I found this interview that was done in 2018! It was with VICKY HAMILTON from Los Angeles who worked in booking and promoting many "Glam Bands" In the 80s. She be-friended and worked closely with Guns and Roses, Poison, Motley Crue and Stryper to name but a few.  This was back on MAX INK RADIO for BS LIVE ROCKS RADIO. 

I am writing a book in 2024 about interviews I have done over the years and came across this fun story.  Vicky worked for David Geffen when the label was amongst the biggest in Hollywood. 

She has a great book that came out 2016

FULL INTERVIEW with Dave is up on all streaming platforms INDUSTRY 45 PODCAST SHOW 

Legendary rockers, Night Ranger are releasing a brand-new live album titled, 40 Years and a Night with Contemporary Youth Orchestra, that is due out October 20, 2023. The live album and live performance footage will be available on CD, Vinyl (including limited editions), DVD, Blu-ray, and digitally across all streaming platforms worldwide. 

This release comes as they approach the date it was recorded, just one year ago in Cleveland on November 9th 2022. The first single and live music video from the album, “(You Can Still) Rock In America (Live),” is out today.  Watch “(You Can Still) Rock In America – Official Live Video” HERE. Pre-Save & Pre-Order 40 Years and a Night with Contemporary Youth Orchestra HERE. 

When asked about this live album and performing with an orchestra, the band had this to say: “It was a dream come true to have Night Ranger music accompanied by an entire symphonic band… including our own! Although now, we’re spoiled, and we want to carry the orchestra with us everywhere we go!!” - Jack Blades 

“Playing the show with the Cleveland CYO and being able to record It was an incredible and unique experience. To have younger musicians not only embrace but enjoy playing our music was a new high for us as a band. You could see all the hard work they put into rehearsals, and finally getting to perform it live was an incredible new benchmark in our career.” – Kelly Keagy

 “I can check this one off my bucket list. Having the CYO backing us for this show was just amazing and it really took Night Ranger to another level. Looking forward to its release and sharing with the world!” – Brad Gillis 

This one-of-a-kind one night only Night Ranger performance with Cleveland’s own Contemporary Youth Orchestra was at the Key Bank State Theatre in Cleveland, OH on November 9, 2022. The Contemporary Youth Orchestra (CYO) is made up of 80+ musicians aged 12 to 18, representing more than 40 schools in Ohio. It fosters students’ technical ability and creative growth in both an inspiring and supportive community. The students performed alongside Night Ranger throughout their entire set and these unique renditions of their greatest hits was also their first time ever performing with a symphonic orchestra live. All of this is what made this a truly once in a lifetime Night Ranger concert event.

We talk about the bands beginnings in the early 90s, the importance of great physical and mental health, the first record and playing at Much Music and of course the NEW album Bombs and Battlescars and the recording of the great Triumph tune SPELLBOUND---and we talk about drummers!!
