@@stevenponte6655 LOL it was a great TV show, and a great theme song. I'm playing the theme song....right now. Stay safe and greetings from Charleston, West Virginia. Semper Fi
My dad loved Hill Street Blues as well.. and he's gone now too.. theme song brings me to tears.. I'm 45 and still think this is one of the greatest shows. Miss you Dad
brings back so many memories: our very small house, 2 cats, storm and heavy showers in november and then, with the fireplace burning late at night Hillstreet Blues................
brings back lots of beautiful memories, my wife Liz and I just to work in downtown Houston We would rush home after work to get dinner ready and enjoy this show, we wouldn't miss one, Liz had a slight resemblance to Veronica Hamil, that hair line those bewitching green eyes, nose and those lips amazingly delicate and beautiful she gave me the most amazing gifts that life could offer, a beautiful daughter, her spitting image, and subsequently, 2 beautiful grandkids, she left us some years ago, Liz wherever you are, we are all ok and missing you lots, kids say that you are looking upon us from heaven, they are right, down here we are all looking upon you
I was just a child of 10 y.o. and watching the Italian TV, I was falled in my first love: was Veronica Hamel. What a wonderful woman! Elegant, classy and fascinating like this unforgettable soundtrack.
I watched HSB with my mom when I was a kid. Later in life I fell in love with Steely Dan and Mr. Carlton and discovered it was his guitar work in the theme song. Crazy how the world goes round. Miss you Mom ❤
My parents' favourite show back then. I was just looking for regular clips of the theme but stumbled on this- thanks for posting this performance. That was something special.
So beautiful and yea it does bring back a LOT of memories. It's the sound of the city in the 80's, still gritty and ungentrified. Be good to each other and Be Careful out There!
I feel a little embarrassed that I played that song on the radio when I was in top 40 and Mike Post was on the charts, and I even watched the show each week, and it never occurred to me that Larry was playing that guitar part. Sweet.
Lee Sklar, who played bass on the original record, plays this over on his YT channel. One of my all-time favorite shows AND theme songs. Thanks, Larry.
The reason people buy tickets to see Larry live is because he makes such beautiful music. An amazing guitar player! But first and foremost, great rhythm and melodies. The top most important things of writing music. "Rhythm, and Melodies." That is my Law. A Law I learned from the great Larry Carlton.
Larry, thank you for not ‘farting’ about with this perfect solo. For me, it is up there with the ‘Spiral’ solo and all the others....which we all know. This is such a perfect solo. Thank you.
I never watched an episode of that show. But everytime it came on i would stop and listen to that lead guitar. Don't even think i finished the song but that guitar made it work.. Thanks Mr Carlton. Dont take me alive was another of my favorite songs due to your guitar. I'm kind of surprised you didn't do bootasiafi by Steely Dan
Extremely high talented. I love this TV show theme, I used to watch Hill Street Blues in the 80's, I was a teen. It's probably one of the most beautiful creation of Mike Post. And this tune would be different without the guitar of Mr Larry Carlton. A huge artist.
The original affected my future career as a guitarist,, the beautiful lead tone of a 335 blended with the amazing clean sound of his Valley Arts Strat, a sound that I have spent my life trying to emulate, check it out on the YT video of the soundtrack recording, just magnificent.
Larry is such a consummate player. So I thought the theme song was written and played by mike post like many of his popular credited songs. Did he hire Larry to play and or co-write?
@@mxg75 Not Exactly. However it is true, Mike Post wrote "Hill Street Blues". Larry was not part of the band that created the basic track. He added his solo parts on top of the already recorded music. The bed of the track was recorded at "Smoketree Studios" in Chatsworth CA (my personal studio). I recorded/engineered Hill Street Blues". Mike asked me to take the 24 Track tapes to Larry's studio- "Studio 335". So I did. Larry and I spend an afternoon at his place. He used his Gibson 335 for the first half of the solo, and then swapped over to a Fender Strat for the middle section. It was definitely a memorable afternoon. I returned to my studio and mixed the track for Mike. Needless to say Mike loved the solo. The rest is history.
Mike Post is only the king of writing TV soundtracks. Larry is a champ in his own right.....deserved every accolade for his work with Steely Dan alone never mind.... yeah. This is a great lil anecdotal video clip most won't really grasp. Love it.
@@1800WorldNews You were the engineer on this? Fantastic! Guessing you worked with Mike on other stuff too? It's my fav of Mike's with a close follow of LA Law, and Greatest American Hero (also with Larry).....prob gotta put Magnum PI and Chips in there too somewhere.....but HSB was something else. Cheers
too bad--when done right, it soars, but here it is sluggish and dutiful. sounds like Larry with a high school band that means well but can't pull it off. Larry parrots his original solo but to no avail. the original with Mike Post is a mother, tho
Loved it. Memories of my wife and I putting our 2 little boys to bed for the night, then laying on the couch and watching Hill Street Blues
ha ha I knew as a kid when that song came on, it was time for bed!!!

Hill street blues was one of the best police shows on TV, your father had great taste .
My dad loved Hill Street Blues as well.. and he's gone now too.. theme song brings me to tears.. I'm 45 and still think this is one of the greatest shows. Miss you Dad
There was so much character development. Our family used to to gather for the show and reruns.
The best cop TV show ever... I have started watching it from start again.. And the Theme music is unforgettable.

This is beyond good. Nice memories from the 80s…
Memories of bedtime when I was a youngster. Talk about sentimental shit right here.
brings back so many memories: our very small house, 2 cats, storm and heavy showers in november and then, with the fireplace burning late at night Hillstreet Blues................
I'm 42 but i remember this show as a very little boy .
One of the greatest artist of our time..🌹
I was in high school when this first aired. Watching it now on CBS All Access because of COVID-19 and loving it again.
This put a huge smile on my face! Love it!
Didn't entirely understand it when I was little, but this show was a favorite when I got older, and the theme is a beloved classic.

Loves this song when I was a child:) it stuck in my head for a long time:)
Memories of my wife and I putting our two baby boys to sleep for the night. Then watching Hill Street Blues on the couch together.
@@usmc-veteran73-77 Some song really touch deep in your heart and brings back lots of memories, sadly they don't make this anymore.
@@develentsai3215 I agree

Great song but fills me with great anxiety. Good times never to come back again.
I hear you my brother.
I never watched this show but undoubtedly one of the greatest themes from any show!
I’ve never seen it yet but I’ve been buying old tv series that I’ve never seen
It was the greatest police TV drama, with the greatest TV theme tune.
So loving what great song
Beautiful, such memories of that time :)
Oh how do i miss live performances!!!
Awesome 😎 i have just the first season on DVD.
Lucky you, it was a great TV show. My wife would put our 2 little boys to bed, lay on the couch together and watch "Hill Street Blues"
My parents' favourite show back then. I was just looking for regular clips of the theme but stumbled on this- thanks for posting this performance. That was something special.
Back again, once again, the 1st note gave me "Chill Bumps" as it always does. Thanks again
Love Larry. Classy player and all round cool dude.
love to jam with with Larry Carlton on this one!
🎼🎵🎹🎸
my childhood)) Thank you guys!
So beautiful and yea it does bring back a LOT of memories. It's the sound of the city in the 80's, still gritty and ungentrified. Be good to each other and Be Careful out There!
Hill Street Blues I’ve got those Hill Street Blues
from Japan this song is great
I feel a little embarrassed that I played that song on the radio when I was in top 40 and Mike Post was on the charts, and I even watched the show each week, and it never occurred to me that Larry was playing that guitar part. Sweet.
Love!!! My fav theme song!
Put simply… a classic! This is one of those tunes that marks a generation. Great tune for a great show.
In those days I didn´t know who Larry Carlton was. I know now! Thanks for sharing!
Such sweet memories 💖
So good it gave me chills.
Larry is the GOAT
Lee Sklar, who played bass on the original record, plays this over on his YT channel. One of my all-time favorite shows AND theme songs. Thanks, Larry.
Esa cancion me trae muchos recuerdos muy agadables esta muy bonita es un blues que agradable gracias por esos recuerdos feliccitaciones
one of THE COOLEST things i have ever seen...
Sad everyone didn't start clapping.... Love this!
never watched the show (didn't watch a ton of TV back then) but boy did I love the song!!!!! back when TV themes could be hits on the radio

Notice how Larry is joking before the solo, but once it starts, he is dead serious. Main man.
Great song
I never watched an episode of that show. But everytime it came on i would stop and listen to that lead guitar. Don't even think i finished the song but that guitar made it work.. Thanks Mr Carlton. Dont take me alive was another of my favorite songs due to your guitar. I'm kind of surprised you didn't do bootasiafi by Steely Dan
I love that lead such a great riff
6/6/2024 listening as I watch. 80th Anniversary of D Day @Normandy , France. To all the Military out there Thank You for your Service. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
My childhood awww memories
Thank you
So good!!!
So beautifully nostalgic
Grew up on this show
Hill Street!!❤❤❤
My last name is Gibson. Never cared for Gibson guitars (always Fender) but after hearing this live - I gotta get one!
いつ聞いても素敵です🥰
Great arrangement!
Iconic
Instant nostalgia. Just add Carlton.
Song starts at 1:55
Why does this make us think of our parents? I know nostalgia but this is different. Beautiful music.
Favorite childhood show, oh wait Magnum PI 🤣
Extremely high talented.
I love this TV show theme, I used to watch Hill Street Blues in the 80's, I was a teen.
It's probably one of the most beautiful creation of Mike Post.

HEY........Let's be careful out there.
01:52 Start of song.
Great, but I miss the Mini Moog note bending parts....
Hill Street Blues available right now on channel 4

Yes

This is excellent, but my favorite performance of this song was done by Carter Guitar.
Peace Officer Tune…👍🥃
Great but I wish Larry had also used the volume pedal here like on the original.
If I recall, the lead in Hill St Blues was a wind instrument not a guitar.
Was a synth, Moog Minimoog for the lead sound..
5/5 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻/👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
ヒルストリートブルース、観たいね。コロナばかりで疲れた。LA LOW とかマイアミバイスとか、80sのTV観たい
Thought mike post created this song?
kaz He credits Post after the song. Post wrote it, Carlton was part of the band that recorded it.

This small group of folks have nothing to do w the Larry Carlton army of 40 year fans who know every note

The music starts at 02:00 and sounds fuck all like the Hill St Blues theme.
Lots of nurdling for cash.
:
Does this tune make anybody else hair on the back of your neck stand up?
it helps to have 2 black guys in the band on rhythm
Bonanza?
joe spano look like the ted turner own hanna barbera
This took away those covid blues and let us remember... Let's be careful out there.

Terrible. Those are not the notes used in the TV music. Why were they changed? Copyright?
