Thunderbirds for Concert Band

[@davidjmccann4187]

If the UK ever considers changing its national anthem, this has to be in with a shout, This or the Dambusters March

[@evanhill110]

I think that 633 Squadron should also be strongly considered

[@twold4this]

Brilliant!

[@okedoke1234]

David how about the Space 1999 theme?

[@buickmclean8163]

@@evanhill110 Could not agree more

[@spitfiremark1a768]

Or the theme from Battle of Britain?

[@michaelchurchill6395]

Barry Gray was such magnificent composer. A dynamic melody for a dynamic show.

[@richardhart9204]

Most small bands tend to completely screw the Thunderbirds score completely up. This band, however, have done an excellent job.

[@tylerzorn6152]

My GOD, I get goose bumps listening to this, at 60 yrs old this is THE ABSOLUTE BEST !!! This will NEVER be beaten!!!! Number 1 forever !!!! It can't be beat ......ever.!!!

[@RockChickFace]

I put this on and all the trees in the road tilted over at 45 degrees.Weird!!!

[@howardbeatman2820]

Type "Thunderbirds Travelcare" into the youtube search bar to see a great commercial themed to the show.

[@Dragonblaster1]

That was actually a kludge. When animating the first Thunderbird 2 launch, they found the wingspan of the model was too wide, and it clipped the trees. Result: they fitted the model tree stumps to holes in two broomsticks. Result: magic.

[@eastwestcoastkid]

Ian that was brilliant!!

[@Garbageguitarist]

I live on a island and my swimming pool opened and a giant rocket zoomed out and I was on my balcony and the palm trees tilted then a giant green plane comes out and launched then I was in my roundhouse then a rocket with three engines and is red launched as well something is wrong with my island

Thought it was only me who cried at this!

[@FishplateFilms]

As someone who grew up with the Thunderbirds, watched every episode dozens of times, has the whole series on DVD and saw the movie at the theatre back in the 80's....I have to say this is the best rendition Iv;e heard apart from the original! This takes me back 40 yrs to my childhood , watching the Tracey boys do their thing! A fantastic effort by all and a tribute to Mr Anderson. ....FAB. Gregg.

[@FlankerTanker]

Brought a tear of joy to this old mans eyes...thank you... well performed

[@FishplateFilms]

I agree!

[@stanmo4331]

How much fun is this to listen to again!? These were such great themes from younger years.

[@iann3785]

One of the best themes of all time.

[@chrisst8922]

Gerry Anderson recounts his experience hearing Thunderbirds March for the first time on page 123 of the authorised biography 'What Made Thunderbirds Go': 'I watched from the monitor room with sound engineer Eric Tomlinson, I'll never forget the incredible feeling I got when Barry conducted the first take. It sent shivers down my spine - I knew straight away that it was something special.' Gerry recounts that the orchestra was larger than normal and that because of the hot environment at Anvil Studios near Denham this time as before Barry Gray would put down his baton, remove his shirt and carry on in his vest. Gray commanded huge respect from his musicians.

[@Inmyopinion10101]

Absolutely fantastic. Great performance from all involved. Makes me emotional. Thank you

[@koshnaranek9985]

Thankyou Alfie for taking over 50 years off my age. The only surprise is the actual make up of the band, I was expecting just a strings section.

[@andreafry3428]

They are a fantastic band ! Has anyone else seen a military band march past playing this ? It makes you stand really proud ! 🙂You can't beat Gerry Anderson theme tunes

[@notreallydavid]

Ever see this Andrea? It's great. kzbin.info/www/bejne/g2evlneuocacnZI All best

[@ThStg]

This is just one of a very few tunes that will go on for many, many, many years to come to be ICONIC!!!!

[@nigeldonaldson1647]

Hats off to you all, you honour the great thunderbirds tv show of the 60s love this to pieces, every bit as good as any military marching band, & the only version as good as the actual tv theme itself thanks

[@sficlassic]

Oh my gosh. Still remembered. I have the box set and still watch it from time to time. Another one Fireball XL-5

[@arturotrevino132]

masterly...!!! possibly the best TV theme in history

[@Morcaiden]

it has a bit of a Spanish paso doble beat to it halfway through - very nice!

and the Avengers theme.

[@garyl5128]

UFO is pretty good too.

COngratulations i just wanna say PERFECT !!!!!!! BRAVO BRAVISSIMO !!!!!

[@hartyharty123]

fantastic rendition

[@sergiocampanale3882]

An excellent cover, as already stated by others. Also, props for including the dramatic 'coming up in this episode' teaser before the credits, an integral part of the viewing experience that no other versions include. It is like the 'scream out' ending of every episode of Doctor Who, an essential that only ever appeared on the KLF/Timelord's 'Doctoring the House' (1988) ... Without it, it's just not the same!

[@trentaccid2177]

CONGRADULATIONS THIS SOUNDED FANTASTIC. THE OWNER OF THE THUNDERBIRDS IS UP IN HEAVEN CLAPPING ALONG WITH THE REST OF US.

[@malcolmdovey8532]

This is the best version ever. Absolutely fantastic. Well done by all. It takes a lot of practice to get to this extreme level of accurate 'Barry Grey' original production sound without a studio.

マイクの性能がよいのか、収録している位置がよいのか、とてもよい感じに仕上がっている。演奏は、ドラマの雰囲気をしっかり再現していると思う。 Whether the performance of the microphone is good or the recording position is good, it is finished with a very good feeling. I think that the performance perfectly reproduces the atmosphere of the drama.

I agree with José Perdigão in that Alfie Pugh did one of the best versions, if not the best, of possibly the best musical TV theme of all time. So am I suggesting that the theme of The Thunderbirds was better than Star Trek? Yes, I am.
