This version made me fall in love with the song. Great voice! Keel made/makes great music. I have all of their albums. Fond memories of taking the top off of the Trans Am and roaring down the country road blasting "Rock 'n' Roll Outlaw"!
@@terryadams8620 Damn! I didn't see "KEEL" till 85 Grady Cole center Charlotte NC. They opened for Helix , then Accept headlined. 3 band show. It was awesome. My best friend and I met Brian Jay out at the T-SHIRT stand and he was really cool. We were 15 at the time and loved it. I'll never forget it. One of my first shows
Saw Keel live in 86 in McAllen, TX with 2 other bands....one which I don't remember and I think the other one was Raven. I think Raven had a drummer that wore a hockey mask and he would hit himself with the drumstick. Nonetheless Keel stole the show. Best concert to this day that I've been too and I've seen great live bands like Poison, Warrant, the Crue, Ratt and Kiss just to name a few.
I'm ashamed to say I had forgotten this cover. I actually had the cassette (yikes) back in the day. Tears of fire was on it too. I really miss those days, Ron Keel.
I swear in the name of great American heavy metal from the 80's, bands like Keel, Riot, Jag Panzer, Savatage, Crimson Glory, Leatherwolf, Banshee, Metal Church, Fifth Angel, Savage Grace, Meliah Rage and countless others were among the best of the best at metal and never got nearly as much recognition as they should have. It's sad. But we still got some epic works of metal greatness. And Keel made a masterwork out of this timeless song (And I love the original too).
@@MarcFerrari Hi Marc. This is truly an honour for me that you have taken the time to read my comment and share with me the history of how both yourself and the guitarist of Meliah Rage played together at one time. I have been a fan of Keel for a long time and your guitar work has always been a massive inspiration to me. And I loved you in Wayne's World as the guitarist in Cassandra's band. Thanks so much for inspiring me with your music. Best Regards. V.
I remember seeing Keel live at the Eagles Ballroom in Milwaukee. Meet Ron personally before the show and he was the sweetest guy! Stayed and talked with me and my friend Tammy for at least a half hour. Signed autographs and took pics with us!
It’s to bad we can’t go back in time, the 80s best decade ever I miss it, had so much fun the music was awesome and many grand memories. Damn time flies 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I put this on and I'm instantly 16 again.... thinking of things that were going on in my life then... friends who arent here anymore ...its really a bittersweet listen now... it's pretty amazing how music can do that ...
There are several videos, including this one and Tears Of Fire that take me back to 1986 when MTV would have a monthly show that pre-dated Headbanger's Ball called Heavy Metal Mania, hosted by Dee Snider. That show was great, and these videos were part of all that. Those were the days!!!
I saw Keel a bunch of times in L.A. Last time was in '88 at The Country Club where they headlined a triple bill with Jaded Lady opening, then I think Shark Island in the middle. Great show. I didn't realize at the time Mark Ferrari had left the band and saw him in the lobby and said, in my annoying teenage voice, "Dude, you're the guitarist from Keel, right?" and he laughed and said, "Yeah. The guitarist in keel!" Then, when Keel hit the stage I saw why he was laughing. I didn't know he wasn't in the band anymore. The irony...
The same thing happened to me in 2018 and today. I remember listening to this song with my friend in high school and then all of a sudden, for the first time in 10 years, I rediscovered this song.
Grew up with the Corona remix. Thought it was good, until I discovered this version. Of all covers and remixes out there, the Keel one will remain the best, and a great example of a civer better than the original.
Was 14 when I first heard In my 40s now, still gives me chills. Yeah, we study a lot of things, technology, social media, blah blah. A wink from a pretty girl, and you're hearing this song in your head.
@King Brilliant Kramer Neptune, NJ models were actually made in Canada. Not a single Kramer was ever made in Jersey. Your right about Fujigen though, still making great guitars for some of the biggest name brands sold here in the US to this day. I have a Moon Guitar strat copy I just overhauled, build quality is excellent, contacted Fujigen with the serial number to get a production date on it, and the kindly replied they'd have to do some research, and true to their word got back to me a few weeks later. Built in 1989.
G Star I did too! It was a larger bill, tho. It included Accept with Keel and Helix, another band who I can't remember, and local heroes Lillian Axe opened the show. Accept headlined, so they played last. It was in an old ornate theater in New Orleans, and my ears hurt by the time Accept began. Had to move back many rows! A great show, nonetheless. Man I miss the 80s metal shows!!
Now that I think about it, I believe Accept headlined my show as well. Don't know how I forgot that. It was in the old Grady Cole music theater in Charlotte.
This would be considered sacrilege to Patti Smith and Springsteen fans, but this is easily the best version of this song. Keel was so fucking underrated. The Right To Rock & The Final Frontier were every bit as good as anything else that came out in 84, 85, 86, & 87.
Take me now, baby, here as I am Pull me close, try and understand Desire is hunger, is the fire I breathe Love is a banquet on which we feed Come on now, try and understand The way I feel when I'm in your hands Take my hand when I'm under cover They can't hurt you now, can't hurt you now, can't hurt you now Because the night belongs to lovers Because the night belongs to us Because the night belongs to lovers Because the night belongs to us Have I a doubt, when I'm alone Love is a ring a telephone Love is an angel, disguised as lust Here in our bed 'til the morning comes Come on now, try and understand The way I feel under your command Take my hand, as the sun descends They can't touch you now, can't touch you now, can't touch you now Because the night belongs to lovers Because the night belongs to us Because the night belongs to lovers Because the night belongs to us It belongs to us With love we sleep With doubt the vicious circle turns and turns The yearning burning I believe it's time to really feel So touch me now, touch me now, touch me now Oh, because the night Because the night Because the night Because the night belongs to us Because the night belongs to lovers Because the night belongs to us Because the night belongs to lovers Because the night Because the night belongs to lovers Because the night belongs to us Because the night belongs to lovers Because the night
Saw Keel open for Quiet Riot in Poughkeepsie, NY during a snowstorm. Very small crowd but to both bands’ credit, they did not half-ass it. Keel was great and we met Ron Keel after the show out by the bus. Just a few of us and a couple others and he talked about the show, tour, etc.. for probably 20 min and was very appreciative we showed up in that weather.
2024 still a gem
The best cover of this song ever
It's just crazy that in the era of the power ballad this didn't push Keel over the top.
I agree
The were produce by Gene Simmons. It's a mystery.
Agreed and wasn't this a Springsteen cover to boot?
@@garettoverstreet, I think he did do a version of this, but as I recall it was originally done by Patty Smith.
@@garettoverstreet No lmao
One of the best covers ever!!!
Actually prefer this to the original
Was just thinking the same!
@@micway71 me too
This is the definitive version. Not as sappy as Natalie Merchant's, which I do like, or as plaintive as Bruce's.
Same here
Agreed
Keel opening for Krokus is the first concert I ever went to. 16 years old.
Still 2024
Best version! Always a gem
Agree
2020, still sounds awesome!
2023 and still awesome
2024 🤘🏻🤠
2024 in 26 years
Es mí canción favorita de Patti Smith.. pero me enamoré de este cover ♥️
im 51 and still love metal
Me too
Me too ❤
Me too
The best cover ever 😎✌✌
Wow,,,,I had no idea he covered this. This is incredible
Best version ever!
Was never a big Keel fan but, this is the best version of this song Ron Keel "nailed" it!!!!!! Love this version!!!!
Never knew this was a remake, then 10,000 Maniacs redid it again. Keel still has the best version.
This version made me fall in love with the song. Great voice! Keel made/makes great music. I have all of their albums. Fond memories of taking the top off of the Trans Am and roaring down the country road blasting "Rock 'n' Roll Outlaw"!
Love this version!! Saw Keel and Bon Jovi in August 1987. Was one of the best concerts I’ve ever been to.
Me to keel kick asa bon jovi so so
Good show i saw him with his frist band also steeler

My big idol, Ron Keel ❤
Love this version
Absolute best version of this song
I agree
En 2024 todavía es una joya
What a band they were 80s metal you can’t beat it
Killer arrangement! Had to chase it down after it played on one of the tv's at the gym. I'm amazed not to have seen it many years ago.
The best version of this song
F**k patty what'sherface!
Yes definitely
Love this song! It's one of my top favorites of all time! ❤❤❤❤
I'm ashamed to say I had forgotten this cover. I actually had the cassette (yikes) back in the day. Tears of fire was on it too. I really miss those days, Ron Keel.
I've got the cassette still!

Fantastic Band best version

I always loved this song. It should have been a huge hit.
Me too
Still the BEST version of this song EVER❤️
Metal school brought me here! I am so glad they did! \m/
I love all three versions, just a great song.

Excelente cover
Keel fan since 1990 from Karachi pakistan i love ron keel voice what a smart man he was. Great band
Awesome version of this song . Great voice!!!
This was the first version of this song i heard and still my favourite.
"Because the Night" is a rock song written by Bruce Springsteen and Patti Smith that was first released in 1978
Love this song the original and this version 🤟🤟🎸
2021 and as awesome as I remember it on cassette.
I’m Dominican and Philippine, I love all genres of music!!!!
Ever have a song that you haven't heard in decades suddenly start looping in your head? Today I woke up with this in my head for some strange reason.
The same thing happened to me in 2018 and today. I remember listening to this song with my friend in high school and then all of a sudden, for the first time in 10 years, I rediscovered this song.
I'm here today for this very reason.
great cover great album long live the final frontier
Dude, Final Frontier was excellent metal!!
Great cover. 🤘⛓️☠️
Happy 62nd birthday Ron Keel 🎉🎂🎉
I love his voice and scream
ＧＲＥＡＴ！
THEME SONG FOR THE NIGHT !!!!!, THANX KEEL SO MUCH FROM SHERIDAN , WYOMING , USA 😈💔💋
Masterpiece!!
one of the first metal songs i heard!!!!!!!!!
Ron Keel, my name is Ceasar, and I really salute your voice.
Best!👍👉🤘
Grew up with the Corona remix.
Thought it was good, until I discovered this version.
Of all covers and remixes out there, the Keel one will remain the best, and a great example of a civer better than the original.
Yes definitely love this song
This rendition punctuates my journey through life...
Was 14 when I first heard
In my 40s now, still gives me chills. Yeah, we study a lot of things, technology, social media, blah blah. A wink from a pretty girl, and you're hearing this song in your head.
当時、この曲が気に入って、シングルレコード買った覚えがあります❤
underrated
I had my doubts, but this is a great cover
❤❤❤
Que poder de canción
My Young years..... yess
Крутая песнь-гимн юности!!!
Great 80s (patti) cover !!! Awesome !!!
It was written by Bruce Springsteen
A TIME WHEN GOOD GUITARS WERE MADE IN THE USA!
JACKSON Custom Shop Is Still Going Here In The USA! Although VERY PRICEY!
@@markpalio4411 pricey and honestly not worth it. My damn Epiphone Les sounds better than my Gibson SG
@King Brilliant Kramer Neptune, NJ models were actually made in Canada. Not a single Kramer was ever made in Jersey.
Your right about Fujigen though, still making great guitars for some of the biggest name brands sold here in the US to this day.

My friend Ron, i love this song .
Me too
Great video by a great band
Love these guys, saw them at The Bronco Bowl in Dallas, Tx,with Helix and Accept. 🤘🤘🤘
nice cover
The main reason this song worked was because none of us 16 and younger had never heard Patty Smith. This version is classic and the only one I know.
Me and my bud gabe sitting in his room playing albums all night. Watching rasling!!
Brian Jay was my route manager for my paper route, such a cool dude.
Wow, my best friend and I met him in 85 when Keel opened up for Helix and Accept... Charlotte NC
Like this better than the 10,000 Maniacs version.
Probably the best song Springsteen gave away
Great song! Thanks for posting!
If there was ever a song that felt so right for everything i ever wanted to be: Here it is
Bruce Springsteen writrs great songs
I saw Keel and Helix in 1985 when I was a junior in High School. Great fucking time!
G Star
I did too! It was a larger bill, tho. It included Accept with Keel and Helix, another band who I can't remember, and local heroes Lillian Axe opened the show. Accept headlined, so they played last. It was in an old ornate theater in New Orleans, and my ears hurt by the time Accept began. Had to move back many rows! A great show, nonetheless. Man I miss the 80s metal shows!!
Now that I think about it, I believe Accept headlined my show as well. Don't know how I forgot that. It was in the old Grady Cole music theater in Charlotte.
Love this rendition I seen keel with Queenryche @ The California Theater in San Diego 1988. Best venue to see the band up close & personal!
This would be considered sacrilege to Patti Smith and Springsteen fans, but this is easily the best version of this song. Keel was so fucking underrated. The Right To Rock & The Final Frontier were every bit as good as anything else that came out in 84, 85, 86, & 87.
They should have more likes and views on this
I agree!
loved Keel
Take me now, baby, here as I am
Pull me close, try and understand
Desire is hunger, is the fire I breathe
Love is a banquet on which we feed
Come on now, try and understand
The way I feel when I'm in your hands
Take my hand when I'm under cover
They can't hurt you now, can't hurt you now, can't hurt you now
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
Have I a doubt, when I'm alone
Love is a ring a telephone
Love is an angel, disguised as lust
Here in our bed 'til the morning comes
Come on now, try and understand
The way I feel under your command
Take my hand, as the sun descends
They can't touch you now, can't touch you now, can't touch you now
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
It belongs to us
With love we sleep
With doubt the vicious circle turns and turns
The yearning burning
I believe it's time to really feel
So touch me now, touch me now, touch me now
Oh, because the night
Because the night
Because the night
Because the night belongs to us
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night
Ron Keel is the best singer for me!
Great cover song my memories
Love it!
