Miami Vice, Literally a series that was ahead of it's time. What an era. The nostalgia is real man. Been re-watching the entire series these past months, and what a time. Don't think any show can come close too it these days. Sad that the era, is long past. Iconic storyline, themes, instrumentals, characters and so much more. Truly, legendary. Amazing to see how much of an impact it had, and all these characters. Honestly my favorite, Phil Collins, a man that truly deserved to be here, and my icon for his work, and talent.
@@freedomring3022 actually, I got the cast list. The blonde is Kyra Sedgewick. I would have mentioned them both if I were the maker but the credit is right, she is the unknown. Collins is a superstar with much more than rock music to his credit even back then! I think he knew that everybody knows him! Kyra, however, is almost unrecognizable!
@@mikeatIUSB Thank you Michael, I just looked him up on Wikipedia and saw when he came into the group, which was after their first two big hits 'Some Like it Hot' and 'Get It On' and was therefore unaware Robert Palmer had been replaced
Phil Collins was a really good match for his episode. He nailed the sleazy British con persona to a t. Rarely have I wanted a MV villain to actually get away.
I like how Frank Zappa not only delivers a long speech, but also manages to slip in something about ''the business of WEASEL dust''. That's code language for we FZ fans 😎😎😎
Miami Vice was a great platform for once relatively unknown actors and actresses, up and coming actors and actresses and well known musicians and actors. What an amazing series! #MiamiViceforever #80sforever 🌴🌴🌴🌴🌊🌊🌊🌊
Of the Rock and Pop stars that appeared on MV, I quite liked Glenn Frey in Season 1 "Smugglers Blues." Phil Collins "Phil the Shill." In Season 2 aswell as Frank Zappa also Season 2 "Payback." and Willie Nelson in Season 3.
It's amazing this show has only 5 seasons. Only police series like Law and Order, NYPD Blue lasted over a decade. These musicians obviously knew this was awesome.
SHEENA EASTON should have been in a one-shot episode. I never brought the soap opera storyline of an undercover VICE cop married to a semi-famous popstar. A D.A. yes.
There were a few surprises in there for me. And I’ve seen that series from beginning to end several times. Like Barbra Streisand and Miles Davis. I love that show. It was very much a product of its time. But still quite enjoyable to watch even so many years later. Thank you for posting the video. I have to say I enjoy that video immensely
See actors before they were famous video. He was not a 'Rock' star. When I posted earlier I should have made the comment that this should really by Music Stars as Miles Davis was a Jazz musician and Willie Nelson is a Country musician neither technically a rock star
And the 80s loved him….he basically couldnt put a foot wrong the whole decade. Just a pity as his 80s overexposure then led to a ton of hate/backlash he didnt deserve imo.
02:44 - I'm sorry? Maybe all this time I've been a fan of the wrong Genesis? Was it Kyra Sedgwick that took over when Peter Gabriel left? I'm confused now... 🤔😏🤣🤣😎🇬🇧
I never missed this show, and except for Kyra Sedgwick playing Phil Collins and Glen Frey, I don't remember any of these musicians being on it. Frank Zappa? Uncle Ted? I need to start on one of those memory boosters, I guess.
Awesome flashback...Issac Hayes...Phil Collins..Miles Davis..Glen Fry...Sheena Easton...Frank Zappa...etc...thanks. Doubt todays music stars could pull this off in say a CSI show as guest stars..
Ted Nugent took a page from the Matthew McConnaughey school of acting , he was like " I think it would really help this scene if I took my shirt off .... and smothered myself in baby oil "
Superb most of these Rock Stars can certainly Act.Don the main star of Miami Vice could be class a Rock Star with his brilliant song of Heartbeat.Jan does the Theme Song so no surprises hes in there like Directors do.We had 2channels to perfection and Miami Vice was on didn't watch it i was having to much fun and time as a kid miss it so much.Class of 85-89 thats me
Several sub-plots carry over between multiple episodes, such as Crockett's divorce from his wife Caroline, his relationship with Gina, Switek and Zito's stolen goods sting operation, and OCB's investigation into Al Lombard. While every season of Miami Vice would feature episodes that continue the story of an earlier one, the first season is unique in that these ongoing plot lines are frequently mere side stories, and are often mentioned in passing in otherwise unrelated episodes.
This just was wrong, when Crockett put Isaac Hayes' haid through a pinball machine. I was hearing his thoughts: "Man - I've been in Showbiz a long-time... Not even Rockford did that to me..."
How did Kyra Sedgewick NOT win an Emmy for her portrayal of Phil Collins?
ja !
👍👍👍👍😂😂😂😂👏🏅🏆
These things are all political, man.
Lmao!
Can u imagine?
Everybody who was somebody in the mid 1980s wanted to be in "Miami Vice". It was one of the coolest shows in TV history.
Chris Rock had a small role on the show.
It still is.
lol Don Johnson launching Isaac Hayes head first into the pinball machine is legendary...
How dare he do that to "the Duke".
Sonny taking out Shaft like that was hard to watch...
Shaft turned bad. He got what he deserved.

For real
Lemmy from Motorhead would've been perfect as an Arms Dealer.
Kyra Sedgewick did a great job as Phil Collins
No she did a great job as Sarah MacPhail. The credit is correct.
@@nancyholcombe8030 no. Go watch the video again. You are wrong.
@@freedomring3022 actually, I got the cast list. The blonde is Kyra Sedgewick. I would have mentioned them both if I were the maker but the credit is right, she is the unknown.

@@freedomring3022 oh, I should mention that it's on her list of tv credits too!
(2:41) Kyra what ? that man is very famous and does not deserve such disrespect.
The one rock star Miami Vice never got who epitomizes the 80s and would have made a great villain on the show: Robert Palmer.
He would have been perfect as some crooked banker or financier.
Robert Palmer was the singer n The Power Station, I don't know who the singer in the clip was though, unless it was actually Andy Taylor
@@andyaccount it was Michael Des Barre
@@mikeatIUSB Thank you Michael, I just looked him up on Wikipedia and saw when he came into the group, which was after their first two big hits 'Some Like it Hot' and 'Get It On' and was therefore unaware Robert Palmer had been replaced
AMEN!!!!
The most amazing appearance by far is Miles Davis. That's rare man.
thats so cool ,Joe
Yes, so cool to see him in that appearance and he seemed to have good acting chops too.
I would argue that the most amazing appearance is by Barbra. She doesn't do cameo's, let alone for a tv show.
@@anthonyb1752 Argue that if you want. Barbra has 46 dramatic screen acting credits to her name. Miles has 4.
He is/was a rare man
Phil Collins was a really good match for his episode. He nailed the sleazy British con persona to a t. Rarely have I wanted a MV villain to actually get away.
The best 80s aesthetic show ever
Probably because it was actually filmed in the 80's………….
@@Bale4Bond yup. That’s why it’s the best
Gene Simmons was always a good villain. He had the look and attitude down pat
The episode w/ the nuge was always one of my favorites.
I like how Frank Zappa not only delivers a long speech, but also manages to slip in something about ''the business of WEASEL dust''. That's code language for we FZ fans 😎😎😎
Leonard Cohen speaking french dressed in black ! omg ..i love him
Miami Vice was a great platform for once relatively unknown actors and actresses, up and coming actors and actresses and well known musicians and actors. What an amazing series! #MiamiViceforever #80sforever 🌴🌴🌴🌴🌊🌊🌊🌊
They also had a ton of Broadway people.
I lived there then
Kind of like Love Boat and Fantasy Island etc etc and many other shows of all genres all over Our World 🌎🌍
Thanks, blast from the past. Like it was only yesterday
Ted Nugent in "Definitely Miami" was such an iconic episode.
Classic Neon noir episode.
Definitely 🤣
One of my favorite
Ted and Arielle Dombasle in the same episode. One of Ted's songs was also on the soundtrack for the episode.
Ted stole the episode! However Glen Frey was the best in Smugglers Blues, the best episode on Miami Vice.
The one and only, Frank Zappa!
The best show ever!
Don't you eat that snow. Or sniff it, for that matter.
There is no more iconic voice in rock and roll then the voice of C. Montgomery Burns.
I came to make a similar comment.😂🤣😂🤣
Leonard Cohen was so cool. RIP.
Hallelujah 💗
Of the Rock and Pop stars that appeared on MV, I quite liked Glenn Frey in Season 1 "Smugglers Blues." Phil Collins "Phil the Shill." In Season 2 aswell as Frank Zappa also Season 2 "Payback." and Willie Nelson in Season 3.
I still believe Tim Cappello is a rockstar too!
It's amazing this show has only 5 seasons. Only police series like Law and Order, NYPD Blue lasted over a decade. These musicians obviously knew this was awesome.
Leonard Cohen kills it! So convincing!! 😎😢👍
His French is excellent
Little known fact: Kyra Sewdick played drums for a prog band.
While Phil Collins is married to Kevin Bacon 😂
I know her mainly as a record producer who used a lot of horns and gated reverb.
She used to be the drummer in a really good band, and when the singer left, she took over.
🤣
@@mmsiphonevinyls1027 🤣😂🤣
John Diehl from MV is married to Julie Christensen, one of Leonard Cohen’s back up singers. They’re friends of mine here in Nashville.
This is actually literally the most iconic thing ever.
Boy George went against the trend for pop stars to appear on Miami Vice during the 1980's. He was on the A Team.
I always liked that Don Johnson never tried to affect some tough guy voice
The ONLY time he took on a tough-guy growl was when he talked about bass fishin' ... Texas-rigged
He smoked enough cigs to not have to change his voice. Tobacco took care of that already.
Frank Zappa should have been a Bond villian. Zappa and Simmons were perfect baddies.
You bet , would have been epic!
Simmons another creep
2:44 I think you meant to put Phil Collins???
Yes, not Kyra Sedgewick .🤪
umm considering phil wrote some music for the series im a little confused why they would mess his up lol
SHEENA EASTON should have been in a one-shot episode. I never brought the soap opera storyline of an undercover VICE cop married to a semi-famous popstar. A D.A. yes.
Maybe, but she was sooooooo hot.
Glenn Frey did have some acting talent...limited scope, but he played this part well...
He and Glen Frey are creeps
There were a few surprises in there for me. And I’ve seen that series from beginning to end several times. Like Barbra Streisand and Miles Davis. I love that show. It was very much a product of its time. But still quite enjoyable to watch even so many years later. Thank you for posting the video. I have to say I enjoy that video immensely
Amazing. Simply Amazing.
Liam Neeson played an Irish gun runner..♥️
See actors before they were famous video. He was not a 'Rock' star. When I posted earlier I should have made the comment that this should really by Music Stars as Miles Davis was a Jazz musician and Willie Nelson is a Country musician neither technically a rock star
@@andyaccount so....Liam Neeson rocks and he is a star....your point ?? no...your opinion and interpretation were different...😏🥴😜
@@patsalas5170 What I meant was watch the video in the same series partially titled 'Actors before they came famous', in which his appearance in shown
@@andyaccount I had seen it and still think he rocks...great actor 🤔😂
I cant beleive he did that to Issac Hayes.
Yep, they shafted him. (Do try the buffet. I'll see myself out.)
they're all great in their own ways..cheers
only TV show in history to have Frank Zappa, Bill Russell, and G. Gordon Liddy appear as actors.
My God. Leonard Cohen ❣️
Phil Collins really loved the 80s
And the 80s loved him….he basically couldnt put a foot wrong the whole decade. Just a pity as his 80s overexposure then led to a ton of hate/backlash he didnt deserve imo.
@@mmsiphonevinyls1027 he's even in GTA game vice city stories which is set in the 80s
And we all loved that Phil loved the 80’s!
Miami Vice is the Coolest Show in the 1980s the songs the Fashion Rock Stars made it Badass
Miles Davis is my favourite ROCK star.
Didnt knew Barbra was the girl in that scene, amazing😁
Did she just walk past that car and not have any lines?
@@jolenesmoove yes, Barba doesnt need to say anything, her appearance is all😊
You could see that nose a mile away...
She & Don dated. She helped get him a record contract. Remember Heartbeat?
@@goriflex2441 🤮
Been watching Miami Vice and totally didn't realize that was Frank Zappa.
best tv serie of all time
Phil Collins has a striking similar look to Kyra Sedgewick.
Leonard Cohen speaking French is quite mesmerising! Crockett beating up Isaac Hayes? I draw the line at that!
Seeing Leonard Cohen is from Montreal, it made perfect sense pour le homme a parle en francais.....
02:44 - I'm sorry? Maybe all this time I've been a fan of the wrong Genesis? Was it Kyra Sedgwick that took over when Peter Gabriel left? I'm confused now... 🤔😏🤣🤣😎🇬🇧
2:36 I didn't know Phil Collins's name was Kyra Sedgewick , Phil Collins probably his stage name
I never missed this show, and except for Kyra Sedgwick playing Phil Collins and Glen Frey, I don't remember any of these musicians being on it. Frank Zappa? Uncle Ted? I need to start on one of those memory boosters, I guess.
Willie was still old back then.
But as stiff as a rock, apparently
Would you believe that in the ‘60s, he had short hair and wore a suit and tie? And no beard!
That was one of my fav episodes, a friend had a bit pat in it...the Nicaraguan
Kyra Sedgwick looks suspiciously like Phil Collins.
Bugs Bunny guest starring in that one Tom & Jerry cartoon was definitely one of the most memorable experiences of my childhood!!!!
Are you sure that was Barbara Streisand? Not just some woman walking by?😏
I loved Harry Shearer's rock album back in the 80's.
Well he was in Spinal Tap?
Harry Shearer bouncing that cigar off the hood is hilarious to me.
The episode with Ted Nugent was 👍👍!
Ahhhh the 80’s
Awesome flashback...Issac Hayes...Phil Collins..Miles Davis..Glen Fry...Sheena Easton...Frank Zappa...etc...thanks. Doubt todays music stars could pull this off in say a CSI show as guest stars..
Speaking of CSI, Taylor Swift was in an episode, she was pretty decent...
leonard cohen was AMAZING 🤩
Amazing to see who could out-cool the cool between Miles Davis and Edward James Olmos. Decision: DRAW.
🏆🏆🏆👍🇺🇲🙏
Thank you for sharing
Had no idea Chef was in Miami Vice 👨🏿🍳
The episode with Fiona was based on Ted Nugent’s song Little Miss Dangerous. It always stood out to me. It was a pretty dark and creepy storyline.
I didn't know Little Miss Dangerous was a singer! Cool!
Great upload! 🌴☀️
Ted Nugent did the song for the episode.
Might be the greatest show ever
The absolute best was the episode with Phil Collins, no contest.
Rock On These Dudes🎸
Apparently everybody wanted to be part of it
At 5:23 Rico ignores Brown's attempt to shake his hand and he turns and shakes Sonny's hand instead... lol
John Heard in that episode with Jan Hammer.
When they played Russian Roulette after the wedding scene, THAT was intense!
Miles Davis y el Teniente Castillo, dos hombres de pocas palabras.
0:33: The inspiration for Marisa Tomei's character in My Cousin Vinny?
Kyra Sedgwick looks just like Phil Collins!
What made this show interesting was the budget.
Ted Nugent took a page from the Matthew McConnaughey school of acting , he was like " I think it would really help this scene if I took my shirt off .... and smothered myself in baby oil "
yea pretty nasty lol
Frank Zappa was a quiet good actor.
Best tv show ever
SHEENA EASTON 🔥
🎅⛄☃️Thank you!!!😃💟🎄🎀
That Kyra Sedgwick guy looks pretty familiar
Yeah, he was married to Rock Hudson.
Living in South Florida during these times was amazing when I rocked the outfit
Superb most of these Rock Stars can certainly Act.Don the main star of Miami Vice could be class a Rock Star with his brilliant song of Heartbeat.Jan does the Theme Song so no surprises hes in there like Directors do.We had 2channels to perfection and Miami Vice was on didn't watch it i was having to much fun and time as a kid miss it so much.Class of 85-89 thats me
Frank looks like he was in the sun for that one shot only, haha
Kyra Sedgewick must be that drummer from Genesis
Kyra Sedgewick looks like Phil Collins.
Leo Cohen en français : la classe
Rock Legends Appearing On One Of The Greatest TV Shows Of All Time
The Nuge still rocks!

They wrote these guys in real well including their songs like with zappa and phill and miles was great
Rip Glenn Frey
Leonard Cohen! Tonight we take Manhattan, then Berlin...but first I'm off to Miami.
DId not know ty so much
One of my favorite songs is “In the air tonight” by Kyra Sedgewick.
My music hero Miles Davis! He had a style all his own.
This just was wrong, when Crockett put Isaac Hayes' haid through a pinball machine.
I was hearing his thoughts: "Man - I've been in Showbiz a long-time... Not even Rockford did that to me..."
It's "Rockfish"!!!
You forgot David Johansen aka Buster Pointdexter
Good to see James Brown sober 😊
In the clip labelled Kyra Segwick it's Phil Collins we see.
I thought it was Bernard Getz.
