The tune is called “Manhattan anthem” and that sound is a great memory Friday evenings with another episode of one the most well done shows to ever appear on the small screen! James Garner was one class act!
Fabulous arrangement of this classic! Gives the theme a kind of grand, Aaron Copland-ish Western feel. Wouldn't it have been cool, though, if they'd mimicked the original's Minimoog patch with orchestral instruments? Like doubling the brass with piccolo, for example, to get that high whistling tone :-)
Very nice.I wish they could have found a guitar player to have some input,like the record.It would have made their performance complete.But still a great sound from the band!
@@kendallrivers1119 Kids ? Look again, most of the performers were adults, and I have a right to my own opinion ....The bass drum was too intrusive, the tune drifted in and out of key, and the instruments clashed.

You don't hear enough orchestras doing Rockford Files theme. Come on orchestras! Get you acts together.
You tell em!
I could listen to this again and again. Simply Wonderful and well done. Keep Smiling everyone.

I have watched this so many times, never get tired of it. What a fantastic orchestra
American TV themes should be part of the BBC proms. Rockford was one of the best.
No way! This is amazing! I saw the title and thought it was a joke It's a great tune who ever came up with it was brilliant!
Huge Rockford fan here. Thanks for doing it right!
My favourite show and theme tune, great job.
At age 61, still my favourite TV show of all time; I have the theme as ringtone on my mobile phone/cellphone
jimmy its angel the ochestras playing your song
This was awesome.
Awesome, Garner would be proud!
If they made a feature film this would have been an awesome way to end the movie.
The Mistro should have drove in a gold Camaro! One of the best TV shows ever!
Pontiac Firebird , still an upvote for you . . .
Idiot, I almost ruined my keyboard with coffee.
Kept the vibrancy of the original 👏👏
Loved that.although some sections of the orchestra are still trying to catch up with the brass section
I seem to remember that the conductor had to tell the brass section, in particular the trombones to stop running ahead on a few of the other peices 🤣
Damn that's great.
They sound awesome
Must have been a fun event!
This was a great arrangement and performance! Another good thing to see is "Styx - Fooling Yourself" with the CYO.
BRAVO!!!!!!
Nice performance...
Hello, this is Jim Rockford. At the tone, leave your name and message. I'll get back to you.
Awesome
I've never seen an orchestra with no strings. I don't get out much

Humorous beginning 0:31 and ending 4:05. 😄😄😄
Some of it sounded more like the 1st season version. That's OK with me.
I enjoyed that although some sections of the orchestra were rather fluid with their timing
I seem to remember that the conductor gave a few stares to the trombone section in hootenanny too for running away with themselves 🎺📯🤪
Should’ve played Jimmy’s answering machine message to preface the song; otherwise excellent.
2:06 Jasper would run on stage and play the harmonica
Ever heard of editing... chop off 1 minute 28 seconds of the beginning...gezzz.
Suuuuuuuwhiiiiiiiiiarmmyyyy

I wonde if James Garner liked his theme tune?!
To be honest, this is variation is ok, BUT, the original version does it for me every time!😊
All the right notes just not necessarily in the right order.
😆
Excellent version/arrangement from what looks like an amateur band?
....and sounds like it.
dogs dinner
Gawd that was painful to hear. Like they were playing under water.
dreadful
Oh dear, that was terrible.
Go get a life. Got nothing better to do then pick on folks? Smh troll.
