NR at their best!
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). This is, quite simply, a live album from a great group who were at the pinnacle of their career. 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. .


A Great Live Artifact From The Late 80s
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. 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. Overall, this is a worthy addition to your Night Ranger library.


Great Live Rock!
There are some great hard rockers on this CD like "Don't Tell Me You Love Me" and "Rock in America", but my favorite songs are the acoustic set in the middle of the album -- "Let Him Run", "Goodbye", and "Reason to Be". Anyone who has every seen Night Ranger in concert can testify that they are a great live band, and this CD shows it! Recorded in 1988, "Live in Japan" has highlights from Night Ranger's first 5 albums. These songs show the band members at their best, both vocally and instrumentally. Overall, this CD is a great sample of a Night Ranger concert, with great musicianship from beginning to end!.


A great live album with energy and emotion.
This recording packages an energetic sound when the band was at its peak. I am a fan of live albums and this is one of the best. 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.
