Streets of San Francisco | SWR Big Band

Still listening in 2024

[@justinsublett5880]

Badass as hell. One of the all-time coolest American TV theme songs by a mile.

[@johnreilly1491]

I'm English, never mind it being one of the coolest American, one of the coolest anywhere, ever🙂👍

[@culttelevision]

I wish anyone playing this theme would whack up the vintage cry baby pedal and play the wah as aggressively high and funky in the mix as in the tv recordings ! The brass section and drums here are bang on but the guitar should also be the star in this track. In the tv sessions it literally screams

[@studiobencivengamarcusbenc5272]

Exactly! Best comment

[@Orlando-nf9hl]

I still love the wah pedal work from the original (since I was a baby) - it is sooo cool man! ❤

[@culttelevision]

@@Orlando-nf9hl It's amazing. I was listening to the isolated track and i think what makes it stand is not only that it's so high in the mix but its its through a distortion pedal AND the vintage wah pedal . That's what gives it that aggressive edge.

[@fredbrezelberg4393]

So it is, man. I just clicked because of that waahwaahwaawouuooo! Not in this cheap copy, so disappointing!!!

[@culttelevision]

@@fredbrezelberg4393 The full version played by Pat Williams (the composer) and his band with Peter Tork from The Monkees doing the signature OG Wah piece is on here.

[@ceephaxx]

I envy that audience. No matter how good a recording can be, it can never match the way the air movement feels when you're standing in front of a top notch horn section like this (well, the whole band!)

[@urbanbader4113]

This band is close to perfection of the god's one original ain't

[@cessaly100]

Yep! I absolutely agree! That brass section is GIVING ME CHILLS RIGHT KNOW! Exquisite!

[@greydinimagicman]

In my 50's now as a 70'S Kid I knew even then at 12 this is special music

[@profpainter5841]

I always loved that show, it was the first cop show I ever saw as a kid, I think the opening music got me hooked, this is great BRAVO!!!

[@SWRBigBand]

Thanks!

[@blujazz10000]

WOW !!!! Just incredible. Thank you very much for uploading and sharing this performance! These cats nailed it. The brass is hair-raisingly good. 70s jazz-funk excellence! Thank you !!!

[@kulturfreund6631]

Ich habe mal Anfang der 90er mit einem Jazz-Bassisten zusammengewohnt, der später zum Studium an die Jazz-Hochschule in Hilversum ging. Ich fragte ihn einmal wieviele Musiker wohl an dem Stück beteiligt seien. Er sagte, dass es dafür etwa 15 Leute bräuchte. - Jetzt beim Durchzählen stelle ich fest wie richtig er mit dieser Größenordnung lag. - Klasse Kapelle. Knackiges Spiel. Danke fürs Hochladen.

[@rossydv]

I’ve recently rediscovered this gem, and absolutely LOVED this cover.

Fantastic band just adored

[@trommeltom175]

Saugeile Version! Gestern Nacht im Radio gehört, heute glatt mal auf KZbin gesucht. Und gefunden! =) Nur: Wer filmt denn da? Wenn das Schlagzeug soliert, dann sieht man den Orgler, der in dem Moment nix zu tun hat, spielt die Orgel, dann kann man beobachten, dass die Bläser Pause haben, setzen die Bläser wieder ein, wird weggeschwenkt.....!?$%&§

Great job 👍

[@SWRBigBand]

Thanks 👍

[@prokastinatore]

@@SWRBigBand This is one of the very few tv series of the great 1970th with sound called music. Pat Williams was a great composer and even for those who are not that much interested into crime stories the music itself is worth just to listen to and to enjoy the large sound of that fancy big band.

[@judithhammerl7311]

Ein geil die Musik

[@Suelar24]

Would love to hear Tower of Power take on this song, their horn section is as tight as it gets, just listen to "What is Hip" or "Squib Cakes" Studio or Live version. I never thought the TV show version of SOSF was as good as should have been back then. And to think when that show came on the air in '72, TOP was at their peak across the bay in Oakland.

[@thewipsportstalkfan3160]

Streets of San Francisco came out at a time when both television and society were in spite of counter culture quite still rather conservative. Quinn Martin couldn't do the hard gritty type of show that it couldve been. If it was a movie yes TV no. you had industry standards codes practices dos and donts that you dont have to deal with now. though yes, tame by today's standards, by universal standards TSOSF was quite revolutionary for it's time. it would be a decade before cop shows became fully multifaceted and another decade before the genre became closer to the gritty realism of cop life.

Sorry, but no. It´s exclusively written for SWR

[@theluxman66]

Not too bad ...aber keine Band bekommt die kurze Bläser-Passage wie im Original zwischen 0 : 31 und 0 : 36 und dann nochmal zwischen 1 : 36 und 1 : 41 hin. Ich habe auch keine Ahnung, wie Mancini den Sound an diesen Stellen arrangiert hat.

Fast‼️ ich liebe diese Serie eigentlich nur wegen dieser Titelmelodie. Nahezu 100% dargeboten von der fantastischen SWR Big Band. Die Sender leisten sich halt solche geilen Bands kaum noch. Plstikmusik ist billiger.,diese zahlenden Idioten merken eh nichts mehr...,

[@fredbrezelberg4393]

Haste die originale Titelmelodie jemals gehört? Diese billige Kopie hier hat damit aber mal gar nix zu tun 🤣🤣🤣🤣
