One of the greatest shows NOBODY knows about. PRIME candidate for reboot. Space: 2099, same plot line. Somebody really needs to get on this. Also, in my top 10 of greatest theme song of all time.
The guy with the electric guitar, love that sound. It all still excites me with childhood memories of looking forward to this show and enjoying all the acting and FX of it's time.
Not only was that played wonderfully and is a terrific performance, but I particularly like how the main theme modulated seamlessly into the end credits theme! Great job, great transition, great everything!
SPACE 1999 MOONBASE ALPHA MESSAGE From Commander Koenig: Dear band members. We here on Moonbase Alpha in the Main Mission Control room have only just received the transmission of your music performance from 2015 covering our theme song. We are deeply touched and honored that you still remember us all these thousands of light years away and generations later. Excellent job. On behalf of all the Alphans here we thank you. Keep reaching for the stars. This is Commander Koenig Main Mission Control signing off. End of communique. R I P Mr. Martin Landau our Commander Koenig whom was married to actress Barbara Bain Their daughter Juliet Landau is also an accomplished actress in her own right.
Until you see all the instruments laid out in front of you, you never would have thought just how complex a piece of music it actually is. When you listen to it in the opening an closing credits you almost think of it as a piece of fluff, but to see it played out in front of you and the arrangement required with that many varied instruments, it becomes more obvious how well the piece is put together
@@ElectoneGuy I agree. However, I think they still had the same music within the episodes (I haven't watched them in so long, I really don't remember).
Such a wonderful, happy day when Gerry Anderson’s path collided with Barry Gray’s. Such iconic themes as this and of course, the March from Thunderbirds are in my DNA.
Magnificent - a flawless rendition, capturing the action of the original. The inclusion of the extra woodwind instruments gave it an extra richness, while the two guitaists were outstanding. Having attended the "Stand By For Action 2" concert earlier this year, this was just as good.
*Stands up....CLAP!....CLAP!....CLAP!....CLAP!...BRAVO! That was extraordinarily good-especially considering you didn't appear to have a strings section-WOW!
Lol! Omg that was awesome! One of the best themes ever and you guys did a great job. Some of those band members look too young to have ever watched the show!
Great comments all positive as I still enjoy watching "On the Buses". My wife who got married to me in India didn't know much about this program but although she doesn't say anything, she understands why I still watch it over and over again.Great dialogues and great lines. I would really like to be able to see the location where it was recorded which is 2 Malden Rd, Borehamwood WD6 1BW but I am sure it is not the same now
This is the first time I've seen a video representation of Barry's theme to this wonderful series. It's just wonderful on a sad note neither composer Gray or Wadsworth year 2 are with us now I'd like to see both versions more visual yl represented in North America.
Love this so much. They don't write great TV music like this very often anymore. Appreciate the enthusiasm of the players in this community orchestra. They are obviously having fun!
WoW !! Merveilleux ! Bravo les jeunes!! J'avais 10-11 ans quand ce show passait à la télé et j'ai maintenant 57 ans et je suis toujours ému d'entendre cette pièce. Ca marqué ma jeunesse !
This was terrific. I was shocked, when the camera finally panned over to you, to see how young you are! I was a kid when this show first aired; it's nice to see it has people who appreciate it generations later.
wow wow wow INCREDIBLE!!!! Fantastic arrangement, all the variations were in there. so powerful. it's a great piece and hearing you all play it with such obvious enthusiasm made me quite emotional
Fantastic! Loved this show as a kid, tears in my eyes too, never thought I'd see this performed "live." One of the best intro themes ever of one of the best TV shows ever. Thanks for keeping it alive!
Very well done version of this classic TV theme - the atmospheric build up at the end is truely brilliant !!!
This is incredible. I am a big Space: 1999 fan, and I am tearing up with emotion.
I feel the same, its a remarkable rendition.
One of the greatest shows NOBODY knows about. PRIME candidate for reboot. Space: 2099, same plot line. Somebody really needs to get on this. Also, in my top 10 of greatest theme song of all time.
This was so cool it made me cry...45 years old...just blown away
Amazing beautiful. Brought me to tears because Tv shows now days have no passion for them songs now days their all the same :(
Agreed. Just watched Marvel agents of shield and NO theme song
Well said. People laugh at the fact that 50% of the music on my phone is old TV theme songs from the '60s, '70s, and '80s..
Excellent!!!
The lady with the cymbals at 1:33 is definitely having too much fun.
Haha I'll let her know
Not as much fun as the lady at 2:10 is having with the cymbals :p
The guy with the electric guitar, love that sound. It all still excites me with childhood memories of looking forward to this show and enjoying all the acting and FX of it's time.
Julie is a Great Girl!
Physically demanding she had to drink after lol
Not only was that played wonderfully and is a terrific performance, but I particularly like how the main theme modulated seamlessly into the end credits theme! Great job, great transition, great everything!
SPACE 1999 MOONBASE ALPHA MESSAGE
From Commander Koenig:

Their daughter Juliet Landau is also an accomplished actress in her own right.
Martin and Julia both appeared in "Ed Wood Jr", and he won an Oscar for his magnificent portrayal of Bela Lugosi.
Don’t worry, Commander. We’ve discovered a stable wormhole in the Gamma Quadrant. We’ll have you back in no time.
Yes, she is! For all Buffy fans, she played Drusilla, just to let y'all know.
Commander have Cano connect the computer to radion transmission more is coming. Say Hi to Alene.
Unfortunately, this message was never seen , because the Earth had been blown apart when the Moon left orbit!
Dude on the guitar looks uncannily like 70s-era Phil Manzanera in Roxy Music.
Well call me Alpha because I'm blown away.
Ricordo quando ero un ragazzino e lo vedevo tutti i giorni. Che malinconia.
I love the expressions of joy on players faces:) The cymbalists are really having a great day!
The ending was nearly perfect. I was imagining seeing Eagle 1 soring above the surface of the moon. Just like the end of the actual closing creditis!
This Episode !
That was FANTASTIC!!!!!! The tears are flowing.
That was very cool. Those kids are great.
badass. This made my entire week.
Brilliant!
Awesome cover of Space 1999 Theme song
Memories of very happy childhood days. Sadly missed.

Barry Gray was a great composer, deserved far more recognition.
Kind of explains why the Musicians Union were all powerful back in the day.
Also why it made me so sad when they changed the theme for the second season.
@@STNeish They butchered the music (along with the show) in the second season.
@@ElectoneGuy I agree. However, I think they still had the same music within the episodes (I haven't watched them in so long, I really don't remember).
Outstanding! Barry Gray and Vic Elms would have been so honored.
Fantastic!
Such a wonderful, happy day when Gerry Anderson’s path collided with Barry Gray’s. Such iconic themes as this and of course, the March from Thunderbirds are in my DNA.
It was more like a decade. Barry Gray wrote for every one of the Anderson shows over more than a decade and they are all good.
Wow this is brilliant 👏
Awesome. Fabulous performance. They really don't make TV theme tunes like that anymore.
I THINK BARRY GRAY WOULD APPROVE, WELL DONE ! ! !👍👍👍
Awesome performance
Absolutely brilliant!!
Came here to applaud the music - then realised I recognised the venue. Proper job!
Magnificent - a flawless rendition, capturing the action of the original.
The inclusion of the extra woodwind instruments gave it an extra richness, while the two guitaists were outstanding.
Having attended the "Stand By For Action 2" concert earlier this year, this was just as good.
Great job. I always loved the intro to season one.
Bravo!
Jesus T. Christ! Wow! That intro still hits you like brick wall dropped from orbit. Seeing it performed live was stunning.
amazingly good
Amazing performance of the MoonBase Alpha Band ! ;-) AWESOME !!!
Moonbase Alpha Band?!
In space, no one can hear you orchestra(l maneuvres in the dark).
well done! That was great..had shivers down my spine at one point!
That is bloody brilliant. Made my hair stand up.
wow...so beautifully awesome
Barry gray should be up there with the GREAT composers, you can see that people love to play his music.
I always knew the guitar was a wind instrument!
JK!
This is a fantastic achievement.
Kudos to all who took part!
I got chills and could not stop smiling! Wonderful! Beautifully done!
How many memories come to my mind with this Soundtrack Good Job Guys :-)
I keep coming back here.
Great job guys
Somewhere high above, Barry was looking down on this with pride
I cant stop playing it. Absolutely fantastic.
Very Nice!!! ........... Very, Very NICE!!!!!!!!!!
Oh the feels for one of my favorite SciFi shows!
Wow! That is fantastic. Thanks for sharing!!
Truly wonderful...congrats from Italy! 🇬🇧🇮🇹🎵🌙
Oh, that was fun! I met my wife at a Space: 1999 convention. She would have loved this. (Thirty-seven years together. Wasn't enough...)
Genuinely brought a tear of happiness and rememberance to my eyes. What an underatted composer barry gray was.
*Stands up....CLAP!....CLAP!....CLAP!....CLAP!...BRAVO! That was extraordinarily good-especially considering you didn't appear to have a strings section-WOW!
Awesome! Barry would be proud! Thank you!
Awesome! Thanks so much for posting this great video. Memories from my childhood...
I grew up with Space 1999 in US syndication in the mid-70s. Thanks for performing and for posting. ; )
Lol! Omg that was awesome! One of the best themes ever and you guys did a great job. Some of those band members look too young to have ever watched the show!
I am as blown away as the Moon itself!
No dislikes.
Let's keep it that way.
Bah! Two jerks had to spoil it!
Who cares about the negatives? Not us.
20 dislikes ??? Why???
One of my favourite programmes. Thanks for posting.

Great comments all positive as I still enjoy watching "On the Buses". My wife who got married to me in India didn't know much about this program but although she doesn't say anything, she understands why I still watch it over and over again.Great dialogues and great lines. I would really like to be able to see the location where it was recorded which is 2 Malden Rd, Borehamwood WD6 1BW but I am sure it is not the same now
Bravo to the group, and the organizer!

Barry Grey was a genius. The music still gives me chills.

It's just wonderful on a sad note neither composer Gray or Wadsworth year 2 are with us now I'd like to see both versions more visual yl represented in North America.
Absolutely brilliant can’t stop playing it.
I turned my daughter onto SPACE: 1999, and she always comments that the score is very dramatic. I can't wait to show her this. Thanks for this.
Love this so much. They don't write great TV music like this very often anymore. Appreciate the enthusiasm of the players in this community orchestra. They are obviously having fun!
WoW !! Merveilleux ! Bravo les jeunes!! J'avais 10-11 ans quand ce show passait à la télé et j'ai maintenant 57 ans et je suis toujours ému d'entendre cette pièce. Ca marqué ma jeunesse !

Wow! Way better than I would've ever expected. Thank you.
Honestly, on of the best live performances of a TV I have ever heard. BRAVO!
Well done! Barry Gray would be proud!!
Thank you from California for this, so much... looking forward to a better quality post.
Stirring performance of one of the greatest t.v. theme songs of all time.
This was terrific. I was shocked, when the camera finally panned over to you, to see how young you are! I was a kid when this show first aired; it's nice to see it has people who appreciate it generations later.
So great and touching...in tears..
Wow. That was brilliant. Nice arrangement. And I love that everyone seemed to be having with it as well. :-)
Brilliant !!! Space 199 fan since the start Love this well done (:
wow wow wow INCREDIBLE!!!! Fantastic arrangement, all the variations were in there. so powerful. it's a great piece and hearing you all play it with such obvious enthusiasm made me quite emotional
Nice job ! All of you !
Man o man this is a glorious tune. Until you see it played you cant tell it's so complex. Well done group.
Fantastic! You are all true artists!
Fantastic!! Love this.
Hard to believe we lost the moon 20 years ago this September!
WOOOOOOWWWWWWW!!!!! Impressive!!!! Sent a shiver down my spine
