Night Ranger/CA,USA 1985 Soundboard Edition

NIGHT RANGER in 1985 was in the midst of its heyday, sending “7 WISHES” to the top 10 in the US. The release of a superb soundboard album that will pour that live performance into your brain has been decided. This work contains the “September 25, 1985 Irvine performance”. This is a stereo soundboard recording. Speaking of the “7 WISHES” era, it was a memorable peak season, with two visits to Japan. First, let’s unravel the overview of the activities at that time and explore the position of this work. 1985 April 19-May 2: Japan #1 (8 performances) {7 WISHES released on May 20th} May 26-June 14: Europe (11 performances) June 27-December 31: North America #1 (77 performances) ←★Here★ 1986 January 27-30: Japan #2 (4 performances) February 2-March 15: North America #2 (16 performances) July 4-September 20: North America #3 (7 performances) November 20: Syracuse performance This is NIGHT RANGER in the “7 WISHES” era. The world tour, approaching 130 performances, was truly worthy of being called the heyday. The Irvine performance of this work was the 32nd performance of “North America #1”, which was the main leg among them. As some of you may have already noticed, this show is also famous for the official video work “7 WISHES TOUR”, but this work is not the audio drop. In fact, this day was also broadcast on the famous “WESTWOOD ONE” program “Superstar Concert Rock Series” before the official work, and this work is the FM sound board. Of course, it is a classic with various pre-releases only for famous broadcasts, but this work is also the highest peak. It has been digitized directly from the unused broadcast master. Since it is a radio, it is of course professionally finished, and the mix is ​​specialized for home audio playback, and since it is a master recording, there are no dubbing marks. It is exactly the perfect official class quality. The ultimate quality is the NIGHT RANGER in the middle of its heyday. The set that condenses and reduces the first three works is super best, but it also has a real-time feeling different from the Greatest Hits Live that was organized later. Let’s organize the contents here. Seven Wishes (5 songs) Seven Wishes / This Boy Needs To Rock / Sentimental Street / Four in the Morning / Faces (★) Others (9 songs) Dawn Patrol: Sing Me Away / Eddie’s Comin’ Out Tonight / Night Ranger / Don’t Tell Me You Love Me Midnight Madness: Rumours In The Air / When You Close Your Eyes / Touch Of Madness / (You Can Still) Rock In America / Sister Christian *Note: The “★” mark indicates a song exclusive to this tour. … and so on. It’s a shame that “Call My Name” and “I Need A Woman”, which were on the official video version of “7 WISHES TOUR”, are not included, but “Faces”, which was only performed on this tour, is a delicious song. The heat unique to live performances is added to the super-rich set, and the sense of unity that runs through the entire show is perfect. This is a definitive album that makes even the “GREATEST HITS” that was also called the “ideal best album” unnecessary. The best soundboard album from the live album “7 WISHES” era, which packed the climax of the greatness into one stage, has been released. This is the best album created from an unused master recording on the classic FM broadcast. You can enjoy the live performance in its prime with a completely official sound.
