I knew this song was in a Beer Commercial, I just forgot which one. But NOW I remember Michelob was on that "Beer Of The Night" schtick. I think they used "Tonight, Tonight, Tonight" by Genesis in another ad.
Oh boy! This brought back memories from the 80's. Back when real music and inspiration was made. I miss those days so bad, everything was pure and new.
This is probably my favorite from Stevie Winwood, but has anyone else noticed that some of the people look like they are native Americans, like from Arizona, and some look they are from South America, like down in Argentina? I can't quite place where the scene might be taking place. It's just interesting -- I still totally love the video. Very expressive, and I love his voice. Love him!
Love it, love it love it. How come songs like this get little or no air time...? I used to play it on my show on community radio in south-east London in the late '80s. It seemed/is such a great song - catchy romantic and atmosperhic....
I just only wish that they had the Internet (as well as YouTube) back in 1988 (because I know I probably would have been watching this video on YouTube all the time back in 1988).
Reminds me of the great and good times of those Eighties nights Those were magical times. I actually heard this in 198, sitting at a restaurant in Six Flags Atroworld in Houston during a hot 4th of July. Boy, do I miss that place.
Funny, this song is about the night, yet, it appears to be shot during the day. What's the logic in that? Don't get me wrong, the tune's OK, it's just the entire video should have been shot at night.
Do you feel it? Were you there too? Evening in front of the TV, the latest episode of Miami Vice we've all been waiting all week for, the Michelob commercial hits....
@RacerXGTO It seems like it was better back then, when we had to wait for things. The suspense, and anticipation . . . everything was more exciting and enjoyed!
A song that reminds me of driving the brightly lit canyons of Midtown Manhattan on a warm muggy summer night and thinking about what the night can do.
i ABSOLUTLY LOVE THIS SONG, i ALSO FANCIED THE BACK SIDE OFF STEVE, BUT HE AS DEFINATLY AGED. BUT i STILL SWOON OVER THE OLD STUFF!!SORRY ABOUT THE CAPS, i FORGOT TO TAKE IT OFF, AND TOO DREAMY TO START AGAIN LOL
This song being released as a single came about kinda the same way Genesis's "Tonight, Tonight, Tonight" did. It's a really awesome tune. Steven Winwood is one of my all time faves.
I love this ballad!!!!....steve....your soul voice still amazes me like the very first time I listened to you.....I always dreamed of backing you up in this song....
what the night can do...november 2012 we the people go off to vote for president of the united states...and as we the people go to vote, i ask for you to consider william james isgar to write in vote for president...we the people the right for a write in vote...ballot age requirement is 35, but a write in vote, states no requirement, but you must write it in...2012 we the people for william james isgar
I love the 80's and 90's, but my god women were so f-ing hot in the 80's. They weren't full of tattoos, cellulite, and piercings. Maybe why I fly with the pink air force now?!?
@CheekyVic1280 I know, huh. Unfortunately, most people in their 60s do not age well. It's simply a matter of taking care of yourself (eating well, exercising, etc) that makes the difference. Steve Winwood looked amazingly well on David Letterman a few weeks ago. Looked very youthful.
@NightTracksClassic I saw him on David Letterman not that long ago. He looked excellent for his age (60+). He looked very youthful and vibrant. Paul McCartney has the same effect on me. Add John Fogerty to that list, too. All three look amazingly well for their age.
@MaimedAngel "The Night Belongs to Michelob!" I remember that very well because this song was used in those ads before the album was released, and I couldn't wait to hear the full version. The cassette single also had a very cool instrumental version on the B side. I should copy that to some digital form before the tape degrades since it probably won't be officially released again.
@MaimedAngel The song "Back in the High Life" was used for Miller Genuine Draft Beer commercial- for their "Miller High Life" brand beer- came out in 1987-88. I was in high school at that time and remember very vividly.
There was alot of classy sophisticated pop music made by and for adults back in the mid to late 80's. I am sure that demographics in the U.S. had something to do with this. The audience was there for this kind of music.
A good song by an outstanding artist and vocalist. Well produced. Though he did take some flak from critics for selling it to michelob for a beer commercial. But those commercials were nicely done
One of his best. Thanks Night Tracks. I remember hearing this in a restaurant in my favorite amusement park, Astroworld in Houston back in 1987. Brings back great memories.
For some reason I thought it was Coke...Michelob?? interesting (but clever I guess) song choice for beer, LOL..."feel the night music playing...don't you know what it's saying...we should feel it together, for FOREVERRR....feel the beat and just hold on, to the sweet midnight flowing...."
