- This was the version used from its premiere on SuperStation WTBS on June 3, 1983 until May 1985 when a new version was introduced. Bob Coburn and Joanne Erhart were the voiceover announcers.
I remember watching Night Tracks every Friday and Saturday night back in 83 and 84. Sadly, there will never be TV like this again. Good luck finding something decent to watch on late night TV today.
love this so much. i was about 12 and felt so alive. staying up all night to watch prince's 1999 and was exposed to so much new music. :)
same! I was so excited to stay up to watch this!
DUDE, this WAS my childhood!! Didn't miss an episode.
Staying up all night Friday and Saturday night. Classic. The memories make me sad I grew up.
Ditto!
Straight Facts!!! We even recorded the videos on a cassette player so we could listen to them over again!!! Growing up and 80's child was such a blessing. 👼🏾💕💕💕
I remember staying up all night watching video.
Me, too!
I remember nigh tracks the 80s were so awesome as a kid.
@@jeromecabral7464 for those of us in atl that didn't have cable this show was a blessing. Tbs aired in atl over the air.
Same here. I played football so Friday nights (during football season) was game, dance after game, come home mom had a big plate of food ready, eat, watch videos until I fell asleep. Damn I miss the 80's!
This is from Feb. 1984......I can tell from the Tom Selleck movie.....I was 19 and used to watch this in my barracks room in the Army in Honolulu....I had just gotten there in Jan. and did not know too many people and I used to watch this every weekend before I got to know the other guys and then left the barracks on weekends....it is crazy when I watch this and hear the music I am a lonely 19 year old in the barracks up in the mountains of Oahu....wish I could go back....
I freakin' loved some tbs night tracks as a kid! The 80s was by far the best decade EVER! Everything was like totally awesome you know: the movies, music, fashion, games (atari ruled)!
LOL, like totally! 🤣
@@smill1985 that was Valley Girl impression 😂👍🏻
Dayum I remember this show, I was glued to this show for ever.
Night Tracks, Friday Night Videos and Night Flight. Classic.
Don't Forget USA's Up All Night.
it was the hightlight of my weekends. I can't tell you how many Wham, Lionel Richie, Tina Turner, Duran Duran, Cyndi Lauper, Prince,Huey Lewis, The Cars, Van Halen, Mr. Mister, Pat Benatar, Tears for Fears REO Speedwagon videos i've seen on Night Tracks & Friday Night Videos
Turkey Television? Nick Rocks? 8P
OptimisticCynic715 Oh Yeah! & YO! MTV Raps Too!
@@VBaskin2010 ABC Rocks, which although I lived in the DC area, WJZ in Baltimore, or WJLA in Washington wouldn't pick up the show, but my apartment was on a hill and the Lancaster, PA ABC affiliate had it .
I looked forward to this every friday and saturday late night! Great memories!

Nothing says the good ol' 80s like Night Tracks. I remember trying to stay up all night watching videos then trying to watch cartoons on Saturday morning.
This makes me nostalgic ("Night Tracks" was the score my childhood was set to).
I used to watch Night Tracks every weekend.
I miss the 80's...boo
Same here!
It was a Great time. Ask anybody that lived through it.
You're not by yourself.

I thought I couldn't find this anywhere!! Thank you so much for posting this!! Brings me back! :)
Super station WTBS!!!
Channel 17 in Atlanta !! No cable needed either!!
Just rabbit ears!!!
I was born and Raised in Atlanta on Jonesboro rd in Forest park!
Watched Night Tracks every weekend!!! After braves games!!
Great times
The nostalgia from this video is profound. I miss that Era.
i use to watch this with my mother when i was 3 or 4. very young. michael jackson's videos were frequently on here. RIP MJ
Back then, nothing got me more excited than getting to see Duran Duran AND Huey Lewis and the News both in the same hour! That really made me a happy teenaged girl!😍
I wanna go back! This was on regular tv in Atl. No cable needed.
SuperStation TBS to those of us in SW Ohio. That and SuperStation WGN.
Bruh! I wish I really had a hot tub time machine for real!
I loved Night Tracks!!!!!!!!!!!!Stayed up all night.Bags under the eyes!!!
I used to look forward to this every weekend!
This is the intro I remember. All those friday nights I stayed up watching Night Tracks.
I miss night tracks on Friday and Saturday night. wish they would bring it back
yep, i too watched this show as a kid. i miss it.
they showed more videos in 10 minutes then than what mtv shows in a month these days!
Typical Friday night for the pre teen that I was 83-85 Watch Friday Night Videos, a local Chicago show hosted by DJ's in the area called Rock On Chicago, switch it over to MTV to see if they had anything good (usually Friday Night Video Fights remember that? and the Top 20 Video Countdown) and then Night Tracks somewhere in there all in all that was a night! AH!!!! Great times to be growing up!!!
I freakin’ loved this show! I sooo miss my decade and GOOD music!
These were the good ole days. Elementary school on a Friday night.stayed up late watching night tracks
This just takes me back to when music videos were new and fun and exciting. I remember on Fri. & Sat. nights after 11:00 pm, there were 6 different stations playing videos all night. I'd stay up flipping from one channel to the next to see what video they were showing. You could see alot of different videos that MTV didn't play. Some pretty good ones too.
so cool to see this again. Used to love this show and wait for it all week.
This was the only way to watch videos if you didn't have cable/MTV..I can hear my mom now, "I'm not paying to watch TV..that's crazy!" LOL
How does she feel about it now ?
Looks like paid TV is everywhere nowadays.
It even creeped up my side of the Atlantic...
I loved watching this late on Friday and Saturday night.
Thanks for voicing this show, Bob. RIP Bob Coburn.
YEA THOSE WERE THE GOOD TIMES TODAYS WORLD SUCKS
OMG!!...Me TOO! Back in the Summer's of
'83 and '84!
I grew up with you thanks for making my weekend's
back when tv and music was good.
Just hearing that theme song takes me back to when music videos were still an empty canvas, waiting for the next cutting edge concept to appear! If only I was old enough to make some back then!
Watching that intro is like going home again. Man it just brings back the memories.
This brings back so many memories I can't even express. Wow!
Id watch this all night after getting home from the skating rink.
Wow.
Im 51 in 2023.
me too i would stay up all night on fridays and watch this and sleep for a few hours and get up and watch saturday morning cartoons
Night Tracks was amazing!
Parents had basic cable, so this was the cheap man’s MTV back in the day 👍🏼
Hey night tracks played video MTV didn't including Van Halen's hot for teacher so I was lucky to have it
Back in '83, my town's cable company (Cox) didn't have MTV until 1985. Had no other choice but watch Night Tracks and/or Friday Night Videos.
Channel 17 (WTBS) was owned by Turner Broadcasting and was free in Atlanta. Everyone else in the US had to have cable to get the channel Night Tracks came on. I used to stay up every weekend watching music videos!
Boy do i miss the eighties,staying up all night watching this show all the way to 6am sat morning.Wish i had a time machine.
Oh boy, for all of you 80s babies they should really bring this back I still remember that theme music.
Compared to BET's Video Soul, Video Vibes, New York Hot Tracks, MTV, and other syndicated video programs
Omg help me.... I MISSS the 80's so bad....
Only consistent way to see your favorite video back in the day
I remember watching night tracks from night time to early in the morning. Back when videos where good. Long live the 80's.
I loved Night Tracks. Worst thing they did was cancel it.
Night Tracks was a hella lot cooler back in the day.
Yeah!!! Me and my siblings use to stay up watching this all night JAMMING. Around midnight you knew they were going to play a Michael Jackson video Beat it or Thriller lol. We always wanted Thriller to come on lol.
This and USA up all night were great to watch.
This was the highlight of my Saturday nights in the mid 80's . Now there isn't shit on tv on Saturday nights anymore.
And unlike MTV, Night Tracks showed R&B videos. Used to come on late Friday/Early Saturday at 12:05 am-6:05 am and late Saturday/early Sunday 12:05 am-6:05 am.
Absolutely ! Night Tracks had the best mix of top 40.... Pop, R&B, Hard Rock, maybe even some country, but I don't remember that. So many Friday/Saturday nights of high school and early college spent with that on the TV.
I was a teen when this was on Channel 5 (TBS-i think). it was a 6 hour show on Friday and Saturday nights cut into 3 hour sections. On Friday they would play 11pm to 2am..then another show from 2am to 5am and reverse the order for Saturdays. I loved this show
Wow, Night Tracks!
It was my favorite show on the weekends, sometimes I stayed all night watching videos with a lot of snacks.
I stayed up late for this!
I recall Xmas eve 1984.
Opening gifts watching David Bowie Bing Crosby Xmas duet song on.Night Tracks
Innocent times
Night Tracks is what Saturday nights were all about.
Loved Night Tracks! One thing that I haven't seen anyone comment on is that the videos played in Part 2 on Friday night is what they would play to kick off the show on Saturday night. I also remember the show would sometimes start late because the Braves game wasn't over yet.
I miss music videos. Night Tracks would have a place today
i WATCHED NIGHT TRACKS ALL NIGHT LONG OIF FRIDAYS N SATURDAY NIGHTS.
Thanks for the Upload 👍 !! This was POST Friday night videos !! 🇺🇲
I remember watching night tracks before MTV was a thing. Hanging out with my buddy in Ririe Idaho with not much else to do.
Wow, I wish I had cable or satellite back in the 1980's.
Loved the 80's!!!!!
It was a Magical time for sure!!!
Now I get why Night Flicks during the early 1990s acts and feels like a radio station.
This is where I fall Culture Club for the first time! Time
Amen boy George did rock the house
They'll tumble for you.
@Motorcyclephil Night Tracks was aired on TBS every Friday and Saturday night.
UB40's Labour of Love. Red red 🍷
That was 1983.
Back then you could watch music videos all night long. Now all they show on late night TV is a ton of infomercials.
Late Friday Nights!!
All my favorite music! Nowadays all my favorites are taking a back seat to today's crap! It isn't even music anymore! It's just noise!
+Lori Reece You just aren't looking for good music.
FRIDAY NIGHT VIDEOS on Friday nights and NIGHT TRACKS on Saturday nights. The 80s were the f'n shit
Thank you,found something new😊
Night Tracks from the Producers of Kids Incorporated, The Secret World of Alex Mack and The Journey of Allen Strange
I remember it well
A Great way to end Saturday Nights
God Bless The OLD SKOOL SuperStation WTBS
All I have to say is this...........old school rules.
You're not wrong!!!
Night Flight was awesome too.
Wow! The good Ole days.
Atlanta 1983!
Watching this and "Saturday Night's Main Event" wrestling was the move growing up!!! I miss the 80s so much!! I wish someone would invent a damn time machine that actually works!! All these plastic fakes and horrible music reality shows are trash!
There's a day when I wish there was more channels like this. That is why I recorded VH1Classic before we lost it. I have all the videos I can stand for now. Even my own music video show isn't the same LOL
I remember staying up to jam out
Happy 27th Birthday Night Tracks!
Happy 30th Birthday Night Tracks!
Night Tracks introduced me to Inca Roads by Frank Zappa (the Bickford claymation video) Changed my life.
Watch this every sat morning 3 am every week
someone pleaseeee tell me how to get back to the 80's !!!!!!!!
PRINCESS ROBOT BUBBLEGUM!!!
I WAS NINE YEARS OLD
Yeah and music was actually worth listening to/watching videos then.
I mostly recall Night Flight and Friday Night Videos. Don't recall this one
Just occurred to me, there isnt anywhere we can watch just random videos anymore. MTVs reality BS tanked the ratings so bad that its not even on a lot of cable providers anymore, even if they showed videos, which they havent for, like, 15 years.
On extended cable there is MTV2 but thats extra but alot of the music videos made these days arent really worth paying for it, to be honest. I do think it should become the main MTV again though because I'm sure not going to watch what they're showing on the regular channel now. What I probably would be willing to pay for is a channel that just shows the original MTV broadcasts from the very beginning or highlights of them with the original VJ's. MTVclassics would definately have me watching.
SpreadingtheMuse That's one reason why I finally cut the Cable TV cord in 2010. It's very ironic that there are more cable channels today but way fewer of them air music videos and that's on the digital tier for more money.
apjung
There's hardly anything worth watching anymore. I watch a great deal of Netflix.
+SpreadingtheMuse You can watch random videos on CZcams. :\
Christian B
If I have to physically click them, then they're not "random" (because of course, I made a conscious choice to click them).
Back in the day, you could just flip on a cable channel, and sit down to watch videos for hours. You never knew what was coming next, you never knew what new songs were about to become your favorite song in the whole world. That experience does not exist anymore.
My childhood
I miss Night Track
Man, I wish I had watched this!
I remember this show when I was a kid. It came on in the 90s.
Actually, it was the 80s
All 80's bruh...nothing to do with the 90's!
Yeah in 92. It came on for a while then went off. Use to come on TBS I believe.
Thanks for this :) 🎶💜🌟💜🎶~~~~~>💓°•○☆💕
We all took it for granite until the blue meanies took control
