The greatest vampire song ever written.
Buck Dharma is one of the most underrated guitarists in rock history. Soooo smoooth
So true!
Man I love this band. This album is loaded!
Agree.
Like Death Valley Nights
Back in the late 90's there was a radio station in Seattle. (KZOK? KISW?) Every night around 1 am they played this song.
LOVE this song, love BOC.
We love those kinds of radio moments! Thanks Bugs vs Windshield!
BOC are the masters of haunting/creepy songs and guitar riffs. Check out She's as Beautiful as a Foot.
Yeah, that debut of their's was epic. So different, so unique. "Screams". As you said, "haunting/creeping". ANOTHER great one by Joe.
@mcbeezee2120 yeah Screams is one you rarely hear mentioned but it's spooky and incredible.
I was going to suggest that. Vengence (The Pact) another creepy tune by Joe. When the Bouchard Brothers were gone, the band went downhill.
I think that song gives away the fact that they're secretly foot fetishists. But, I can relate. 😜
@@Antares007You didn't need to post that. No seriously, why did you post that?
once again B.O.C. with their dark weird sense of humor .the guy gets dumped then get bit by a lady vampire lol. gotta love how they can be so heavy on one track then so melodic and beautiful on the next. saw them on this tour with the laser show .great stuff
Yes, they’ve got so many layers. We didn’t even realize the lyrics were that deep! Thanks so much Mark!
I don't see it necessarily as being about a lady vampire. I have always loved this song, but I see it as a kind of erotic fantasy about a mysterious dream woman. 🥰
As you've probably noticed, Buck, more times than not, sings the mellower pieces, while Eric sings the harder-edged stuff.....not including "Astronomy".😁
And of course the Bouchards can fill in everything else. Another great vampire piece of their's is "Nosferatu" off this same release. Sung by their bass player, Joe Bouchard, it's storyline follows Bram Stoker's Dracula novel closely. Great reaction!
Oh man, we actually do not notice. Thanks for that Mcbeezee!
Probably my favorite song ever written! I got this album back in the early 80’s and this song… I’ve probably listened to it 1000 times or more. Just beautiful!
You guys are great
Such a beautiful and hypnotic song
Always love your reaction to BOC
We appreciate you elf man!
Reminds me of my reaction the first time I heard this classic song. Mesmerizing.
BOC always "underplayed" a fraction rather than overdoing it & left us wanting more, part of their genius.
This is such a great under the radar song and the song writing is brilliant.
Great tune. Spectres was the follow up to Agent of Fortune. It's good as a whole.
I saw them 16 times back in the day. They had such a unique sound; early metal and prog laced with science fiction and gothic horror. They also wrote lovely ballads like this gem, which served as their recessional song when the lights came back up after every show I saw. Whenever I hear it now, I remember the fuzzy feeling of trying to come back to my senses while being shuffled along with the red-eyed crowd back to the car. It's a tossup whether Spectres or Secret Treaties is my favorite of their albums. And Donald Roesser might be the most underrated guitarist in Rock! Thx.
Thanks for sharing your memories with us Robert!
This is where I got into BOC. We had tickets to see Skynyrd for the fall of 77. Then the plane crashed and that was that. Ticketron let us exchange our tickets for another upcoming show. We picked this. Opening acts Crack The Sky and The Sanford Townsend Band. This was before the Big Godzilla behind Albert but it was the best ever laser show on the planet at that time. A year later all that shit got shut down and made illegal. But being enveloped in a rainstorm of laser beams floating in dope smoke and dry ice has never left me. From that moment I became a huge BOC fan to this day.
Wow Uncle Chazblitz, you’re part of Rock history!
I saw BÖC twice in '76 and once in '77, every time with their laser show. There has never been a better one. Never.
We may be old, but we got to see all the cool bands!
Peace.
You described BOC at their best, their concerts were memories
What a story and history. Best of times never to be repeated.
I started seeing them in the late 80's and missed all the best of the best. They're still great but that was epic and they were all together and younger.
@@DrummingvulturePink Floyd and Triumph were just as good laser shows...seen them all! Dio was not bad either.
BOC, A treasure from Long Island, NY. One of my all time favorites.
thank you again for this song.
I love it.
soo chill.
Here in Portland Ore. 2:30 am. just chillen on the front porch. A nice 65f plants are flowering like crazy.
ya.
I Love the Night.
This one is so great. It’s on both our playlists! Thanks for watching!
You have great ears. "Spectres" is BOC's tribute to Phil Specter. There is a lot of reverb on this album. They even did a demo of "Be My Baby". Eric Bloom singing Ronnie Spector's part! It gives me goosebumps and it should have been on the album.
Oh wow!
Vera Gemini is another great track by this great band. Always enjoy your opinions on great music guys.
😉
agents of fortune. my god ! what an amazing album!
@Bookhouse Boy "Face like an angel, But you're born like the devil"
@Bookhouse Boy Yes! Way too good. This song doesn't get its due recognition
Thanks so much Brian, we appreciate you!
My fav. band and the best song on Specters; IMO. "Celestial The Queen" is catchy and faster paced.
I love everything about ILTN, but the effect of just holding the one note (chord?) on the keyboard during the chorus/solo parts of the song creates such a special vibe - and is such an interesting creative decision. Glad you've been introduced to its greatness!
We’re glad to be here too! Thanks Donholl!
Check out a live version…extra verses…”out in the air, cool and clear, it’s free, it’s the only way to be…once hidden wonders now are 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’ll forget the day, when they hear me say, I love the night”
❤️
I just saw your reaction to "The Vigil" so I had to subscribe and now your reacting to "I Love the Night" . You are officially awesome.
Thanks so much!
only blue oyster cult could make a song about vampires sound cool- the day is ok and the sun can be fun but i live to see those rays slip away- what a fantastic line
I agree with several others in the comments, this whole album is great. You guys should check out she's as beautiful as a foot. I am 32 and I only recently discovered them a few years ago one night when I was bored looking for something to listen to. I listened to fire of unknown origin the full album first and then I was hooked, it made me go listen to their whole catalog.
On Rockline Radio's Halloween Special [ 31 Oct 2012 ], I got to ask Buck Dharma and Eric Eric one question;
👉 What's the inspiration behind, their funky track, "She's as Beautiful as a Foot", (on their great debut album, 5️⃣0️⃣ years ago). Buck's reply was, "Richard Meltzer, (lyricist collaborator & Crawdaddy! rock critic), wanted to hear original lead singer, Les Braunstein sing those words..."
Meltzer is considered by some rock historians to be the first to write real analysis of rock and roll and is credited with inventing "rock criticism". He also wrote the lyrics for their hit, "Burnin' For You".
☆ That's mock'n'roll for you.
🇨🇦
Thanks Danny!
BoC couldn't go far wrong from 1972-1981.
👉Killer choice & reaction👈
My 1st live encounter with the Cult was in '77 and this very, Spectres Tour. It was a few days after summer solstice, Utopia opened, sharing BÖC's lasers for their own pyramid themed stage show. We scored smokin, row 3, dead centre, floor seats...can still taste the fog machines.
☆ Always great, LIVE👍
🇨🇦
Blue Öyster Cult have a long time affinty with vampire lore...
🧛♂️: Songs with this vampire icon, are directly about the subject; the ones without, have enough details to suggest the topic;
”Curse of the Hidden Mirrors”, (A Stalk Forrest Group song & eventual BÖC album title), is about vampires. This is pre-BÖC.

From what I understand on this song a guy's gf breaks up with him then the same night he quickly meets another girl (in the night) who is a vampire!
Got to love BOC!
Love this song sounds like a movie theme song

Wow
Thanks for doing this one. Great song.
We loved it, thanks for watching AJ!
goosebunps.every.single.time.
'I Love The Night' creates a beautiful atmosphere conveying Euphoric, Ethereal Music with Dark Overtones. We are drawn into the story of a depressed man whose girlfriend just broke up with him - only to succumb to a Vampiress's hypnotic attack. She didn't kill him - rather - he is in the process of becoming her Vampire minion.
"Night makes right. The symbol remains."
Definitely check out the live version of this one from their "Hard Rock Live Cleveland 2014" DVD, the clip is on RUclips (Frontiers Music channel). The studio version sounds a bit dry and distant but the live version is amazing, especially for the guitar solos. Great reaction, nice pick!
Thanks for the suggestion RushTrader!
i was at that show great set list
@@markbyers1651 Yes, love that DVD, lots of amazing performances!
Good comments on the song as a whole. IMHO this is their best album, and it still would be without Godzilla.
BTW, this whole album has been on my playlist since...well, since 1977...LOL
Great job as always.
We love that year for Rock music! Thanks so much Kenneth!
You really need to listen to this song on a good stereo system that can reproduce deep bass tones accurately.
Classic
Great intro! This album followed Agents (Reaper) and they had just had crazy success and their live show had this amazing laser show. They were the first so there were really no regulations on what they were doing. It was crazy! Then between the lazers being very fragile and breaking all the time and the FCC stepping in it got too expensive to use them but this is in the height of all this. The used the lazers on Spectres cover. In fact Bloom said the inside of his glasses are taped in the picture as the lazers are basically shining right in his eyes. As far as the song goes it has been my favorite from the first time I heard it. A true ballad that they rarely did live a really shows Buck pop sense, if you will, in his writing. I'm sure the record company gave them pressure to write another "Reaper" and there are a few slower songs on Spectres. As I've been picking songs to be reviewed I have really rediscovered some songs that I haven't heard in a while. I'm going to continue to skip around as there are gems throughout their catalog. Nothin but love my peeps! ✌️❤🙏🤘
Oh man Billy, this was so great. 😆the FCC getting involved sounds astronomical. Thanks for taking us down memory lane with you!
Bloom had some kind of strobe machine gun device, in those days, that he shot at the audience.
There is another verse, it was left off this version. Available on youtube, of course.
Thanks for the info Doug!
Nice one! One of my long loved favs.
Glad you enjoyed Freddy!
Love this song ... great choice.
"I Love The Night" is about a passionate encounter with a vampire. Buck Dharma romanticizing a scary situation, as he accomplished with "Don't Fear (The Reaper)". The "Spectres" album concludes with a polar-opposite vampire tale; the spine-chilling "Nosferatu", which follows the time-line of Bram Stoker's classic "Dracula".
Thanks for the breakdown Paul! What a story!
@@SightAfterDark There are two passages cut from the studio version that make the story clear:
I love the night
Out in the air, cool and clear, it’s free
It’s the only way to be
I love the night
Once hidden wonders now are there to see
They were pointed out to me
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...
The live version also features an otherworldly Buck solo. You'll hear variations in the guitar playing!

Blue Oyster Cult I Love The Night Live '83
spectres is their best album
Check out "Take Me Away" "Golden Age of Leather"
This is a love song to the max waiting for the Rays to slip away so I can be with you because I'm thinking of you and nothing else the sun is fun but I love the night women get this song I don't think the guys get it too much definitely a romantic love song and remember the beginning words of the song yeah put it all together
Chill list, this song definitely belongs there. Here is one of my favorite "Chill" songs you might really like. Rainbow's "Catch the Rainbow". Peaceful and relaxing song.
Thanks Jalkabre!
On the album cover, that cat sure looks like the plaster covered dead cat in the movie Bucket Of Blood, except it doesn't have a knife sticking out of it.
Anyway, I was trying to describe, to my ex, a dream I had last night, and the thing I thought of was this song, so I sent her a share from your vid. Good work.
Ha! I have a heartbreak playlist.
Thanks so much Simon!
Columbia dropped the ball on this record. They didn't back it like Agents of Fortune. Didn't pay for the airplay!
Columbia dropped the ball with this band period. They are so unique and ridiculously talented musicians and song writers. Should have been so much bigger. Had this song been marketed and pushed on radio I have little doubt it would have hit #1. In the 70s and early 80s this band could make any kind of music popular at the time psychedelic to easy listening ballads to hard rock and heavy metal. They could do it all well. I guess the main issue is their songs and lyrics were just too complex for most people. They didn’t write about what most bands did like sex, drugs and love. This was a collection of talent that most bands could only dream of having.
Agreed
About vampire
Me, with a song like this, I have to just lean back and absorb it. It would ruin my experience to bob my head around. Still, good comments and nice choice
How great for you☺️
Thanks!
The guitar is mesmerizing
Is "The Lady In White" a metaphor for heroine?
You might interpret it that way The song in the same vein as Reaper as it is about a mortal man falling in love with a vampire. So obviously he'd have to die to be with her
he got dumped by his girl and was walking alone then got bit by a lady vampire
lady in white? one look in the mirror? 😉
