I am a KC Chiefs fan, but "The Autumn Wind" is the most Raider / football song there is...This theme song is football. As a Chiefs fan I am so sorry to hear of the passing of John Madden today god bless you and RIP Coach John Madden, I send all condolences to Raider Nation and you amazing black and silver fans in LA , Oakland, and Las Vegas
I've spent 27 years in Kansas City and 27 years in Las Vegas. So I cheer for both the Chiefs and the Raiders. (The rest of the time in Nice/Paris, France and Tucson, AZ.)
I’m a Jets fan but there is no doubt the Autumn wind is the greatest song ever created. Brings me back to those great Raider Jets games of the late 60’s. RIP Al Davis
@@0-blitz . A lot of young sports fans probably only think of John Facenda as the voice of Steve Sabol's NFL Films highlights. They are probably unaware that he was a weatherman for, if I am recalling correctly, CBS-TV Channel 10 in Philadelphia during the 1970's.
Goose bumps and emoitions that only football can give..I'm a Dallas cowboys fan but I'm a 70s guy...And the. R A I D E R S !!!!!! Wow were they great. Would love to see silver and black back again
The Autumn Wind is a pirate Blustering in from sea, With a rollocking song, he sweeps along, Swaggering boisterously. His face is weather beaten. He wears a hooded sash, With a silver hat about his head, And a bristling black mustache. He growls as he storms the country, A villain big and bold. And the trees all shake and quiver and quake, As he robs them of their gold. The Autumn Wind is a raider, Pillaging just for fun. He'll knock you 'round and upside down, And laugh when he's conquered and won

Currently watching chargers vs raiders, looking good but carr wants to take a knee instead of going for the pass play and field goal, like with 15 seconds left in the 2nd quarter
I hope Aiden O’Connell is listening to this pregame tomorrow at least 10 times before he gets his first ever career start and becomes our long term QB 🙏
I'm a die hard 49er fan and listening to this song shows us that the Raiders still have the potential to become the team they were in the 70's and 80's.
Impacto profundo a los corazones por la pasión q solo este equipo único ViVe Este equipo Raiders casi space es inigualable su energy al contemplar la presencia de su grandeza ganen o no se gane fidelidad y emocionante forever Raiders Glory
Man, LFG!!!! We asked for a chance and we got 1. We need to play a perfect game next week. Everything we want is in front of us. It’s simple win and you’re in. Go Get it for Coach Madden. 💯😤🏴☠️🙏🏾 #RaiderNation
The raiders just beat the chiefs. This is the song I play after every Oakland, Las Vegas and los Angeles raiders all across California Nevada and the whole nation so touching
As a Raiders fan since conception, *The Autumn Wind* is the epitome of Football! When football was great. When football was life! Where the gridiron was where you were tested through blood, sweat and tears! "Hard-nosed" football; where everything was left on the field. Hate us all you want, but you know damn well I speak the truth. RIP Coach Madden. . .Raider Nation 4 Life!!
Raiders from Pennsylvania (across the nation from California) Been a fan all my life and through all the rough years. Just goes to show that Raider Nation is everywhere. Just Win Baby! 10-2!
From Pennsylvania, the UK, and Switzerland? Mad respect. I'm from California, living in Utah. Got my season pass so I can still watch every game. Back in the playoffs, and about to return! Some things never change though... It'll be another year with everyone pissed off about Cliff Branch not making it into the Hall.
After everything that's happened this year, this whole 20 years tbh. We're finally here in good strength, after 8 years of ups and downs carr can finally play in a playoff game, no injury this time. He's been through too much, he earned this game. Win or lose what a year for the raider nation
Indubitably, I’m looking forward to our next season. This time to bring it home. Even though we are in Las Vegas. Oakland Ca the s where it will always be for me.
I'm a Patriots fan and this is totally bad ass. The 1970's and 80's Raiders were my kind of teams. They kicked your ass, partied hard and had personality. I hope someday they are competitive again.
They were great but since then they have been a joke. The Raiders are worse than ever right now. And they will continue to be the joke of the NFL as long as that clown Gruden is the coach
Niners fan here. However, I defy anyone, whatever team you root for, to not get choked up and jacked for football when you hear this song. Absolute masterpiece slice of autumn and winter.
Jets Fan here.. Wow. Raiders fans are really blessed to have had Madden as a HC and to have the teams you ve had. This song is so football and Silver and Black. God bless John Madden and RaiderNation. RIP JM! See you psychos in the next big one! Lol
Every time listen to this i build up emotion and cry a lil bit tears of joy tears of being proud to be a Raiders fan. I love the silver and black people can say what they want about the raiders but they'll never understand what's it like to be a Raider being a raider is being rough and tough taking what's yours hell maybe a lil more i can't wait until the raiders rule the nfl again the original bad guys the men in black with the silver trim yess sir RN4L !!!!!!!!!!
+Aaron Lavow I love what you stated and agree with you 1000% yes a thousand!!! No mistake. I feel the same way, it does build up emotions, with tears of joy. I'm sixty eight years old, I got to see them in person when they were in L.A. and won Superbowl. I even got to meet Tom Flores and he shook my hand, all on a fluck cause I couldn't run fast enough, lol. Anyway old or young, no matter where they are, I love my RAIDERS, until I die and yes I am a woman!!! lol
+Janette McClelland RIP indeed. He had a good run, I imagine. We will remember him, when toasting to victories won and those yet to come. *cheers* you old Snake!
Raiders is a way of life. I been a Raider fan for 52 years. Just win Baby. Once a Raider always a Raider. N our theme song is the only one in the NFL. HAVE A RAIDERIFFIC LIFE. PURO PINCHE RAIDERS X VIDA. SUR 13 INGLEWOOD CALIFAS.
This song makes me wanna rob a cop, apologize, take him out to olive garden, then leave him with the bill and drive off to the sunset with a pirate's laugh. this is the type of song that gives me my vitamins for the day this is what the Raiders are. I am a beyond proud Raider fan. I've gone through the taunting amongst my peers when we had a bad season. but everyday I know they'll shut em up eventually. I have a great feeling this year. All my Raider Nation brothers and sisters.. please join me for a prayer. we will be back on top.
+LilSpinna97 I go to church every Sunday and pray for my Raiders, and my prayers are being answered. Win, lose or tie I'll love my Raiders till I die. I know God loves them too!!!
As a kid, I was a Steelers' fan, and Terry Bradshaw was my idol. And they had an epic rivalry with the Raiders. Since then I've respected and grew fond of the Raiders' aura. Those horrifying costumes the fans wear to their games, God love them.
Wow. I'm actually surprised that YOU, a Steeler fan. Respect the Raiders. I know those Pirates of Oakland and those Steel Makers of Pittsburgh have a HUGE rivalry with each other and most Steeler fans I meet usually trash talk about my team and disrespect my Raiders.
I'm a Rams fan myself, but this shit ROCKS!!! The Raiders aura of the 70's and 80's is unmatched! To the late, great, Al Davis, God bless you sir for your 'Commitment To Excellence.' RIP to the 'Assassin' Jack Tatum, and Skip 'Dr. Death' Thomas. I LOVE THIS STUFF MAN!
I usually have a deep-seated hatred with Steelers fans because most of them just bring up the number of rings they have (when the conversation has nothing to do with that), but I meet cool ones like yourself from time to time.
Pirate_of_Oakland I think Georges is what you'd call a real fan. I used to hate the Steelers because they always beat my Cowboys. But, if you're a real fan, you can't help but extol the greatness that is/was the Steel Curtain and that team from the 70's. Still, IMO, the greatest of all time. No respect to Lombardi and his Pack, but I think that Steelers team was the best ever. They had to get past the great Dolphins and Cowboys teams of that decade to be named Team of the Decade and to me, that says it all.
Randy Montgomery Thank you SIR! for your kind and goodly words. All we OAKLAND fans ever asked for was a lil respect. May you live well and be happy sir!
I wish the NFL could find someone with the passion the Sabols had for portraying American Football the way that they did, if they had not already. It wasn't just capturing hard hits and cool plays. They elevated the game to the levels of an art form. I mean, a POEM about the OAKLAND RAIDERS. Of all the NFL teams, they are at the bottom of the list for being remotely "high brow". And to top it off they write for the Raiders a symphonic theme. What brings it home is it feels appropriate. The poem invokes imagery of a travel warn individual. A man roughed up by the nomadic lifestyle, such as a pirate is said to have lived. A man who you'd probably want to keep your distance from. The music floats gently but has a strong and assertive presence, much like the weather changes going into Winter, making the piece live up to its name. Today's NFL really could use this kind of love and passion to portray it.
I remember as a boy in 1976 I was in the 4th grade and had just started playing pop warner football and was an avid football fan. The Raiders beat the Vikings in the Super Bowl that year. I remember waking up on the weekends and watching football highlights with that voice narrating! I always loved that voice and narrating. Really awesome music and voice! I remember it but never realized it was the Raiders theme music until today.
I've been a Steeler fan since I was a kid (1970), but I respected the HELL out of the Raiders. The 70' s rivalry between those 2 teams was far more intense than any other in the NFL, before or since. They were fighting for league supremacy back then, & I am grateful that I was there to witness it in person !!

Go Raiders!!

Best theme song in the NFL. Listen to this as my warm up for the gym almost everyday. Raiderette for life!

Goose bumps and emoitions that only football can give..I'm a Dallas cowboys fan but I'm a 70s guy...And the. R A I D E R S !!!!!! Wow were they great. Would love to see silver and black back again
The Autumn Wind is a pirate
Blustering in from sea,
With a rollocking song, he sweeps along,
Swaggering boisterously.
His face is weather beaten.
He wears a hooded sash,
With a silver hat about his head,
And a bristling black mustache.
He growls as he storms the country,
A villain big and bold.
And the trees all shake and quiver and quake,
As he robs them of their gold.
The Autumn Wind is a raider,
Pillaging just for fun.
He'll knock you 'round and upside down,
And laugh when he's conquered and won
I just hope they don't give that quack antonio Brown another chance!
HELL YA
Dam Right
RIP John Facinda. This wouldn't be nearly as good without your narration. Even after all these years you are still voice of NFL films.
LFG!!!! Tomorrow is the day. Take what you want💯😤🏴☠️
R.I.P. John Madden 🙏🏼
Not a Raider fan but “The Autumn Wind” is the best team song in sports!!

Literally, the most beautiful theme song in sports history.
This might be my favorite piece of music ever recorded.
Sam Spence was a maestro!!
I'm a die hard 49er fan and listening to this song shows us that the Raiders still have the potential to become the team they were in the 70's and 80's.
My 9 month old daughter already recognizes The Autumn Wind. The look on her face once it starts😂
True Raider☠🤘🏽
Chiefs fan, but that does sound make that awesome. Keep up the good work!
Been a Proud Raider since 1979!!!!!! when i was just a junior pirate!!! We wear the silver we wear the black we never retreat we always attack!!!
RIP John Madden
A true pirate is not a Buccaneer, nor a Viking, but a Raider...
They hate us cause they aint us, One Nation, RaiderNation.
Amen, brother...
-PIRATE- what happened when they met in super bowl though. They are both pirates.
PIRATE well Jon Gruden is back in Oakland (and I just bagged his groceries in Tampa)

Every time I hear this song, my mind plays some footage of hard tackling in slow motion followed by Mr. Al Davis in sunglasses chewing his gum.
Or Willie Brown returning an interception in slow motion for a touchdown and light snow is falling.
You have to be talking about “JACK TATUM”.
