Night Ranger / REO Speedwagon Clearwater, FL 4/25/09

Night Ranger kicked SERIOUS a$$ for an hour!

Then we left before REO Speedwagon played.


Thanks!

LOL. Glad you had fun at Night Ranger. I saw them in 1983 with Loverboy, 38 Special and Foreigner.

I would have loved to have been at that show if I weren't 9 years old at the time.

No love for the Speedwagon?

Really, REO would have just disappointed us after such a good Ranger show. I'm a moderate REO fan, but a lifelong Night Ranger fan.

If I'm remembering correctly the show was about 2 months before my 13th birthday.

Spec, can you give us a setlist for what Night Ranger played. I've always loved Night Ranger. Did you ever pick up their latest album? I still haven't heard it, but wouldn't mind some feedback.

I started writing down the setlist but got tired of doing it.

Here's what I remember:

This Boy Needs To Rock (was surprised they played this one plus they intertwined it with "Highway Star")
Sing Me Away
Coming of Age (Damn Yankees cover)
Sentimental Street
When You Close Your Eyes
Four In The Morning
The Secret of My Success (big surprise!)
Eddie's Comin' Out Tonight (another surprise)
Don't Tell Me You Love Me


Encore:
Sister Christian
You Can Still Rock In America

Such a great show! I was surprised they did zero new songs.

metalin, yes I have their new album. It's pretty good, not amazing, but good. They have some modern elements but their sound is prettyy similar to their heyday, although the songwriting really isn't as good as it used to be, IMO.

No new songs!!!

Oh my God. I would think they would want to let their fanbase know that they have something new out. Wow, I'm shocked. Very nice setlist by the way...

I saw Night Ranger live in 1985, for the life of me I cannot remember who opened, I told the girl I was with I did not want to go blah blah blah, but I secretly enjoyed the show, and she had the time of her life, she didn't think the concert was too bad either.

Night Ranger eff'ing KILLS live!!!! Great band!!!
