The Real West Intro (1992)

[@MalliTrAxxZz]

The Greatest Television Intro Ever Created.

[@hourlynewscaster]

This is a genuine work of art. It was created in a time when people had time to watch real television.

[@Rhomega]

Used to watch the first 10-20 minutes of this before going to school in 7th grade.

[@whitejrkevin99]

Same here. My dad would be up around the same time I was and he and I would watch it together for the whole hour before we went to school and work (respectively).

[@Odddball6]

Back when A&E had actual arts and entertainment.....Loved this program every Saturday....Thanks for this.

[@Jakeito413]

No problem. It is an amazing sequence.

[@etodd568]

Shows like this one made the History Channel worth sitting down and enjoying. The very first sentence now has deep meaning in..." ""In a past that is now lost forever""

[@robertodeleon-gonzalez9844]

It brings tears to my eyes.

[@ronberon9849]

Here's the quote..."The Real West Intro (1992) "In the past that is now lost forever there was a time when the land was sacred and the ancient ones were as one with it, a time when only the children of the Great Spirit were here to light their fires in these places with no boundaries. When the forest as thick as the fur on a winters bear When a warrior could walk from horizon to horizon on the back of the buffalo. When the desert was in bloom and the streams pure as freshly fallen snow. At the time when there were only simple ways I saw with my heart the conflicts that were to come... And whether it would be for good or bad What was certain... There would be change."

Do you know who that quote was from

I loved this show so much. I always loved this intro soooo much. I look it up ever now and then to hear it. Beautiful

[@jackw8170]

Saginaw Grant's opening narration is so peaceful and humbling of this great show. Coupled with Kenny Roger's narration throughout the show made this so epic. I miss this show and the time when it came on.

[@michaellane3017]

Loved this show! Back when The History Channel was actually good! Thank you for this! :)

[@Ford_Raptor_R_720hp_V8]

this began life on A&E

[@DaveLynchJazzGuitar]

Whoever wrote the theme music for the intro is a GENIUS!! ITS BEAUTIFUL !!

[@vatpr]

Christopher L. Stone wrote the theme music

[@JG-hr8rl]

So many memories of watching this with my father when I was kid. Now that he’s gone it’s nice to relive these fond moments. Thank you for sharing

[@kaitoelitex4901]

The man who owned this show was Kenny Rogers. Now everything is gone. Custer, Sitting Bull, Wild Bill, Buffalo Bill Cody, now Kenny Rogers. Rest In Peace Kenny Rogers.

[@Hercules1-v9m]

Used to watch this show before school when I was a kid. I miss this show.

[@EntitledMillennials]

Dude this just fcked me up in the deep part of my brain. Every morning before highschool this intro being burned deep into my subconscious

[@jonathanl.1801]

Same. EVERY MORNING. What a way to start the day. Kenny Rogers in a bolo tie.

[@OrbitFallenAngel]

I used to watch this as a kid!! I absolutely loved it!! Thank you for uploading it!! 💜

[@markleopard8960]

I used to watch it on Sat afternoons as a kid it really taught me to enjoy history

[@MrMaddox57]

LOVED THIS EPIC SHOW! The REAL history channel needs to come back!!!!!

[@keithcerniglia4989]

brings a tear to my eye every time

[@darinchesley864]

In the late 90s I used to stay over on Friday nights with my grandparents. My grandpa was an old cowboy and a WWII veteran. In 1998, diabetes took his left leg below the knee so dad got him DirecTV. More than a few times during the last couple years of his life on a Saturday morning I’d wake up to him watching this on The History Channel.

Those who remember how the days of old were lived and also realize things will change and try to prevent mistakes of the past not just to better today but to preserve the value of yesterday gain the present of the future

[@bobbycox2687]

This intro is a beautiful piece of art

[@bobbycox2687]

By the way, I highly recommend subscribing to the history vault!! I did a few months ago and they have all the original classic true history documentaries. I LOVE it! I think my peeps in here will, too.

[@whattowatchrightnow]

I loved this show. loved!

[@mesomemore97]

I used to get stoned & watch this series. Never missed an episode.

[@Jakeito413]

Hell yeah.

[@errk25]

Been looking for this.

[@HermitagePrepper]

The music and the narration was perfect

[@dpr821]

I've always wondered if this is an ACTUAL quote. Did some Native American like Sitting Bull or Geronimo actually say this? I would like to find out the author of this quote, or is it just a general statement, not voiced by any particular person? I adore this series and everything about it. Very informative, and very well written and presented. I learned a lot from this series, and others like it back when the History Channel did History, but, of course, that's history.

[@Jakeito413]

Best I could find back in the day was that it was likely composed for the show. I couldn't find any credit for it.

[@dpr821]

@@Jakeito413 Got you. That's what I thought. Thanks.

[@robertodeleon-gonzalez9844]

I miss this series. Not Ancient Aliens.

[@MrIdasam]

I was definitely born in the wrong century. I wish that I could have lived as an American Indian long ago.

[@ouroboros3141]

Anyone know if this series is available somewhere for streaming or buying? I used to watch this with my dad many years ago, couldn't have been more than 10 years old at the time. I miss the great movie and television era of the 90s, especially the frontier revival...

[@Jakeito413]

There are a few full episodes I've seen here and there on YT and Dailymotion. Not sure about any dedicated streaming anywhere. It started out on History Channel.

[@ouroboros3141]

@@Jakeito413 I'll have a look around👌

[@gronnigerb]

The History Vault has quite a few of them. I'm actually watching it now

[@dpr821]

I bought a few dvds on Amazon, there's about a dozen episodes of it. Other than that, I don't know.

[@nikovald]

Is this the tv special in which Kenny Rogers is the host/narrator? Regards.

[@Jakeito413]

Yes, it is.

[@nikovald]

@@Jakeito413 Thanks for your answer. Do you know any website where I can watch the full special?

[@Jakeito413]

@@nikovald It's episodic. There are quite a few here on KZbin. Just search "The Real West".

[@nikovald]

@@Jakeito413 Thanks again, I'll do it. I didn't knwo it was episodic.

[@chrisw1430]

Does anyone know to whom this quote is attributed? This intro..

[@Jakeito413]

I've never been able to figure out any source. It may have been arranged for the show itself. I love it, in any case.

[@OrbitFallenAngel]

Wasn't it quoted by Gerinimo? I think I read it somewhere...I'll try to find out!

[@dajosh42069]

@@OrbitFallenAngel Guessing you didn't find the source?

[@markleopard8960]

I've looked for it for years I found it once many years ago but I can't remember who said it

[@humpinhedgehog]

Who is saying it? Does anyone know who the orator was that actually spoke the words to the opener of the Real West?

[@Jakeito413]

Saginaw Grant.

[@BobShot80]

Sure sounds like Wes Studi. Been trying to find out?

[@mesomemore97]

I miss the History Channel. A pawn stars marathon on Memorial Day. Stupid crap channel nowadays.

[@Jakeito413]

Truly.
