I remembered this in 1983 I was 9 years old every school night I would be watching it! Bringing back memories in my childhood. Now I 'm 48 1/2 years ago today 2023!
My all time favourite series with an all time favourite theme tune which should have been used for the whole entirety of the V story ! It was so frighteningly brilliant ! I just love it !
Thank you so much for the excellent and flawless work, and for staying true to the original! It is almost incredible how perfectly this music captures the essence of the movie - unsettling and dark, intense and determined. Simply amazing...
Loved the original and this. Everyone trying to cash-in on Star Wars tried to be Star Wars, this one went off into dark horror, Nazi allegories, it was freakin' awesome.
I love this!! V was my all time favourite TV series. Barry de Vorzon's sinister score really brought out the dark motives of the Visitors. I never even knew there was an extended version of the Final Battle theme but I am so grateful for this upload! Thank you 🙏
Those clicky noises! The foot stomping like troops marching!! Barry deVorzon also wrote the theme to Looker. It had a similar, unrelenting ostinato that was foreboding and pounding. And campy and dramatic. Perfect music!
When I was a kid and first heard this I always got an image in my head of soldiers matching through streets when you hear the drums beats. I still get that image in my head.
This take me way back! What an awesome series and one of my top-10 Sci-Fi! And Diana! 😲😳 I have the series on DVD and I plan to start watching it at some point! 👍🏾😁
My best description of the music is techno-tribal. Savagely Ominous in its simplicity and Epic in its endurance through the decades. Once you hear it, you will never forget it. Another musical gem from the fantabulous 80s.
Man, I love this theme music. I remember watching the original miniseries back as a kid. If my memory is correct (if someone knows for sure, by all means, please correct me!) I think that NBC re-broadcast the first miniseries ("V", which originally aired in May 1983) in May 1984, as a lead-in to the second mini-series, ("V - The Final Battle"). I was stoked, because my 11th birthday was coming up the week following V the Final Battle, and as a Sci-Fi nut, it was like an early birthday present! I remember using an old VCR with a wired remote control to tape the series as I watched, so that I could cut out the commercials for my parents when they watched it later. I would periodically hum/whistle this theme song over the years, especially when I wanted to get "pumped up" before tackling a challenge. Let's destroy some creepy fascist extraterrestrial geckos!
Absolutely the best series I have ever watched. Would have loved an international version of V in which sworn enemies become brothers-in-arms against a common enemy.
Yeeeesss!!....Thank you so much @gillesnuytens for this extended & remastered version, because the original is too short (2min) as you said...Thank you for your work, and thank you for #BarryDeVorzon & #JosephConlan for this main tiltle theme who marked me during my adolescence, and of course without forgetting this cult series created by #KennethJohnson 🪐🌍🛸👽🐍 #V
@@ruthmccarthy8281 The drums are amazing. Almost as good as “The Lord’s Prayer” featuring Mark Williams with the WOWorship Choir & Orchestra 0:02 / 5:35 "How Great Thou Art" featuring StikYard
" To the heroism of the Resistance Fighters - past, present, and future - this work is respectfully dedicated " - Nice touch! =) I've just been going through your videos. You do great work. You obviously have a lot of respect for the sources. Thank you and keep up the good work!
This intro is epic! As a kid in the 80's very few TV shows combined fear and fascination the way V did. And this soundtrack, this specific intro is the perfect match. I can remember when I heard this as a kid and freaked out. Awesome. I hope they reboot it again and use the old school lizards and not that CGI junk around 2009 :-)
Way back, when the TV show was current, CD’d did not exist. Nor did internet. If you heard it on TV and liked it you had to get out a tape recorder and a C90 and record it. The results were often poor. Then a few years later the tape broke, and it was gone forever. Then someone did this. 👍
I think the synth music in the background is the sinister part, no doubt, but I think that the drums are symbolic of the resistance. Drumming like that is tribal. Primal. Human. Those drums would be played by the people banding together, rising up and marching towards making a stand.
best of the best ... incredible sound, amazing ambiance, genious, intemporel !!! .... 40 years and it rock better than many ost today ..... BRAVO !!!! I just cant get enough....« To the heroism of the Resistance Fighters - past, present, and future - this work is respectfully dedicated » today more than ever ! Slava Ukraini ! Heroyam Slava !

Intemporel...énorme ....d'autant plus que cela rejoint et montre ce qu'il se passe actuellement...petite je ressentais ce devenir là, confirmée par cette série hors norme à qui sait voir et entendre...
Il y au moins deux façons différentes de comprendre votre allusion. La première est évidemment politique, la seconde va au-delà ; dans les deux cas, nos "visiteurs" présentent d'ores et déjà une apparence trompeuse, comme dans la série. A qui sait voir et entendre !
My favorite sci-fi show when I was a kid. When you found out the aliens were reptilian, the series really ramped up. Even watched the entire series after the Final Battle was done.
A mis 45 años aún espero que continúen con la serie V. No se porque dejaron de emitirla...solo tengo los 23 capítulos que dieron en VHS.... Una auténtica gozada
El público manda. Los índices d audiencia no fueron considerados óptimos x la productora y dejó d rodarse. Millones d series han acabado con 1 cliffhanger.
The 1st miniseries theme has its charm, but this one really sets the mood. Relentless & creates a very real sense of dread. I feel like the Visitors/Sirians are hunting me down TV soundtracks have a limited time to set the mood & the "Final Battle" main theme is very economical. No screwing around here. While I enjoy Huyten's expanding the piece, the TV theme does more world building w/the time it has.
Listening this musical theme reminds me when I saw the scene that Jane Badler as Diana who was one of the visitors is planning the next action so suddenly she took a live mouse and she ate it. 🐁🐁🐁🎥🎥🎥🎞️🎞️🎞️🎬🎬🎬🎬😖😖
The show was basically an allegory for a fascist takeover, but in the guise of science fiction. The aliens showed up in disguise, pretending to be our friends, but having rather horrifying true intentions. Thankfully, we had horror actor Robert Englund (famous for his portrayal of Freddy Krueger) as the genuinely friendly, funny, and heroic visitor Willie, showing that even among evil invaders, there's still good to be found.
My sister Sue absolutely loves and adores this show (Sue will be 50 next year) she has The Original Miniseries, The Final Battle and the 19 part Series (didn’t like the remake at all and should never have been made as it was perfect as it was, according to Sue❤) and has all the novels,several magazines, photos and t-shirts, that’s how much she loves it (her favourite was Frank Ashmore who played Martin/Philip, though she loved Willie too who was very funny and adorable for a lizard). It’s hard to believe that it’s 40 years old this year and the story is still very relevant to this day. We shouldn’t take our planet for granted and must do what we can to take care of it as for all we know there could be an alien race out there who plan to invade us one day?❤❤
And the scariest thing isn't that aliens disguised as humans stealing or keeping resources but real humans wanting to get resources killing others in the process and not caring at all-

I'm 45 now, but still filled with terror when I hear this music. Still remember it vividly from when I was a little boy.
I'm 43 so I was probably more captivated by it haha , brilliant series!
Same - it’s an amazing piece of music. You can almost hear the boots of the shock troopers and the resistance pushing back against them.
Agree! Very haunting, as if soldiers were marching in the streets.
I’m 44 and was terrified by the birth of the lizard baby!
I remembered this in 1983 I was 9 years old every school night I would be watching it! Bringing back memories in my childhood. Now I 'm 48 1/2 years ago today 2023!
One of the best theme of any TV show ever.
I am 54 this was and is still my favorite tv of all time!
This piece of music was decades ahead of its time
That would make sense if today's music was good. But since it's not, your comment doesn't make any sense.
Agreed. Unforgettable. I remember it while it was on the tv in the 80's , and as a small child not being able to watch it. Chills.
@@MrCarpen7er Exactly. As a matter of fact it reminds a lot "The terminator"
@@MrCarpen7er🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This thing was like the best music ever on the TV show back when I was a kid
Yeah, the first reptilian face reveal shocked the entire Western world.
@@petitemasque5784the special effects were ground breaking for the time, and honestly still better than alot of the crap out there right now!
I listen to this often. This defines the times we are in now.

I was just a kid when this series came out. This was a great series imo. There was a remake of it but nothing beats the original.
The remake had its moments, but did not retain enough of what made the tv minny series great.
I was 9 years old 1983 watching "V", after school
Loved the original and this. Everyone trying to cash-in on Star Wars tried to be Star Wars, this one went off into dark horror, Nazi allegories, it was freakin' awesome.
Space nazis is the only way US could experience the fear of invasion and the terror of occupation.
I love this!! V was my all time favourite TV series. Barry de Vorzon's sinister score really brought out the dark motives of the Visitors. I never even knew there was an extended version of the Final Battle theme but I am so grateful for this upload! Thank you 🙏
There wasn't, so I made it myself.
@@GillesNuytensYes I noticed it halfway through, sorry I was just so engrossed in the track lol. But seriously well done and thank you :)
@@padmac8176 Glad you thought it was an official version!
@@GillesNuytens You did justice to the original series.
I watched this on TV every week as it came out. The series' message is still relevant today.
It still sounds great today. Love a synth theme tune
The audio sound so clean and crisp. Love the mini series and the Final Battle of one of the 80's best Sci Fi acclaim television series.
Those clicky noises! The foot stomping like troops marching!! Barry deVorzon also wrote the theme to Looker. It had a similar, unrelenting ostinato that was foreboding and pounding. And campy and dramatic. Perfect music!
This serie was truly a masterpiece. Great job man for hight quality sound!
This sounds AMAZING! Very good sound quality and edit.
Man this brings me back. I remember watching this as a kid. I purchased the entire series on amazon prime.
This music is so good, it should be the music that is used to tease V coming back in any form.
Nice job cleaning it up. Most versions on here have loads of hiss...
When I was a kid and first heard this I always got an image in my head of soldiers matching through streets when you hear the drums beats. I still get that image in my head.
With me it was soldiers skipping and dancing...I kid you not.
The Drums, can't you hear the Drums!
@@freakwilliams There are no drums. There are boots impacting the ground like a march of nazi soldiers
There is something very encompassing and threatening about this music, as it engulfs you.
I was 13 years old and still in my mind... thanks !
I was 12!! Same here!!
This take me way back! What an awesome series and one of my top-10 Sci-Fi! And Diana! 😲😳 I have the series on DVD and I plan to start watching it at some point! 👍🏾😁

Best mini series on tv
This remastered version is bad ass!!! Thank you!!!
"...This theme is respectfully dedicated to all fighters past, present and future..."
This is eerie yet addictive.
Absolutely the best series I have ever watched. Would have loved an international version of V in which sworn enemies become brothers-in-arms against a common enemy.
One of my top favorite shows back then. As a 9 or 10 year old kid, I used to walk around whistling this theme. I bet it creeped some people out 😆
love this theme . Want it as a ringtone
The most beautiful generation! after us there will be nothing guys
Yes, Christ will return and over turn the antichrist beast system.
Tell something I didn't know.
Absolutely wonderful rendition.
Thank you!!!!
excellent work, thank you. for sure in the top 5 all time tv themes

Honestly i love Dennis McCarthy's theme it has that badass epic brass and strings presence along with the synth .
Love the back ground music for this series. It does not seem like they make the effort for many tv shows or cartoons any more.
Excellent le remix. Bravo. j'adore cette série.

We are! So true!
Not yet.

This and the theme to The Terminator are in my opinion the 2 greatest TV/Movie themes ever made
I disagree because you forget about this theme...ua-cam.com/video/c8QNTsOJ1kc/v-deo.html

Back in the day we had vhs tapes to record episodes, missed a couple and reviewing the series knew the few I missed!
If Warner Bros. had any brains, the complete score would be released on CD and vinyl by Watertower Music! Peace.
Scary to me even till this day...

This horror that is triggered in you, just by the music.
You should watch the series, to understand to what depths of horror the "Visitors" are capable of.
