I hear this and in an instant I'm 40 years younger......Why are they still playing? And believe me...I ask this with tears in my eyes. Eric is winding up, god bless him. Buck is.....immortal?!! What the eff is going on?!. I wish the Bouchards were still on board.....I wish Allen was still with us. My memories of these tours...and if you're like me, they transcend life.....I'll be 60 in 32 days. they don't go away...
Hey bubba! It’s now another year older. I just turned 65 and I feel just like you did. Take care. I hope there will be another year for the both of us.
I will be 62 in 2023.I grew up in Jacksonville Florida many live shows gone by. All the memories. We lived during the best music times. Music has been such a big part of my life and now such a connection to the memories.Sometimes I cry myself , I have been so blessed.Embrace the musicand the memories it brings back.
Just saw them at a local theater. Just as good as ever! I don't know about Deep Purple or Led, but they are a damn fine band that has stood the test of time! @@Ariovistus1
More than any other song, I wish BOC would release a studio version of the full length of this song with the additional verse and an extended guitar outro. For my money, this is Buck's best work, rivaling even the great David Gilmore.
that last solo was just transcendent. Just incredible. Playing rhythmicly but as a lead, thwipping in mini phrases within the ballsier., multinote rhythic leads. Controlled aggression.
I have a history with BOC since '72, seen them 4 times in smaller venues, knew the Bouchard brothers way back when. This is a mature Buck at his finest. Not overplayed, yet complex and controlled. And pure class watching Eric and and Kasim slowly backpedal while Buck demonstrates, at 67 years old, why he's one of the greats. Front and center, where he belongs.
The Local Los Angeles Radio stations KMET 94.7 and KLOS 95.5 played this song a lot in 1977. Blue Oyster Cult's Lesser known songs should be Hits. I Love all of Their Music. \m/ \m/
BOCs has so many great songs. One of the reasons there fan base is so large and supports their shows endlessly for decades. So many songs to fill the set.
Just think, to perform like this, after all these years...Wow, they sound superb.. In two more years they'll be celebrating 50 years as Blue Oyster Cult. There was only one Jimi Hendrix. One Randy Rhodes. One Alvin Lee. Buck Dharma is still with us. Enjoy the magical melodies he creates, along with the rest of this top notch band while their still touring.
Hey Jeepster, right you are. They are amazing live. What is even more apparent if you see them live is how much they still enjoy playing. I know Buck personally........... he and his wife/ kids are a true class act as well. I've finally convinced my inlaws to see them with us. They are 72 years old. My father in law actually new Buck back in HS on Long Island. I know they are gonna be blown away. Can't wait. Be well.
I will bud. Glad to find people like you who get Buck/BOC. I'm kind of glad in a way that they never got the "crazy" critical fame. I feel that they are just too special. They are way over the heads of the casual listener. Think of this Jeepster...... 50 years nearly. They are still playing, still great and have a solid fan base................With ZERO help from the corporate music world. I think that peeps like us are damn lucky to know them. I'm on Long Island BTW. Wheres home for you?
@@jeepsterrex2185 Unfortunately not Rex............ that was on my radar too. I've got a 50th Bday surprise party to go to. I spaced on you last reply about the Riverhead show.............. It was outstanding. A few set list surprises too. Eric sounded better than he has in a while too. I was hoping to hear something from the new CD but, nope, was not even mentioned by them. You're in Queens?? I was a Glendale kid many moons ago. be well enjoy it.
I bought all BOC albums back in the 70's/80's, love the band but never got to see them in concert. One of my friends Roger Lanier was a cousin to Alan. So many great songs!!!!
Saw them at the Providence Civic center late 70's several times. I recall one show where this Canadian hand opened for them - I think their name was Rush. Needless to say, one hell of a show!
These guys jus get better with age. Movin' slo but still kicking ass. I would love to be able to do jus one single song like this and they have 3 dozen. Criminally underrated band.
That performance is really so good, seen them for the first time last october when they were supporting deep purple in glasgow, of course i've heard of BOC and only knew 2 of their songs but was so impressed by their performance and like their symbol,,,,im hooked ! Just wish i'd listened to them earlier in life.
There are some songs that will give a chill when heard, this one does it for me, especially after this many years and age, their playing and vocals is stellar. So highly underrated. All of their songs and lyrics are so original. They made their music their way.
I first heard this song live at a place called Captain Zax in Springfield, Va. Eric said "here's something for you lovers of the dark", & they did I Love The Night. Leave it to BOC to make a vampire tune that's awesome & romantic.
Yeah - that place was actually called Jaxx, and I was at that show in the early 90's, 92 I think. Blew me away, especially with the extra verse. A couple years later Eric rode my Harley up on stage in that place. Good times.
Thanks Frontiers for picking up a great band that deserves better exposure than they have received in the past. Don't Fear the Reaper is a top 100 classic of all time and should be recognized as such!!!! Cheers!
The best concert I've ever seen, Jansen Beach ice arena Portland Oregon 1979 , snowing , road closers, about only 600 attended, Black Oak Arkansas, Pat Travers covered, When BOC came out they said they were going to put on a show, this when they had the full on laser show, they delivered!!!
Life long fan, got to see them again here in Portland just before Covid hit and people started burning the city every night... Took my son, he and I had a great night, really opened his eyes to what a group of old masters can do.
One of my favorite BOC tunes and it sounds like nothing else out there. I've seen them 6 times from the early 80's to as recent as 2019 but this song was never on their set list. This is the first live version I've ever seen and it is awesome...outstanding!
Best song about vampires, hands down. The studio version was missing a verse that they added to their live shows, like here. Missing verse: Now I never rise until sun falls. And my vision knows no walls. And I’m looking for ladies walking alone. They forget the day. When they hear me say ... I love the night ...
I thought it was about a ghost that the singer fell in love with, the lyrics make a lot more sense now. This is such a peaceful entrancing song...... Kind of like a vampire's entrancement.....
I was lucky enough to have heard them play this at my first concert in 2015. Unfortunately I didn't realize how rare it is for them to play it or else I would've had every moment etched in my memory!
Continuing to live vicariously through every live version I can find of this band. My concert is "postponed" but I love them so much! Thank you. Please post as many live videos as you possibly can.
I recall seeing/hearing BOC at an outdoor venue in NE Ohio. A thunderstorm approached from the West. While other bands would pack it in, BOC kept playing. The wind caused the huge BOC banner to billow in the wind. Distant lightning and thunder punctuated their stellar performance. I dedicate this tune in VERY loving memory of My Rachel -- My Resplendent Creature of the Night. "Astronomy" inspired me to start writing again. Thanks Eric Bloom and Buck Dharma!

They still play because, like us, no matter the age, you never stop loving the music.
You're so right. Without the echo of your past life, what would it be like?Thanks for utube. I am reliving my life with the memories that I love.
Thanks for those words Bill. BOC is so special to me. They are the soundtrack of my life.....

Spectres is one of the most UNDERRATED albums of ALL TIME. I still own it on 8-track. Just an amazing masterpiece!
Totally underrated, sadly. One of the great 70's rock albums imho.
Secret Treaties.
@@spitfireaace Yes, 100% agree. One of their top records.
@@spitfireaace Absolutely.
my fave BOC album!
Buck is one of the most beautiful,melodic guitarists to ever live.
Perhaps....the most underrated band of all time.
Just have to be, insanely good band.
Either them or Thin Lizzy
You are so right
But they have amazing loyal fans They are my favorite band ever
And Just as Great as Black Sabbath, Deep Purple , and Led Zeppelin!
Just saw them at a local theater. Just as good as ever! I don't know about Deep Purple or Led, but they are a damn fine band that has stood the test of time! @@Ariovistus1

How does he sing and play leads at the same time?🤔
Greatest American rock ‘n’ roll band ever period.
Spectres....my absolute favorite BOC record.
"RAISE YOUR CAN OF BEER ON HIGH....."
Rock on Kids!
Buck’s playing at the end of this song is just PHENOMENAL
I have a history with BOC since '72, seen them 4 times in smaller venues, knew the Bouchard brothers way back when. This is a mature Buck at his finest. Not overplayed, yet complex and controlled. And pure class watching Eric and and Kasim slowly backpedal while Buck demonstrates, at 67 years old, why he's one of the greats. Front and center, where he belongs.
Kasim Sulton is looking at him the whole time, too. I think he might be impressed by it.
@@Trilaan who wouldn’t be?
This song should be a hit... like so many other lesser known BOC songs. One of my faves from Spectres.
Yes - overlooked classic. Music industry is so strange.
I remember this was played on FM rock radio a it...back in the day.
Iiii love this song...
The Local Los Angeles Radio stations KMET 94.7 and KLOS 95.5 played this song a lot in 1977. Blue Oyster Cult's Lesser known songs should be Hits. I Love all of Their Music. \m/ \m/
THIS VERSION! The original, unedited version should have been on Spectres in the first place.
The guitar riffs are haunting as intended .....my absolute favorite song by BOC.
BOCs has so many great songs. One of the reasons there fan base is so large and supports their shows endlessly for decades. So many songs to fill the set.
This is my favorite BOC song. Beautiful and deep. Its off the album Spectres. Bitchin album! I lived off that album. And still do!
Just think, to perform like this, after all these years...Wow, they sound superb.. In two more years they'll be celebrating 50 years as Blue Oyster Cult. There was only one Jimi Hendrix.

One of the best outro solos ever. Roeser is criminally underrated.
Definitely the greatest song ever out there about a vampire romance.
A fkn Vampire song ....that just rocks.
THAT Tone man.............THAT Tone !
Buck's tone for 50 + years ..
I bought all BOC albums back in the 70's/80's, love the band but never got to see them in concert. One of my friends Roger Lanier was a cousin to Alan. So many great songs!!!!
It would be great to get all of these BOC fans together
I agree with all your comments
Yet many of my friends just don’t get it🙁
Saw BOC and Steppenwolf at Alpine Music Theater in Wisconsin in the late 1970s. Seen BOC almost a dozen times since. Go Buck!
This song just takes you to places in your head.....where its dark,,,,where its always night time ....and you are in love with it
I always loved BOC since early 80's. Such an underrated band, and that is why I love them so much. There latest album The Symbol Remains is so good.
So cool to see Kasim Sultan on bass.... great addition.
That freaked me out, I always associate him with Todd
I have worked night shift since 1970's. This is BOC singing to me
Saw them at the Providence Civic center late 70's several times. I recall one show where this Canadian hand opened for them - I think their name was Rush. Needless to say, one hell of a show!
Blue Öyster Cult
"I Love The Night"
Live At The Hard Rockisino
Cleveland, Ohio, 2014
Once you hear this tune, you'll never forget it. Everyone has its story related to this song.
Buck has mastered the ability to basically play both rhythm and lead guitar simultaneously
These guys jus get better with age. Movin' slo but still kicking ass. I would love to be able to do jus one single song like this and they have 3 dozen. Criminally underrated band.
Kasim Sultan killing it on bass and backing vocals
The Most Underrated "Greatest" ROCK Band of All Time!!!!!!!
I stumbled upon this hit of Blue Oyster Cult a few weeks back, it's been in my head since I first heard it ! Truly underrated
Best song of turning into a vampire.
Bottom line, We all ♥️ I ♥️ the night. 😉🙂 Thank You B.O.C.
Beautiful song. That other verse always throws me.
Wow I've never heard that extra verse at the end, love this song even more now!
I never heard it before either, Amazing 🎸🔵
Apparently Sandy Pearlman told Buck to cut it for the version in Spectres in the hopes that a shorter version would make for a better single
I saw BOC on Thanksgiving night 1976
In Seattle
Yeah
That performance is really so good, seen them for the first time last october when they were supporting deep purple in glasgow, of course i've heard of BOC and only knew 2 of their songs but was so impressed by their performance and like their symbol,,,,im hooked ! Just wish i'd listened to them earlier in life.
They are amazing live, top band.
Blue Oyster Cult, my favorite band!!! And, I Love the Night is one of my favorite songs.
There are some songs that will give a chill when heard, this one does it for me, especially after this many years and age, their playing and vocals is stellar. So highly underrated. All of their songs and lyrics are so original. They made their music their way.
One of BOC's best songs!
It is so cool they're pulling up these classic songs. Long Live BOC.
My all time fave song. Buck is the best!
Martso MINE TOO!!!
I Love The Night Is A Beautiful Great Song By Blue Oyster Cult.
No bells and whistles, just great rock and lyrics
Buck Dharma is just so damn gifted. Spectres is my favorite album of all time, and that is saying something.
The drum beat on this song is fantastic
I first heard this song live at a place called Captain Zax in Springfield, Va. Eric said "here's something for you lovers of the dark", & they did I Love The Night.
Leave it to BOC to make a vampire tune that's awesome & romantic.
Yeah - that place was actually called Jaxx, and I was at that show in the early 90's, 92 I think. Blew me away, especially with the extra verse. A couple years later Eric rode my Harley up on stage in that place. Good times.
Thanks Frontiers for picking up a great band that deserves better exposure than they have received in the past. Don't Fear the Reaper is a top 100 classic of all time and should be recognized as such!!!! Cheers!
Great to hear BOC playing this song these days. Beautiful.
The best concert I've ever seen, Jansen Beach ice arena Portland Oregon 1979 , snowing , road closers, about only 600 attended, Black Oak Arkansas, Pat Travers covered, When BOC came out they said they were going to put on a show, this when they had the full on laser show, they delivered!!!
Not underrated to me. One of my all time favorite bands to this day.
Legions of persons making comments on YT confuse "underrated" and "underappreciated".
Great song 👍. They wrote so many great songs.
Life long fan, got to see them again here in Portland just before Covid hit and people started burning the city every night... Took my son, he and I had a great night, really opened his eyes to what a group of old masters can do.
Cities are on flame, but unfortunately not with rock and roll
This gives me chills. Always did, always will...
Such a great song
Donald sounds great still to this day. Music has kept him young.
One of my favorite BOC tunes and it sounds like nothing else out there. I've seen them 6 times from the early 80's to as recent as 2019 but this song was never on their set list. This is the first live version I've ever seen and it is awesome...outstanding!
He never plays it the same way twice! Absolutely outstanding!!
magical guitar melodies 🖤🥲
I loved this ❤️ song for its lyrics but also it let me escape and abusive relationship long ago far away
Ah, new lyrics. I love it. Miss you guys. Where can I get the new lyrics?
Best band of all time.
Great song. BOC is my fav band. Grew up with these guys. Show in my future.
Best song about vampires, hands down. The studio version was missing a verse that they added to their live shows, like here.
Missing verse:
Now I never rise until sun falls.
And my vision knows no walls.
And I’m looking for ladies walking alone.
They forget the day.
When they hear me say ... I love the night ...
It's there.
That song would be nosferatu
Ah. It's about vampires. Makes sense now.
I always perceived it as a guy telling his gf he cheated on her with a girl he met one night.
I thought it was about a ghost that the singer fell in love with, the lyrics make a lot more sense now. This is such a peaceful entrancing song...... Kind of like a vampire's entrancement.....
It’s about drugs, specifically coke
Most underrated band ever, been a fan since the 70's!💜
❤ sound of their own ❤
Buck is a fabulous song writer
One of my favorite BOC songs of all time.
This is one of the best ever performed live songs ever, ever ever. 😊
Waiting for the new album this year.
Pure magic. I love the night and BOC!
buck can be so subtly dramatic, operatic and chaotic in such a beautiful context.
Hey, my birthday! Great version.
Sublime and majestic. 😊
Beautiful
I was lucky enough to have heard them play this at my first concert in 2015. Unfortunately I didn't realize how rare it is for them to play it or else I would've had every moment etched in my memory!
Like me! I see you walking alone! Great line! This sounds awesome I’ve seen some other version but just not as good!
One of my all time favorite bands
BOC is so underrated
Continuing to live vicariously through every live version I can find of this band. My concert is "postponed" but I love them so much! Thank you. Please post as many live videos as you possibly can.
I must see this band
@@JohnViguerie Yea. me too.
I love this song from my all time favourite band hope to see them again soon. Cheers
Their best !
Was that Kasim from Utopia? That was the best version of that song I ever heard.
Saw them many times in NE Ohio, at Blossom and other places.
Vocals are still spot on!
Kasim Sulton + BOC 🤯 ❤❤❤
Always one of my favourite BOC songs.
More , brilliant
ONE OF THE BEST BOC SONGS!
A favorite.
I LOVE B O C and did my great friend Ray Satterfield. Cleveland Rock (Collinwood,ohio)🎙🎻🎼🎵🎶
I recall seeing/hearing BOC at an outdoor venue in NE Ohio. A thunderstorm approached from the West. While other bands would pack it in, BOC kept playing.

Sounds like Blossom?
They are Troopers
Always putting on a fantastic show
First saw them doing the On your feet or on your Knees Tour there was magic there that day really 1 of the best shows I have ever seen
I think by 4:50 the rhythm section realized they couldn't keep up.
Buck 🤘😎🤘
Such a massive live act...always getting better.
Love it. BOC still got it. Always.
Blue Oyster Cult really rocks New York.
Oh yeah brother.
the uniqueness of BOK in the combination of visionary, weird, refined and advanced music with a consistently high quality of performance
These are the clearest vocals of any live recordings I've heard.
