Search - Night Ranger :: Live in Japan

A great live album with energy and emotion.

"I am a fan of live albums and this is one of the best. This recording packages an energetic sound when the band was at its peak. The way the music flows and the way the boys work the crowd make you feel you're in the audience (especially if you are listening on headphones). The only drawback is that some key Night Ranger songs are missing (sing me away especially) and that only the first half of Let Him Run is performed. There are several songs on the album that I can't place from any NR album but these are pleasant surprises, Dont Stop Thinking, especially rocks."

A Great Live Artifact From The Late 80s

"LIVE IN JAPAN is a great live album from the 80s, and a refreshing change of pace for those who think that Night Ranger could only cut it in the studio. The album basically sounds like a copy of their studio records with an audience dubbed in, but there are intros and stuff that distinguish these versions from the better-known studio versions. Overall, this is a worthy addition to your Night Ranger library."

NR at their best!

"This is, quite simply, a live album from a great group who were at the pinnacle of their career. Other than the later release of Neverland, their best material is found in their first five albums (Dawn Patrol, Midnight Madness, 7 Wishes, Big Life, Man In Motion). There are some great songs that aren't on here, such as Sing Me Away, Eddie's Comin' Out Tonight, and Sentimental Street, but this is still a great live album full of great songs, so I recommend it. If you like any of their songs from the 80's, you should get Live In Japan."
