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'm so glad they played both back to back. There is a big difference.

@@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.

Appointment television when I was 4. I will always love this theme better.

Those sounded incredible, exactly like the themes from the series. Excellent job Cincinnati Pops, kudos to you!!!

Best I have ever heard of these songs.

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.

Fantastic renditions of the two opening themes to the Greatest Show Of All Time!

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 LOVE THE SECOND VERSION OF THIS SONG!!!

Pure genius composing in my time!

ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!!

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.

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.

I have always wanted to see a live performance of John Williams Lost in Space music. Thank you!

Man, I got the chills from this. Bravo!

Definitely one of my favorite shows growing up, Star Trek, voyage to the bottom of the Sea, Land of the Giants, I highly agree with the person that said the second version of Lost in space really kicks ass

Oh the pain, the pain! Loved this & what a journey back in time to my childhood! Still amazes me to see an orchestra perform the music from a film or tv show. When one sees a film one just hears the music and doesn't generally hive any thought to how it came to be, that an orchestra on a sound stage brought the film to life.

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.

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!

Still one of my favorites and cools theme 🎧 song and tv series, classic

This is so freakin' great. I am so glad that I am not the only one who just adores these TV themes. The 2nd version of "Lost in Space" is by far, my favorite TV theme of all time.

There's something so bold about the intro to the second theme when the countdown appears on screen. It was a great, jarring transition from the cold open to the intro. It feels like four successive shots of adrenaline to pump you up for what's to come. The first one is classic and fits the initial tone of a show titled "Lost in Space." It was more peril and intrigue than high adventure. The second theme has a heroic flair, a bit of tongue-in-cheek that fits the shows transition to color. It also begins Williams's knack for nesting multiple themes into one. Star Wars, E.T., Raiders, Superman, and Harry Potter all had a variety of themes for the the same thing - not simply the use of leitmotif. I can't pick a favorite example, but the one that leaps out to me is Superman. In his main march there are two distinct and equally indelible and iconic themes. I've always wondered which one people would sing more if you randomly asked 100 people.

Cool! No one today could produce such artistic compositions! The baby boomers had the best in TV, music and entertainment!
