I never understood why this didn't go to Number 1 on the Top 100. It's a perfectly crafted rock song with great hooks, superior vocals, powerful guitars, and a rare display of dual drummers that add to the perfection.
I absolutely love this song …, so many memories when I hear this. Wow we grew up in the best time for music I’m in my mid 50’s so you have got to know exactly what I’m talking about ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Video is really substantial... The way Van Zandt kicks his leg up to accentuate the end of that line along w/ the way the screen splits & the fervent passion w/ which they emit those AWESOME lyrics... Seeing the video definitely makes you love the song even more. One of their best, along w/ 'If I'd Been the One' & 'Back Where You Belong'
I grew up in the 80's and never heard this song! Don't you love it when you discover another awesome 80's song you never knew existed?!? I've been blasting this thing on repeat for the last hour LoL. Rock on 38 Special! 🎸
I remember this song.....very clearly. However, I know exactly what you mean. Pink Floyd's Brick In The Wall was the only song I recalled from HS. What a gift to learn of their many great songs later in life.
I was so obsessed with the opening 20 seconds of this song that I recorded it over and over on a cassette to hear just that opening riff for 3 minutes straight. I still am not sick of it. So phenomenally catchy. The greatest pleasant ear worm ever written.
Who's here on July 8th 2024 to listen to this gem,which back in the day deserved to be a top 5 hit,but it didn't even make the top 10..only getting as high as 14..great song!
Fantastic band that has some iconic songs. .38 Special is the definition of melodic rock. I used to blast the car stereo on the way to work and sing along at 4 in the morning... Thank you .38 Special for the memories
Carlisi was an outstanding guitarist, and Barnes one of rock's unique voices. Saw these guys twice live and they were as good as their recordings! Long live southern rock and roll!!!
I think Donnie was a better singer than Barnes. He had a much stronger voice, that I saw them recently here in Jacksonville and they are as good as ever
The song that tells the story of meeting my true love, one night when I was 16. Sadly, he went to be with The Lord 9 years later. I still Love this song though. I am grateful a memory can never be taken away. Even if the heartbreak never leaves, 27 years later.
Jeff Carlisi, plays very melodically and harmonically in this tune, I have always liked his command of the axe with a solid bluesy feel. He is a very agile and creative in playing.
@@aaronbates500 Yep, he's the only original member with them now. Good thing too, I never liked Donnie and he didn't seem to contribute much to the band they couldn't do without.
As a fan of power rock and metal, this band turned my head to enjoying southern rock. 38 Special is a class act and provided songs that would now be coupled with many wonderful memories. Think 1980’s.
Hey buddy I agree with you but I was not too much into the metal bands, but my favorite bands in order are AC/DC, Boston, 38 Special, Rush, and REO Speedwagon. Long live the 80's music!! r
Totally underrated as a vocalist. I have saw them in 4 different states starting in Alabama in 1982 when Special Forces came out. Los Angeles in 1984. Minneapolis in 2000, and Georgia in 2001. Always a badass show. Loved Don with the long hair and beard. Hot.
80s had those curly headed white dudes that could belt it. All natural tenors. This guy, Loverboy and Survivors vocalists come to mind. Sorry im kinda high usually good with names
Id searched this song just because of my mom but now keep on listening to it by myself and I'm already a fan of this band. well I'm just 17 years old from Philippines.
Grew up listening to them. Moved to Florida when I was 15 which is where they are from. The 80s and 90s were the BEST TIMES EVER TO HAVE GROWN UP. Keep your great taste in music young lady and you WILL GO FAR!!!

true I've only got to see them twice that was in the 80s they were my first concert in 1984 and sadly the last time I seen them is when they released this song and the only rock band I have seen with 2 drummers jack and Steve kept perfect timing together on the drums
I was just a teen when these 2 bands was blaring on the radio as i was crewsing the strip chasing girls .. lol a simple time with fin interaction.. speakers loud an 38 special rocking the night.. man, if i could only go back in time, it would be to then..
@@chuckg6039 oky doky bud. I seen them both in 1982 i'm thinkin. Bristol Tn. 20 $ got a ticket and concert shirt. Plus a dollar or 2 for gas. Was about 7 of us packed in a buddy's 69 Charger. We all weighed less ack then. A LOT less
Man, everytime i listen to 38 special i slip back in time to my youth.. crewsing up an down the strip, girls chasing me in my 442 cutlass, jaming with 38 special rocking the night with the windows down, long hair draped over my shoulders, leather jacket , an a heart beating fast with a whole life infront of me.. that was the best of times..
This song is soooooo damn good! Don Barnes is the man! They have a huge catalog of other songs, equally as good. My .38 SPECIAL girl and I have seen them many times and we will be seeing them again in the near future, I hope! ❤️
How was Don Barnes voice? I have heard it is finally failing after all these years, I hope not, what a loss, I love that voice he always seemed effortless in his singing, so strong, yet smooth. I love this band.
Last time I saw them, they played the free concert venue outside at the West End Mall in Dallas, Tx. They all sat down to play guitar on (forgive me, I forgot which tune), and when they finished, the end was so spectacularly, amazingly, unprecedentedly beautiful, thousands of people said "Ahhhhhhh" at the same time. They stopped us cold. I've seen hundreds of classic rock shows and I've never seen that happen, 'cept once.
People that feel .38 Special is the best ever have been smoking something I've been trying to find for 60 years . I always turn it up when .38 special plays when I'm in my car, always.
I seen them at the southern roundup in Philly, I think 1981.......38 special, Molly Hatchet, Allman Bros,The Outlaws and headlined by Marshal Tucker....10 hour concert, 97,000 people......what a party....
Hello beautiful it's nice meeting you here, how are you doing, I hope you're doing well beautiful and I would like to know you more if you don't mind my beautiful?
Perfect song to describe being young, alive and the moment of meeting that one stunningly gorgeous girl that turns your head and heart in one fell swoop. That sweet moment of breathless anticipation of what you had found and the lightning in your heart that made the whole world stand still as you looked into her eyes and there was only the two of you lost in each other. I think we fellas have all shared that moment in life. Anyone else remember? I sure do.
The 1980's were a great time to be alive and old enough to hit the bar scene. Pretty much every real rock band had to start looking like they just came from shooting of an episode of Miami Vice, but the rock and roll was, and still is, good for the soul. Rock on my friends.
I was feelin' like A prisoner inside myself I saw you Lookin' like you might be In a mood to try Anything that was new Don't be starved for The love and laughter Break through, touch a stranger You only get one life This night could be Like no other night With you and me Find the fire in our hearts And dance in the light, yeah We'll take our chances How can we lose We're making our own rules This night can be Like no other night There's a child I can see In the back of your eyes Dyin' to be set free Let the hunger inside you Bring it alive Now baby, this night Won't last forever Break loose Girl, remember You only get one life This night can be Like no other night With you and me Find the fire in our hearts And dance in the light, yeah We'll take our chances How can we lose We're makin' our own rules This night will be Like no other night, yeah, yeah Time you don't use You lose it You grab every moment you can Or it's gone When you can feel, you really Know that you're alive Show that you're alive For one night and This night can be Like no other night With you and me Find the fire in our hearts And dance in the light, oh yeah We'll take our chances How can we lose We're makin' our own rules This night will be like Be like no other night
It took the Southern Boys a Good six years to arrive in the 80's. Looks like the record company ordered mullets, and Miami Vice jackets for all . Great pop tune.
I saw them in concert on July 5th, 1986 in Lake Placid, NY with my best friend and two of his friends. They were stationed at Plattsburgh, AFB, and I was stationed at Dover AFB, DE. That was a great concert.
Don Barnes is the most underrated vocalist in Rock 'n Roll of all time. What a talent !!!!!!!
Met him in Florida late 80s cool guy
Saw them twice in 8 days here in Indiana. Still sounding great!!!
That's the damn truth
Whole group was underrated
@terrylerch6227 yeah I saw them just over a month ago they still sound good
Dual drummers,triple guitars,pure vocals, no auto tune or computer generated sounds true talent!!!!!!

38 Special Like No Other Night 1986
And everyone was totally in sync, and that's extremely difficult.
2 drummers = more cow bell
Real music before it turned to crap. Nowadays music sucks but there's ALWAYS the classics.
Don Frickin' Barnes. The voice of 38.
38 Special is one of the best Southern rock bands of all time
I saw .38 in Omaha in 1986, the concert rocked @ that time. I love the dual drummers. I would definitely see them again.

Man do I wish the orignal members of 38 Special were back together again!
most underated southern rock band of all time
+Ridge97 They sold records though
erich84502ify I said under rated man..yes I seen them in concert in the early 80s great show
Ridge97 Theyre still great! They have a good clean sound.
erich84502ify I love southern rock.I seen molley hatchet last year....I think two of original guys are still in it..they sounded great
Ridge97 They dont make rock like this anymore. The music music is so generic now.
Jeff Carlisi was such a hook master for them, underrated guitarist
I grew up in the 80's and never heard this song! Don't you love it when you discover another awesome 80's song you never knew existed?!? I've been blasting this thing on repeat for the last hour LoL. Rock on 38 Special! 🎸
I also grew up in the '80s and didn't know about it back then. Given that I enjoy .38 Special's other hits, I had to check this out!
It was one of their far lesser known tunes for sure. But still awesome!
I remember this song.....very clearly. However, I know exactly what you mean. Pink Floyd's Brick In The Wall was the only song I recalled from HS. What a gift to learn of their many great songs later in life.
One of the best bands of the 80s in my opinion
And that's saying alot because the 80s...our time...was full of great bands

That Guitar riff is addicting.
I love the intro as well. Unmistakably 38 Special. 😄
Was thinking the same thing, made it a ringtone on my cell phone
I agree, LOVE the opening riff. Can't wait to see it tonight live in St. Louis, July 4rth, 2023.
Actually the last 40 seconds is my favorite part of tune. Really kicks in
Still listening in 2024. ❤❤❤
Needs to be on the Rock n Roll hall of fame. Like to see them go..
Who's here on July 8th 2024 to listen to this gem,which back in the day deserved to be a top 5 hit,but it didn't even make the top 10..only getting as high as 14..great song!
Don Barnes is a great singer
Richard Bennett Agree. He can really knock it out of the park!
Graduated high school in ‘87. Listening to this now,many years later,makes me realize that I was blessed with the years I grew up in.
I graduated in '86. Great memories!!
Class of '88 here...always liked 38 Special but no one else I knew did.
1987 graduate here great song
Yes, not Justin Bieber
Class of 87 here too! Reminds me of Friday night after the football game, we hung out at the Pizza Inn and this would be playing on the juke box!
Should be in the rock and roll hall of fame! 😊
Best vocals of any Southern Rock band.
Fantastic band that has some iconic songs. .38 Special is the definition of melodic rock. I used to blast the car stereo on the way to work and sing along at 4 in the morning... Thank you .38 Special for the memories

"Like No Other Night"

A prisoner inside myself

Lookin' like you might be
In a mood to try
Anything that was new
Don't be starved for
The love and laughter
Break through, touch a stranger
You only get one life
This night could be
Like no other night
With you and me
Find the fire in our hearts
And dance in the light, yeah
We'll take our chances
How can we lose
We're making our own rules
This night can be
Like no other night
There's a child I can see
In the back of your eyes
Dyin' to be set free
Let the hunger inside you
Bring it alive
Now baby, this night
Won't last forever
Break loose
Girl, remember
You only get one life
This night can be
Like no other night
With you and me
Find the fire in our hearts
And dance in the light, yeah
We'll take our chances
How can we lose
We're makin' our own rules
This night will be
Like no other night, yeah, yeah
Time you don't use
You lose it
You grab every moment you can
Or it's gone
When you can feel, you really
Know that you're alive
Show that you're alive
For one night and
This night can be
Like no other night
With you and me
Find the fire in our hearts
And dance in the light, oh yeah

People that feel .38 Special is the best ever have been smoking something I've been trying to find for 60 years . I always turn it up when .38 special plays when I'm in my car, always.
I seen them at the southern roundup in Philly, I think 1981.......38 special, Molly Hatchet, Allman Bros,The Outlaws and headlined by Marshal Tucker....10 hour concert, 97,000 people......what a party....
+michael grabas ...I was there Brother!.... Excellent and memorable... what a party!
Such an underrated band. These guys were amazing. Don Barnes can really lay it down!
Love this band.

it still jams to this day
Jeff, volume all the way up!
Perfect song to describe being young, alive and the moment of meeting that one stunningly gorgeous girl that turns your head and heart in one fell swoop. That sweet moment of breathless anticipation of what you had found and the lightning in your heart that made the whole world stand still as you looked into her eyes and there was only the two of you lost in each other.
I think we fellas have all shared that moment in life.
Anyone else remember?
I sure do.
The 1980's were a great time to be alive and old enough to hit the bar scene. Pretty much every real rock band had to start looking like they just came from shooting of an episode of Miami Vice, but the rock and roll was, and still is, good for the soul. Rock on my friends.
one of my favorite bands big fan of 38 special..
This band always seems like they are having fun on stage. Pure southern rock.
ラジオからこの曲が流れてたの
よ〜く覚えてる…懐かしいなぁ
またラジオで聴きたいです！
Great songwriting, lyrics and musicians. Not underrated. I was raised in the 70s-80s era. They were huge guys.
This is Country! No western Tx in it! Southern Country!
Hello Gayle.. how are things going with you?
I can't decide who is the best band ever...38 Special or Lynyrd Skynyrd.
I was feelin' like
A prisoner inside myself
I saw you
Lookin' like you might be
In a mood to try
Anything that was new
Don't be starved for
The love and laughter
Break through, touch a stranger
You only get one life
This night could be
Like no other night
With you and me
Find the fire in our hearts
And dance in the light, yeah
We'll take our chances
How can we lose
We're making our own rules
This night can be
Like no other night
There's a child I can see
In the back of your eyes
Dyin' to be set free
Let the hunger inside you
Bring it alive
Now baby, this night
Won't last forever
Break loose
Girl, remember
You only get one life
This night can be
Like no other night
With you and me
Find the fire in our hearts
And dance in the light, yeah
We'll take our chances
How can we lose
We're makin' our own rules
This night will be
Like no other night, yeah, yeah
Time you don't use
You lose it
You grab every moment you can
Or it's gone
When you can feel, you really
Know that you're alive
Show that you're alive
For one night and
This night can be
Like no other night
With you and me
Find the fire in our hearts
And dance in the light, oh yeah
We'll take our chances
How can we lose
We're makin' our own rules
This night will be like
Be like no other night
Thanks for the lyrics
thanks for the words....it's a Great Song...
B Jizzle That's what I'm talking about. The best line with all the lyrics by 38 Special.
It took the Southern Boys a Good six years to arrive in the 80's. Looks like the record company ordered mullets, and Miami Vice jackets for all . Great pop tune.
Lol Good one and so true!
The last real quality rock band of an era. Started with the Beatles and ended with 38 Special. 66 and loved the journey.
RIP Larry Junstrom. This is my favorite 38 special song. You will be missed.
@OneManArmy Love his bass in this song
I saw them in concert on July 5th, 1986 in Lake Placid, NY with my best friend and two of his friends. They were stationed at Plattsburgh, AFB, and I was stationed at Dover AFB, DE. That was a great concert.
Mansfield MA Sep 1986 was our date with history!
I wish I had known they were there then..I'm only an hour away!
@@debboyea9567 And they all but drove Bon Jovi out of business that day
Catchy songs, 2 drummers, and solid hits. Wow!
I sure didn't know .38 Special had 2 drummers in the past.
@@norfolksouthernrailfan2006 1986
And tight ensemble guitar playing
I'm so glad these guys are touring again! I can't wait to see them in concert this year !!!!!
wow - I 've forgotten how many great tunes 38 special has. Listen to those chord choices for the bridge and chorus. thats what makes these songs great
38 SPECIAL KICKS ASS STILL AFTER SO MANY YEARS
