"My name is Saul Tigh. I am an officer in the Colonial Fleet. Whatever else I am... whatever else it means... that's the man I want to be. And if I die today - that's the man I'll be."
If I remember the story behind this right, it wasn't planned for her to play. But she was at the show, so they brought her on stage. It'd been years since she shot that episode of course, so Bear's kinda guiding her from the next octave down. Then she gets in to the groove and has fun with it.
That is cool. But what are the odds she just happened to be there? I’m not a big believer in coincidence. Still, a great story. Love the show and love the music even more. Lately I’ve had the opera house song in my head so I have been watching the concert over and over hopping to get it out, but enjoying the frack out of it every time.
Imagine it, Katee getting the call "Hey Katee, how would you like to play all the bad timed notes of the intro for All Along The Watchtower, -as i f you can't play the piano, on stage in front of 10.000 people, together with about 16 masters degrees in music in the band?" -of course she is smiling :) :)
Nothing will top it... The Expanse maybe. BSG was even prophetic from future to past. Brilliantly made. It touches so many mysteries of our own birth of civilization and it has elements that are probably historically and accurately alien in nature, remembered in caves or Summerian tablets... there is something there...
Try about any "german medieval rock" band ... try irish violinists - "Granuaile's Dance" (Mairead Nesbitt) is a suggestion, but some Riverdance performances work too.
2003-2008 were a great time for science fiction - firefly, hitchhiker’s guide to the galaxy, stargate sg-1 and atlantis, and ofc battlestar galactica. Its when nerds truly took over the world….
Exactly. The only thing that comes close to it, that i remember is "The Poet and The Muse" song from Alan Wake. Same exact shivers, upon realizing what this song means in context of the game.
In the pilot episodes (the two parts of episode 0 if you want), there's sprinkles of the song said in various scenes. So this song is literally infused into the story. Funny part it's not Bear's doing. IMO it's somehow even better, he took the theme, made it his own and pushed this amazing musical set called BSG ost out.
I am on season 4 and when I heard this song at the end of season 3 I started rocking out to it. Granted I bought the box set of BSG because I only saw a few episodes growing up.
@@ZEOCMF You are building a Battlestar in Space Engineers? That just made me realise that Space Engineers is probably the closest game to BSG's space combat and physics.
1) I love, that Katee Sackhoff learned to play the right hand part. 2) I love, as the band starts firing up, how she does the "Eeep! This is more than I can keep up with, time to go" expression.
Still one of the most powerful scores of any science fiction television series ever made. And Katee Sackhoff brightens every room and every company she's in...
To take an ICONIC song, and make it in another way, ICONIC... is where it's at ! His use of Middle Eastern timing and instruments, with a lil Indian and Celtic, is mind blowing .
This version uses the verse rearrangement Hendrix used, and the leaping in with a guitar solo / mass is Hendrix, too. The Dylan original has been adapted a few times, and some have stuck.
Sackhoff sure ain't the purtyest gal I've ever seen but by golly she seems to be totally game for the nuttiest stuff and doesn't seem to take too much seriously.
@@basosz Yeah, I mean she's got acne an oily skin but...I've seen her channel here and even though she likes to do stuff without much clothing on, the main thing is that she's a bit 'nutso', in a good way.
I will say I’m curious for the new series. It’s supposed to take place in the same universe as the reimagined version, hopefully it would be either be about the 13th colony, and their destruction, or the first cylon war.
@@tgiacin435 It'll be choke full of PC and Woke'ism... just watch. The days of intelligent Sci-Fi are over. Fringe carried the banner somewhat after BSG but then. nothing.
@@kestrel929 cause it’s not like there was reactions to the series being changed from the original, or making the cylons human, and Starbuck and Boomer women. I’m at least gonna give it a chance before just writing it off
@@kestrel929 This was a major concern of mine as well, and I have to wonder if Ronald Moore and David Eick could pull off today what they did with the political climate back then, showing both sides of the issues WITHOUT taking sides or overdoing it. I feel they started to stray from credible reality with the polygamous bed scenes in Caprica and the coed showers in the Plan, for example, but I would be curious to see how they would present SJW's alongside conservatives in the fleet, showing both passionate sides fighting it out. Transgenders would definitely be more convincing with Cylon technology, and perhaps it would amplify the perceived rightness or wrongness of what we're doing with that today. Either way, the show was edgy enough to be the best sci-fi I've I feel like I'll ever see again. So say we all!
This show was the reason why I spent binge watching it instead of writing my assigments. It all worked out really well in the end...and I loved every minute of my time with this show :)
Same here. I met the girl who was such a huge part of forming my love of science fiction when this show came out. Even after breaking up, we still have watch parties for the final episodes of each season. Nothing will beat it for me.
I remember when the song was slowly building into the series' story up until they realised who they were. Gave me chills. Great song and one of the best Sci-Fi series I've ever seen.
Its 2024 and i still listen several times a week. This music had such an impact on me far beyond loving the show. Seeing it performed live made the music larger than life! I think Baltar's Dream is my favorite behind All Along the Watchtower and Apocalypse.
One, if not THE best or at least in the top three best musically scored TV series. TV shows for the most part were all missing a crucial character found in movies.... music. Bear created a path for TV shows which was long overdue. BSG is beautifully scored.
Agreed. Some shows might have had a good opening or closing song, but the music took a back seat until Twin Peaks came along. I think Bear did for TV what John Williams did for movies and Nobuo Uematsu did for video games. Bear has done some great stuff since BSG and grown as a composer, but I think BSG is his most important work.
Music is such a powerful thing. When it's really good, it plays the musician, not the other way around. And it's the most amazing feeling when it flows through you.
I remember drawing the BattleStar Galactica on my notebook in the class when I was a kid at the primary. I loved the first series back then and the second series more back then. Soundtracks played a major part on this. :)
My wife and I were seated on the balcony for this performance; it was a real highlight, got to meet Bear and the rest of the performers afterward. He was just turning 30; wrote all that music for the series in his 20s! Hard to believe it's been 15 years.
"Its in the ship ....it's in the fraking ship!" ... Just fraking incredible ... the passion ... the energy ...... it takes my breath away and send chills up my spine ... I remember as this song unfolded watching the show. I came out of my chair as all the pieces fell into place.... truly one of, if not the most brilliant visual and audio editing sequences in scifi history
..The first "Battlestar Galactica Live" event, featuring the music composed by Bear McCreary for the series, took place on June 13, 2009, at the House of Blues in San Diego, California. This event coincided with San Diego Comic-Con and was a special concert performance showcasing the music from the acclaimed television series "Battlestar Galactica." It was a memorable experience for fans of the show and admirers of Bear McCreary's musical contributions to the series.
Michael Hogan's mind "Frak," so captured a Timothy Leary vibe to go with that scene. His interpretation of hearing music, Katee's authority over its creation, brought context of archetype in their portrayal. Bear McCreary breached time.
Just realized that's Tina Guo on cello! This performance was absolutely stellar, but I'm a huge fan of hers and that just made it even more magical. I'm so glad you were able to share this with the world!
When this song came on, on the last episode I believe, as a huge fanatical Dylan fan I was blown away and this rendition is phenomenal as was the series!!!!!!
So many chills. BSG was my introduction to your music, Bear, and it remains absolutely one of my favorite scores to date. So excited for this to release!
I love this song and always cry through it, it's because I know that the song actually brings them to earth, it just makes me cry. I don't know what Starbuck was, I don't know what happened to the cylons, the ending was beautiful in an unsettling way. I wish there was a bow , but there's not . Pres Laura Roslin's death was so tragically sad, and beautiful... I try not to think about it too much because it'll make me cry. Like right now.
This performance had the energy of a metal concert, I love it. And gives me total chills again. I can't wait to rewatch the part where this song came up in the show
I got chills and tears as the memories of sitting the series came flooding back listening to this... So say we all and with the exception of the expense with never had a serious come even close to this kind of quality in years ., and the music and the music itself is priceless it's it's own character
I'd had a fellow geek friend that I'd tried to get into BSG with me but he did not bite. Rewatching before season 4 came out, I realize this song might be the thing that did it. I gave him no context, just showed him the final scene with this song playing and all the craziness that went down. Did the trick and we powered through all series together and finished just in time for the start of s4. Magical song, still gives me chills, there's something about the repeating melody - that bass that just touches *something* in the soul.
Bear McCreary set the bar for future Television Show Soundtracks, especially Science Fiction, at a whole new level to the points where if you don't get goosebumps then your doing it wrong
The song: great. Katee's smile: beauty in it's purest form. That dude freaking out violining: He rocks so hard and all along the watchtower, we'll never get on his level.
I was fortunate enough to see a live performance in LA in April of 2008. It was fraking AMAZING!!!!! Especially the fiddler. Dude has so much energy! Bear posted this at the end of a blog post way back then: PS: Big thanks to all the fans who turned out for the massively successful Music of Battlestar Galactica concerts at The Roxy this week! There’s nothing like hearing 500 people chanting “SO SAY WE ALL!” I’ll post some multimedia highlights soon. Also, if any of you got any decent video footage or photos and want to donate them it would be greatly appreciated. If they release a BluRay of the concerts, I will totally be buying it.
"My name is Saul Tigh. I am an officer in the Colonial Fleet. Whatever else I am... whatever else it means... that's the man I want to be. And if I die today - that's the man I'll be."
And youre a cylon
Literally the best scene of the entire show.
So say we all.
@@TacoFlavoredKisses Saul was BSG's Michael Garibaldi ( from Babylon 5 ).
Just the way Katee smiles while playing that part is pure joy. This music *made* the storytelling of BSG like nothing else.
If I remember the story behind this right, it wasn't planned for her to play. But she was at the show, so they brought her on stage. It'd been years since she shot that episode of course, so Bear's kinda guiding her from the next octave down. Then she gets in to the groove and has fun with it.
Music is life, life is music. We are connected, binded and bonded with the music we create. It is tapestry of life.
That is cool. But what are the odds she just happened to be there? I’m not a big believer in coincidence. Still, a great story. Love the show and love the music even more. Lately I’ve had the opera house song in my head so I have been watching the concert over and over hopping to get it out, but enjoying the frack out of it every time.
Please wake up! Katee is a transgendered Luciferian. LOL Not that there's anything wrong with that.
Imagine it, Katee getting the call "Hey Katee, how would you like to play all the bad timed notes of the intro for All Along The Watchtower, -as i f you can't play the piano, on stage in front of 10.000 people, together with about 16 masters degrees in music in the band?" -of course she is smiling :)

Never seen a show where the music was so integral to the story telling as it is in BSG and the build up and reveal of the final 5
Exactly. The only thing that comes close to it, that i remember is "The Poet and The Muse" song from Alan Wake. Same exact shivers, upon realizing what this song means in context of the game.

No question BSG is awesome, but check out the use of music in Sense8.
Murial's Wedding
From the fall into the gas giant to season finale, I had to binge. I finished like 6 AM, dead tired, but just couldn't stop. And then, woooooow!
2023 and I still get shivers listening and watching this!!! Bear is such a great composer!!!👍❤️
I am on season 4 and when I heard this song at the end of season 3 I started rocking out to it. Granted I bought the box set of BSG because I only saw a few episodes growing up.
So say we all
I still vividly remember The Season 3 Finale with this blasting and starbuck coming out of the nebula " its all gonna be ok lee" .... fuckin mental
I've rewatched that so many times. 50+
One of BSG's finest moments. The soundtrack was always fantastic.
*Building a new class of Battlestar in SE, jamming out and reads the comment section* "Oh hey Husker!" 👋

Heck Yeah 👍👍👍👍
One of the best jobs ever, to play this song at this moment!
I mean, you don't get to nail an awesome solo with a distorded violin in front of so many people every day in your life ^^
Definitely! He has Chris Slade's energy!
I love musicians like him. It's like they fuse their energy into the music and you can't help but feel it.

To take an ICONIC song, and make it in another way, ICONIC... is where it's at !
His use of Middle Eastern timing and instruments, with a lil Indian and Celtic, is mind blowing .
I always thought the music being a fusion of so many cultures was a hint at the people of the fleet being the founders of these early cultures.
All that music was learned from the Colonials. What’s “Middle Eastern” now used to be Tauron. Celtic is maybe Geminon or Picon.
@@chrisducote4944I just came across your comment and I LOVE this idea
The Indian Konnakol rhythmic sections were really evenident and I was there for every bit of it!
It's crazy how much of that that rich sci-fi sound is actually just "way more guitars playing at once than usual" Bear is truly an arranging genius.
Guitars, banjos, mandolins, ouds...
Bear McReary also started using a hurdy gurdy with Walking Dead and Black Sails. It would fit in well in this ensemble.
Underated for sure
The only version of “AATW” that I would dare rate equal to the Hendrix version which I’ve adored for 50 years. 🎸😎
100% agree - He would be impressed.
than u shall check out ths one

This precise performance is coming to my desert island on the playlist over Jimi's although he features with other wizardry of his own for sure.

a reboot of a reboot - all of this has happened before... and will happen again...
That settles it - I'm watching BSG again! ❤
Literally every single person in the band KILLED IT through the whole show
The best part of this is still the grin on Katee's face as the melody comes clear and the big drums come in. She was having the best time ever! :D
I was in college during this show. The show and it's music were a much needed escape from a lot of things.

Bear McCreary set the bar for future Television Show Soundtracks, especially Science Fiction, at a whole new level to the points where if you don't get goosebumps then your doing it wrong
Still my #1 fave after all these years. Thank you @bearmccreary and all of BSG Orchestra! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Bear's arrangement of this song was genius. Brendan killed it on vocals!
PREACH!! AMEN!!! SO SAY WE ALL!!!!
AMAZING to see Johnny Vatos Hernandez and Steve Bartek in this. Now I know why I love it so much! I'm a long-time Oingo Boingo fan!
I wish I could like this more than once.
I wish there was a 'love' button for this video.
Phenomenal.
Amazing seeing Katee Starbuck Sackoff playing the watchtower
The song: great.
Katee's smile: beauty in it's purest form.
That dude freaking out violining: He rocks so hard and all along the watchtower, we'll never get on his level.

I was fortunate enough to see a live performance in LA in April of 2008. It was fraking AMAZING!!!!! Especially the fiddler. Dude has so much energy!
Bear posted this at the end of a blog post way back then:
PS: Big thanks to all the fans who turned out for the massively successful Music of Battlestar Galactica concerts at The Roxy this week! There’s nothing like hearing 500 people chanting “SO SAY WE ALL!” I’ll post some multimedia highlights soon. Also, if any of you got any decent video footage or photos and want to donate them it would be greatly appreciated.
If they release a BluRay of the concerts, I will totally be buying it.
it was so perfectly build up in the show, and the masterpiece itself. give me chills everytime.
Bear Mccreary is a brilliant musician.
