I’ve tried several times to get into VDGG , but I personally that they’ve slightly over-stepped the mark

between being heavily influenced by Zep to the point where it’s almost

borderline ripping them off.

Perhaps I’m being too harsh and should give them another try (?)

 

Dawn Patrol from Night Ranger on the other hand still excites me

today whenever I play it , almost as much as when I first heard it for

the first time a few years after its initial

release in the mid 80’s :-)

uh, you sure you have the right band? Van Der Graaf Generator and Led Zeppelin sound nothing alike.

Oops , sorry you’re absolutely correct ... I completely misread the topic !

I’ve been up for 15 hours and my concentration

levels must be dipping ... time for bed soon I guess LOL !

I’ll make amends by giving this VDGG album

( Not GVF LOL ! ) a proper listen tomorrow :-)

Are you kidding me? This is an incredible poll!

 

You might know that I absolutely LOVE NIGHT RANGER!! Hell I know Brad Gillis! This band RULES! I dig Van too but for me it's NIGHT RANGER!

 

They are playing here at the Fairgrounds on Saturday Nite but I can't make it!

 

The last time I saw Night Ranger was fuckking off the charts!!

 

I saw them in San Francisco at The Fillmore. They played "Dawn Patrol" and "Midnight Madness" in it's entirety!! I have a poster too! Epic Night!!

 

"Dawn Patrol" is one of the greatest rock records ever made.

 

"Don't Tell Me You Love Me" RULES! Never gets old!!

Sweet!!! NIGHT RANGER WITH THE LEAD!

 

They were signed to MCA because they won the Battle Of The Bands Contest in the Bay Area. They were originally just called "Ranger" but another band with the same name threatened to sue them so they added "Night" to the name.

 

By the way, the self titled track "Night Ranger" kicks major ass! Another incredible tune. "Dawn Patrol" is a masterpiece.

I saw that gig. They were fantastic that night.

 

From Dawn Patrol up to and including Man in Motion NR never put a foot wrong.

 

A major part of the soundtrack to my youth.

Hey my Brother! You and me both! I remember buying the "Dawn Patrol" cassette when it came out. I was instantly blown away and in love with the band!!

 

We are lucky we both saw that gig! EPIC!
