agree - just takes you back like no other theme song

now this is music use to watch this show when i was little

The best cop TV show ever... I have started watching it from start again.. And the Theme music is unforgettable.

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 is beyond good. Nice memories from the 80s…

This put a huge smile on my face! Love it!

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................

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.

Amazing song - send you back through time 😊 love it 😉👌☀️

Brings back a lot of memories, good stuff 👍

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

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.

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"

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 looking for the "institutional version". Couldn't find it. But was not disappointed because he nailed it like I thought he would...note-for-note; phrase-for-phrase. Amazing.

one of THE COOLEST things i have ever seen...

Esa cancion me trae muchos recuerdos muy agadables esta muy bonita es un blues que agradable gracias por esos recuerdos feliccitaciones

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 ❤

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.

I never watched this show but undoubtedly one of the greatest themes from any show!

It was the greatest police TV drama, with the greatest TV theme tune.

Grew up on this show

In those days I didn´t know who Larry Carlton was. I know now! Thanks for sharing!

Love!!! My fav theme song!

from Japan this song is great

Thank you

Hill Street!!❤❤❤

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!

So good it gave me chills.

Such sweet memories 💖

Put simply… a classic! This is one of those tunes that marks a generation. Great tune for a great show.

I love that lead such a great riff

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

Larry is the GOAT

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.

Notice how Larry is joking before the solo, but once it starts, he is dead serious. Main man.

Instant nostalgia. Just add Carlton.

Song starts at 1:55

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.

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.

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

So beautifully nostalgic

My last name is Gibson. Never cared for Gibson guitars (always Fender) but after hearing this live - I gotta get one!

My childhood awww memories

Great arrangement!

Peace Officer Tune…👍🥃

Favorite childhood show, oh wait Magnum PI 🤣

Iconic

いつ聞いても素敵です🥰

This is excellent, but my favorite performance of this song was done by Carter Guitar.

Why does this make us think of our parents? I know nostalgia but this is different. Beautiful music.

01:52 Start of song.

Happy days 👍😉

Hill Street Blues available right now on channel 4

Great, but I miss the Mini Moog note bending parts....

HEY........Let's be careful out there.

Great but I wish Larry had also used the volume pedal here like on the original.

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

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.

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

it helps to have 2 black guys in the band on rhythm

Does this tune make anybody else hair on the back of your neck stand up?

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

joe spano look like the ted turner own hanna barbera

The music starts at 02:00 and sounds fuck all like the Hill St Blues theme. Lots of nurdling for cash. :

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