Jack Blades
Night Ranger left an indelible mark with a string of best-selling albums that sold more than 16 million copies worldwide. The band’s popularity was fuelled by an impressive string of instantly recognizable hit singles and signature album tracks, including “Sister Christian,” “(You Can Still) Rock In America,” “When You Close Your Eyes,” “Sentimental Street,” “Goodbye” and the aforementioned “Don’t Tell Me You Love Me.” Harnessing the frenetic drive of heavy metal to hook-laden rock songs, throwing in a stunning twin lead guitar team, and melodious, radio-friendly power ballads, Night Ranger inspired new descriptive phrases such as “melodic metal” and “metal power pop”. They became the standard-bearer of a new sound. The bright lights and rock ‘n’ roll nights never end for Night Ranger. You can still Rock in America!
In celebration of their 35+ year career, this new live album, featuring all their classic and most recent hits, sees the band at the top of their game, delivering a superb performance not to be missed! Recorded May 7, 2016 concert at the the House Of Blues in Chicago, Illinois.
Formed in the early '90s, Damn Yankees featured guitarist Ted Nugent, Styx guitarist/vocalist Tommy Shaw, Night Ranger bassist/vocalist Jack Blades, and drummer Michael Cartellone. They released two platinum albums with a bunch of radio-friendly tracks and had a Top 5 hit with the ballad High Enough. Originally released on VHS in 1992, and now on DVD for the first time, this features the band at it's peak in a live concert filmed at the Rocky Mountain Jam in Denver, Colorado. It is the only video footage available documenting this brief but popular union. The DVD Includes behind-the-scenes rehearsal and recording sessions, plus exclusive backstage footage and interviews with the band.
TMG LIVE TOUR "Dodge The Bullet" was a live tour held by TMG (Tak Matsumoto Group) in 2004. The tour ran from July 3, 2004 to September 7, 2004. The band played a sixteen-song set, including all songs from TMG I apart from "My Alibi". Additionally, the band performed a full-band acoustic rendition of Mr. Big's "To Be With You" and a cover of Night Ranger's "(You Can Still) Rock in America". One month prior to the tour proper, the band appeared as one of the featured acts at annual Japanese music festival SUMMER SONIC 04 to play a truncated setlist of ten songs. The tour finale was filmed and released on DVD and VHS.
Running 21 minutes, this DVD contains the videos for five of Night Ranger's first six chart singles, including the group's two Top Ten hits, "Sister Christian" and "Sentimental Street." The clips are each little films that, in the typical fashion of music videos, have something to do with the songs that serve as their soundtracks and allow plenty of space for the group members, particularly singer/bassist Jack Blades, to shake their curls and emote in performance.
