It was 1985/86 and every friday night at 10pm we got this show. Pure 80's and the best of the 80's. Can't help but shed a tear when this starts to play purely for the need to go back to that time and relive the experience. Who else is feeling this?
I was born in 1985 in Poland so did not have same experience like you, but in 90s my mother bought casette with music from Miami Vice and watch this show. I could not then, but when i Discover this series... My god this is awesome.
Yeah bro I was born in the 2000’s but I gru up on 80s films and music from my mom and dad I first watched Miami vice when I was 5 and I just listened to the 1 one hour version of this to put me asleep I wish I could have expected the 80s best ere ever by far my friend says the same he was also brought up on 80s stuff like me
I worked for a BMW dealership in Miami in 1985. Miami Vice was the hottest thing at the time. When production would come by to borrow a car for filming an episode, we would always oblige. I was always welcome on location to watch them film. My dad loved the experience. I had the opportunity to meet the cast. I remember Michael Philip Thomas(Tubbs) being a true gentleman who always had time to speak with his fans. NEVER to big or busy. Don Johnson on the other hand.... Great memories. Great show. b
I lived in Miami in the 80s and I remember Miami Vice came on TV at 10 pm on Friday night. Everyone was glued to the TV to see what new part of town they were filming, it was so cool to watch a show filmed in your own city. I loved when they showed Sonny's boat with his pet alligator Elvis. LOL. Great times!
I lived in a Federal penitentiary in the '70s and I remember when the alumni graduated out and went on to star in the Cocaine Wars in the '80s!! I met some big names back then that went on to big things indeed!
I wish there was a way to go back there and never leave !! Precious Times almost makes my heart skip a beat and a tear come to my eye ! One word to explain those Times P E R F E C T !!
You know, one of the best things about being in my 50's now is that I lived my teenage years in the 80's..........Priceless and I wouldn't change them for the world
We're of the same generation. As a teenager in the 80s it felt like night and day from the "malaise" of the 70s. Everything seemed promising and new-- computers, fashion, music, movies... those were some good years.
I was younger, didn't see the show till much later, but that music stuck with me. Remember waking up in '87 early in the morning and hearing it from the living room where my mom was exercising while watching it from her Beta-Max VCR... Too young at the time to watch the show, but old enough to enjoy the music.
This very 30 mins clip helped me cross through tough times in my life, walking early morning to a library preparing for a new career after a colossal personal collapse . I am glad its over but still continue listening to this masterpiece.
Skating half-pipe in Cali, living the dream as a teenager in the 80's and dressing like Crockett!! Honored to meet and skate with some of the best...Tony Hawk, Lance Mountain, Steve Cabellero, Rob Roskop...list goes on. Good times but I don't think I would want to relive them. Life is more serious now, but also much more blessed.
Mike McGill, Rodney Mullen, Natas Kaupas...the entire bones brigade...Powell Peralta, Vision, Santa Cruz, Rat Bones, Independent...I could go on for days...what a time to be kid and be free!!
Am I the only only one who feels melancholic and a bit sad when listening to this? The melody is a bit heavy too. Its almost like a call from another dimension, telling that all things must past. I am from Germany and I wished for all Americans that they could go back in time. Those days were just great. And I loved Miami Vice, a picture with a heart and soul. May all beings be happy!
Yeah same feeling here, I'm from the Netherlands, never visited the US in the 80's but here in the Netherlands the 80's and 90's where much better compared to nowadays, and watching Miami vice, although it is a tv show, still gives you a pretty good impression of the times back then, the music, the clothes, the people.
Miami is the same way that you are saying regarding the song.... I had the oportunitty to go to miami in the late 90´s and still had the same felling just like I was wacthing the tv show miami vice, I felt higher than ever, I am lucky that I went to DEUCE BAR and I felt invencivle, I owned the town, after I enjoyed 10 years of my life there, I dont regrets nothing.- The time past by, but not for the city of MIAMI VICE PD: If you have a chance to go there, dont miss it.-
42 now, though it stands so clear. I WAS crockett in my own little boyish mind 😎🤣 Time /life goes by so quickly, but certain memories remain😊 this is one
This is not just a series... It's a statement that represents 80's era!!! The soundtrack makes me feel sad cause this great era won't come back...I was just a kid then but memories are so vivid...
Live everyday like it could be your last day on this earth... never leave anything undone, or leave anything for tomorrow... live life for today. Cherish every moment, every event, good or bad, for someday, there will be nothing left but the memories of your events as remembered by someone else...
I listen to this in my big 1989 Mercury on my way to work. Although I play it with a phone running through the tape deck. They never saw that coming...

Don Johnson was a trendsetter for men's fashion. He was the original shoes with no socks and pastels. I never missed an episode of Miami Vice and never missed the opportunity to watch this unbelievably handsome man.
Miami Vice aired in my freshman year at UF, watched it almost every Friday at 10pm with roommates and then we'd immediately hit the clubs to party. Now, 41 years later, I live in the Florida Keys and I can't go anywhere without the scenery evoking this tune in the back of my mind, especially at night. The show may be over, but the vibe lives on.
Ads 👎 in the middle of some of the most awesome music of the 80’s. I was in the Navy in San Diego in 85. This brings back memories and yes we wore those clothes when out on the town.
Eh, i disagree. The show is memorable but truth to be told, it had often very lame plots and stories. I mean... James Brown and the aliens ? How dumb was that ? From a narrative point of view, only the first season is consistent. After that it was unequal.
The Cold War; Nuclear threat; Berlin Wall; Chernobyl; AIDS; Iran-Iraq war; Salvadoran civil war; US invasions of Panama and Grenada; Tiananmen Square Massacre; South African apartheid; the troubles in Northern Ireland including the Brighton Hotel bombing, continuing violence and murder, plus false imprisonment of the Birmingham 6 and Guildford 4, plus hunger strikes etc; Iranian Embassy Siege; closure of mines in the UK and ensuing strikes; football hooliganism and disasters at Heysel, Bradford and Hillsborough; assassinations of Swedish PM Plame, Indian PM Indira Ghandi, Egyptian President Sadat, and assassination attempts of Reagan, Thatcher and Pope John Paul II, plus ex-Beatle John Lennon; On top of all that there was no internet and you wouldn't have been able to access decades of great music at the touch of a button for free; Nowadays is a piece of cake compared to the '80's!
I'm a manager of a football team in London and I've used this instead of a team talk before. Just get my lads in the changing room, turn the lights off & have them lying on bean bags all comfortable and then press play this fantastic 30 minute mix.
This music elicits such vivid memories. I can close my eyes and describe my teenage self, the clothes people wore and the smell of the fall air. The scenes in Miami Vice, the coolness of Crockett, and the depth of each episode will resonate whenever I hear this music.
The first I heard this tune it was being used for a banking advert in the late 80s early 90s on British TV (TSB I think). I didn't really watch Miami Vice although I knew of it. My Granny used to watch it usually while she was doing her hair with rollers and grips in preparation for another week's work after the weekend. But the tune was very evocative and I still search it out now. My half-brother told me it was "Crockett's theme". I reminisce of new beginnings and expanding horizons of exiting inner-city London and running away to Scotland where I met my son's mother. He's nearly 30 now! I appreciate this half hour repeated version when I'm lost in my thoughts walking at a brisk pace along the Union Canal in the evening's crisp cool air. I'm a one tune at a time man especially when it comes to this timeless atmospheric masterpiece.
I can still remember watching this show after being introduced to it by a good friend of mine called Kevin (such an 80s name). Crocket and Tubbs were the coolest duo of the 80s. The look, sound, dialogue and subject matter summed up the 1980s perfectly. Miami Vice was a hugely successful and influential TV show that would go on to be mimicked by other TV shows as well as films. Don Johnson was cooler than ice, and Philip Michael Thomas was hotter than the Miami sun. The two men played Sonny Crockett and Ricardo Tubbs, drug-enforcement officers in a bright and fashionable Miami. At the time Miami was a run-down town, plagued with drugs as well as other social and economic problems. It’s no secret that Miami Vice helped the area prosper to eventually become what it is today. The show was a watershed moment in TV much like how MTV changed music and music videos. Crocket and Tubbs took on hardened criminals and suffered for it. They showed the real side of policing, where the risk of being harmed or even killed was an occupational hazard. What really made the show for me, was their friendship. The loyalty and understanding they had for one another influenced me in a big way. When I think of great friendships, I think of Crocket and Tubbs, two men who couldn’t be more different, yet were prepared to die for each other. How many of us have a friendship like that? I can’t write about Miami Vice and not talk more about their pastel-shaded fashion, the stubble-faces, sock-free and carefree hairstyles. The look of Miami Vice is what made it stand out from other police shows. The pastel colours added warmth to their personalities and complemented the Miami sunshine. The colours popped out as did everything else in the show. The rough, unclean, dishevelled look was to Miami Vice what Clint Eastwood was to Fistful of Dollars. The grooming style reminded me of that 1960s Spaghetti Western look made popular by legendary as well as visionary film director Sergio Leone. I imagine Michael Man was influenced by Leone’s anti-hero characters. The Sonny Crocket look became very popular with guys. The light-coloured blazer, pastel T-shirt and shoes without socks became commonplace. I can still remember some of my older friends wearing this look. Oh, they didn’t wear sock because it was too hot! You’d need them in England! What a decade to have grown up in.
I can see that boat speeding across the water when I hear this, and the threads they wore they were pretty cool dudes.. There's no one like them on TV now..
ANTHONY, WELL SAID !!! WE AS HUMANS CAN HAVE OUR HEARTS DESIRE,,, WOMEN, CARS,CLOTHES,GOLD,SILVER, AND $$$$$,,, BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY [ NOT ENOUGH TIME ] TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE,,, ALL OF US ARE JUST VISITING HERE ON THIS BEAUTIFUL EARTH !!!!!!! LOVE TO YOU AND EVERYONE..... OXOXO
Awesome! ...year 1988 older brother in his 30's visiting back home Southamerica from New York..this music playing on the radio...time went by inspiration about the US got into the family now all siblings with families in the US...mother no longer with us but she was the force behind all of us ....songs recalls the best moments of our family thanks for sharing...
I still think that Caroline is one of the hottest ladies on the planet, and as a musician, I believe that had the band Puddle of Mudd been around back then, Jan would have gotten some great music out of them!
Love Miami Vice, the actors, the storylines, the MUSIC, the Daytona, the Testerossa, Elvis!🐊 and his sailboat, the speedboat, the clothes, Miami in all it's colorful glory! The Fun!!!
Hoy volví a escuchar por pura casualidad este tema desp de más de 30 años!!!!! Recuerdo que veia con mi viejo esta serie siendo un niño! Esperaba que llegara el dia para compartir con él esta serie...infinitos recuerdos destapados en un solo segundo!!
Say whatever you want, I definitely was alive during the 80s in some way, shape or form. The felling i get while listening to this song is just all to familliar to ignore. Combined with the picture of Crockett and Tubbs, i just get a "Deja Vu" fealing that doesn't go away at all. Damn I love the 80s.
Well the echoes of that era were still very strong in the 90s... we were watching a lot of 80s movies, music and general iconography... so the influence was very strong
@@LoneWolf-wp9dn True. Many of those 80's dramas were aired in India during the 1990s. I watched Streethawk and Knight riders around 1994-1996 on Indian television.
The best years for people having lived 80's. This generation DOES NOT get it..the music, the clubs, the clothes, oh yea, you cant take that away 》》 like they say " until you walk in our shoes ".. thank you for posting this song 👍😊🇨🇦
Same. I was born in the late 90's but I have a feeling of familiarity whenever I listen to 70's and 80's music. I feel some type of nostalgia, probably because my brothers were 80's kids and I grew up listening to their music, watching their favorite tv shows and music, etc.
Me too. Was at Clearwater in summer all the way from Texas. Thought I was transported back to the 80's. Also saw nightlife in downtown St. Petersburg in Florida. The attire swept me back. Wishing I still had my 80's wardrobe. Spent so much money on clothes back then...
Beautiful music! One of the best sountracks of ALL TIMES! IMO The terminator theme, and this. Listening to this late at night make me feeling SO GOOD! 80's rules!
The best instrumental theme I have ever heard. The series to on so many different common issues that were important for so many to reflect even understand even. The world is a very real place. Live or Die it's up to the individual to decide to enter or not. Commonly the series was a ongoing success. So many compelling storylines & musica & male/female actors that brought the viewers closer to the world of poverty & choices.
Very Cool !!! Just sold my 1991 Nissan 300ZX Twin Turbo, but loved driving in it during summer months and listening to Miami Vice music. Loved the 80's !!!@@gabriellen.2886
Still not afraid? I ask myself that question. Social media changed everything. Someday ill make some crappy blog or forum of some type to express it from my(our)generation s perspective.
Stephanie GarrihyStephanie Garrihy. Your last sounds a tad IRISH! I knew a garrity! I'm from Chicago so. So why weren't u allowed to watch Miami Vice? I used 2 watch POLICE WOMAN & just looking! at ANGIE DICKINSON! was SEX! I was about 9. 10.
Before Miami Vice, Producer and Sound Engineer Jan Hammer worked with Jeff Beck on many of his albums. He also worked with several rock legends, like Mick Jagger, Carlos Santana, Joni Mitchell, David Gilmore, Eric Clapton and many more. He has two Grammys from his work. I think he should have more than that, personally. I think he should get a lifetime achievement award for everything he has done.
Growing up as a kid in Miami this show was always so cool! Made us all want to grow up to be big shots or local celebrities and some of us did…at a price none of us expected. Be careful what you wish for.
80's is a slice of time so unique.We had the essentials and the classic .Real things like Nikon lenses and Sony Electronics.Then came the globalization and produced every thing cheap.
Written by Mr. (not Mrs.) Jan Hammer, an emigrant from Czechoslovakia, Eastern Europe. Back in Czechoslovakia, in the age of 17 years he wrote his first movie soundtrack. Right after that, he emigrated and few years later he wrote this.
@@robertciscoe9318 eh? If that is a witticism? You'll have to explain it to me, which kinda ruins the idea of a witticism, but you seem like an eager chap who is very pleased with himself for thinking up something so clever, so who am I to quell your enjoyment?!? How does commenting about the 80's have anything to do with a young man probably not even born at that time?! (you strike me as a man who knows more about him that you let on, so you'll have to fill me in on when he was born etc.)
@@davidlean1060 well. After that response, we know you are a Justin Bieber fan lol. Also I get the feeling that there is a LOT that" has to be explained to you".
Being from Miami, I really looked forward to shows like these and also the music during this time! Simply the best times of my life! I would gladly be in a Miami Vice 2!
Mam 41 lat. W Polsce był komunizm a jak tylko w telewizji pojawił się ten serial już po upadku to na dworze nie było dzieci w czasie emisji hahaha Do dziś najlepszy serial ever
Well appreciate it now...im 100% with you....i grew then...this programme influenced me big time...enjoy the memories and thank god we had that time....ti.e is not a thief...its just time...given to us to use as we will....ina way, we've recovered it by these memories....oh yeh, get a record player too!! Great to have one again...
la mejor serie de todos los tiempos Miami Vice era un niño pero lo entendia todo!! Mas de grande tuve mi gran deportivo cabriolet... no un Ferrari.. pero uno muy hermoso y lamento mucho no haber tenido esta pista para escuharla por las noches de Bs. As. y que fueron muchas!!!, en ese tiempo no se conseguia de forma tan facil esta informacion y la musica. me duele en el alma haber perdido esa oportunidad. recien ahora la descubri y me trajo tantos recuerdos.
This electronic masterpiece takes me back to a time that can only be captured & experienced anew via my memories, all those sweetly nostalgic recollections that give rise to such magically euphoric sensations, the type that resonate to the depths poetically, just what my soul needs, spirits emancipated, all those youthful passions reignited, the beauty, vibrancy & poignancy of those bygone days relived, more memories reawakened, flooding throughout, that's what this piece of music brings about, amazingly symbolic of the 80's at its most blissfully & divinely reflective, all the old magic bursting forth & oozing out in a smooth, soothing & uninhibited fashion, loving it, all that pure, primal rapture & calm, relaxing exhilaration, those beautifully transcendent times felt anew, awesomely nostalgic as it all is, thank God for the memories, along with this seamlessly melodic, powerfully meditative masterpiece, vintage 80's wonderfully exemplified! Bittersweet indeed, yet undying in its sheer power to rejuvenate & allow one to sink into this state of mesmerized tranquility, this music of dazzling, pulsing electronic exaltation!
Took a picture of your comments sir. I just want your beautiful poetry to sink into my soul. I will read this while listening to this beautiful song. To me, this is soothing...like a lullaby. Is there any one there that would like to try to put words to this master piece? Or am I being just plain, irreverently blasphemous?
@@taylorahern3755 I'm not being insulting or disrespectful? I tend to offend people a lot. Are you ok if I pass your words on to others? I took a picture of your comment so I can pass it in to people that I know will appreciate your eloquence.

It was 1985/86 and every friday night at 10pm we got this show. Pure 80's and the best of the 80's. Can't help but shed a tear when this starts to play purely for the need to go back to that time and relive the experience. Who else is feeling this?
hell ya, every day.
I was born in 1985 in Poland so did not have same experience like you, but in 90s my mother bought casette with music from Miami Vice and watch this show. I could not then, but when i Discover this series... My god this is awesome.

Great memories. Great show.

Don Johnson on the other hand was a great actor for the role.
Did one of the production guys just walk by and you just threw him the keys no question asked? "We got awesome to make!"
Your comments are like poetry. To me,this song is like a lullaby. Just beautiful. One of my favorite songs of all time.
awesome dude👌🏻

Agreed!
They wish they could 😁 but they would never come even close.🚬 😎🌴

Me too
We lived through it! Nothing can replace that :)
Me too
Makes sad because it was not funny...

What an iconic pose between Crockett and Tubbs. Damn! What an era!
if I only knew I would miss the 80’s this much I would have appreciated the era more, a lot more. Time is a thief.
Ain't that the truth!
Sure is
I wanted to live in the 20’s or 60’s. The 80’s were perfect.
totally agree man but man that rascal known as the 80's moved at light speed so I understand your point
Live everyday like it could be your last day on this earth... never leave anything undone, or leave anything for tomorrow... live life for today. Cherish every moment, every event, good or bad, for someday, there will be nothing left but the memories of your events as remembered by someone else...
I'm so happy that I grew up in the 80s and early 90s. We had such amazing music.
If we cant go back in time to the 80s..We can definitely take it with us forward..😎
I listen to this in my big 1989 Mercury on my way to work. Although I play it with a phone running through the tape deck. They never saw that coming...

One of the most amazing & intense shows ever. Made the adrenaline and senses peak! Long live Crockett and Tubbs! 👍😎💯💪
Wow
How sad but true
It was the best
Don Johnson was a trendsetter for men's fashion. He was the original shoes with no socks and pastels. I never missed an episode of Miami Vice and never missed the opportunity to watch this unbelievably handsome man.
I need to purchase it. I've never seen it. He IS handsome. He's a stud.
He once said in an interview he never wore socks because it was so damn hot in Miami 😅 Everyone thought it was a fashion trend! The coolness of Don….
Miami Vice aired in my freshman year at UF, watched it almost every Friday at 10pm with roommates and then we'd immediately hit the clubs to party. Now, 41 years later, I live in the Florida Keys and I can't go anywhere without the scenery evoking this tune in the back of my mind, especially at night. The show may be over, but the vibe lives on.
Ads 👎 in the middle of some of the most awesome music of the 80’s. I was in the Navy in San Diego in 85. This brings back memories and yes we wore those clothes when out on the town.
I always play this extended version when I'm in my Vette cruising the mountain roads. Complete coolness and relaxation.
I drive a Genesis now 😂...but I can truly relate (I play the extended version, on my way to work, in the Genesis)😅
I remember when I was a teenager in the 80s. And this song played?!!! MAAAAAN lemme tell you what. Great times in the 80s.
Miami Vice.The best show ever,and the '80s.Absolutely brilliant!Miss them...
Eh, i disagree. The show is memorable but truth to be told, it had often very lame plots and stories. I mean... James Brown and the aliens ? How dumb was that ?
From a narrative point of view, only the first season is consistent. After that it was unequal.
@@mariamartins367 BUT THE MUSIC !!! Guess it has NeVeR disappointed you.....at least.
I wish we could go back in time. Life was fun in the 80's, now it's too serious. Great times and sounds like this
The Cold War; Nuclear threat; Berlin Wall; Chernobyl; AIDS; Iran-Iraq war; Salvadoran civil war; US invasions of Panama and Grenada; Tiananmen Square Massacre; South African apartheid; the troubles in Northern Ireland including the Brighton Hotel bombing, continuing violence and murder, plus false imprisonment of the Birmingham 6 and Guildford 4, plus hunger strikes etc; Iranian Embassy Siege; closure of mines in the UK and ensuing strikes; football hooliganism and disasters at Heysel, Bradford and Hillsborough; assassinations of Swedish PM Plame, Indian PM Indira Ghandi, Egyptian President Sadat, and assassination attempts of Reagan, Thatcher and Pope John Paul II, plus ex-Beatle John Lennon; On top of all that there was no internet and you wouldn't have been able to access decades of great music at the touch of a button for free; Nowadays is a piece of cake compared to the '80's!
You're not wrong,I miss the 80's,good times!
Yeah i wanna go back so bad
Let alone all the political correctness b.s. nowadays... uhhh!
Ray Tony couldn’t have put it better myself
I'm a manager of a football team in London and I've used this instead of a team talk before. Just get my lads in the changing room, turn the lights off & have them lying on bean bags all comfortable and then press play this fantastic 30 minute mix.
Who is listening and ... dreaming in 2024??
Me !!!!
Crockett is
😂
Ich auch ❤
I listen to this when I have my clients in car. Very calming and cool sound. I miss this show
This music elicits such vivid memories. I can close my eyes and describe my teenage self, the clothes people wore and the smell of the fall air. The scenes in Miami Vice, the coolness of Crockett, and the depth of each episode will resonate whenever I hear this music.
Thank you Jan Hammer for such great music which truly defined Miami Vice.
Proud to be one of the 80s
Definitely agree with you ❤
Hard to believe that Sonny Crockett is now 70 years old, wow!
yeah hard to believe, but have you see how he looks, he still looks badass. They don't make em like that anymore, thats for sure.
and his partner is dead.
The first I heard this tune it was being used for a banking advert in the late 80s early 90s on British TV (TSB I think). I didn't really watch Miami Vice although I knew of it. My Granny used to watch it usually while she was doing her hair with rollers and grips in preparation for another week's work after the weekend. But the tune was very evocative and I still search it out now. My half-brother told me it was "Crockett's theme". I reminisce of new beginnings and expanding horizons of exiting inner-city London and running away to Scotland where I met my son's mother. He's nearly 30 now! I appreciate this half hour repeated version when I'm lost in my thoughts walking at a brisk pace along the Union Canal in the evening's crisp cool air. I'm a one tune at a time man especially when it comes to this timeless atmospheric masterpiece.
I can still remember watching this show after being introduced to it by a good friend of mine called Kevin (such an 80s name). Crocket and Tubbs were the coolest duo of the 80s. The look, sound, dialogue and subject matter summed up the 1980s perfectly. Miami Vice was a hugely successful and influential TV show that would go on to be mimicked by other TV shows as well as films. Don Johnson was cooler than ice, and Philip Michael Thomas was hotter than the Miami sun. The two men played Sonny Crockett and Ricardo Tubbs, drug-enforcement officers in a bright and fashionable Miami. At the time Miami was a run-down town, plagued with drugs as well as other social and economic problems. It’s no secret that Miami Vice helped the area prosper to eventually become what it is today.
The show was a watershed moment in TV much like how MTV changed music and music videos. Crocket and Tubbs took on hardened criminals and suffered for it. They showed the real side of policing, where the risk of being harmed or even killed was an occupational hazard. What really made the show for me, was their friendship. The loyalty and understanding they had for one another influenced me in a big way. When I think of great friendships, I think of Crocket and Tubbs, two men who couldn’t be more different, yet were prepared to die for each other. How many of us have a friendship like that?
I can’t write about Miami Vice and not talk more about their pastel-shaded fashion, the stubble-faces, sock-free and carefree hairstyles. The look of Miami Vice is what made it stand out from other police shows. The pastel colours added warmth to their personalities and complemented the Miami sunshine. The colours popped out as did everything else in the show. The rough, unclean, dishevelled look was to Miami Vice what Clint Eastwood was to Fistful of Dollars. The grooming style reminded me of that 1960s Spaghetti Western look made popular by legendary as well as visionary film director Sergio Leone. I imagine Michael Man was influenced by Leone’s anti-hero characters. The Sonny Crocket look became very popular with guys. The light-coloured blazer, pastel T-shirt and shoes without socks became commonplace. I can still remember some of my older friends wearing this look. Oh, they didn’t wear sock because it was too hot! You’d need them in England!
What a decade to have grown up in.
Well said
@@robbpowell194 Thank you! 😎
I really miss 80's
A lot of emotions come out seeing and hearing the music, I was in high school when this was the hit show.
I can see that boat speeding across the water when I hear this, and the threads they wore they were pretty cool dudes.. There's no one like them on TV now..
ANTHONY, WELL SAID !!! WE AS HUMANS CAN HAVE OUR HEARTS DESIRE,,, WOMEN, CARS,CLOTHES,GOLD,SILVER, AND $$$$$,,, BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY [ NOT ENOUGH TIME ] TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE,,, ALL OF US ARE JUST VISITING HERE ON THIS BEAUTIFUL EARTH !!!!!!! LOVE TO YOU AND EVERYONE..... OXOXO
Never to be again, never forgotten.

Be happy you saw and experienced the peak of civilization! Good luck to the kids born today, the lost souls.... lol
80's were magic and had style...
the 80s in terms of movies and television series were just the best
Amen, bro.

80's Decade, the best time in Human history and in the Galaxy, it won't come back !!.
It will return, no worries. First signs already here.
Music is the only time machine we have.
Perfectly said.
I wouldn't be too sure about that. Just ask Matt Groening. 😁
I was born in 1956, and I STILL watch reruns daily!!!
Thanks for watching
@@sonnycrockett_92 How can I not, King of Cool?
I still watch the first episode almost daily, and can recite the lines. "What's wrong, Sonny?"
I still think that Caroline is one of the hottest ladies on the planet, and as a musician, I believe that had the band Puddle of Mudd been around back then, Jan would have gotten some great music out of them!
This is my story...I grew up in this era, this was to die for..we had it so good! MV every Friday night...
... and when Jackson did that MOONWALK and everyone flipped their shit; when you had to tape it or you missed out!
Jan knocked it out of the park with Crockett’s Theme 😎👍 The song has become the ultimate definition of the era
I miss the 80s wish I could go back for if only an hour!!!
Love Miami Vice, the actors, the storylines, the MUSIC, the Daytona, the Testerossa, Elvis!🐊 and his sailboat, the speedboat, the clothes, Miami in all it's colorful glory! The Fun!!!
You do know that a lot of it was filmed in LA?
This song is an adventure.
Yes, love this. The music is phenomenal. I get tears in my eyes everytime I hear this!
Amo esta serie, su música, su forma de vida, soy del 68 y vivi tan inmensamente esa época que no podre olvidarla jamás.
me pasa lo mismo, yo soy del 65 y esto epoca fue la mejor de mi vida!!
MIAMI VICE the best show on tv 80s.........and now in 2024 nothing is better ####MIAMI VICE FIREVER####
Hoy volví a escuchar por pura casualidad este tema desp de más de 30 años!!!!!
Recuerdo que veia con mi viejo esta serie siendo un niño! Esperaba que llegara el dia para compartir con él esta serie...infinitos recuerdos destapados en un solo segundo!!
Say whatever you want, I definitely was alive during the 80s in some way, shape or form. The felling i get while listening to this song is just all to familliar to ignore. Combined with the picture of Crockett and Tubbs, i just get a "Deja Vu" fealing that doesn't go away at all. Damn I love the 80s.
Well the echoes of that era were still very strong in the 90s... we were watching a lot of 80s movies, music and general iconography... so the influence was very strong
@@LoneWolf-wp9dn True. Many of those 80's dramas were aired in India during the 1990s. I watched Streethawk and Knight riders around 1994-1996 on Indian television.
The best years for people having lived 80's. This generation DOES NOT get it..the music, the clubs, the clothes, oh yea, you cant take that away 》》 like they say " until you walk in our shoes ".. thank you for posting this song 👍😊🇨🇦
Same. I was born in the late 90's but I have a feeling of familiarity whenever I listen to 70's and 80's music. I feel some type of nostalgia, probably because my brothers were 80's kids and I grew up listening to their music, watching their favorite tv shows and music, etc.
We were more free.
Im happy to say ive driven in miami playing this out loud along the strip at night... and i loved every moment of it.
Well done my man ! JB
Sounds Awesome!
You are a legend
Damn, been to Miami a few times but have never done this. Next time im renting a vehicle 😂
@@marcoulloa4572 just 1 of them things i had to do. I went through most the miami vice and other 80s tracks.
I was down in Florida clearwater beach in July I have to tell you people were bumping 80s music the atmosphere felt very 80's and it's almost 2020
Me too. Was at Clearwater in summer all the way from Texas. Thought I was transported back to the 80's. Also saw nightlife in downtown St. Petersburg in Florida. The attire swept me back. Wishing I still had my 80's wardrobe. Spent so much money on clothes back then...
So there is a place on this planet that 80's still exist ? How far is it from Greece?
@@jandres1933 ok
Beautiful music! One of the best sountracks of ALL TIMES! IMO The terminator theme, and this. Listening to this late at night make me feeling SO GOOD! 80's rules!
OMG I went from the Terminator theme to this too! Nice one brah :)
Im back honny 😄
Even here in Ireland we loved Miami Vice.the eightys were the best and the west is the best by far..
Well said. But in Spain we say in the oldy song 'to be happy you must go south lala'.... Unfortunately this song never got far from the bounderies.😁
マイアミバイスの中で一番のお気に入りのナンバーでしたね〜今聴いても素晴らしい
A simple show that gave us a break from boredom....
Who can ever forget Phil Collins "In The Air Tonight" from the "Pilot" A modern "Masterpiece"
Can't stand Fill-up Colons. Him and his voice his drumming and arrogance.
I was 20, remember listening to this theme at night driving my car with the air on my face
The best instrumental theme I have ever heard. The series to on so many different common issues that were important for so many to reflect even understand even. The world is a very real place. Live or Die it's up to the individual to decide to enter or not. Commonly the series was a ongoing success. So many compelling storylines & musica & male/female actors that brought the viewers closer to the world of poverty & choices.
Miami Vice still going to be the most greatest cop drama show up that decade it had a attitude charisma and the whole Miami scene was spectacular
Miami Vice still going to be the most greatest drama.
2019 Miami Vice is still hot!!!
always will be

Great music to DRIVE to !!! Makes me want to get into my sports car at night and cruise the city streets !
I did, in fact, do that back in the day. Trans-Am, with the t-tops out, night drivin' to this, Phil Collins, and more ethereal 80s classics....
Very Cool !!! Just sold my 1991 Nissan 300ZX Twin Turbo, but loved driving in it during summer months and listening to Miami Vice music. Loved the 80's !!!@@gabriellen.2886
Thanks for the FabulouS idea .. Long Street here we come 💚
I’m gonna do it in my GTR
Doing that right now in my Dodge Challenger
Back then I used to dress like sonny! I had a Miami classic holster s&w 5906 and two extra mags under right arm. Those were the days.
I have this on repeat. cant get anything more relaxing and great memories at the same time
Melodías prodigiosas que nos trasladan a aquella maravillosa época, en la que eramos felices, y lo ignorábamos¡¡¡¡¡¡
When i hear this, it is like dejavu to the times when we were afraid of nothing.
To the times you ignored everything.

Still not afraid? I ask myself that question. Social media changed everything. Someday ill make some crappy blog or forum of some type to express it from my(our)generation s perspective.
I'm 48 and remember not being allowed to watch it when it was on😆..Best theme song ever,can't get enough of it❤️❤️

Cerrar los ojos,sólo escuchar...y volver a los 80 ,increíble añorar esos años felices
Todo en perfecta armonía,a esa edad

Before Miami Vice, Producer and Sound Engineer Jan Hammer worked with Jeff Beck on many of his albums.
He also worked with several rock legends, like Mick Jagger, Carlos Santana, Joni Mitchell, David Gilmore, Eric Clapton and many more. He has two Grammys from his work. I think he should have more than that, personally.
I think he should get a lifetime achievement award for everything he has done.
I could listen to this all day long....
I usually do, trying to listen to all the superb versions out there, what a way to spend time!
Me too...great soundtrack!
Yeah I've just stumbled across this. Brilliant no rewind 😁
Growing up as a kid in Miami this show was always so cool! Made us all want to grow up to be big shots or local celebrities and some of us did…at a price none of us expected. Be careful what you wish for.
80's is a slice of time so unique.We had the essentials and the classic .Real things like Nikon lenses and Sony Electronics.Then came the globalization and produced every thing cheap.
This is the main theme of the whole eighties! So damn good.
Written by Mr. (not Mrs.) Jan Hammer, an emigrant from Czechoslovakia, Eastern Europe. Back in Czechoslovakia, in the age of 17 years he wrote his first movie soundtrack. Right after that, he emigrated and few years later he wrote this.
You can Look to Hollywood the best Actors came before second Generation from Europe and Easteurope.
Thank goodness for people like Jan Hammer. For making our lives that little bit happier, especially with this track. May his talent never fade away!
Muy bueno para escuchar siempre está música nunca pasará.!!

As. y que fueron muchas!!!, en ese tiempo no se conseguia de forma tan facil esta informacion y la musica. me duele en el alma haber perdido esa oportunidad. recien ahora la descubri y me trajo tantos recuerdos.
I remember this tv show along with Magnum, Hunter, Hardcastle& McCormick, Sledge Hammer, Airwolf, Knight Rider amongst other tv shoes from the 80’s.
Don Johnson and Philip Michael Thomas made history with this series
This electronic masterpiece takes me back to a time that can only be captured & experienced anew via my memories,
all those sweetly nostalgic recollections that give rise to such magically euphoric sensations, the type that resonate to the depths poetically, just what my soul needs, spirits emancipated, all those youthful passions reignited, the beauty, vibrancy & poignancy of those bygone days relived, more memories reawakened, flooding throughout, that's what this piece of music brings about, amazingly symbolic of the 80's at its most blissfully & divinely reflective, all the old magic bursting forth & oozing out in a smooth, soothing & uninhibited fashion, loving it, all that pure, primal rapture & calm, relaxing exhilaration, those beautifully transcendent times felt anew, awesomely nostalgic as it all is, thank God for the memories, along with this seamlessly melodic, powerfully meditative masterpiece, vintage 80's wonderfully exemplified!
Bittersweet indeed, yet undying in its sheer power to rejuvenate & allow one to sink into this state of mesmerized tranquility, this music of dazzling, pulsing electronic exaltation!
