This is true, I discovered Miami Vice in France, probably at the end of the 80s. This TV series is clearly the point of origin,of the fascination who exist in France for the city of Miami.
One of the great things about this show was it extensive use of hit songs and song writers to create the perfect atmosphere for the scene. This scene for example use almost the whole song for this scene alone. Nowadays that would cost the production a huge percentage of the daily budget in copyright fees just to attempt for just one song. Thats one reason why a great TV show like this will probably never happen again😞
I love how Miami Vice would play entire songs sometimes. That's one of the reasons this show will go down as one of the best. Constructing a scene around the entire song - awesome writing/ directing
Same here, it's one of the reasons why I enjoy watching Miami Vice so much. Plus, its visual style and the themes of the various episodes make stand out from the crowd even all these years later.
I still believe the 80s was absolutely the best decade ever. The music, movies, TV shows, everything was so awesome back then. The right balance of fun, family, fantasy and hope without all the drama.
I believe so too and am glad I grew up in the 80's. Wouldn't want to grow up now with all the hatred all over the world and all the senseless killings.
Absolutely. Unique, wonderful, my heart is bursting when think about it , growing up with that decade , it will only exist in my memories and some other things such as Vice episodes and music. But it's not gonna come back.
arab peninsula wars ..or Afghanistan ..or US occupation and political influence in sout and Latin America .. there was not everywhere peace and happiness
It's ironic how, when Phil Collins appeared on Miami Vice, he played kind of a goof ball character, he was funny! Yet, his songs he did for the show were so intensely serious. Phil Collins is one of the all time great musical artists.
Phil Collins OWNED the 80's, this is one of if not the best song of them all, that riff to start with sets up the hypnotic feeling I get listening to this. I wonder why this wasn't played more.
Actually Sting was the biggest rock star of that era as the leading singer for The Police who became the biggest band of that era and then Sting launched his very successful solo music.
So underrated that he is an icon of the most popular TV show in history for which he was nominated for the Golden Globe. I wish I was that UNDERRATED. Get a f... king dictionary and check what this word means!
That's because The 80's had the best music ever! By far the biggest variety. Also it was a way more fun, feelgood and just a downright happy decade period!
I agree, I own all three volumes of the soundtrack and the two disc CD of Jan Hammer's instrumental music from the show. All of the music video scenes in the various episodes are always a highlight for me.
Afuckinmen to that rusty. Phil's song in the air tonight had to do with something in his real life, but he's been battling his wife not wanting to leave his property whatever whatever. Phill the shil episode caught up with him
I can honestly say growing up in the 80's was like winning the life lottery. I do not believe there will ever be a decade like it again - ever. It was a moment in time where the stars literally all aligned. Life was fantastic. It was a true blessing being able to live throughout that wonderful decade.
Perfectly stated. Life was good in the 80s and we knew it then while we were in it! I also know it wasn’t free from terrible events and life wasn’t perfect but there’s just something about the 80s. The world, life, was lighter. Such a fun time!
Agreed, even with the ever present threat of Nuclear War with the Soviets, it really was a truly magical time. I often tell my kids how much I wished they could have experienced the childhood I was so fortunate enough to have had
So trizzle. Phizzle was the shizzle. No dizzle. Hizzle's mizzle sizzles. Phizzle Collizle wizz thizzle bizzle songwrizzle frizzle the sevizzles thru the nizzles. It's a shamizzle that Phizzle can no longer plizzle.
me too, after the 90s there is no style anymore..think about it..every decade of the last century had its own style and sound..this century..nothing that stands out except how lacing it is
Totally agree with you and also the other classic scene was Crockett and Tubbs in the car and the background Music was Phil Collins in the air tonight. Priceless! Miami Vice had the best score music One of the best TV shows!!
Miami vice has the power to transport me back in time to a great time in my youth. I was 15 when it began and 25 when it ended. For the record I I'm 59 as I write this. Where has the time gone?
60 here my favorite episode was with Danny Sullivan the race driver. The scenes with nija 600s, I had 85 red and white brand new. So now you know why I love that episode. Second ferrari daytona(replica) with Phil Collins in the air tonight rocking. Grat time to be a teen
That scene was cold-blooded! No other cop show (if you can call it that) has ever hit as hard as Miami Vice! For me, it's like an 80s Miami time capsule. The cars, hit music, acting prowess, and timeless writing will last through the ages.
Phil Collins & Sting......two exceptional artists in their own right........beautiful but haunting sad song......long long way to go.........the grief of a loved one 🌹😇🎼
This show still stands above anything since then. It had everything. It had a "soul" that shows nowadays just don't have. This show made you feel something in your heart.
Nip Tuck was a sincere fan of Miami Vice... the only other dark/nihilistic TV show that I know of that used 80s music during every tragic ending (look up Eyes Without a Face Nip Tuck or Jesus to a Child Nip Tuck)
Scene is pure magic.... the way they're all lined up in office as camera slowly focuses on Tubbs walking out of inner office and they surround him like bodyguards protecting their own ... then the funeral scene ...Michael Mann is as close to a Sergio Leone of television with Vice
I would personnally have had Crockett show a little more empathy, temporarily, for once lol, like making him stand up closer to his partner during the funeral or something...but I guess he needed to be the one to take the card from the delivery guy, but something could have been done to show he was feeling for his partner...
@@huggyjd when MTV first came on back in 1981, my friend and I watched it for almost 4 days straight. Going to the bathroom took a backseat to Nina Blackwood's VJ spot Wearing the same clothes after 4 days starts to get to you. We couldn't afford cable TV so that's why I went to my friends house. I was in my teens when MTV started and, like other's I'm sure, changed my life. Between watching MTV, soul train, midnight special, no other show was worth watching until... September 16 1984..The Birth of Miami Vice. That 2 hour special would have such an impact on my life that still last to this day. On a stack of Bible's, it was, and still is the best tv show of all time. And with that the 1980's was, and still is the best decade ever. I could talk for days about the 80's.
I will never get tired of Crockett and Tubbs me and my buddy would go get taco Bell before it started watch Miami Vice then Friday Night Videos I miss the 80s
I love this ending. Tubbs' face when he reads the note then places it in his pocket like he's not even phased by it cause it's Calderone that needs to be afraid. I love it!
@@hwyman02 Calderone was mentioned again, there's an entire episode in Season 3 where Tubbs and Orlando Calderone battle it out on an island. It was Tubbs child with Angelina that is never mentioned again...
Survivor of drug wars in jungle, or you are paranoid and alive... or you are rotting in a putrid stream of dirty water... but yes, Olmos is a great actor!
@@robertobassetto885 I must confess that my favorite character is Castillo. This guy is amazing and Olmos gave him a deepness it is hard rock. Everything or anyone that try him is crushed. I love when he get out of his office, always great episodes
@@khaelamensha3624 True, and Olmos had to fight hard to make the production accept his own depiction of Castillo, a character that was completely different from the average "boss" in 70's - early 80's crime shows (Captain Dobey in "Starsky and Hutch" was a sort of standard). When I was 17-18, I didn't like MV very much, but I changed my mind when I matured. Great show, deeper than it seems.
Agree the world had peace besides people using drugs more and the 70s. But definitely best decade ever and even when iam dead it still will be. This show is the 🐐 and will forever be. Just watching it makes it more welcome to be American. Omggg I want to go back. Miss it man a lot and miss everything about America back then
I was only 8 when I was a fan of Miami vice seen the show from their debut in 1984 to the end of it which I wish it didnt end it could of went little longer but it didn't. I enjoy the music the special guests in the show and not only phil collins music also michael mann's theme music
Crockett and Tubbs had a bond that was real. You could feel it. The whole unit, albeit from varied backgrounds, was like a family and I credit Lt. Castillo's quiet but strong leadership for that. The show that saved Miami.
One of the BEST shows ever!!!! I miss Miami Vice!!! I wish Netflix would air it! What a great time to be young! Kid’s today don’t have any idea how great that era was! Thank you God that I could enjoy it!
This had me in tears I felt bad for Tubbs losing his lady but his son is not dead Calderone took him and planted a doll that looks like his son......powerful performance from Phillip Michael Thomas👍👍👍👍👍
Hopefully when they make a Miami Vice revival, we’ll probably would see Tubbs’ son. He’d probably be a drug lord himself today since his half uncle took him.
Omg! I was very young that time & didn't understand a lot because english wasn't my first language. But I knew & everyone watching this episode with me that night, that his ladylove & his Baby both died. We all feel sad for his tragedy. But After all these years! Mr Tubbs' baby didn't Die!
This is horrible to be bound to a virtual story like that. I liked to watch it either but I've missed quite a few episodes then because I had more important stuff to do.
Legend of a singer, and band. No one can compare. I'll never forget when this episode aired. So glad, they used his work on it. Espically for this iconic scene. Legendary. It literally suits it.
There one thing I love about Miami Vice. The endings were seldom happy endings. It always have a sense of loss somewhere in the plot. The soundtracks were flooded with great music artists of the day.
This song is so beautiful, and i dont listen to this since 1986. My body shivered to the bone. But a feeling of sorrow for the missing of those days, th e friends... \I can even recall the episode, very sad,
Phil is multi talented but hasn't had the fanfare or recognition he deserves. A superb drummer, singer, songwriter, actor, and all round effortless genius.
Love this show!!!! It's the coolest show!! The cars, the clothes, the boats, especially the music!!!! 🎶🎶🎶.... From the Motor City where we know music!!!! 👍👍👍❤❤❤....
The music, the cars, the girls, the boats, the clothes Miami Vice had it all in spades. Go I miss the 80s and Miami Vice ...........................................
MIAMI VICE debuted when I was 12, so I grew up on it. It introduced me to Phil Collins - one of my favorite singers - as well as many of the great recording artists of the 80's. I remember the final episode being so sad for us, because my friends and I knew it was the end of an era. Miami Vice ended just as we graduated high school, so it was truly the end of a great era.
Michael Mann & Phil Collins ,it's not just a tv show,it's art. The brilliance and athmosphere of Miami Vice will never be repeated. The heart and soul of this period of time is sadly missing nowadays. Take me back.
Miami Vice is a classic just as Magnum PI was. They did things that were never done before. And have yet to be done again. Miami Vice took a dead section of Miami and glammed it up. Made South Beach HOT. A place to be seen. The Sonny Crocket character inspired a fashion trend. And they used the right music to set the mood. Pop songs. And rock. Interestingly they also used a Ferrari for Magnum PI. And was also partly what made that show stand out. A PI driving a RED Ferrari. :) Different tone of course. A show like Miami Vice...surprised there was no nudity. Was there blood? Have both shows on DVD. Full seasons. Would I buy them again if they remastered them for 4k w/ Dolby Atmos?
There was some limited amount of blood shown. They went about as far as they could go on network television. ( see the body in the wall in "Out Where The Busses Don't Run" for what was more typical.)
Anderson C Hahaha... oh, wow! No my dear, actual cocaine and its entire business created the Miami that made Miami VICE, there's a reason it was set in Miami and named VICE instead of Detroit or Wyoming Vice 👌🏻 Cool historic revisionism tho. You tried! 👍🏻
Miami Vice defined my teenage years. It was THE show at the right place and at the right time. Everything about it was perfect. It was light years ahead of anything else back then and there hasn't been anything like it since. I doubt we'll ever see another ground breaking and game changing series that had such an impact on so many lives across the world.
"Sons & Lovers". In my opinion, the best episode of the entire series. I'll never understand why the writers didn't follow up this story line with Tubbs finding out his son was still alive...
From what I understand the writers of this episode did intend for Tubbs to discover his son was alive in the next season. However once season three started, they got so caught up in writing other stories that they just forgot about Tubbs son as a result.
There will never be another show like this , I’ve been searching but still haven’t found one ,even the movie didn’t even do it justice , I wish someone that really loved the show would just do the movie over for us fans
I got this series on dvd for Christmas last year and just now got around to watching it. The way Tubbs is sitting at Castillo's desk with the dark sunglasses on is very well done and you can tell that he's still struggling emotionally from what happened, and then for extra moving effect, Long Long Way To Go kicks in. I love all the tiny bits of attention to detail here, Castillo checking his watch at 0:58 to make sure they leave for the funeral on time, Crockett lingering just outside the door at 1:01 waiting for Tubbs and how everybody walks out of the squad room together and how whoever the other detective is briefly puts his hand on Tubbs's back for a few minutes. The sheer audacity of Orlando Calderone sending flowers to the funeral made me angry for Tubbs's sake. For once, Zito and Switec weren't messing around or pulling pranks, they were there to support Tubbs.
Thing about miami vice. You had to live it. Being the rigbt age, at the right time.. there was nothing like south florida in the eighties. The colors, the music, the clubs,the clothes ,the cars ,the ladies and of course the recreational pharmacuticals.this show captured it all
Phil Collins.. everything he did in the 80s (solo and with Genesis) assured he could take it easy and tour every few years. Why bother with new albums? Pretty much everything he did in the 80s worked. I just played this a couple of days ago. It's timeless. Perfect.
That scene and song is anbsolutely overwhelming! Born in 76 my parents haven't allowed me to watch the greatest series of all time. After the intro I had to go to bed. Damn I love the intros roto- tom arrangement so much...they are the reason why I became a drummer in the end. Miami Vice and all of its music will be in my heart and soul forever.
Jan Hammer is amazing, that roto tom is notorious lol i watch the series now with a good sound system and its fun to hear all the drum, bass and guitar work, had a reggae vibe too in alot of his music 🙂
The way Sting comes into the song is perfect. You know it’s him. Who wouldn’t. This song is the 1980s for the show of the 1980s. Anyone who doesn’t love the 1980s is not a good American.
There has not been a show like this since it came out. The music and the direction in these episodes says it all. We, as people are still talking about this show in 2021. That is how good the show is. We are still talking about it, today.
Will never forget the 80`s.
I ll never do it
This show with incredible musical talent of the 80s. It created an unforgettable vibe. Holds up decades later.
The best series tv ever.
Actors, scenes, locations, photography, story, plot, cars, fashion, design, architecture, soundtracks. Probably the best TV series ever.
It is
Facts
AMEN ARRIGO. WELL SAID
NOT PROBABLY, IT IS. PERIOD THE END
NASH BRIDGES WAS PRETTY DAMN GUD AFTER VICE. BUT OBVIOUSLY VICE STANDS ALONE. I'M A DONNIE WAYNE JOHNSON LUVR. FORGIVE ME
There will NEVER, and I mean NEVER EVER, be a TV show as cool as Miami Vice ever again. That's a fact.
This is true, I discovered Miami Vice in France, probably at the end of the 80s. This TV series is clearly the point of origin,of the fascination who exist in France for the city of Miami.
Same opinion from Belgium ! Respect with tears !
One of the great things about this show was it extensive use of hit songs and song writers to create the perfect atmosphere for the scene. This scene for example use almost the whole song for this scene alone. Nowadays that would cost the production a huge percentage of the daily budget in copyright fees just to attempt for just one song. Thats one reason why a great TV show like this will probably never happen again😞
Your so right and what guy didn't want to be Sonny Crockett
Agreed. Somethings you can only archive once in a lifetime, Kenobi.
Miami Vice wasn't just a show, it was a feeling..
Man that was beautiful 😢
An entire era and lifestyle captured in a series unforgettable shows. Wish we could bring it all back.
Agreed 💯 👍

Steve Perry is probably the voice of the 80’s. But Phil Collins certainly is right there.

Yes, two of the sages of musical genius 👏 Andy Summers contributed his haunting guitar tones as well 🙂
Somehow, people in the 1980s looked cooler than most folks do nowadays. The clothes, the hair, etc...just class without trying too hard.
It was a great time.
They put a lot of thought and effort into their appearance..
This show still stands above anything since then. It had everything. It had a "soul" that shows nowadays just don't have. This show made you feel something in your heart.
This show caused everyone to become invested in the characters. Phil Collins music is perfect

I love how his whole department supported him.
MIAMI VICE WAS THE BEST COP SERIES EVER IN 80S 😎 ⚡️ 👍 ⚡️🇺🇸
80s. Better shows. Better music. A better time
Agree the world had peace besides people using drugs more and the 70s. But definitely best decade ever and even when iam dead it still will be. This show is the 🐐 and will forever be. Just watching it makes it more welcome to be American. Omggg I want to go back. Miss it man a lot and miss everything about America back then
I can remember this scene as a child..back n 1986.. I was 10 years old and a big MIAMI VICE Fan.... 😯..✌..
Just like me 😉 76er
Grew up with this , influenced my life in numerous ways
I was 11 and still a die hard fan
Millennials don't know about this stuff
@@Boba0205 Me too!!! 75
I was only 8 when I was a fan of Miami vice seen the show from their debut in 1984 to the end of it which I wish it didnt end it could of went little longer but it didn't. I enjoy the music the special guests in the show and not only phil collins music also michael mann's theme music
Miami vice was the shit. When I was younger I waited week by week for this show.
Crockett and Tubbs had a bond that was real. You could feel it. The whole unit, albeit from varied backgrounds, was like a family and I credit Lt. Castillo's quiet but strong leadership for that. The show that saved Miami.
This is the coldest ending in TV history.
The "I'll be back" was like a volcano. My mouth dropped open. Loved this show.
There are no words for how cool this is.....
Each decade has one show that becomes timeless. This is the 80s offering in my book.
Michael Mann and Phil Collins, wonderful and timeless art work
DON'T FORGET JAN HAMMER. HIS BIRTHDAY IS FRIDAY APRIL 17TH. SAME AS MINE.
Park James Shaw happy Birthday and all the best to you then , mate
And Sting was on some of those tracks to😊
One of the BEST shows ever!!!! I miss Miami Vice!!! I wish Netflix would air it! What a great time to be young! Kid’s today don’t have any idea how great that era was! Thank you God that I could enjoy it!
Hi Marilyn,hope you’re okay ?
I'm watching all 5 seasons on Peacock
This had me in tears I felt bad for Tubbs losing his lady but his son is not dead Calderone took him and planted a doll that looks like his son......powerful performance from Phillip Michael Thomas👍👍👍👍👍
Hopefully when they make a Miami Vice revival, we’ll probably would see Tubbs’ son. He’d probably be a drug lord himself today since his half uncle took him.
Omg! I was very young that time & didn't understand a lot because english wasn't my first language. But I knew & everyone watching this episode with me that night, that his ladylove & his Baby both died. We all feel sad for his tragedy. But After all these years! Mr Tubbs' baby didn't Die!
That was the biggest plot hole in the series. We never discovered what happened to his son, and Tubbs never learned that he was alive.
Gosh, I didn't remember this episode, lol. Thanks for the breakdown.
I though calderone was killed earlier than this episode
MAN I was a teenager in the 80's I watched this show every Friday at 9pm never missed a episode boy I miss it
Same here!!!!
This is horrible to be bound to a virtual story like that. I liked to watch it either but I've missed quite a few episodes then because I had more important stuff to do.
Miami Vice will haunt me for life !!
The tone set in the 80’s when it comes to music,television and Movies will never be matched
Legend of a singer, and band. No one can compare. I'll never forget when this episode aired. So glad, they used his work on it. Espically for this iconic scene. Legendary. It literally suits it.
Legend
There one thing I love about Miami Vice. The endings were seldom happy endings. It always have a sense of loss somewhere in the plot. The soundtracks were flooded with great music artists of the day.
This song is so beautiful, and i dont listen to this since 1986. My body shivered to the bone. But a feeling of sorrow for the missing of those days, th e friends... \I can even recall the episode, very sad,
This scene, this song, is the reason I want it played at my funeral
I said exactly the same thing...play this song at a loop.
My also
If Phil Collins is involved its 100% gonna be brilliant 👍
Combine his genius with Sting and this masterpiece happens 👏❤
Phil Collins and Sting, two legendary artists. Their music will live on for years after they are gone.( I'm glad they're still here though.)
Greatest cop show ever. Can’t be copied or outdone. I miss my childhood
The show & the music blended together perfectly
This song brings back so many memories of a better life in the 80's..what a show...
the show that started it all...no other show comes close
This was a very cinematic television program way ahead of its time.
Phil is multi talented but hasn't had the fanfare or recognition he deserves. A superb drummer, singer, songwriter, actor, and all round effortless genius.
Never missed a episode...best show on television period😍
Haven’t seen this in years and stills give me goosebumps or CHILLS!
Luv all ur comments peeps. Damn what a show and time. At 49 years old I'm still tearing up watching all these vice videos. Absolutely brilliant imo
3 decades later, never feel a bit outdated
AMEN EDWARD
The 86 is merely just yesterday, man.
This series was amazing for dozens of reasons. The number one reason being that Michael Mann is so talented.
Love this show!!!! It's the coolest show!! The cars, the clothes, the boats, especially the music!!!! 🎶🎶🎶.... From the Motor City where we know music!!!! 👍👍👍❤❤❤....
Wow!!!It seems that each Phil Collins song reflected each occasion in the series!!!
There will never be a TV series like this one.
The music, the cars, the girls, the boats, the clothes Miami Vice had it all in spades. Go I miss the 80s and Miami Vice ...........................................
MIAMI VICE debuted when I was 12, so I grew up on it. It introduced me to Phil Collins - one of my favorite singers - as well as many of the great recording artists of the 80's. I remember the final episode being so sad for us, because my friends and I knew it was the end of an era. Miami Vice ended just as we graduated high school, so it was truly the end of a great era.
One of my FAVORITE episodes, and the first time I heard Long Long Way To Go, which I still love to this day! 🙌🏾
Absolutely best ever, clothes, jewelry, fast cars, best music.
Alot of actors made their mark there. Just 80s on steroids
Michael Mann & Phil Collins ,it's not just a tv show,it's art. The brilliance and athmosphere of Miami Vice will never be repeated. The heart and soul of this period of time is sadly missing nowadays. Take me back.
Miami Vice is a classic just as Magnum PI was. They did things that were never done before. And have yet to be done again. Miami Vice took a dead section of Miami and glammed it up. Made South Beach HOT. A place to be seen. The Sonny Crocket character inspired a fashion trend. And they used the right music to set the mood. Pop songs. And rock.
Interestingly they also used a Ferrari for Magnum PI. And was also partly what made that show stand out. A PI driving a RED Ferrari. :) Different tone of course.
A show like Miami Vice...surprised there was no nudity. Was there blood? Have both shows on DVD. Full seasons. Would I buy them again if they remastered them for 4k w/ Dolby Atmos?
There was some limited amount of blood shown. They went about as far as they could go on network television. ( see the body in the wall in "Out Where The Busses Don't Run" for what was more typical.)
WELL SAID ANDERSON
Anderson C Hahaha... oh, wow! No my dear, actual cocaine and its entire business created the Miami that made Miami VICE, there's a reason it was set in Miami and named VICE instead of Detroit or Wyoming Vice 👌🏻
Cool historic revisionism tho. You tried! 👍🏻
Miami Vice defined my teenage years. It was THE show at the right place and at the right time. Everything about it was perfect. It was light years ahead of anything else back then and there hasn't been anything like it since. I doubt we'll ever see another ground breaking and game changing series that had such an impact on so many lives across the world.
"Sons & Lovers". In my opinion, the best episode of the entire series. I'll never understand why the writers didn't follow up this story line with Tubbs finding out his son was still alive...
From what I understand the writers of this episode did intend for Tubbs to discover his son was alive in the next season. However once season three started, they got so caught up in writing other stories that they just forgot about Tubbs son as a result.
@@user-si9fx4xb6v ~ I didn't know that. Either way, they lost out not following up...
The episodes which revolved around their private lives were always the best.
@@captainprototype187~ Agreed...
I've often wondered that myself .
There will never be another show like this , I’ve been searching but still haven’t found one ,even the movie didn’t even do it justice , I wish someone that really loved the show would just do the movie over for us fans
I got this series on dvd for Christmas last year and just now got around to watching it. The way Tubbs is sitting at Castillo's desk with the dark sunglasses on is very well done and you can tell that he's still struggling emotionally from what happened, and then for extra moving effect, Long Long Way To Go kicks in. I love all the tiny bits of attention to detail here, Castillo checking his watch at 0:58 to make sure they leave for the funeral on time, Crockett lingering just outside the door at 1:01 waiting for Tubbs and how everybody walks out of the squad room together and how whoever the other detective is briefly puts his hand on Tubbs's back for a few minutes. The sheer audacity of Orlando Calderone sending flowers to the funeral made me angry for Tubbs's sake. For once, Zito and Switec weren't messing around or pulling pranks, they were there to support Tubbs.
Thing about miami vice. You had to live it. Being the rigbt age, at the right time.. there was nothing like south florida in the eighties. The colors, the music, the clubs,the clothes ,the cars ,the ladies and of course the recreational pharmacuticals.this show captured it all
Phil Collins.. everything he did in the 80s (solo and with Genesis) assured he could take it easy and tour every few years. Why bother with new albums? Pretty much everything he did in the 80s worked. I just played this a couple of days ago. It's timeless. Perfect.
That scene and song is anbsolutely overwhelming! Born in 76 my parents haven't allowed me to watch the greatest series of all time. After the intro I had to go to bed. Damn I love the intros roto- tom arrangement so much...they are the reason why I became a drummer in the end. Miami Vice and all of its music will be in my heart and soul forever.
Jan Hammer is amazing, that roto tom is notorious lol i watch the series now with a good sound system and its fun to hear all the drum, bass and guitar work, had a reggae vibe too in alot of his music 🙂
I Love Miami Vice 🇺🇸
I also
I saw Phil perform this live, it was sublime...
Thank you for posting this. This is a classic Miami Vice scene. Can't believe nearly 30 years have passed. Good memories.
The way Sting comes into the song is perfect. You know it’s him. Who wouldn’t. This song is the 1980s for the show of the 1980s. Anyone who doesn’t love the 1980s is not a good American.
There has not been a show like this since it came out. The music and the direction in these episodes says it all. We, as people are still talking about this show in 2021. That is how good the show is. We are still talking about it, today.
OmygOodness this ...episode 😭😭😭😭😭😭 CrockettTubbslOove.. soo much love
35 years and still, this show holding up against time in a magnificent way. Still modern still fresh and new
The scenes, the actors, the clothes, the cars, the music. It will be amazing if anyone can ever put this type of show together again.
Whoever picked the artist and there song for each individual scene during the whole Miami Vice run is a god!
They weren’t afraid of SILENCE Mann realised that more can be conveyed by eyes and facial expression. VERY VERY brave. This is basic drama school 101.
You’re so right. The silence in this show is as powerful as any dialogue
Trevor Pidcock In SILENCE there is STRENGTH.
Compare it to CSI with dialogue overload.
The use of silence in Miami Vice is a trademark of this show. Sometimes adding is destructive
The music they put in this iconic tv show was outstanding truly STUNNING
There was never a show like Miami Vice and there will never be again unless it returns my all-time favorite cop show Miami Vice
