Night Ranger - Sing Me Away (Live 1983)

[@brend_piaka]

I find it amazing when the drummer is the lead singer.

[@gregpineda8660]

And just to let you know,And the Night Ranger's bass guitar player or bassist Jack Blades is also their lead vocalist or lead singer.And also,And the Grand Funk Railroad professional drummer and percussionist Don Brewer is also a lead singer in their group,@mcalleyboy7992!!!

[@AngelaGuerry]

Drummer singing lead is awesome. Takes me back to Don as in Henley. I loved Night Ranger from the beginning.

[@gsandwalker]

I want the 80s back!!!

[@terrywade8361]

I was Kelly's Tech can't beat the original lineup still kicks ass

[@BryanK.Inscoe-ig9fi]

You lucky dog.👊🥁🤘

[@gregpineda8660]

And just to let you know,And you are totally right,totally precise and totally correct when you've mean or meant the original line --- up of Night Ranger " still kicks ass."And you are fortunate that you are former Kelly's Tech,@terrywade8361!!!

[@RobertLeven-tw7zw]

Awesome, I'm in a classic cover rock band. I'm the drummer and like Kelly, I sharevlead vocal duties, we do this song, and I sing it

[@RobertLeven-tw7zw]

​@gregpineda8660 a little Fitz Travis for ya. Fitz was the bass player for Montrose on Paper Money, and Warner Bros presents. That's right, I said, Bass. He then played keys for Sammy Hagar musical chairs

[@urberstud]

Night Ranger terribly underrated

[@stevenoliviero3652]

This drummer definitely has got it down to total perfection...

[@dayzey40]

Saw them in concert TWICE!!! 80's had the Best music!!

[@melissadavis225]

Me as well wanted to see them again this month no dice have no money unfortunately. 😢

[@loripfadt3142]

The first time i heard this song on the radio back in 1983, I went right out to the nearest record shop and bought Dawn Patrol, and the rest is history......

[@fivestring65ify]

These guys never got the respect other bands got. They kicked ass. Watson and Gillis were just as hard hitting as Smith and Murray, and a lot heavier than Clark and Collin.

[@tracyhall6195]

The 3 "star" guitar players (Gillis, Watson, and Blades) got quite a bit of the notoriety for Night Ranger's epic sound through their heyday, but Kelly Keagy on drums/vocals and Alan Fitzgerald on keys-synths-piano-vocals really kept these guys grounded and solidly rocking ! ... Kudos, gents !

[@gregpineda8660]

Night Ranger ( the 1980's decade's line --- up or band mates or band members ) is/are : the legendary Kelly Keagy --- lead vocals,percussion and drums the gifted Brad Gillis --- Chief lead guitarist,background vocals and rhythm guitar the incredible Jack Blades --- lead vocals,background vocals and bass guitar the great Jeff Watson --- also lead guitar,background vocals and also rhythm guitar the amazing Alan " Fitz " Gerald --- keyboards and background vocals

[@dcarr70]

Now this is the classic lineup I dig!!! Brad and Jeff tearing it up! Fitz on keyboards! Damn. I wish this version would reunite.

[@ericroll]

This is my favorite Night Ranger song. Live or studio, it's fantastic either way!

[@jloutz]

I think you are right. The official video is so low budget, simplistic and it just works.

[@laddeveritt8933]

You can always tell from live clips if a band is having fun on stage. These guys were clearly totally in the moment.

[@fivestring65ify]

Oh yea. They were living the dream.

[@mitchcarson6309]

Still perform with the same amount of energy today.

[@jntdhome]

Brad and Jeff....as good a twin guitar attack as any other in rock history. Watson with the 8 finger tapping...DAMN!!!

[@JasonMcFly]

Watson is insane! And so low key, flies right under that radar

[@LerockJohn]

So Rock and so Melodic! These guys knew a recipe that few could master in such a short period of time. Pure talent out there! Fan since 1984.

[@mikethaxton4935]

When Dawn Patrol came out i fell in love with Sing Me Away ! Never could get enough of it !! Miss my 80's

[@proudhawkeye]

You Got That Right!!

[@fivestring65ify]

I still remember the first time I heard Don't Tell Me You Love Me on the radio. Been a fan every since.

[@MrHugo126]

@@fivestring65ify Me Too best music ever

[@jeffcampbell2226]

One of The Best Bands Ever PERIOD

[@perpetual61]

Yea the 80's the good old days how I Miss them.

[@mijomcgyver6270]

Amazing live recording of a song from the soundtrack of my teen years. It's a shame that Night Ranger never really got the superstar status they deserved.

[@LerockJohn]

Watson & Gillis one of the best guitar duos ever. They blended together so well. Everybody in the band knew where to stand. Even Fitz, stoic and hyper concentrated while everybody else going crazy...A Band with personality. And amazing classic songs from this first inception. From Canada, Peace out!

[@jimgreene2147]

Watson's sick badass playing and his goldilocks LP is the coolest guitar in rock history. I miss this band so much!

[@fictaufmann7423]

my fave love song back when I was a 14yo kid in 1984..great..great..rock band ever

[@2010utube100]

AWESOME song!!!! Hard to believe Jack Blades is 29 yrs old in 1983. He looks like a little kid.

[@sauquoit13456]

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...

[@timothya.olmeda7299]

I remember it well. They were the first band for me that I witnessed long before they got popular. Those early concerts being filmed and played on a regular basis throughout 1983-84 on broadcast television was a treasure to remember for sure. The band’s music was so melodic and full of emotion and very memorable, and they executed it live unlike any other. It was great to be young and witness it back in the early 80’s. The KZbin time machine brings it back.

[@alexsaucedo8032]

My favorite song by them. Love this jam CRANK IT UP LOUD. This song ROCKS 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@templar6801]

Brad Gillis is just an awesome guitarist. Gillis and Jeff Watson are just an awesome guitar duo !!! They both had just good chemistry feeding off each other ! Just a kick butt song !!

[@wesloroff646]

and Brad filling in for the late Randy Rhoads. Man can you imagine filling into them shoes?. Hats off to Brad

[@fivestring65ify]

So much fun to watch those guys play.

[@robg8784]

Jeff Watson Tearing it up !! dammm

[@scottmay4291]

Yep. That guy is a player.

[@werearethedreamteam3724]

G man 10 he is one of the greatest guitarist ever I think in the top 10 of all time thats freackin huge....

[@alanreid477]

The best band in the history of rock! 2 Guitarists 2 Singers🤷 enough said.

[@timothymidgett9730]

I saw them live in concert in 1985 in Dallas Texas. They played for 2 hours and put on a great show!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@craigkelm488]

So great. Sounds better live than studio. Glad they're still out there!

[@dimebag6384]

1st two night ranger albums are awesome, not a bad song on them! 1980s was a great time to be alive🤘

[@Top40Music]

If there was ever a category for a song that give you goosebumps when you hear the Chorus , this song fits the bill . Brilliant Writing !

[@GenghisKen]

One of the best live bands, I've ever seen

[@bradbiltoft6860]

My favorite song of all time!! The last song I heard before I left for army basic training. I sang it to myself as I layed in my bunk at night.

[@markbirchette8740]

Gillis and Watson were magic unmatched!

[@sonnyd1222]

Still my favorite Night Ranger tune along with Goodbye! Kelly is my drum crush!

[@scottmay4291]

Saw them play this live back in the day at Irvine Meadows. The opening riffs just grab you. Amazing tune. Best of the set for me. In the pit and Cheap Trick opened. Great friggin" show. Met Jeff briefly as well. Nice man with really long fingers which he knows how to use. Miss these days but at least I got to experience it.

[@wesloroff646]

One of my favorite Ranger tunes, probably the best

[@JohnJRambo-zs5ve]

thanks so much for posting this....I go back in time for a while when this song plays....I wanna go back...

[@55Porter]

Can't get much more melodic than these guys!

[@garygolfer3243]

Let's not forget the Jeff Watson Band in the late 70's/early 80's. Everyone in the neighborhood went ballistic when he signed on with Night Ranger. Well, everyone under 30...

[@billsimmons5186]

Saw couple weeks ago ! Their still Great!!! Awesome show!!! Never gets old !!!!

[@lisamerrill24]

Same year I met them at Manteca Waterslides where I worked. They played a concert there. Have a pic of me and Kelly. He was my fave! Oh where in the hell does tne time go? Wish there was a way to get back home to 1983 when so many of my loved ones were still alive. Sing me away.

[@marvwatkins7029]

A lot heavier than as I remember them. Great guitar work.

[@andrewsaul8680]

[@stevensmith8538]

It's a rarity for 80's hard rock bands. Kelly is a very good singer and musician. NR has a signature sound that's like ear candy.

[@dennyramsey8774]

He has always been a pretty fair guitar player

[@fivestring65ify]

Brilliant. Awesome. Phenomenal. Sorry. Pretty fair doesn't fit Watson.

[@robertsole9970]

He’s not just doing a hammer on, he’s hammering it then actually plucking the string up with his fingers. That’s giving the doubling sound. Try it.

[@davidmoskowitz1801]

Too bad Jeff Watson isn't with the band anymore.

[@bannsidereddie]

Two words JEFF WATSON!!!!

[@TheColossusofRhodes]

I think he got his release at 5:21

[@BaoNguyen-sh1kg]

2:23

[@kenr.b.891]

Anyone tried the Jeff Watson 8 finger technique? I've tried and I still don't have it down.

[@Shadowwolf7774]

NIGHT RANGER SHOULD HAVE BEEN BIGGER THAN MOTLEY CRUE!!!

[@laddeveritt8933]

interesting solo from Watson that is as much performance as chops.

[@lostinspacerobinson1527]

Damn , to a girl I've never seen... Only talk too ..

[@richardr2535]

Eddie Who

[@mikefuller6030]

he couldnt carry eddie pick

[@derekgriffith4324]

There's not a guitarist anywhere from any Era that makes that question relevant. Eddie van halen is and always will be the king. Jeff Watson is great but I assure you that if Eddie hadn't did what he did Jeff wouldn't be doing what he did

[@orlg21]

CM song in Japan ever

[@mksland3884]

Too bad they had so many ballads!

[@craigkelm488]

Sorry Jeff.. you were great, but Brad blew you off the planet
