@soundadvice2k]

Where are you now Jeff Watson? I wish you were still in Night Ranger.

[@Supermonkey22]

Kelly Keagy..one of the best, soulful voices in all of music. A classic NR tune. Thank you 4 posting.

[@alanwilds721]

Wow! This song brings countless amazing memories of high school days flooding right back. What a great time to be alive. Had all my friends, girlfriends, good times, crazy nights, the older generation of my family still happy and healthy. All passed too soon without realizing I was living the dream at the time. Night Ranger was the real deal and this was their best song!

[@danielgrattan2353]

Night Ranger.... Talented beyond words... Great 80s and current band!!

[@brknbar]

I think Jack's brother smiles everytime he hears this song! Jack created a soulful ray of light with this one. Liked it a ton back in the day....... like it even better now knowing the background of why he wrote it. thanx for posting

[@GunnarJ94]

This is my favorite song hands down. Most beautiful lyrics, and reminds me of how I feel when I lose someone. Brad Gillis is an amazing guitar player.

[@shelgirl001]

I just love this song!! This version is really neat! The song has so many meanings.

[@jimmyz2098]

IMO, this is one of the greatest Pop / Rock songs ever written. Absolutely incredible. These guys were such amazing musicians and song-writers. Still are. I so wish that Jeff Watson was still in the Band. But I also understand about relationships. Sometimes it just doesn't work after a long while. I still love him - and still love Night Ranger. One of my All-Time favorite Bands. And this - this is probably my all-time favorite performance of theirs. Seen em' live several times, and they are one of my all-time faves. This is my favorite song of theirs - and one of my all-time faves - period. But this performance - EPIC!

[@davidpennell1389]

Similar to my life & thinking about how blessed we are.thinking for that special song that connected to inside my soul. I'm believe the magic of music.

[@ufgtr1992]

I just saw Night Ranger perform this song at Epcot in Disney World last weekend, and it was fantastic. They sound better today than they did 25 years ago!

[@chefboyaurd]

I just heard this version for the first time. My life is changed.

[@hawkeye9090]

God, 23 years after I first heard them live, and they still give me goose bumps. what a band.

[@biarritz59]

Love the voice of Jack Blades

[@Miadolph]

Such a great song! Brad never gets the credit for the great guitarist that he is.

[@grking7731]

Very good Gerard, Brad has Ben and always will be the best of the Guitarist

[@slayer-kq7hv]

Listen to him on Ozzy Osbourne's speak of the devil album perfection....

[@mattnelson4387]

Actually performed live, drummer as lead singer, two phenomenal guitarists, and a bass ❤player/lead singer/ songwriter= amazing talent!!!

[@blakebarker2593]

I was born in 2001 but I heard this song one time and I loved and I'm still hooked:)

[@kimberlee4957]

I love this!! Drums was totally awesome here, all of it was, really!! To be honest, one could feel something at the end with the guitar and drums together. Mind blowin music that really matters/mattered. Freakin chills I get!!! To me, that's what music is all about.

[@thesouthernerwithadhd2710]

Except Kelly didn't play the drums until nearly 4mins into a 5min song.

[@FALCON21301]

Kelly is another one of those good drummers with a great voice as well!! multi talanted for sure... sounds good

[@finalapproach2ify]

Very powerful. I cant think of a more talented band.....ever. A tribute to all those special to us who have passed. Goodbye.

[@cabinfolks991]

Just saw Night Ranger in concert. Truly awesome show and absolute Rock Stars. They wrote storylines from my life.

[@terryquesenberry9218]

Graham High! BLUEFIELD, VA 89 -90

[@thomaswaters4963]

By far Night Ranger's greatest song ever.Musical brilliance at its best!Love you guys!☝️👍👏

[@mikejacken]

it's hard living life on this memory- go -round

[@MrPESensation]

Very hard to say "Goodbye" to the ones we have lost over time...

[@fenton1017]

This version is better than the original video version. I had a chance to go see these guys live in '87 and in '88. Awesome show.

[@oakron]

saw them 2x in the 80s during high school. Saw them again in 2002 Alameda county Fair... Love them..... Will be forever a Night Ranger Fan,, Stacie Martin-Fresno, Pleasanton California

[@gregoryvanhalen]

Killer guitar player and killer wicked talented drummer.

[@earnhardt3613]

Lost my dad in 1994 he was only 50 year's young.... I never got to say GOODBYE....This song alway's hit home.

[@kimbarnett619]

Me too 30 years today happy 4th dad❤

[@serekithegreat]

Awesome! Damn, I miss my high school days. Thanks for posting this video.

[@P51]

I saw these guys a couple times in the ‘80s-Usually as the opener. NOBODY rocked harder than they did. They were IT.

[@ufgtr1992]

@n8tureboy They played at the pavilion by the American Adventure. It was amazing. They played 3 separate 45-min. sets over the afternoon and evening, and we caught the first two. The first set was fully electric, and they closed with 'You Can Still Rock in America', and the second set was acoustic, with a great cover of 'High Enough' by Damn Yankees, and of course an incredible finale with 'Goodbye'.

[@82sweetheart]

I can really relate to this song ~ my Sister Betty died unexpectedly in 2000 of a cerebral hemorrhage~I didn't get to tell her Goodbye ~ Thanks Jack for writing this beautiful song!!

[@mathmusic1490]

This is hands down beautiful............go see and hear the recorded version....doesn't have the harmony but has even better sound, perhaps: More electric like the second part here. Thank you, Jack Blades!

[@tigerbalm666]

Such a heartfelt song from a great band. A time when music was real.

[@lillyaneronan9759]

Kelly and Jack are greatness!!!

[@jeffscarmack5330]

Just freaking awesome! I get chills when I watch this.

[@ricresch]

it's cool that this song was profiled on the nashville network. just goes to show that beautiful music like this can transcend all music genres and has the power to reach everybody.

[@craigsporalski7449]

These guys belong in the rock and roll hall of fame. Unfortunately they'll probably never get there but so much more deserving than some of the acts already there.

[@velinawelch7705]

I've been a fan of Jack and Night Ranger since the 80s and I knew abt his brother and that he wrote this song for him. Jack had been on Celebrity Ghost Stories abt an experience he had (not related to his brother) then a couple of yrs ago was on "The Haunting Of..."which is a follow up and medium Kim Russo tries to find out what the meaning of the experience was. I'd seen other ppl on the show and knew that a lot of times she gets msgs from their loved ones who have passed,and I had thought his brother will come through...sure enough he did! He gave Kim a msg abt how much the song meant to him. I know a lot of ppl don't believe in those things..but I do! I also know there are some fakes...but not Kim...I feel like she is very real!

[@werearethedreamteam3724]

+velina welch likewise and thats what i grew up on..

[@brianparrish8998]

I love this band. Songs like this never get old.

[@zelilee5312]

Heard this song when I was in middle school, just tugged at my heartstrings.

[@Dbunkr55]

Great band...Gillis plays with so much feeling.

[@JohnWilliams-yh4vf]

One of the greatest bands of their time,..

[@nostalgiajim]

The whole lineup from "the day" is something grand and spectacular....i just didn't know it when I was a teenager back in them days....I do now.

[@denisehedden13]

🥀Amazing song it comes from his heart that's for sure. I love this song God Bless you all🥀☝️🥀🕊🥀

[@mikejacken]

night ranger will be performing at depere, Wisconsin on may 28th,2016. we'll see you there!!!

[@cheeseyboi100]

Goosebumps...

[@574finishguy]

Absolutely AWESOME!!!!

[@cafepuya]

I don’t know if it’s Alan Fitzgerald in keyboards, but if it was him, is good to see the original line up playing together.

[@reallyboardstiff]

I you have never seen NR in concert than you are missing out. Old school rock the kind that sounds better live than on their albums. Thanks NR.

[@tshock22]

BEAUTIFUL performance. This song really brings back the memories for me.

[@bartolemeo]

beautiful job, Mr. Keagy

[@leecooper9716]

Just put simply, AMAZING!

[@etallman68]

I seriously miss the 80s and music/bands like this. Thx youtube for keeping it all alive for us!

[@Gizapowerplant]

When we were kings!

[@10shrek10]

this is awsome...i just watched them sing this tonight in a night ranger concert

[@Angelitaabraga]

thank you so much. awesome song!!

[@Ranger11413]

Brad broke a string towards the end but made the best of it. Great band. Great songs. Deserved so much more for their work.

[@reallyboardstiff]

what a great version! i will be seeing them in may!

[@adamtheberge9329]

This version is actually better than the studio version in my opinion, awsome

[@james17raider22]

That was actually very very good!

[@wildmike951]

How can Jack Blades not come to tears playing and singing this is amazing. It is about his brother. Amazing song and band.

[@raulvelez-ca]

I just want to dedicate this song to SPECIAL person who lost his battle with the fucking cancer 5 years ago but today I can fill it like y still here with us. Alberto we love you for always. GOODBYE COUSIN R.I.P

[@82sweetheart]

Watching this in memory of my nephew, Curt ~ he passed away Jan. 27, 2002, (my birthday) \|m|

[@pepp5150]

God Bless..!! RIP... Beautiful song..!!

[@82sweetheart]

@bomis4 ~ My Heart goes out to you ~ I've lost both parents, a brother and sister and a nephew ~ all gone too soon!! But it's songs like this one, that help me to keep my spirits up and their memories will forever live in my heart, so hold on to their memories my friend!! Blessings to you!!

[@reallyboardstiff]

damit this song sounds great! they sound great live. long live the 80's and youtube!!

[@Texman4268]

I love these guys but I prefer Jeff's solo in the middle of the song. The ride out solo Brad does is so good too. Glad they brought back the heavy ending for this...

[@Chartreuse03]

Last part gives me chills

[@bomis4]

@82sweetheart-Thank-you very much,and im sorry for your loses as well!Happy New Year to you,and my this year be filled with laughter and Joy for all thaat are near and dear to you 82 sweetheart.

[@Hedrushn]

great song, true to life, thank u jack blades/night ranger

[@ScottJGarvey]

When this song came out it turned them into Superstars. 1985 I believe. I was 14. Awesome vocals and dueling guitars is their signature.

[@boblackey1]

Wow you have taken it on the chin! I've lost most of my family too. Still miss my mom & dad so much. I know how it feels. I'm dedicating my view of this song to Betty & her son. And my mum!!

[@Amigos-X-Amor]

Oh my God too much heart touching ...SUPER

[@82sweetheart]

Today, March 11, '11 would have been my nephew's birthday ~ he died on my birthday in 2002, and fortunately I did get to tell him "goodbye" ~ I was with him in his last hours. He was more like my little brother than my nephew. Please take the time to tell those you care about how much they mean to you ~ so that you'll never have to regret not saying "goodbye"!! MISS YOU CURT!! Thanks to Night Ranger and Jack Blades for writing this song!!

[@carlosaguilar6589]

This Has to be one of the most epic ballads ever -

[@82sweetheart]

I appreciate your comment Jimmy ~ I am ~ there are days though when I miss them so much ~ Curt was Betty's son ~ I lost my sister Betty and her son, my nephew, Curt within a span of 15 months ~ I've also lost both parents, a brother, a brother-in-law, sister-in-law and several other close relatives ~ I have learned to deal with death and grief ~ and it's made me appreciate Life so much more ~ I know that we aren't guaranteed a "tomorrow" ~ so I try to live each day like it's my last : )

[@allfu93]

man, i love this song, ima so play this at my skool for my graduation!!!! its gonna be hard to leave it all behind me and even harder for me to say goodbye!

[@brandonseyfried1251]

Great song. I would like to have heard Jack and Tommy Shaw do a Damn Yankees version.

[@thedemoninmybrain]

haven't missed a step. reminds me of seeing them in the great pacific northwest in my youth. amazing band.

[@olegv.khlevniuk2391]

People really need to save all if their underrated comments for a band like this.....you know......a band that's actually underrated

[@wmbny9]

MR Blades , my name is walter blythe i have served in the south bronx for the last 20 years my brother died of complications of diabetes...just wish i had your articulations when it came down to words......GOD Bless you my friend

[@joshuaecht]

I love how it powers up at the end! Normally I like how the song plays as is, but the acoustic lead in was cool, then it kicked ass at the backend. Very talented, from Keagy to Watson and Blades. They remind me a bit of Damn Yankees and .38 Special.

[@hayksayadyan8339]

It's no coincidence that you mentioned Damn Yankees, since Jack Blades was part of Damn Yankees (along with Ted Nuget, Tommy Shaw and Michael Cartellone). I mean, Blades is a very prolific songwriter, having written *tons* of songs not just with Night Ranger, but across a variety of records.

[@MelanieWhitt]

i know how he feels i lost my grandpa my best friend had to say goodbye was so hard

[@werearethedreamteam3724]

+Melanie Whitt You know there is life after death.You just got to understand and live your life right in which is not easy at all..thanxs and god bless

[@MelanieWhitt]

yeah i know and thank you for your kind words & god bless you too

[@jcreed7249]

Great song, well done Kelly.

[@dyno1316]

No other band play with such a passion.

[@jlaws007BD]

Wish I could travel back to this time; knowing what I know now 😔 85 or even before, and this song transports me there mentally 🕺🎤🎸🎶 🎼🤘

[@n2091m]

Awesome in the 80's, awesome here in 2001 and awesome still today. This one will never die!

[@larrytorrez7079]

This song brings back some memories. For me it was I listened to to help me learn to deal with the loss of my Isabella.
