The venue was packed with three levels of fans who were on their feet the whole time that Night Ranger was on stage. They even threw in a couple of Damn Yankees songs for good measure. Night Ranger has so many awesome songs… So many that they can’t even fit them all in one set! They did play some of my favorites, like… “Rumours In The Air”, “Four In The Morning”, “The Secret of My Success”, “Sing Me Away” and many more. They played with so much energy and passion that it was contagious. They had a blast on stage, cracking jokes, smiling, laughing, interacting with each other and the crowd. They nailed every note, every riff, every harmony.

He looked totally fine and was full of stage energy. They aren’t 25 anymore (but they act like they are) and Jack Blades had some health issues recently. They had these cool pin pointed rim lights behind them, and they started playing the intro of “(You Can Still) Rock In America” but JUST the accents! It was epic and a super powerful way to kick off the show! I’ve been a fan of Night Ranger for ages, and I’ve seen them live many times, but they never cease to amaze me. Then came the moment I was waiting for - Night Ranger took the stage in a dramatic fashion.
It was like watching a live concert DVD of them. I don’t want to bore you with too many details about Firefall‘s set, since it’s not really the ‘hair band’ genre, but let me tell you, they sounded flawless. Most people were cool with me because they realized that even if I got in their way, it would only be for about five seconds and then I’d be gone again.
That was not a problem for me, because I always try to be courteous and discreet, and snap my shots quickly and quietly. I was blown away by the crisp and clear sound and how dazzling the lights were!!! The only downside was that there was no photo pit, but they let me shoot from anywhere I wanted as long as I was respectful of the audience. I arrived and the band, Firefall, was already onstage. I had the most amazing experience shooting a band at this awesome, relatively new, local venue, Capital One Hall in Tysons Corner, Virginia.
