- This time around, we pull the dates back and forth (chronologically speaking) to set the band's opening set for Ratt before the premiere of their Fahrenheit headliner show which will come tomorrow ;)
This came from a set of shows that were filmed from the mixing desk as the band was opening for Ratt on their tour. Rumours had it the band was making such an impact as the tour went on that their opening time slot was cut shorter by the headliner though that's never been verified.
It's classic 80's footage especially with regards to the quality, but I restored as much as possible in VirtualDub and remastered the audio for a better sound balance.
Setlist:
01. Tokyo Road [0:00]
02. Breakout [6:33]
03. Jon greeting audience [12:39]
04. Only Lonely [13:22]
05. Guitar Solo [19:51]
06. Drum Solo [22:41]
07. In And Out Of Love [23:22]
08. Runaway [32:40]
Encore:
09. I Don't Wanna Go Home [39:13]
10. Get Ready [41:45]

I never saw them in the 80's unfortunately, but I can see why RATT (and other acts) hated them and would cut their monitors, or give them less and less stage space, they were such a great live band, even for being so green, they would blow everyone away!! And who's still around now?? Huh?? Yeah!!
Saw them in Rochester NY on this tour. I was a Ratt fan and my girlfriend loved Bon Jovi. They had a longer set that included "She dont know me" and "Silent Night". A great night for 2 16 yr olds. She had the "cool" parents that let me sleep over. Fond memories of that night.
Totally remember this. I was 17 years old and saw them in Madison, Wisconsin on this tour. My friends that went with said Bon Jovi blew Ratt off the stage. We saw greatness that night. Richie was tearing it up on guitar and his harmonies with Jon running all over and bringing so much energy. It was the beginning of greatness.
Saw the same tour, and yes Bon Jovi blew them away. I went to see DiMartini, because he was the new hotshot guitarist at the time, but he was nothing to write home about. However Sambora was very impressive, I was blown away by his playing. I knew about Bon Jovi, but didn't go to see them, but I went away VERY impressed with them.
Saw same tour, Dayton, OH, Hara Arena. Bon Jovi put on a hell of a show. Ratt were flat and Pearcy was off key and unintelligible. I remember Bon Jovi the most. They were hungry and it showed.
This is why their opening acts always hated them lol, They always blew away the main act!! Bon Jovi has always been a great live band.
I was at this show!
Ratt n Roll.
Had a chance to see this tour at Richfield Coliseum in ohio..had tickets...no one would trade me work days..so gave tickets to my bestie and her boyfriend. She said it was amazing and bon jovi put ratt to shame🎉❤
haha I saw this tour when I was 18. I remember being front row. Thinking who are these guys in pink and purple. I also remember, they are pretty cool, and the chicks are loving this. I really remember Richie Sambora doing the harmonics section in his guitar solo and thinking WOW, that sounds cool.
All I can remember from the Ratt set was the played alot of lame songs, sounded just OK and I walked out kind of disappointed in them. Bon Jovi is sound much tighter and better.
Saw them at the La Crosse Center in Wisconsin in the fall of '85. Good times
Was there too! August of 85
why on earth would a support act put a drum and guitar solo in their 7 song set - shouldve played Hardest Part of the Night instead.
They fucked up..Richie was a massive coke freak and insisted on a guitar solo..he was peaking off his head
I think that has to do to take care of Jon voice one less song to sing and keep on going the next night with another show.
Edited folks
Why cant I find good Ratt live videos; I was at Bon Jovi/Ratt in SA 1985, Bon Jovi so much better live
December 21 1985 El Paso, TX at the County Coliseum I was 14 years old and a 8th grader in jr high, went with my cousin Cesar RIP it was our 1st rock concert life was good.
Saw them the night before Dec.20th 1985 in Amarillo TX.
i don't know why i laughed at 7:55
I did hear that on this tour that Ratt stood out in the seats during rehersals and smirked and laughed at Bon Jovi. I liked Ratt back in the day early but Bon Jovi blew them away. Wonder who is laughing now. Great video btw.
Bullshit Bon jovi songs are nothing but hot air. RATT has much better songs
All except Robin Crosby who has said he spent more time in Bon Jovi’s dressing room then his own.
@@tis4657that's cause he was shooting coke with Richie
Exactly, now it's like RATT who? Haha.
Jon Bon Jovi, the legend, the king!
Thank you for postin this! Always had a soft spot for this particular album. This was my introduction to Bon Jovi, right before Slippery. Thanks again man
Best Rock-Band ever mega Show ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥i love it❤
Saw this tour in providence ri
Do you know the exact year of this performance?
November 30th, 1985
@@hAnD90 - cool, thanks.
@@hAnD90 Just a few months before the Slippery When Wet rocket ship hurtled these guys into the stratosphere!!!
Not their best night.
Richie is the real talent in that band. The band should of been called sambora🎸
Great, thanks!!!
I did see this tour at the Welsh Auditorium in Grand Rapids MI. July of 85! Mama's boys/BonJovi/Ratt. I was shocked how Different Ratt sounded live compared to the album but love ratt anyways!
Gotta give it up to my church camp friend Brian P. He invited me to Austin TX circa 1984-1985 to see Bon Jovi open up for Ratt! Yes, We came to see Ratt, but were blown away by Bon Jovi. Long live the Austin Drum! I saw them at NOLA Jazzfest @ 2015 and they still had it! Long live, church camp friends, Austin, and NOLA Jazzfest! - LEG
Great Upload.Thank you! You didnt happen to record the Ratt show here?
❤
Wished i could've seen this show.
estos si son bon jovi lo de despues no
AFter the next two records was when Bon Jovi became flamboyantly gay. Seen this in San Diego on New Years Eve and Ratt destroyed Bon Jovi. Richie cant hold a note compared to Warren DeMartini.
Richie was the king of coke..he could snort all of them under the table..Robin loved his herion
Lmao!! And where’s Ratt today?
Before Desmond Child joined the team, it just kinda didn't work
7800 was a great album..just not commercially slicked like Slippery
Ratt was heavy metal band compare to bon jovi just pop rock metal band,why need to compare warren with richie..warren was king of guitar ,richie just knowing that same solo riff ..boring
