William Loose was another one that did a bunch of tunes for NFL films. For many years, I thought it was Sam Spence on some of the tunes. Dave Volsky has hundreds on his youtube channel that were never released. All good.
Luke Berninger IKR? I played a ton of Madden 06 as a kid and heard these songs often, so Sam Spence's music floods me with nostalgia. Such great melodies!
I sent Sam Spence a fan e-mail after I bought the Autumn Wind box set and he kindly responded. We e-mailed a few times about growing up in San Francisco. RIP Sam.
Sam Spence has made this music a permanent companion with football in my eyes. Oh how ironic it is that he has unfortunately passed away on the eve of SB 50, marking half a century of the legendary Super Bowl.
Husky Fan in Mass Well I would expect that if Sam Spence knew he was going to die on the eve of Super Bowl 50, he would say that that is the opposite of when he really expected to die.
This song not only has meant tons when watching football, but also it played a major role in those tough mornings a few years ago when I had pretty nothing to rely on. Looking back to it now, I almost envy my younger self for such a drive. This tune feels almost like a calling for battle. It moves my deepest sense of survival and strength. It makes me feel relentless.
Millennial here, It took me forever to find the name of this song, but I'm so glad I did. I would always whistle it as my qb shuffled in the pocket and threw a bomb. pure magic
I had just watched Doug Heffernan set the record in consecutive delivery days without incidents for IPS. I looked this song up and the doorbell rang... it was the UPS guy bringing me a package. True heroes of our times
The NFL during the 1970s - Amazing! I remembered watching NFL films with this song playing as the film focuses on amazing running backs such as: Dallas' Duane Thomas, Miami's Larry Csonka, and Pittsburgh's Franco Harris running through holes for big gains. Thank you for the memories Sam Spence. You will forever be missed and never forgotten.
This song has so many parts and instruments doing their parts, it's absolute brilliance. Sam Spence is like a head coach, instructing each musician to doing their job and the end result is like a Superbowl victory. Autumn Wind is right there with this one. Don't forget about Blockbuster by Sam Spence, another brilliant tune. The man should be in the HOF.
There was nothing like this hearing this music on NFL films back in the day The 80s and 70s NFL films I used to watch them on Sundays Before the NFL pregame show came on . There’s nothing like hearing this on a crispy cool fall weekend especially Sunday it really gets you in the mood hearing this legendary.
Smash mouth football at its best. We used to watch the highlight reels on Friday nights on one of the three Channels. It was the best. No replays, and the QB was fair game. Man I miss those days.
On Saturdays as kids we would watch "This Week in Pro Football" with Pat Summeral and Tom Brookshire. They played all the highlights of the previous weeks games with this fantastic music. We were so pumped! The show would end with the song "Rainbows to the End Zone" while we gathered our gear, the ball (a Pete Rozelle pro model) and headed to the field to play till we were exhausted.
Larry Csonka running the fuck over the Minneosta Vikings defense in Superbowl 7. I'm sure everyone can relate this song to certain NFL Films but that's mine.
Football is the closest thing we'll have to gladiators fighting terf wars, and sam spence captured that mood of fierce yet "friendly" combat perfectly. If there's a perfect soundtrack in existence, it's Spence's catalog of nfl music. Forever remember the bard of American football.
My goodness..... THIS is the coolest music imaginable!!! One of the greatest sounds of my youth!! I NEVER missed "NFL Game Of The Week",with John Facenda.. Just a great memory!! FANTASTIC!!
was the starting center for my school's very small football team for 2 seasons. when we couldn't hold a team anymore due to low turnout, I turned to be a soccer goalie. needless to say, size and aggression was both on my side ;)
I grew up hearing this with the NFL their highlight reels. And I have to say the moment it came on I got pumped up. It will always remind me of the Gridiron greats of the past.
This song brings back so many memories as a kid growing up during the 70s and 80s. Free agency, the salary cap and new, softer rules have ruined this League. There will be no more dynasties.
+Bleed Black And Gold I know you found this almost a year ago, but I could NOT find this song. I would sing it to people to see if they knew the name of it. Almost everyone knew the song, but nobody knew what it was called. Now I found it, but I can't find it on i-Tunes.
How lucky are those of us who grew up in this era of football and NFL Films!
slick1ru2 agreed, because it sucks now!
slick1ru2 Yep
Beer cheese couch tube
Nah. It was good, but today is good too. Football is Football, and it always was and always will be Football
@Martin S those are the guys that did the Autumn Wind song, I wish I was alive in the era of great football

Sam Spence, whether anyone or he himself knew it, was one of the most important composers of the 20th century. He will live on forever.
NFL Films cheated him out of royalties on his music.
LEGEND
I think you're almost right, it's actually John Williams
William Loose was another one that did a bunch of tunes for NFL films. For many years, I thought it was Sam Spence on some of the tunes. Dave Volsky has hundreds on his youtube channel that were never released. All good.
Spence was famous however, for "borrowing" from other musical pieces. It varied from slightly being similar to an absolute "knock off".
My favorite NFL song ever. There’s not even a close second.
This one cracks my top 3. Along with The Raiders and Classic Battle
Sir I raise you “The Equalizer” , another Sam Spence great.
Bulding a champion by David Robidoux is mine. As for Sam Spance, I would say Final Quest.
Amen to that! Pony Soldiers 2nd
what abt sunday night football?
This song truly is the national anthem of football.
Absolutely...THANK YOU!! That crap they put out years ago with Hank Williams and now with Carrie Underwood is garbage.
And 99% of people sadly do not know the name of this song because of ishkabibble greed.
1:52
Its my favorite song, period
These NFL films songs give me the chills. Football really is the ultimate gladiator and theatrical sport out there. This song defines the NFL.
Me too, have to have for ringtone
It used to good grief they girled it up when my dad was a kid and young adult football was played by real men
Take it easy with the gladiator stuff, but definitely correct on the theatrical part lol
Those trombones are so awesome.
Remember when Madden games only had NFL music?
This song reminds me of getting my roster all perfect and getting hyped to play the game!
Those were the best Madden games that had this type of music.
When you wake up and it's NFL Sunday football
Rl 23 I’ll forever love this comment!!!
@@brodyreyes3235 get a room.
Best feeling in the world.
I never gave a shit once the games came on. Jon Facenda and NFL Films drove my love for this spectacular music!
It's like Barry Sanders. Juke, juke, juke juke BURST. I wish they had this music in Madden still, it's real classy.
Luke Berninger IKR? I played a ton of Madden 06 as a kid and heard these songs often, so Sam Spence's music floods me with nostalgia. Such great melodies!
madden 07 i muted all the other songs on the soundtrack and would play these when i played, the good ol days haha
Will Fudge me too!
Hate the rap shit they play in those madden games.
They don't have it...I don't play anymore but there was a setting you can switch all the music over to sams football music...I love it.
I sent Sam Spence a fan e-mail after I bought the Autumn Wind box set and he kindly responded. We e-mailed a few times about growing up in San Francisco. RIP Sam.

A Legend
+HawkingRegime How is it "ironic"?
Husky Fan in Mass Well I would expect that if Sam Spence knew he was going to die on the eve of Super Bowl 50, he would say that that is the opposite of when he really expected to die.
He should compare horror movie music!
Well, because it is what it is....how ya like that one daaaaawg....,)
This is the song i listen too when im running late to work after dropping off the kids at school...
To me the song that plays is "Torpedo" also by Sam Spence.
The Equalizer is what comes into my mind.
Lmao😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀
I play this song whenever I have diarrhea.
Lol
Incredible horn section, mind blowing bass line, coupled with perfect percussion. This is pure rock.
This is my favorite track from NFL Films i'll never get tired of hearing it. Thabk you Sam Spence rest in peace.
Finally found it!
Jexik right!!!
Me too man!! I would search nfl football fight songs on CZcams like no other lol
This song not only has meant tons when watching football, but also it played a major role in those tough mornings a few years ago when I had pretty nothing to rely on.

Rest in peace, Sam Spence - your works will live on forever!

Awesome selection of Music for that scene 😁😁
@@Wechselwillig so ist es
I remember playing NFL 2K5 and this would be the only song i would have on lol brings back memories man on PS2
Same but with madden
I can imagine a running back sprinting to the end zone with this song.
Bring these back today!
This song is so nostalgic it brings tears to my eyes
Takes me back to my childhood i love this fuckin song
This is the GOAT of all NFL music
This is a masterpiece.
Millennial here, It took me forever to find the name of this song, but I'm so glad I did. I would always whistle it as my qb shuffled in the pocket and threw a bomb. pure magic
Jon Wiley don’t identify yourself as millennial. No other group does it and neither should you. Resist right wing generational jihad.
Your comment cracked me up... Loved playing football as a kid
Doug Heffernan making history at I.P.S 👍
Hahahaha! That’s what brought me here. So glad to revisit this. When men were men. What an era!
Love that show
Hahahahah yes!!!!!!!
I'm fron Europe so the connection to football is zero for me.
For me it always gives a feeling of humorous things that could happen.
This is one of my faves
Sam Spence made me NFL fan!
Marin Neshev Is that right?
Me too.
@@tinydancer62 A WOMAN !!!!
They need to use this song more often
BEST SONG EVER
Bring this back!
Ed and Steve Sabol, John Facenda, and Sam Spence is what made NFL Films great.
Man this tune really gets you pumped for some football
2021 and this is still music to my ears. I loved NFL Films and listening to Steve Sabol. Man I miss these days.
I'm 46 and coach youth football....We bring the kids out on this song during homecoming every year!
Thank God I found this channel. You dont Know HOW LONG I've been searching for this specific song!
I remember Madden 06(?) used to let you toggle on NFL films music and I used to to just listen to this non stop while playing madden
RIP Legendary Football.
Legendary continues, in an evolving way. The current will be classic in 50 years. And that generation will be responsible for carrying the torch.
LETS GOOOOO LEGENDARY FOOTBALL
Some of this got used in the original 60's Spiderman cartoon, along with some cool jazz.
The fact that this was created for football is so beautiful
This is my commute to work music. There's an uphill where I see the sunrise. With this in my speakers I just feel a beautiful energy running inside.
Glad to know I’m not the only one
I had just watched Doug Heffernan set the record in consecutive delivery days without incidents for IPS. I looked this song up and the doorbell rang... it was the UPS guy bringing me a package. True heroes of our times
By far the king of NFL songs. This belonged in a John Wayne cowboy classic. This is as All-American as it gets.

Thank you, Sam Spence.
Amazing times
Incredible
Never will this be duplicated
Awesome NFL FILMS
LETS GO!!
The real NFL, where men loose a teeth and still played. Where men shed blood and sweat in the fields, for us. 👏🏾
Damn right.
R.I.P. Sam Spence.
This song has so many parts and instruments doing their parts, it's absolute brilliance. Sam Spence is like a head coach, instructing each musician to doing their job and the end result is like a Superbowl victory. Autumn Wind is right there with this one. Don't forget about Blockbuster by Sam Spence, another brilliant tune. The man should be in the HOF.
my dad wrote this lol
This made you want to be a football player. It was awesome watching the highlights to this music.
Never thought I'd find this song again lol
There was nothing like this hearing this music on NFL films back in the day The 80s and 70s NFL films I used to watch them on Sundays Before the NFL pregame show came on . There’s nothing like hearing this on a crispy cool fall weekend especially Sunday it really gets you in the mood hearing this legendary.
Almost brings me to tears hearing these songs . Grew up in the 70's watching the highlights on Saturday of the Sunday games and hearing these jams
I’ve been trying to find this song for so long
JDIZZ 05 same
I listen to this while I’m cleaning the house. Makes me feel like I’m accomplishing something epic.
Of u cn still enjoy this music now it just shows how ahead of his time he was. How much of a classic this really is and it lives on ❤❤❤❤
John Facenda - The Broncos passed out turnovers like a department store Santa Clause and the hustling Cowboys scooped up the goodies.
Amazing how NFL Films could make such great work out of a lousy, turnover ridden game like Super Bowl XII
Randy Hughes four turnovers ...two fumble recoveries and two interceptions
Well… at least it’s symbolic.
@@antonewilson4310 should have been MVP
The end of that SB 12 highlight, when Landry is up on their shoulders...*tears*
This honestly brings a tear to my eye because it reminds me of watching football highlights with my friends and family growing up...
best nfl song ever. gets me fired up
Without a doubt, Sam Spence´s best song....RIP maestro
Legendary song.
dat trombone
[translate] that trombone
what a great song for low brass
Bass trombone sounds nice
In The Flesh Pictures The trumpet man
This song gets me so pumped
Smash mouth football at its best. We used to watch the highlight reels on Friday nights on one of the three Channels. It was the best. No replays, and the QB was fair game. Man I miss those days.
timeless kick ass song
0:47
Not a football fan, but this music is positively stirring. It has a High Noon vibe. Great stuff.
One of the best Tracks all time, easy.
COVID CANT STOP THE MAJESTY OF SAM SPENCE
True!
On Saturdays as kids we would watch "This Week in Pro Football" with Pat Summeral and Tom Brookshire. They played all the highlights of the previous weeks games with this fantastic music. We were so pumped! The show would end with the song "Rainbows to the End Zone" while we gathered our gear, the ball (a Pete Rozelle pro model) and headed to the field to play till we were exhausted.
We saw it on Saturdays in NYC on WPIX-TV Channel 11
Larry Csonka running the fuck over the Minneosta Vikings defense in Superbowl 7. I'm sure everyone can relate this song to certain NFL Films but that's mine.
+KHayes666 Vikings fan here, trying to enjoy the song fuck you lol
+KHayes666 Super Bowl VIII. In VII he ran all over the Redskins defense.
+RomeoMike You're right. My bad
+KHayes666 When Chuck Bednarik laid that running back the heck out and knocked him out in the process
Joe Kapp knocking the fuck outta Jim Houston in the 1969 NFL championship game.
man i miss legendary football.
This song gives me chills
Back when the NFL was Great.
Football is the closest thing we'll have to gladiators fighting terf wars, and sam spence captured that mood of fierce yet "friendly" combat perfectly. If there's a perfect soundtrack in existence, it's Spence's catalog of nfl music.
Forever remember the bard of American football.
Whenever I hear this, it means it's go time.
Very fun NFL theme. Thank you Sam Spence.
My goodness..... THIS is the coolest music imaginable!!!
One of the greatest sounds of my youth!!
I NEVER missed "NFL Game Of The Week",with John Facenda..
Just a great memory!!
FANTASTIC!!
So much great football memories and SpongeBob episodes. I love this moving song
Classic TV. Pat Summeral and Tom Brookshire. With the legendary John Facenda narrating!
Remember watching old superbowl highlights with my dad of Csonka running through people while this song was playing. Better game back then.
Every time I hear this, I think of the Steel Curtain clobbering Roger Staubach.
How the hell can you not want to play some football after hearing this ?? JAM
was the starting center for my school's very small football team for 2 seasons. when we couldn't hold a team anymore due to low turnout, I turned to be a soccer goalie. needless to say, size and aggression was both on my side ;)
I get a weird happy feeling listening to this. It's like some weird nostalgia but I was nowhere close to being alive during those old NFL days
This is to be played at my funeral
Crazy how Legendary Football and Football Fusion had this song in their games but not Madden
I don't even care for American football, but how I loved watching HBO specials with this music growing up.
Absolutely love this song! Brings back pleasant Inside the NFL memories with the late Len Dawson and Nick Buonoconti. ❤️
I grew up hearing this with the NFL their highlight reels. And I have to say the moment it came on I got pumped up. It will always remind me of the Gridiron greats of the past.
This song brings back so many memories as a kid growing up during the 70s and 80s. Free agency, the salary cap and new, softer rules have ruined this League. There will be no more dynasties.
My favorite NFL films soundtrack
I picture the team running out from the tunnel onto the field. This is marvelous
I wish for the 100th NFL Season, the NFL would gave made highlight videos of the 2000s and 2010s with this classic music.
FINA-FUCKING-LLY! I FOUND IT
+Bleed Black And Gold I love that feeling! Especially the ability to replay it over and over again whenever you want.
Lol I had that feeling two years ago
+Bleed Pink And Gold That's where I am right now, man. Found it.
+Bleed Black And Gold I know you found this almost a year ago, but I could NOT find this song. I would sing it to people to see if they knew the name of it. Almost everyone knew the song, but nobody knew what it was called. Now I found it, but I can't find it on i-Tunes.
Bleed Black And Gold Same
This song reminds me of some of the best players to ever embrace the gridiron. With that said, I personally love this song. Enough said.
Great motivation songs.
ITS FOOOOOOOTBALL SEASON AGAIN, let us give thanks and crank SAM SPENSE
