Oh God.... Here I am, 62 years old, and retired. As I'm watching this video from a lifetime ago, I remember how young and hopeful I was. Those of OUR GENERATION had it so good. We didn't have to worry about war, mass shootings, cruising the main drag with our friends on Friday and SATURDAY nights.... Going to the Roller Rink, or hanging out at the burger stand. We had B.T.O., The Bay City Rollers, Peter Frampton, Fleetwood Mac, Linda Ronstadt.... The list goes on and on... 8 track stereos were slowly giving way to cassette players... Disco was just starting... Wearing my Puka Shell necklace and of course my mood ring.... Those days are, unfortunately a distant memory... I have to wear reading glasses now... But, when I hear these wonderful songs, for a few brief minutes I can go back in time. I can see my High School buddies... We're laughing and joking, and life is good for a few brief moments....
Remember the past. I'm almost 70 & can't believe the world we live in. Not Sure what direction this country is going but it scares me. I don't think I'm living in the past but I'm also not forgetting it either. I love this old sh_t. Reminds me of a better time.
I’m 69- I finally realized my mortality- I was a good athlete in high school and college- Those days are long gone- All that matters to me now is my relationship with Jesus and eternal matters- God bless you all!!
I'm 63 and I remember dancing in the living room of the family I was babysitting for. The kids were asleep and nobody was watching me make a fool of myself.
This music was my era,,,,,,,iam now 68 yrs. Old and all of my friends asking my secrets ,,,,,,how come I look so young at my age,,,,iam gifted but deep in my heart iam old,,,,,,,iam now devoting to God…..
I remember them very well! I can't believe it, I am 61 and I still like them still like I did then. They were and still remain a very cool, upbeat band!!❤
I love BCR forever .......you got a special place in our hearts.....Saturday nigth make you feel so alive... This band deserve a Biopic Movie . 💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋
..when I was teaching history at Don Bosco Tech in 1976 - the English teacher, Jimmy McCall, came into the teacher's lounge laughing...one of his students asked him ..."Mr McCall - were the Beatles as good as the Bay City Rollers???" Here it is almost 50 years later and I still smile!!!!
Another legendary band the Bay City Rollers. Always listened to them still do in 2023. Legends in their own rights. The whole package there will never be another band like them ever.
@AnitaVickers-ey2nw I so agree with you, loved them at 15, now I am 64, not a day goes by that play their songs. Don't Let the Music DIe will be played when I leave this world. KOR
Besides being played every hour on the radio, I remember this song being played all the time at the roller skating rink. Great - and much simpler - times.
Loved the Bay City Rollers!! And this song still gets you on your feet after all this time. Rest in Peace, Les. Thank you for so many happy memories!!! 🙏💞☮
Hmm, sicherlich einen andere Spaß, ABER, nicht unseren Spaß, mit Freunden, ohne Internet, ohne Handy, alles echte Freunde, alles echt zum anfassen...Gott sei Dank durfte ich es erleben und war dabei! Hat Jemand ne Zeitmaschine? ...noch nen Platz frei?
I'm so thankful to have been growing up then. My son says he wishes he grew up back then. It was such a great decade, and we did it without electronics!!
Met the group in person what a lovely group to talk to and each of them so polite with me such happy memories of them GOD BLESS THE MEMBERS that are no longer with us
OMG is right!! I joined you in your memories of the 70's!! All of the great bands,life was simple alright,no tech apart from home phones,you could go missing for a few hours or days.....now you can be found, almost anywhere! B.C.R., you gave the world so much joy, thank you from a lifetime fan!! 😊❤❤❤❤
I loved these guys so much, I had my mom sew plaid around the bottom cuffs of some of my jeans. Ian Mitchell was my favorite, I was hopelessly in love with him! God rest him 🙏🏼
I was a huge fan during this period. God, look at them. All so cute. I loved that little Irish boy Ian like crazy. What a great time to be a little kid.
I was born in the early 60’s and grew up with this kind of music and I would NEVER trade my 70’s for NOTHING...it was a wonderful time to live and ROCK & ROLL! 👍🏼👍🏼❤️
Ditto, people had a life outside their jobs, seemed to enjoy living and friends and weren't always obsessed about making tons of money and buying huge mansions. Thank the '80s for that mess.
The "Bay City Rollers" this band brings such happy youthful memories of being around the New Jersey Shore in the summertime circa around 1970s-1980s of my lost youthful nostalgia!!! wow, it has been way too many years gone by, I must be getting really old!!! LOL!!!
😂😂 had a sleepover and us girls played this over and over for hours ( on a record player) while making up a dance routine to go with it😂😂Soooooo long ago but so much fun💜
I remember staying up late to watch this show. Brings back so many memories. When this song plays on the radio at work, I can be seen dancing in the aisle.

I’m 69-

Those days are long gone-

Hey Marine. Army 1SG here. Listen to the same music. Just with a beer and smilin and rememberin. We aint old. Just a bit wiser bud.
The 70’s were the best! This is one of the perfect pop songs of all time and to me it never gets old! ❤️
I’m 64 years old. Of all a sudden, this masterpiece popped up on my screen. I was so in love with the singer in the 70’s.
Im 64,and i feel like a nerd saying this but this song still sounds great 🎉
Made my own costume for Halloween w short 3/4 overhauls and had the dorky cap. Don't judge I was about 11 lol
I'm 63 and I remember dancing in the living room of the family I was babysitting for. The kids were asleep and nobody was watching me make a fool of myself.
User-yg1mhsz8n,your not a need,does sound great all these years later.😊
I'm 61. Loved this song in highschool. Still do. 😊
Sehe ich auch so bin 60.❤😂
That is the most lively Midnight Special audience in the entire history of the show. Actually, they are the only audience that ever moved.
What year was this? Thanks
I WAS There!! At most Midnight Specials!! Always awesome 👌 shows, not of just the Rollers either! :7)
Tom make up for the fact this is pre recorded track they are lip.syncing
Black Sabbath ‘75 is a pretty live bunch too.
@@exactsame Since Ian Mitchell was only in the band during one single year, my money’s on 1976.
This was the #1 best selling single of 1973, 3.5 million copies sold.
60 years young. Back in Middle school, me & my friend Inola, dressed like these guys! Such sweet memories! P.s. loved Eric!❤
And me, i was Les Mckeown, mad 💕💕

Fun music from the 70’s. Great times with great memories of these songs. Thanks for the throwback!! Wish it was still like that today!!
子供の頃、聴いた記憶があります。兄の影響で、聴く様になりました。清涼感がある歌声で、心地よいです。何回、聴いても飽きないです。若い人で、この曲を聴いている人いるのかな？
I am 73 now and I loved the BayCity Rollers then. Especially Bye bye Baby. Still do. 😊
My Dad loved this song....he passed 10 years ago
アラン、イアン、レスリー、あなた達の歌声は今もベイシティローラーズとなって世界中のみんなに届いているんだよ。
I’m 78 years old and still like this song.
私の青春だった。BCRの為にバイト三昧だった高校生生活、お金でロックショーって雑誌買って切り抜きしてバッチ作ってコンサート行って今では死語だけどペンパルさんも20人ぐらいいたな…いい思い出です☺️
レスリーもイアンもアランも安らかにおねむりください。忘れないよ。
私も 缶バッチ沢山作り衣装も作り コンサートがないとき フィルムコンサートに 紙テープ投げて 応援してきました❗ アラン イアン レスリーが 亡くなり悲しいけど これからも ＢＣＲを応援しよう😄
そうそう、フィルムコンサート行った💖行った💖
土曜日でね、昼からだったんだけど学校早めに抜け出して友達と3人で行ったんだ😉月曜日に先生に呼び出されちょっと怒られたよ😅それも本当に今となっては良い思い出だよ(笑)青春だったな😆楽しかった😆
@@user-vg6he9gz7m
素敵な思い出ですね！！
同じです❗ロックショーの雑誌を買うのに必死だった😅 レスリー 大好きだよ❤️
@@satocantik5177 因みにまだロックショウ何冊か持ってるよ(笑)
Man that show was so much fun to watch growing up the music is so damn good and blows everything away in todays generation
I miss the 60s and 70s . A glorious time to be young.
Jaa, das stimmt, nun, wir durften sie erleben!
Some of the 70s I wouldn't mind getting back and seeing a great guy again
Uhh, nen tollen Kerl wollte ich nicht sehen, aber da gäbe es ein paar tolle Girls... kennst Du den Weg zurück?
Who won't want to go back to the 70's if they could...
I am still young at heart and I love the their music
Oh how I loved these boys. Now I am 60 years old and still in love
I love BCR forever .......you got a special place in our hearts.....Saturday nigth make you feel so alive... This band deserve a Biopic Movie . 💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋
Bay city rollers are the best I've been into them since I was 3 years old and now I'm 53 love them ❤❤❤
Even though we are old-ish now .............. aren't we glad we lived in the '70's 😂

lolo funny
RIP Les, the 70's were the best days
Agree. 70s the best.
you only use an apostrophe like that when you're saying something belongs to the '70s. you meant to write '70s
Les passed away???
@@aaa-xd3jj Sad, but true.
I'm here b/c my 19 yo son sang a snippet of this song. Was a huge fan back in the day. Tks for posting!
The BCR was so hot during the 70's, their songs were a "must played"at the dancing parties in high school.
Another legendary band the Bay City Rollers. Always listened to them still do in 2023. Legends in their own rights. The whole package there will never be another band like them ever.

Thanku yes let's keep bay city rollers alive forever.
@@rhondashinn4952 hi thanku for your reply yes the legendary BCR. Yes keep them alive forever.
@@rhondashinn4952 Eric's song
57 year old granny here. Man I dig this old song. I remember skating to this song. This song rocked.
The best boy band of all time.
Aye those were the days, I'm 65 now and today's music is crap.❤❤❤❤😂
Yep, back then they knew how to sing and play musical instruments.
Today they just talk into a mic to a computerized beat. No talent.
Indeed. But don't forget, we still have Mr Paul McCartney 😍
Truer words have never been spoken
We will never experience times like this again. Wonderful
Thanks for ruining my day. ._.
My first record was the bay city rollers when I was in my teens I'll be 60 soon and i still live them today🎉
Not one cell phone..lol. It's glorious!! I miss those days.
Besides being played every hour on the radio, I remember this song being played all the time at the roller skating rink. Great - and much simpler - times.
Newly turn 65 here. We had the best music through the early 80s.
我々の世代は、ビートルズよりベイシティローラーズ、と思う人は少なくないと思う。
Memories from my Senior Year...wish I was still there..better than today.
Ain't that the truth Mr Keith.
KC and the Bay City Rollers?! I’m in 70s heaven!!!
I remember singing this song with my older sisters under our car port. I'm 52 now and the song brings back happy memories. ❤❤
I’m 64 and still love them ❤
I love the bay city rollers les is my favorite I love the whole band I grew up with them as a kid and still love them now at age 55
Been Rolling’ for a long time … still Rolling” at 66 years old! Sending love ❤️ from Umatilla, FL USA!
I'm turning 60 on August 12 😊 all the best to you and your family 🎉 keep on Rollin' life is Gorgeous 😍🥰
That song ALWAYS played on Saturdays at the skating rink. God I’m old! Now my granddaughter thinks the skating rink is the coolest thing ever.
Loved the Bay City Rollers!! And this song still gets you on your feet after all this time.
Rest in Peace, Les. Thank you for so many happy memories!!!
🙏💞☮
73 and going strong!
Sadly, I get the impression that teenagers don't have as much fun as we did back in the 60's and 70's!
Hmm, sicherlich einen andere Spaß, ABER, nicht unseren Spaß, mit Freunden, ohne Internet, ohne Handy, alles echte Freunde, alles echt zum anfassen...Gott sei Dank durfte ich es erleben und war dabei! Hat Jemand ne Zeitmaschine? ...noch nen Platz frei?
They gave us happiness in 70s 80s.
You’re Right The 70s was a great time to be alive
So true.
The best decade of my life.
❤ 1970s music ,movies t,vshows going to the mall etc etc
I'm so thankful to have been growing up then. My son says he wishes he grew up back then. It was such a great decade, and we did it without electronics!!
@@cassmaguire1112 i ❤ 1970s music, going to malls &hangouts movies, tv shows, etc etc, ,
Still tearing it up today! 1976 was an awesome year!
I remember watching this on TV. BCR was also my first concert. Best years of my life❤
レスリーもイアンも
もういないんだね…
時は流れ時代が変わっても
ベィシティローラズの曲は永遠に❤️
The time goes by, the memorys are always and ever ❤❤❤❤
Still listening after all these years
One of my favorite groups when I was a kid. RIP Les.
Met the group in person what a lovely group to talk to and each of them so polite with me such happy memories of them GOD BLESS THE MEMBERS that are no longer with us
What can i say about the legendary Bay City Rollers. Legends in their own rights. No competition still ❤ u in 2023 and beyond. Love all their songs.
Legends in their own minds I would say.
@@PuckDropCardsyou obviously don't like the Bay City Rollers.
青春の一ページを飾ってくれた音楽でした。ありがとう。どうぞ安らかに。
I was 64 on Sept.16, 2023. BCR still have a place in my heart, I will love them always. Derek was/is my fave. Oh how I wish I could write him
Back in the day this song was such a hit! Loved it as a teen.
Now there is a song I can never get tired of
Fridaynight
Music drug of the 1970s
U poor thing
We will miss Les and the music from The Bay City Rollers. My obsession in the 70s and early 80s.
I LOVE THIS SONG!❤🎶👍I LOVE BAND BAY CITY ROLLERS.👏😍

I remember hearing this song in Atlanta Georgia many years ago on a Saturday Night.
I loved these guys so much, I had my mom sew plaid around the bottom cuffs of some of my jeans. Ian Mitchell was my favorite, I was hopelessly in love with him! God rest him 🙏🏼
SAME!!! PLAID CUFFS ON MY PANTS!!! HUGE CRUSH ON MITCH!!!
my friends & i did that too! Ha!
I was a huge fan during this period. God, look at them. All so cute. I loved that little Irish boy Ian like crazy. What a great time to be a little kid.
I was also madly in love with Ian

hey👋how are you doing today?
I just turned 64 . Still listening
Still love this in 2022 at 75 y/o!
Bless you!! I'm 58 and I have always got a kick out of them since I was 10
Barbie you are my granny and will always be
My 15 yr old turned around last week and said he wished he was around in 70's. So sad to see what kids of today are going through compared to then
Why am I instantly transported to the skating rink whenever I hear this song?
RIP Les 💔 RIP Allan 💔 RIP Ian
When I saw this on Midnight Special. It changed my World.♥
I first seen them on ABC-TV Saturday Night Live 1975.
The best decade!!! 70's!!!!!
中2でした。
深夜ラジオから流れてきたこの曲が気になってそこから一気に彼らのとりこになりました。
大阪のライブに運よく行けてしかも前から4列目という良席!! オープニングの「威風堂々」が流れてきたときは鳥肌が止まりませんでした。
私の青春！ ローラーズ、レスリーありがとう。天国で安らかに…
Les McKeown xxx I have loved you from the first time I saw you.
Rest easy beautiful man
懐かしい思い出です!
BAY CITY ROLLERS AND GREAT TIMES 70's!♥️♥️🎵🎵👏
Dancing to this at a high school dance. Held in an old dance hall. The wood floor shook as we danced. Great memories!
Great group 🎉 wonderful time 70's
Alan, Ian & Les ~ May you all Rest In Peace. Gone but NEVER forgotten.
And suddenly I'm transported back in time oh the memories 🎶🎶🎶😍😍😍
Woohoohoo! I loved this song and was a child.
77 and I still enjoy them😂😂😂😂
The legendary Bay City Rollers legends in their own rights the whole package. Best boy band ever. Love u ❤
The "Bay City Rollers" this band brings such happy youthful memories of being around the New Jersey Shore in the summertime circa around 1970s-1980s of my lost youthful nostalgia!!! wow, it has been way too many years gone by, I must be getting really old!!! LOL!!!
うわぁ…懐かし過ぎて涙が止まらん😭 イアンミッチェルが在籍してた頃だね。でも私はパッドマッグリンのファンだったw タータンチェックを身につけまくってました。小学生なりの追っかけでした。
Remember when Ian posed for 16 magazine w just a tartan scarf!!
思えば、良い時代だった。
あまり心配は無かった。
ベイシティローラーズは
大人気だった。
ラジオからこの曲が流れて来たとき感動した。46年前のことだよ。
懐かしいね。
多分、46年前じゃなく、其より未だ後だと思います😃
たぶん1975年ニッポン放送の番組 日立ミュージックインハイフォニックで聞いたのだと思います
SaturdayNightには初期メンバーのものとメンバー交代後の２つのバージョンがあるので最初に聞いたのは46年前で間違いないと思います
1977年以降はニッポン放送の受信が厳しいところに引っ越してしまったので雑音がひどくてラジオをあまり聞かなくなったので。
😂😂 had a sleepover and us girls played this over and over for hours ( on a record player) while making up a dance routine to go with it😂😂Soooooo long ago but so much fun💜
It's a great song.
Brings back a lot of great memories!
This is a great catchy song. Great to see that it hit no. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.
懐かしい‼️
すっごく好きでした💕
あの頃に戻りたいなぁ😃
武道館にも来日のつど行
ってました。青春です🌸
I remember staying up late to watch this show. Brings back so many memories. When this song plays on the radio at work, I can be seen dancing in the aisle.
