I was in the second row at this concert. It changed my life. Holy Frak is Bear McCreary the Awesome. The rest of his musicians (incl. the bad-ass on the fiddle in the white jacket, center stage right) are amazing. Also - the singer is Bear's brother, Brendan. :)
the best song from one of the greatest TV shows ever made. Bear Mc Creary is a LEGEND end of, awards come and go but people WILL be listening to his outstanding music for years to come, mainly because when I meet anyone who HASN'T heard at least this track, I tie them to a chair and make them listen to it. as of yet I've not had a single person I've played this too fail to acknowledge that this is a fantastic version of the song, and Bear McCreary is a musical genius.
My friend I think you're forgetting that there are many here among us, who feel that life is but a joke. This piece of art transcends beyond the need of qualification or validation, that fact that it still impacts our lives, and we come back to it time and time again shows it's worth.
bears work in season 3 and 4 is the best tv music of all time, the way it intergrates with the show and characters was genius and the man deserves far more recognition, he is brilliant. cant believe he didnt win more rewards.
First I became addicted to Battlestar Gallactica, then I became a fan of their version of All Along the Watchtower and now I am fascinated by Bear McCreary. Awesome!!!
@larsreal9 My interpretation has been that BSG gives us a perspective that life is repeating rhythm, and that with each passing iteration it is slightly different bringing with it a unique twist on something old and familiar. You can chose to take comfort in the traditions that are passed on, or leap into the unknown and hope that eventually the pattern will evolve so much as to break the cycle and start something... revolutionary.. and then it starts all over...
I really wish this world was real, this song makes me cry...I loved this episode...and the ones that followed. Battlestar Galactica was amazing, start to finish...
pure awesomeness ...I don't think a better soundtrack could ever be composed.Battlestar Galactica was/is the greatest form of entertainment ever conceived.
This is how the song was introduced on the show. Flashbacks of her trying to learn the song as a child and then when she was an adult. Incorporating that into a concert is awesome!
I was at this performance and it was absolutely mindblowing. The minute they started playing the opening bars to "Watchtower" we knew it was going to be like nothing else we'd ever heard... nad we were right! Thanks for posting this :)
Gee whiz, Katee and Bear! I absolutely love you Katee! And I am forever in Bear McCreary's debt for his incredible talent. His music absolutely is the most perfect backdrop for the best show in the history of the world. Thank you for spending this special time with your adoring fans!
I actually posted this on another BSG page but anyway: Many of the moments of revelation on BSG were absolutely riveting and haunting television and I think a lot of that is due to Bear McCreary's score. I think it's a great testament to the artist that the writers had his music become so intwined with the actual series that it became an actual plot-point, it made it all the more powerful when scenes like "Kara Remembers" played themselves out.
This songs is so mystic and alluring ! It caries something dark and scary and has this cathartic emotion.It approaches slowly like a tidal wave that splashes over sores of endless human mind that can be an equal to endless cosmos and opportunities it offers . The most amazing moment for me was the magical transcendence from the Tomb of Athene to the Planet Earth,were all the constellations were visible on skies.Very dramatic ,deeply intriguing! Exalting atmoshpere
@NappyFanBoy yeah, Katee Sackhoff is the actress that plays Kara 'Starbuck' Thrace, and she joins Bear McCreary on stage to play 'Kara Remembers' which is the piano intro on this track, then when the other instruments kick in the song changes to Heeding the call, and finally the song speeds up and the lyrics kick in for All Along the Watchtower. truely a Magnum Opus, Bear McCreary should be proud, he has created something truely Epic with this version of a longstanding clasic. So Say We All!
Loved BSG one of the best series ever Sci-fi or not and I don't consider myself a Sci-fi guy. Katie Sackhoff was one of the best of the excellent actors in the series. Love this rendition of Dylan's song and I'm a huge, huge Dylan fan, great stuff!!!!
Bear McCreary really did an excellent job on the music of BSG. It was the best science fiction show on tv. This is nothing on tv that compares to it right now.
This is amazing, really. I love this show. I don't have TV (not enough stuff worth watching) but I've been watching Battlestar on the DVDs recently, in Season 4 now. When I first saw this episode with this music coming on combined with what was happening in the show my jaw just dropped, seriously amazing. Best show ever!
Oh my goodness! This is bliss to my ears, back and over again. I love this song, the music for BSG made BSG. Bear McCreary is a fucking genius. If you love music, listen to some Puscifer as well. Just as disturbingly amazing to the ears..
This concert was amazing, the one in San Diego last year was incredible. Bear McCreary has some of the best soundtracks on TV and makes the work day just fly by.
@matrix0071 agreed, the fans will make sure this show i watched and loved forever. Emmy means little in the long term scheme of things. In 30 years when its still watched and talked about, no one will remember what won emmys.
At least BSG got the fandom it deserves. A once great idea rolled out in a plot I never would have believed someone could bring and for the music? Just
ITS IN THE FRAKIN SHIP!
Don't forget to look at all my BSG Concert videos!
This is Cylon sabotage aboard the ship, sabotage with music, yeah))))
+BeginBye Now if the Cylons were playing Beastie Boys.....
awwwwwwwwwwwwww can't stand it! I know ya planned it!
Bear is always awesome - but this cover will always be the one that really rings home to me.
"Where have you taken us, Kara?"
BSG 4 ever. so say we all!
I was in the second row at this concert. It changed my life.
Holy Frak is Bear McCreary the Awesome. The rest of his musicians (incl. the bad-ass on the fiddle in the white jacket, center stage right) are amazing. Also - the singer is Bear's brother, Brendan. :)
Brilliant! I love how Sackhoff sort of just... runs away ;)
the best song from one of the greatest TV shows ever made.

I kept hearing this song in my head all day. Then I began to humming it everywhere I walked. Best day at work ever!
In Memoriam: Jimi Hendrix would be 71 years old today... he made it popular, Bear McCreary took it, and shot it up into deep space. :-)

Battlestar Galactica is as deep as this song, all those feelings, thoughts, characters are just amazing
Check the drummer in the centre at 5:16 for an epic stick recovery lol.
I couldn't sit through a whole concert, couldn't bear constant goosebumps and shivers for 1-2 hours.
Everytime i listen this version of the song,it takes me to the outter space , far away of the universe.
'Frakking Nice!'
This shit is here since 2009 and i only see Katee actually playing it now?
bruh dont even get me started, just got here lol
pure awesomeness ...I don't think a better soundtrack could ever be composed.Battlestar Galactica was/is the greatest form of entertainment ever conceived.

I would kill to see Bear McCreary, Composer concert!!! My favorite composer from my favorite show!
Matheus Betinelli I think I would die if i was in one of his concert !
AverageJocelyn yes!!! would kill and die for it!!! hahaha
+Matheus Betinelli As long as I download to the front row!
+Matheus Betinelli Then you'd resurrect :P
One of the best written shows I've seen, pure genius.
I can't watch this video enough. It gives me LIFE.
Frakking FANTASTIC !!
Can I have a " SO SAY WE ALL " ?
I can't really get tired of this song..... !!
Goodbumps here too. I think it's time I go watch the series for a third time just for the chilling moments when this song plays.
I was at this performance and it was absolutely mindblowing. The minute they started playing the opening bars to "Watchtower" we knew it was going to be like nothing else we'd ever heard... nad we were right!
Thanks for posting this :)
I get chills without fail. I get chills.
This is by far the best version of this song. I could watch this video all day!
So Say We All
Starbuck. The most complex character ever. She will live forever in our hearts.
Gee whiz, Katee and Bear! I absolutely love you Katee! And I am forever in Bear McCreary's debt for his incredible talent. His music absolutely is the most perfect backdrop for the best show in the history of the world. Thank you for spending this special time with your adoring fans!
The music in this show is top notch. Amazing scoring. Just beautiful!
I literally get chills listening to this. Literally ... it's such an amazing wave of sound to my ears that I feel physically effected.

Totally awesome! Props also to the violinist, he actually made violin cool for 6 minutes and 11 seconds :)
Bear McCreary really did an excellent job on the music of BSG. It was the best science fiction show on tv. This is nothing on tv that compares to it right now.
Guaranteed goosebumps every time i watch this.
This is amazing, really. I love this show. I don't have TV (not enough stuff worth watching) but I've been watching Battlestar on the DVDs recently, in Season 4 now.

Excellent video! Thanks for posting this! (And thanks to Bear McCreary for such great music!)
As if this song could not get any more awesome. I wish I could find a recording of this.
This concert was amazing, the one in San Diego last year was incredible. Bear McCreary has some of the best soundtracks on TV and makes the work day just fly by.

I love the enthousiasm of the violinists :D
I wish I could erase BSG from my mind and watch it again as if it were the first time... frak... I so fraking love this show!!!

Gods, what is it about that fracking song!?
John Cavil It's in the FRAKKIN ship!
+John Cavil Hearing it more often?
All the fraking time! lol
John Cavil Hmmmm....maybe there's some meaning behind it all?
Tell me, do the numbers 1123, 6536, 5321 hold any specific meaning for you?
NorthForkFisherman ...Gotta be some sorta way outta here! lol
wish I was there. if they ever come to northern Cali I'm going!
I agree, I remember being covered in goose bumps.
That is frakkin' epic, gonna try and learn this song my self.
The Music of BSG is/was fantastic! I love it
At least BSG got the fandom it deserves. A once great idea rolled out in a plot I never would have believed someone could bring and for the music? Just
So amazing!!!
miss that show!
Via Bear's Blog, this new version entitled "Kara Remembers"/"Heading The Call"/"All Along The Watchtower" will be on the Season 4 soundtrack.
well done on this man...this is the only video ive found worth rating
@geniusface
I agree. This deserves 10 stars. Especially Katie Sackhoff playing the intro & scampering away.
Fraking awesome!!
I wonder how many people were there but didnt see or know it was Katee playing on stage until they got home and saw it on youetube...
This is awesome, SO SAY WE ALL.
