Blue Oyster Cult I Love The Night Live '03 Long Version

[stratwz]

Heed the Imaginos.

[styxn8]

Can someone write me the lyrics from 3:36-3:44?

[MrHomosapien28]

@styxn8

All of the lyrics trimmed (for time) from the studio version:

Out in the air, cool and clear it's free/it's the only way to be

Once hidden wonders now were there to see/they were pointed out to me

Now I never rise until the sun falls And my vision knows no walls

And I'm looking for ladies walking alone

They regret the day when they hear me say

(per Albert Bouchard)

[styxn8]

@MrHomosapien28

wah thanks mate!

[carrienurse]

Nothing matches the studio version from "Spectres", but this is a great "late" BOC version.

[Kurvenkrieger]

Awesome! Tanks for posting!

[MatthewMartin23]

Amazing song. Buck Dharma's tracks are all so good. Surreal, otherworldly, nice!

[moonlyterose]

OMG I love this song and this video is the ultimate treat!!!

[Hopspop]

who would dislike this? I mean after seeking it out and watching it...WTF is there to not LOVE?

[jonahbegone]

I have always thought Eric Bloom an underrated vocalist. I like the way he adds a short vibrato to the ends of phrases - very stylish.

[RoeserFan2]

@jonahbegone I agree Bloom is a very good vocalist, but this is Buck!

[JasonHi]

@jonahbegone Agreed. Bloom's vocals never get the respect their due and he has genuine stage charisma.

[cacaw88]

@JasonHi buck is singing here man not eric

[JasonHi]

@cacaw88 Thanks, I know that though. I wasn't talking about the song. I was talking about Bloom, but not in reference to this song.

[midnightmare16]

I love the BÖC :D

[hurryfae]

96 people HAVE incredible taste ! 2 people are missing the color " BLUE " from their color spectrum and the word " SPECTRES " from their vocabulary !!

[ContraCommando]

My fave BOC song. Takes the stress away when I'm stressed and gets me in a relaxed mood. Hear it when your high and it's even better!

[astroal]

thanks for posting!!!!

[garfield2279]

Now THATS what you call music.

[FluffyRadical]

I love this song and this BAND, for decades... I didn't know there was a long version (duh). Where are the lyrics? BOC lyrics, Buck's guitar, their harmonies, mood, meaning = indescribable beauty.

[KathyReedTheOriginal]

My favorite friggin song of all time and space. This is so cool-extra verse and all!

[LesSmith45]

One of my favorite BOC songs. Great Band

[desdanova3]

Just amazing !!! A band that sounds better Live than in Studio ? Just BOC.

[hellview96x]

these guys are a level above the rest !

and gosh darn that lead guitar tone is legendary.

[JNblok61]

Man, this is the real music n great fucking preformance! I think i would cry if i was there, great, MASTERPEACE!!

[trevizons]

I love this song, and to me, Buck will always be one of the best guitarists in the world, and Eric is so amazing at his age he looks even younger every year and with such energy, long live BOC ! This was a great tour with Allen, Bobby and Danny ...

[Gasass1962]

My favorite b.o.c song.Buck is the shit dude!! Talk about getting no respect.Why aren't these guys in the rock hall?

[eddielang2]

@Gasass1962 because the rock hall is the hall of shame. Even though I live near it, I won't go there. Not until the induct BOC and Ted Nugent.

[desdanova3]

@Gasass1962 Because they are so GOOD, that many can understand it. The critics and suit people won't get it. But we do. That's the best in our favour, doesn't?

[sanclementekid]

A friend of mine's high school english teacher was Eric Bloom's sister. I watched Eric and him talk about after a show. Pretty interesting.

[bstensland]

ALRIGHT!!! Who the heck has been using my guitar for driving range practice??

[bstensland]

a large portion of their "hits" are co-written, or written lyrically by Sandy Pearlman. Great writer too, glad they work together.

[ruphia]

The drums sound.. kind of off. :|

I like this, though. The songs that Buck sings are always so lovely.

[floridafreedom100]

@ruphia

Can't really say about the drums, maybe the issue is the bass?? But the lead guitars and vocals are breathtaking.

[floridafreedom100]

@ruphia

Ok I listened again and you're right, the drums are messed up ??

[granbyone]

I think Buck did a lil wandering on this one.

[mgt63us]

Excellent performance

[KathyReedTheOriginal]

This is the best goddamn song EVER!

[wwildwilli]

harvest moon is a sweet song drizzle!

[buhbuhray13]

I think this is one of the best boc songs . mood evoking, meloncholy yet cereberal thought provoking melodic yet rocking tune !

always a fan... seen em 4 times and they never played this song so this is a special treat for me.

thanks for this vid

[swelsher]

sweet. buck still rocks like no other. but why does EVERY drummer these days have that ridiculously low-tuned kick drum? inappropriate fur boc's sound.

[bombie1138]

Video as entered my "Hidden YouTube Treasure's" playlist,.... Don't tell anyone!!

[Reximusbob]

Good comments, good tones, good times and a great band is B.O.C.!

[Drizzlerman]

Such a hypnotic beautifully morbid song, probably the best Buck Dharma did other than DFTR

[richiec54]

Burnin' For You

[Drizzlerman]

'Harvest Moon' and 'Here Comes That Feeling' are some of other songs from Buck of recent times that is just as good or better than classic stuff. Hypnotic beautifully morbid tunes they are too.

[desdanova3]

Just high poetry, and incredible guitar playing, choruses, and melodic voice. BOC rocks ! The same comment=the band is timeless.

[roadrocket7]

Thanks for this clip. Blue Oyster Cult are an American Treasure. Totally original and groundbreaking in every aspect of their music. Way ahead of the pack. Buck is simply the Greatest. NOBODY comes close to his virtuosity and melodic playing.

This band is timeless.

[richiec54]

Buck ain't the best, he's awesome though. Let's not take it too far.

[redc1c4]

can we at least agree that he's the best Buck Dharma out there?

[ksmit]

Bucks tone here is juicy....dig it!!!

[pigletized]

One of the most interesting bands of all time. Under rated and overshadowed by larger flashier acts.

[BalladOfThinMan]

One of the most interestsing and intelligent as well. Not many metal bands have talented songwriters (especially most 80's metal).

[pigletized]

You got it.

[richardmbowman]

@pigletized and @ stevediorio. Of course it gives you chills. Me too. It was meant to. And this version is real tasty. Like it a lot. Yeah, this IS one the most interesting bands. Musically. Lyrically. Even the name of the group.

[69ofdoom]

@pigletized I strongly disagree, Blue Oyster Cult was insanely influential to the development of Rock music in the 70s. They used to be one of the biggest bands in the world, right up there with Led Zeppelin.

[stevediorio]

This song gives me chills

[myway43]

I love cruising around on summer nights with the windows down listening to this song, just like I did back when it first came out.

[bcc335]

Agreed! Buck is excellent on this version. Definitely one of the most beautiful songs to come out of BOC. The only thing missing here is the incredible harmonies on "I Love the Night" that really put the emotional bite in this all to underrated gem.

[cuttlefisch]

A superb version of an all-time classic BOC track. Thanks for posting this!!

[klasensjo]

I wish Buck Dharma's moustache was back.

[Hanakoa12]

wow... I was wrong... the moustache isnt the source of his power. all hail buck dharma.

[ShadowlnTheRain]

Is that Rondinelli on drums? Man I wish Albert Bouchard was back. Bobby doesn't do any fills at all. He's so monotone. Anyway, great job on Buck's part; I just wish the drumming had some more life.

[redD4Dworld]

The Bouchard brothers should come back.

[bongobingoaz]

Those new members need to learn how to sing back up if they ever want to be real members of the cult. I really miss Joe and Albert Bouchard. But since they've gone on to do other things...well, not much the rest can do but get replacements and go on. I love these guys. Thanks for posting, this is one of my favs!

[ShadowlnTheRain]

bongobin, I agree but Albert basicaly had it coming whne he was kicked out way back in 1981. I met his brother Joe about 10 years ago here in NJ and spoke a bit about that. I miss Albert as he was a MAJOR contributor to the band; and one of the best co-writers in the band.

[fvkivn]

what's missing is the marvelous drum beat of the original on outro solo

[deepsussex]

Is there a studio extended version?

[Brizzlerman]

No. But the demo version that Buck recorded can be heard on vol. 2 of his home recording compilations which I believe may be for sale through his website.

[deepsussex]

Awesome - I never knew they did this live

[HemiVic]

Just an incredible love ballad! One of the most under rated songs of all time!

[vengeance76]

Sounds even better than the original record!

[iChefany]

Ahh, I freakin fell in love with this the first time I heard it in 77/78. First time I've heard it live. Thank you HarlJHogg.

It's always puzzled me as to why this song never became a hit. It's right up there with 'Reaper'.

[elevatorsfan]

Man this is one of my fav BOC songs!

[okiwoskoni]

I'll ask again; does anybody know the lyrics for the extended version? I mean those not in the original. Thanx

[azmarkus]

The extra verse is:

"Now I never rise until the sun falls,

and my vision knows no walls.

I'm looking for ladies walking alone.

They forget the day, when they hear me say

I Love The Night."

[okiwoskoni]

Hey, thanks for your reply...Now it makes sense about the vampire aspect... before it just sounded like a romantic ghost story. Thanks again.

[CKY66]

Wow they sound pretty good live!

[thornbuh]

This is one of my favorite songs to play on guitar while listening to this song. A Cult classic in my opinion....

[spigelwii]

4th and B street must be a great place to see them, I have a lot of bootlegs from there, always great setlists.

[Zephead23]

Live is so much better!! lol

[richard07h]

Thank you

This is as good as it gets

[theledzeppguy]

Buck's songs are the best! Don't Fear The Reaper, Burnin' For You, I Love The Night, Deadline, Harvest Moon, Then Came The Last Days Of May...etc.

[LightfootRulz]

This song haunts me!

[southparkken]

i thougth it sucked,to much over tone,it just suked

[CKY66]

Well you can go watch other stuff then faggot

[snowplowerking]

dipshit this was recorded n a fucking camera not a console buck is a master of tne retard just shows how stupid people are that think they know something but really dont know shit about anything you suck dumb ass !

[Mischa77]

I fkin Love this song

[desertdoggz]

I love the night is surely the best slow rock song of all time. I never get tired of hearing it and and the beautiful guitar work and vocals/lyrics are some of the tastiest music that you"ll ever hear!

[lewboc]

thanks harljhogg-I was at this show at 4th and b. It really brings back some boc memories. boc is my fav band and will always be.

[pupigoal1]

Fantastic version. Thanks Buck for the long solo a the end!

[hobobox0]

Love the Swiss cheese guitar you have there.

[evanwilcox82]

yeah Buck's cheeseberger is awesome!

[segusband]

I wouldn't complain about jams!

[jlabrogers]

What a sweet sounding guitar. Buck made it ooze with pure extacy from the(his)heart. Like Nobody Else.

[ASR10MAN]

I remember living in Houston buying BOC albums from Rat Records a long... long... time ago.

In a City far,far away

[trezpazz]

tff Darly......i was thinkin same thing...he used to ahve long hair ffs....great g tar player though..fuckin 'A' just wish these old rockers kept their hair ffs....get a rug i dont give a shit lol....BlindLemonTrez

[okiwoskoni]

So, does anybody know the lyrics from the extended version? Do they differ from the original?

[faterikcartman]

Six shows live in two states for me and I've never seen this song played. What kills me is I missed this show and 4th and B is in my freaking home town.

A friend who goes to a lot of BOC shows with me complains we can never hear many of their songs live because they are addicted to turning EVERY song performed live into a ten to twenty minute "jam" so at the end of the show you've only heard ten songs or less. Kinda true.

Anyway, great song and my wife's favourite BOC tune.

Vampires.

[StairillDaryl]

When did Neil Sedaka start playing guitar for BOC?

[HarlJHogg]

That was mean! but funny.

[LesSmith45]

@HarlJHogg That is funnier than shit! I have seen this band five times. Got to meet them about 3 yrs ago at the local casino for a backstage meet and great. Foghat also was there. Those guys were real cool. These guys were distant and just up and left right after we shook their hands and got autographs. Foghat dudes just sat and BS us.

[theRealDonX]

@StairillDaryl

Ever since Richard Geere started playing bass for Pink floyd.

[pwshields]

The "b" sides rule live anybody got " The Vigil" Seen 'em 16 times. Seen "Nosferatu" live, "Divine Wind", "Vengeance (The Pact)" live. But never this.

[krazyeddy1962]

one of bucks best songs- rare to see this one live, go boc,,,krazyeddy!

[krazyeddy1962]

I have seen boc many times-this one never live. one of bucks best songs, GOT BLUE OYSTER CULT?????????? KRAZYEDDY!

[thebigbq]

I've seen them 25 times since 1981, Buck is a Guitar God!

seeing them again a few times in OR this summer!

[hetfield2x4]

holy crap I was at this show! One of the best concerts I've seen in my life thus far!

[s0undch4s3r]

Awesome Tune!! Reminds when I used to go 4 wheeling in my truck with all my buds out in the gravel pits. Stop the truck at dusk, start a small camp fire, play some B.O.C., while drinkin beers and watching the sun set over the Horizon.

Get a nice cool buzz while the wind runs through your hair. Man what great times those were.

Thanks for posting. 5 Star of course.

[granbyone]

Sure would like to see this live. After about 15 shows I finally saw what was left of BOC(Buck&Eric)do Shooting Shark just last year.

[bizzutch6]

"the day is okay, and the sun can be fun, but I live to see those rays slip away"

Hearing this song takes me back.

[HemiVic]

Such a fantastic love ballad! This is Blue Oyster Cults best tune! I listen to this song with tears in my eyes!

[karlwarrior123]

In the last few years..they have played it more and more..twice in San Francisco at Slims night club...how did radio ignore this song? It is pure musical magic. I was hoping the newly released Spetres would have the extended version....

[DesEternalight]

Already been said, but i've seen 'em over 30 times and never seen this song live. Buck's guitar with the golf ball divots looks cool! Rock on BOC!

[bombie1138]

the guitar in this song cuts through me,...great stuff,...so beautiful,...Thx BOC,...Rock and Roll will never die !!

[bassmanjoe]

I agree

[andycumbria]

right - first time in Milwaukee in 2003. Just about 5000 miles and 350 day out. Still cool though......

[andycumbria]

BOC playthis song oftern in England - Ive hard it and FT about 3 or 4 times in UK - first time in Leeds 2002. What a vastly underrated band.

[Desdinova1428]

I wish that I could hear this and "Flaming Telepaths" live.....four time so far and no luck.

[rnargi]

Over thirty shows seen since 1978, and I've never heard them do this song live ONCE!!

And it's in the top 10 faves of mine, too!

[beefoneeto]

Happy now-buckyd. :)

[rnargi]

A little! I'm going in Jan down here in D.C. Hopefully I'll finally see it live

[thefewerthebetter]

Nice!

[lewboc]

I was at this show. does not seem like 4 years has passed by. buck was on fire as usual.

[Sylak]

Entrancing.

[Brizzlerman]

Saw this song played live in '06, probably the high point of the show for me seeing as I had never heard the entire song before it was very memorable and is a comforting song. I think it may be Buck Dharma at his best.

[Brizzlerman]

This song and Harvest Moon are great examples of how much of a musical/lyrical genius Donald "Buck Dharma" Roeser really is. His contributions to Blue Oyster Cult are amazing but his contributions to rock music in general are even more amazing and it's too bad he isn't as widely recognized as other rock musicians. In my mind he was the one behind most of B.O.C.'s masterpieces. He is such an expressive and impressive guitarist and vocalist.

[hotwheeljohnny55]

you're lucky. this song is one of the "unsung" BOC classics.

this live version is nice, although i prefer the studio version which in my mind is a 80's masterpiece. as good as any rock ballad ever. would love to find a studio extended version!

[Brizzlerman]

Buck's home demo is close to studio quality on the remastered collection album and there are minor differences in the style of the playing and drumming of the version that was on Spectres.
