Yea I do.And my family loved that show.I being born in the late 60s. Saw this on local tv station.The late actor Johnathan Harris .Comes to mind didn't know John Williams did TV show theme.
@@williamjones4479 I didn't like it in the 1970s because it gave me headaches. I now realize that when I was 8, the 10 year old "Older kid" was simply turning up the volume on the television to painful proportions! I never hated Lost in Space, I always loved it, but it is a boon to watch it now, and realize I don't have to have the volume turned up to painful levels. At the same time, I'm 54 and my hearing is fading.... but it's not dead yet.
It’s not until you see and hear a full orchestra play such note-perfect covers of the original two themes that you appreciate how much work both creatively and technically John Williams put into these. That Netflix retained the second theme for its remake of the show is testament to how such great music can define and a drive a tv show for generations after its initial release. Bravo Cincinnati Pops!
Great childhood memories. Rewatching it years later and seeing Johnny Williams in the credits, I thought...what are the chances? Thanks for taking me back to those times of adventure!
Recovering from a back injury (at age 64) has given me the chance to watch all three seasons in less than a month. I can still remember watching the show in the 1960's as a young kid. We'd be outside playing and "drop everything" and run in to watch (7pm?). Some things never grow old.
Except, perhaps, us. 😉 62 here, and I know what you mean. Later, the show that caused us to rush home from school to get in front of the tube was Dark Shadows. 😏
Maybe John Williams thought his music was okay and that this was just another paycheck, but what he probably didn't realize was that it would endure for so long. That, and the fact that he became one of the most prolific and one of the greatest composers ever of the modern era. The series might not have lasted for a long time, but his music will last for all time! (Same with the Land Of The Giants theme). The 1960's shows really had great music...Star Trek, TOS, The Green Hornet...more. What a time to be a kid!
John Williams wrote so many different things and affected everyone's life. gave society "That flavor" of everything he touched. Left quite a legacy. Color that paint by number world we live in for us to hear.
Mine too. Loved being home sick and watching reruns of these amazing shows on daytime TV (early 1970’s). Wish I was just a little older so I could’ve seen the original broadcasts at night on our huge 10” TV 😅
solovoyager 64! For 6 more months! I get to sing my Beatles song, When I’m 64! Everyday. Next year it’s obsolete. “If you don’t love me by now, you missed the train, folks!” I loved this Johnny Williams music!
Mind blown. Doubley blown considering John Williams was knocking it out of the park in the late sixties and still does today, having just taken another oscar nom for Rise of Skywalker (hideous film) and in 2021 written a violin concerto
I'm so glad they include the "countdown" portion of the the third season theme. Both are really well done but I never realized how much that 3rd season theme can swing! Outstanding work in this arrangement!
I strange that I found this today. I just finish watching the last episode of Lost In Space on blu ray. It was fun to have them back in my life for three seasons.
I just love how you can hear the low brass so clearly in the second theme. You could never really hear that and the full richness of the composition on my mother's cabinet TV set with aluminum foil on the rabbit ears.
Just wonderful!!!!! Love the huge grin and swagger on the CONDUCTOR especially in the second song during the bridge and the brass is just blasting he knows it rocks and the audience loves it!!! BRAVO!!!! 😅
Me too! i wanted to find a nice recently recorded orchestral version of the classic themes (not like the weird dance remix thing from the 1998 movie) xD id love to hear a big cinematic arrangement on these Lost In Space themes like they did with the original star trek theme for the 2009 film. faithful to the original but with a modern production ^_^
I guess I have to disagree. While the first season theme is well done, the 3rd season theme as played here is much too slow and just feels clumsy. It just doesn't have the light spark of the original. The Cincinnati Pops could have done better.
@Allen Edwards Could you tell me why you didn't like the second theme? I noticed something was different, but I couldn't put my finger on it. All I know is the conductor seemed to enjoy the music for the second season.
I've watched this about 25 times today. I just discovered it this morning. It is absolutely amazing. I smile from ear to ear and get goose bumps hearing these wonderful Johnny Williams theme songs. Lost In Space is my all time favorite television series. The Cincinnati Pops Orchestra really brings these great theme songs alive again. Sounds totally awesome! 🤗 Added note: I just bluetooth linked my tablet to my vintage Kenwood stereo and listened to this again. Then I linked to my 7.2 channel Sony home theater system in my livingroom. Over 1000 watts with two sub woofers. These wonderful theme songs blow me away. The huge orchestra with all those instruments really sounds amazing!
It sounded like they sped things up for Season 3. I had no idea there were so many musicians involved, I always just pictured a couple horns and a few other instruments.
I think both theme songs are just great! Composer Johnny Williams IS a genius! I love them both, especially those awesome trumpets in the first one. Brings back memories of when I was a kid. I loved that show. It was corny, but a great fantasy show, especially for kids.
I was given a tape recorder as a little boy and I taped the Lost In Space themes and other science fiction show themes. The second season theme with the countdown and then the takeoff, soaring theme sent a thrill thru me back then. I never knew John Williams created those themes! Just like the conductor the music would weirdly inspire my career. That tape player would predict my career in radio years later as a news producer and anchor! Amazing how sound can bring back such an intense emotional memory.
Excellent! If you liked this one, also watch the stingray theme by alfie4. It's another perfect performance that, like this one, leaves you wanting to hear it again for weeks.
What a terrific rendition! Brought me back to my childhood when I would watch Lost in Space every day at 4:30 pm in 4th grade, and was transported. This brought me back to that happy place thanks...
Thank you for posting! Now if someone in you tube land could find an orchestra playing the Dark Shadows theme and the Jonny Quest theme. My 3 favorite TV shows as a kid and still to this day
Irwin Allen was a genius, he created good TV shows for the family to watch, these Lost in Space themes bring me back to when I was a kid. Thanks for the memories.
Though I remember as a kid when the Jupiter 2 became the Happy Acres Hotel for a band of solar-system drifting hillbillies, that I said aloud, sceptically - the Jupiter 2 had guitars & straw hats on board?
Distilled joy in music form. The grin on the conductors face says it all.
Месяц назад+1
A nice,tight rendition by a full orchestra,under the conducting of Mr. Russell.It's only after isolating the score for LOST IN SPACE that one can hear the true genius of John Williams' work.
I loved this show, it was my favourite. Dr Smith and the robot were the best in the show. But I loved it all. When I retire soon I’m going to watch the whole lot again. This music has made me nostalgic. What fabulous theme music.
My brother grew up with Billy mumy aka will Robinson he was our neighbor in cheviot hills and would go with him to fox studios to watch him film. They r still close friends billy was one of the lucky ones child actors who had great parents and was and still is well adjusted and and great husband and father
If I may say, "Lost in Space" as a series is a bit complicated to try to critique. Episode 1, the series premiere, holds up amazingly well, over fifty years later, in my opinion. And the cast has pointed at that season one was quite serious, before the show's producers were asked to "camp it up," in response to the direct competition from "Batman." I haven't seen much from Season 3 lately, but I recall a return to seriousness as the competition changed. There is more to the story, of course...
I blast this 4x a week
Tag your it!
I've been hearing these two in my head for over 50 years.
Never gets old.
Sounds even better at 1.25 speed.
You're lost buddy..... me to!!!
Yes it rocks, just love that sexy brass in the second version which was from season 3!!🎉
I LOVE THE SECOND VERSION OF THIS SONG!!!
me, too. that crescendo in the beginning sends shivers down my spine.
Anybody else feel like a kid again?
1000%
Exactly! Such memories.
Yea I do.And my family loved that show.I being born in the late 60s.
Saw this on local tv station.The
late actor Johnathan Harris .Comes
to mind didn't know John Williams
did TV show theme.
Yes! DANGER! DANGER!
@@tri-ox9508 absolutely, Will Robinson
I'm 63 yrs old and this is my favorite show growing up. I was so envious of Penny and Will living in space 💓
By all accounts both Angela Cartwright and Billy Mumy had a great time making the show.
Same here , made me love science fiction and future technology
I am 61 and love the show

I'm so glad they played both back to back. There is a big difference.
Right in the feels…. Joy to my heart, and a literal tear to my eye.
This was so good that when I jumped up to applaud, I hurt my back.
Oh, the pain, the pain!!
You bubble headed buoy! Get over here and rub my aching back you bumbling bowl of bolts! 😁

I attended a John Williams tribute at Powell Symphony Hall, St Louis back in 2008.
I was blown away.
Great childhood memories. Rewatching it years later and seeing Johnny Williams in the credits, I thought...what are the chances? Thanks for taking me back to those times of adventure!
Lost in Space and Jonny Qwest were two of my favorite scores as a kid.
Love the way the conductor is really getting into the second theme.
He did admit to being a geek 🤓
What a FABULOUS orchestra!
He's having a blast
Do you know , if theme of a television show can bring A tear to your eye and joy to your heart it was truly magical
Agreed!
Yeah it got me by the feels too

STAT TREK: THE ORIGINAL SERIES
😢😢😢😢😢
Recovering from a back injury (at age 64) has given me the chance to watch all three seasons in less than a month. I can still remember watching the show in the 1960's as a young kid. We'd be outside playing and "drop everything" and run in to watch (7pm?). Some things never grow old.

I hope you're recovering well🙏
I can't get enough of the show or theme songs either!❤
If you haven’t. Check out the new lost in space. It’s great in its own way!
Maybe John Williams thought his music was okay and that this was just another paycheck, but what he probably didn't realize was that it would endure for so long. That, and the fact that he became one of the most prolific and one of the greatest composers ever of the modern era.

John Williams' music makes every single cell in my body jump and dance.
It doesn't get much closer to God than that...
❤
Being filled with the Holy Spirit will.
I'm 60 and re-living those after-school watch parties in the family room. Thanks!
You (REALLY) make me cry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm not crying, you're crying. I just got something in my eye.
John Williams wrote so many different things and affected everyone's life. gave society "That flavor" of everything he touched. Left quite a legacy. Color that paint by number world we live in for us to hear.
2nd version just kicks ass. My favorite show as a kid
Just too far back for me. Never saw it.
@@omegamale7880 You lost out. So sorry for you.
Mine too. Loved being home sick and watching reruns of these amazing shows on daytime TV (early 1970’s). Wish I was just a little older so I could’ve seen the original broadcasts at night on our huge 10” TV 😅
I was born when Season 3 was released.
John Williams did Lost in Space? Didn't know that! Epic theme tune. Just beautiful.
Johnnie Williams
The joy in the conductor's face when they swing into the 3rd season theme was such fun to see! He was really enjoying himself with this one!
Absolutely great rendition!
Purely superb. I’m feeling 10 years old again!!!
Good job. In my opinion, John Williams is the best conductor to have lived.
Totally agree, and best composer!!
It was absolutely one of the best science fiction shows ever!
I don't care how corny or cheesy it got, it was so engaging and delightful.
@@BrianWolters2112 The Time Tunnel was Terrific Too!!!!!
@@scottmiller6495 Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea!
Penny....
"Johnny Williams" goes way back to when he was a Hollywood session pianist for the "Peter Gunn" theme. The guy didn't stop!
In a few days I'll be sixty two, but right now I'm smiling like a kid again. This brings back such wonderful memories. Great renditions!
Happy 62th almost a year late, ill be 57 in two months and i know the feeling.
54 here...but smiling!...a current rendition that doesn't attempt to 'modernize'!...love it!
With better writing, what could it have been...?
I remember watching Lost in space...munching on Jiffy Pop popcorn
solovoyager 64! For 6 more months! I get to sing my Beatles song, When I’m 64! Everyday. Next year it’s obsolete. “If you don’t love me by now, you missed the train, folks!” I loved this Johnny Williams music!
John Williams - what a treasure!
Mind blown. Doubley blown considering John Williams was knocking it out of the park in the late sixties and still does today, having just taken another oscar nom for Rise of Skywalker (hideous film) and in 2021 written a violin concerto
God, I so loved that opening to Season Three!
Appointment television when
I was 4. I will always love this theme better.
I'm so glad they include the "countdown" portion of the the third season theme. Both are really well done but I never realized how much that 3rd season theme can swing! Outstanding work in this arrangement!
I remember the graphics of Season 3 opening so well! Amazing how seeing these brings you right back to that time.
"include". Well except for the all-important FIRST MEASURE.
what a fun thing to see and hear!
When I was a kid, I remember watching Lost in Space instead of doing my homework. I think the time was better spent watching Lost in Space.
Actually, John Williams started doing TV scores in 1958. He had already been composing for *seven years* when he did Lost in Space.
Thank you. Shed some tears here
Me too! What's wrong with me?
I literally get chills every time I hear this performance.
I got the chills when they started the second one wich was actually the original wich I loved!!
They were both effective themes. I am partial to the Seacom Three Theme. This is probably the best job I have here with this music.
I strange that I found this today. I just finish watching the last episode of Lost In Space on blu ray. It was fun to have them back in my life for three seasons.
This was amazing. Great to hear John Williams early work.
I just love how you can hear the low brass so clearly in the second theme. You could never really hear that and the full richness of the composition on my mother's cabinet TV set with aluminum foil on the rabbit ears.

Season 3 of Lost in Space is the best theme ever. The Cincinnati Pops did an awesome job!
That closing theme tho! Forgot all about it. What a sound memory.
Without a doubt, the best live renditions of BOTH Lost In Space themes I have ever heard! Fantastic arrangements, so faithful to the original! BRAVO!
i Totaly agree.
Me too! i wanted to find a nice recently recorded orchestral version of the classic themes (not like the weird dance remix thing from the 1998 movie) xD id love to hear a big cinematic arrangement on these Lost In Space themes like they did with the original star trek theme for the 2009 film. faithful to the original but with a modern production ^_^

Probably is the original !!!
This is so great!!!!
The conductor looks like he's having a good time, especially on the second version.
That music can make any composer happy!

@@davidpanetta6400 I think it's because for some reason they played it in a lower pitch, almost like it's slowed down. Still a great rendition tho
The 2 great opening themes aside,
the incidental scary bits of dread was what I adored.
Loved this show as a kid. That theme was my absolute favorite. I dont think anything has ever topped it for me
john williams was and is a genius
Here we are in the 2020s yet the Robot had the teeniest battery pack imaginable and just went on forever. If only my EV did the same.

Thank you for listening, and for listening 25 times! We're so happy you enjoyed the video :)
Season 3 theme is the best theme and the one of the most iconic. Even, the opening credits match up to the intensity of it. Awesome!
It sounded like they sped things up for Season 3. I had no idea there were so many musicians involved, I always just pictured a couple horns and a few other instruments.
@@robbarnes3507with the huge Cincinnati Pops Orchestra you lose some of the dominant shrill shrieking piccolo you get in the original
@@robbarnes3507 Remember, this wasn't the orchestra playing for the TV show; this is years later. The pit orchestra for TV was likely much smaller.
Right! Thats why this is a much fuller sound. Good Point.
@@rotunda57
I could listen to this and the Jonny Quest theme every day
I wonder if the orchestra enjoys performing these pieces as much as I love hearing them?
First time hearing the Pops do this: I turned it waaaay up and jammed to it! Thank you, Cincinnati!
I wish there was a "heart" button like on facebook, this is brilliant.
💓 How's that?
I wish there was more than just a thumbs up or down.
Takes me back 😄Similar to Star Wars. A bit lighthearted and jazzy.
Those sounded incredible, exactly like the themes from the series. Excellent job Cincinnati Pops, kudos to you!!!
I think both theme songs are just great! Composer Johnny Williams IS a genius! I love them both, especially those awesome trumpets in the first one. Brings back memories of when I was a kid. I loved that show. It was corny, but a great fantasy show, especially for kids.
I always liked the second one better, but I like both more than any of his other work. :)
Has to be the best theme music ever for a TV show..like the season 3 version best..
Good stuff..
And now I want that spaceship!
VERY WONDERFULL
I never realized how intricate these themes were. Fine pieces of music!🎶
Listen to this again and again awesome im 64
Idem, e eu, 61 anos
Best I have ever heard of these songs.
Around 2:26, the conductor can no longer contain himself. He's having the time of his life, and he's going to let it show!
That's the "rock" phrase that they asked Williams to insert as a response to the hipper "Batman" theme. Looks like it worked.
It's within the definition of 'geek', which he admits to.
Was no doubt my favorite as a child!! Almost like an addiction. I HAD to watch, or it became a crisis!!😂🤣
I was given a tape recorder as a little boy and I taped the Lost In Space themes and other science fiction show themes. The second season theme with the countdown and then the takeoff, soaring theme sent a thrill thru me back then. I never knew John Williams created those themes!

it was such a magical time.
Yes, and on the cusp of landing on the moon. Every kid was thrilled.
WOW that was GREAT! I was 7 in 1965
Lost in Space. Hawaii Five-O. Quantum Leap. There were some really great Theme Songs back in the day.
Hawaii 5.0 rocked the small screen, It was the Miami Vice theme of the hippy era.
That... was fantastic! Exactly like the original - dynamic, powerful, and spirited.
What a terrific rendition! Brought me back to my childhood when I would watch Lost in Space every day at 4:30 pm in 4th grade, and was transported. This brought me back to that happy place thanks...
Same thing, same time in central VA. Those were good times.
@@kevincage1641 Hey Kevin- cool! Yes they were. I ended up going to college at UVA in Charlottesville, I imagine nearby where you lived.
So glad this came on my feed !!!
I love them both, but I always thought the second season’s music brought out more of the adventure in the music
Are you referring to the theme song? The 1st and 2nd seasons had the same theme music. The 3rd season had the new theme.
The season three theme evokes a sense of wonder, as well as a sense of adventure.
Lo mas parecido , muy bien , chulada de interpretación .
The first theme sounds like someone took curiosity and made a music score out of it, the second theme is the same thing, except with adventure.
Thank you for posting! Now if someone in you tube land could find an orchestra playing the Dark Shadows theme and the Jonny Quest theme. My 3 favorite TV shows as a kid and still to this day

The second lost in space theme, and the theme from Jonny quest are two of the most iconic television themes that were ever written.

To this day I often hum the later 'Lost in Space' theme song. Great music from a great show. Thanks!
