I Was KROQ,s First VAN DRIVER . AKA GO-FER -- AKA REQUEST TAKER -- AKA UNPAID INTERN for about two years when KROQ was in Pasadena .
That was when Jed The Fish worked days and the poor man was just starting his career . I was on call during the day . Driving DJs to Concerts or Grand openings at record stores all over the L.A. Area , Taking Rodney over to Poo Bah's Records to look for something special, All Vinyl . And on weekends my job was with Rodney at night , Taking Requests and making sure he had enough TAB and Veggie Pizza on hand. The Logo on my VAN at that time , KROQ FM Turning 106.7 UP. It was a Baby Blue 1978 Dodge Van . All later KROQ Vans were little Mini Vans.
CHERISH EVERY DAY PEOPLE. You can not get them BACK!
My parents had JUST MARRIED on the KROQ van on their wedding day!! TOO COOL
I first heard of this song through Rodney's radio set.
@@pern1044 A lot of us did! This is how he opened the show. So great.
This is a 100 % Harry Nilsson composition. One of his best. I wish he had done a proper recording of his own. It would have been wonderful!!
That's so true...! At least we got that piano demo that's already a jewel on it's own...
Yes he was just the best
Enjoy! th-cam.com/video/qKiHSMyefac/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=HarryNilsson-Topic
A tribute to the GOAT. Brian Douglas Wilson.
u jus said it’s 💯% his 😹😹😹 but n he needa re-record it😹😹😹
it def wouldn’t’ve be as fire with out my hb’s help
Phil Spector's productions are pure natural magic. No wonder Brian Wilson was so obsessed with it
Absolutely, he was the very best. No one could get that sound. Brian used to observe him in silence in the studio for hours.
Brian Wilson was at the sessions and Loved the tune!
It’s said this song was also the reason why the smile tapes got leaked as Brian wanted a copy and traded the smile tapes for it. Also rumours that Dennis leaked it too’ Brian does a rendition of this song on 1995 album songs for Harry
This is so much Brian here!
@@MrJoeybabe25 this is certainly Brian's style of singing from 1984- 1996
@@brandonbreitkreuz1549 where’d you hear that?
I told him
_Written in tribute to Beach Boys leader Brian Wilson, the song is one of three that were credited jointly to Harry Nilsson and Phil Spector, although Nilsson submitted that he was the sole writer on a 1966 copyright form._
Considering Spektor's track record, I'm inclined to believe Nilsson.
@@Zannathin It did. Brian happened to be at Gold Star Studios when this was recorded. He asked Phil Spector if he could listen in. Brian was so entranced that he listened to the song on repeat for 30 minutes. Years later, in 1973, Brian ran into Harry Nilsson at a party. They got to talking about this very song. Brian sat the piano and played it from memory.
This song was written in tribute to Brian Wilson? What?
He could have re-written parts of it when he produced it, so it’s not necessarily a lie. Spector actually didn’t take songwriting credits for songs he didn’t write. Jeff Barry said it was a true collaboration and so did Doc Pomus and Leonard Cohen.
i first heard his song on Rodney on the Roq every sunday night for years! been one of my favorites ever since
Been going down the list of “songs produced by Phil Spector” on Wikipedia. So many absolute hits
And this song kind of least amongst them. Listen to Lennon.
He was a true dickhead tho, pointing gun a the head of one very famous singer he worked with so she would keep trying to record a song while she was exhausted
You can definitely hear the coda of "I Just Wasn't Made For These Times" here.
California girls
Brian Wilson loved this tribute song so much you can hear variations of it in half a dozen of his later compositions.
And Brian performed it on the Harry tribute album "For the Love of Harry: Everybody Sings Nilsson".
"I Just Wasn't Made for These Times" and "All I Wanna Do" are the obvious ones -- the melody is in the former and the chords in the latter. "All I Wanna Do" is basically a contrafact of "This Could Be the Night."
@@BessieBopOrBach yeh, also these chords are the same as Little Saint Nick, with that I, Imaj7, I6, ii dim chord sequence
Classic Spector production from a beautiful composition by Harry Nilsson. The slide guitar is hauntingly memorable.
Brian Wilson’s Instagram has a clip of him playing this at the piano pre show to Al Jardine.
and he sings it so nice and i cant understand why he cant sing like that in show
Can't hear well live..

The brilliant "Fast' Eddie Hoh on drums who went on to become a first call session player: Donovan (eg Season of the Witch),
The Monkees (eg Daydream Believer), Bloomfield, Kooper, Stills Super Session, Tim Buckley, Harvey Mandel etc. He backed The Mamas and Papas at Monterey 1967.
My fave drummer, he emoji’d me just before he died. He laid down the most incendiary piece of drumming ( along with Mitch Mitchell’s Fire, no pun intended) ever recorded on Goin Down. 👌
I am obsessed with this tune O__O
This rules, I love this song and it sucks it never got the attention it deserved
I'd love a modern clean cover with a 60s vibe...
The problem is mono doesn’t translate well to headphones, so the most ideal way of listening to this is speakers. That’s where the sound really pops.
The closest thing to this would be Tatsuro Yamashita’s version.
KROQ 106.7 Rodney On The Roq !! 😎
Rodney understands music.
"Count Smoke-ula"
indeed!
Rodney in the 80's!! What was the other thing he played with the surfer girl talkin about her boyfriend and battle of the bands? It was not Brooke Shields.
Still listen to him Sunday nights on the Underground Garage on satellite radio
Lyrics:
All of these nights that we’ve been a dating
All of these nights that we’ve been awaiting
Something tells me that the time is getting right
Oh, each time we kiss it takes a little bit longer
And my love for you gets a little bit stronger
And I feel like I’m-a-sittin’ on dynamite
So this could be the night
The night I’ve waited for
This could be the night
I’m gonna give her all my love and more
Wow, wow, wow
When it comes to lovin’ she’s a natural master
And each night she’s there well my heart beats faster
Deep down inside I know the best is yet to come
Oh oh gonna pick her up about a quarter to seven
I know were gonna take a little trip to heaven
And if it’s love she wants then I’m gonna give her some
So this could be the night
The night I’ve waited for
This could be the night
I’m gonna give her all my love and more
Wow, wow, wow
So this could be the night
The night I’ve waited for
This could be the night
I’m gonna give her all my love and more
Wow, wow, wow
So this could be the night
The night I’ve waited for
This could be the night
I’m gonna give her all my love and more
Wow, wow…
The epicenter of LA rock music royalty brought me here! Viva la Rodney!
Harry and Phil . genius
as I understand it, Spector didn't release this because he didn't feel absolutely convinced that it would be No.1. That's where his ego was at that time. For anyone interested in a lot of interesting information about Phil, read Breaking Down The Wall of Sound by Mick Brown. I still go back and re-read parts!
Over the years I've tried to wrap my mind around the genius of Spector.
David Maslow I believe this track, which was a precursor to The Beach Boys' "Wouldn't It Be Nice" in '66, would have definitely reached the number one spot on Billboard!!!
@@raulmacias1311 You can hear the outro of I just wasn't made for these times in this song as well
A tribute to the GOAT. Brian Douglas Wilson!
Nilsson later claimed that he was the sole writer of the song. Looking at Spektor's track record, I'm inclined to believe him.
A great record!
The late great Fast Eddie Hoh on drums.
Love this fabulous jam 🎸 ❤ 👌 I first discovered this delightful gem listening to Rodney on the Rocks 🥰 Does anyone remember Rodney on the Rocks 😁
Hot rods ; rock & roll(rodney on the rocks)
Alright !!
KROQ from the 80s. Rodney on the ROQ , Sunday nights.
Not sure how this slipped through the 'net' (in the sense that it was never a massive hit). One of the best songs of all time in my opinion.
'Cause Spector ditched it. The first official release of this song was ten years later, in some Philles compilation album.
Smile892011 Phillies international #7 uk release 1976 or 1975 I have the compilation it also has a great ronettes track everything under the sun! just fantastic tracks!!!!!!!
Smile892011
Incredible. I guess he just had so much good stuff on his hands at the time it seemed like nothing special to him.
Fibius Snottus check out a documentary I worked on called beautiful dreamer the story of smile youtube it came out 2005 my friend david leaf directed and wrote it, I think it was up for an emmy that year!!
Fibius Snottus Yup! He was concurrently working on "River Deep - Mountain High".
i feel like this inspired pretty much every Brian Wilson song from the early 80s to the mid 90s or so! the vocals also!
Great song...used to listen to this as a teenager
Clang bang bang bang this should be the anthem to change the world. Vibrates the soul.
The Theme Song of Rodney On The ROQ on 106.7 KROQ!
Found this through Tatsuro Yamashita
same! big wave is my favorite album of his
@@brainwavez9279 It's the same for me.:)
@@brainwavez9279 fuck yeah. Big Wave really does take you away.
me too
Same
KROQ. Rodney on the Rock. Edifying.
#roqofthe80s #rodneyontheroq 🎶❤️🎶
Rodney deserved his own station.
This Harry Nilsson composition, performed by "The Modern Folk Quartet", sounds very much like "Wouldn't It Be Nice" by The Beach Boys!!!
A Harry Nillson song
The best song about MAYBE going to get yer NAT King ever.
i would like to say, as so many others have, that my(now late) cousin phil spector should have released this one. it would have saved his label, and
at the same time catapulted to #1 in almost now time at all! I have also heard nilsson's version which is considerably longer.I saw the video of the
tnt show (11/65) years ago and it was a real rocker. The modern folk quartet still performs this number and henry diltz sounds has good as ever.
Its one of the best compositions that ever was and one the greatest hits that never was. Incidentally, my great grand mother was in fact,
phils great aunt-rest in peace harvey phillip spector, my mispucha! Skip J. King from the great state of New Jersey
Great man Phil Spector
What are your craziest Phil Spector stories? Or anything that's not widely known
TNT Show 65'
Theme song to the Pop/Rock documentary "The Big T.N.T. Show" which was filmed at the "Moulin Rouge" Club on Sunset Boulevard, Los Angeles, California on November 29,1965.
The choice was this or river deep mountain high for release I'd have chosen this
I love this Henry diltz on vocals
Better then river deep mountain high
LOL!!! This comes NOWHERE NEAR River Deep, Mountain High. Not even close. This is just a Pet Sounds ripoff. RDMH was a masterpiece.
All of these nights that we've been a dating
All of there nights that we've been awaiting
Something tells me that the time is getting right
Each time we kiss it takes a little bit longer
And my love for you gets a little bit stronger
And I feel like I'm-a-sittin' on dynamite
So this could be the night
The night I've waited for
This could be the night
I'm gonna give her all my love and more
When it comes to lovin' she's a natural master
And each night she's there well my heart beats faster
Deep down inside I know the best is yet to come
Oh oh gonna pick her up about a quarter to seven
I know were gonna take a little trip to heaven
And if it's love she wants then I'm gonna give her some
So this could be the night
The night I've waited for
This could be the night
I'm gonna give her all my love and more
So this could be the night
The night I've waited for
This could be the night
I'm gonna give her all my love and more
Awesome.
One word needed : Low-Fi.
💗
Shooter was here
I saw this as an intro theme to a pop spectacular c1965 ...?
Believe it or not I own a single sided white label test pressing of this song on 7".
Let me touch your seven inches, a little trip to heaven.
Does this exist on 45 anywhere?
To date, three Philles test pressings from October 1965 have surfaced. They are plain, white label styrene discs pressed at Monarch Record Mfg. in Los Angeles. Intended as a possible Philles single release, 'This Could Be The Night' as a 45 rpm record shamefully, never materialized. Here is a photo of one of the discs: www.45cat.com/record/nc525376us
i have it on a 33, it’s on a phil spector compilation on a phillies records, could be a knock off boot ’ it’s yellow cover with phil spector written in orange he’s taking off sunglasses on the cover ’ ‘ one of the absolute best pulls ever’ the whole record is gorgeous looks to me came out late 70’s early 80’s
@@brandonbreitkreuz1549 Yes, I have the same. First and only recording of it I've ever heard. When I brought that album home and heard this song I stopped the tone arm and repeated this dozens of times. Hell, maybe more than dozens. My neighbors probably thought I was nuts. Or maybe not.....
did this inspire John Lennon to write Intuition?...
That makes some sense. He was a fan of Spector and Harry Nilsson. I came here to see if I could hear that. But it seems it was a bigger influence on Brian Wilson.
The song was written as a tribute to Brian Wilson
I would say so.

River deep cost 26 thousand I don't think this cost half as much
Thanks for all the GOOD times PHIL! I wish you had retired into the High Sierras , Where the Scumbags / Leeches / And Prostitutes could have never found you.
Tatsuro Yamashita found this through me
I can understand why Spector drowned out the vocal track since the lead singer doesn't have a particularly strong voice
Be nice!
The lead singer was great Henry diltz
it might have been that it sounded too much like the beach boys that inhibited the song in the charts.
fake beach boys with a wall of sound-not Phil's best
?
Brian's version is better!
Amen. This was simply a failed Harry Nilsson song on a failed MFQ LP, a bomb that broke up the band.
Absolutely the best from Spector!!! One of my all time fave songs! 🎵🎶
