I love this movie, I remember when I was real little watching this with my dad who was a fire chief at the time and loving it now I'm going through high school and am going through the academy in respect of my father who died in a fire... This song makes my eyes water because I remember all the moments we shared watching it and he inspired me. Best song and movie I've ever seen and makes me proud to be a firefighter
Retired Paramedic/ Firefighter for 27 years. I was injured in the line of duty and force retired. I knew every one of these guys, not the actors, but the very different people they played. I lived in this culture and the job defined my morals, ethics and humanity. I never knew that day my response with Rescue 2 would be my last. I did appreciate the moments before the injury and now treasure the memories of my career. This song is perfection. I may be down, but the show does indeed go on. 👩🚒🚒🚒🚒🚑🚑
@@juneclark3584 I appreciate that so much! ❤️ It was an amazing career. It was a very rough time when I was hurt and told it was over. Not how I wanted it to end, but we can't control that. Have a great day! 🙂❤️
@@jessicamerriman2336 thank you,I thank all of our service workers are heroes. It's people like you that makes a difference. I humbly thank you. Every time I see a police officer,I teach my son to tell them thank you for thier service. Plus I love German shepherd. Have a nice day,June in Utah 🐱
Nice....I can only hope to have a career as memorable as yours is to you. ...I doubt we even live in the same state (I'm in Texas) but thanx for all the good work that you did.
I was working at a movie theatre when this came out in 1991. We got to screen it the night before the Friday release, to make sure that the print (film, as they were still put out on celluloid) was put together properly. When we hit this section, I said, "Oh, that's Bruce Hornsby!!", and sang the song, not knowing that there were TWO Hornsby songs on the soundtrack. I still LOVE this film, because it has a stellar cast, a GREAT story, and all the effects that are needed to tell this epic, tragic tale.........
This scenes resonates with me so much. Did 20.6 years in the United States Navy as a Firefighter (Damage Controlman). Retired from active duty in 2020, and this scene reminds me of my time training with my fellow brothers and sisters in arms. 100% Disabled now with the VA, broken, beat and scared….but the show does go on. Always keep grinding training, and keep your head on a swivel. Have zero regrets and would do it all over again!! “I AM MY BROTHERS KEEPER”
One of the greatest movie soundtracks ever!! Saw an episode of " Chicago P.D. today & saw that old theatre that was in the movie, " Backdraft" & here I am!! Great movie!
I remember my dad taking me to see it in the theaters. He was a firefighter for 36 years before he retired in 2002. He won firefighter of the year for San Diego county a few years before retiring.
It's true what Donald Sutherland says in this movie."The funny thing about firemen is... night and day they are always firemen." I joined the Fire Brigade in Scotland at 19. Did seven years. Now I live in Austria and have been in the Fire Service for five years. I love the job. There's nothing else like it.
Hopefully you get a lot of fires, sadly today firefighting has become an ambulance service that very rarely goes to fires. I come from a long family of firefighters. Wasn't uncommon for my dad to have 2-3 working fires or multiple alarms in a shift back in the day, Friday's nights were usually rooming house Mattress fires and weekends were dumpster fires in between all the other bigger fires. Good luck all I can say is hopefully you get lucky, other than that keep bandaids with you because you'll likely be using those most of your career.
Love this movie. Grew up in the same neighborhood in it was filmed in. The main firehouse was in my neighborhood. The store Watra my mom worked at. The theater Brighton Park Theater is where I saw this movie. Great memories.
I commented on _Backdraft_ here a couple years ago, but failed to note what a wonderful song "The Show Goes On" is and how marvelously it works here. Hornsby's thoughtful, understated opening fleshing out into a meat-and-potatoes instrumental backdrop for his voice makes for a song I suspect I will never tire of.
I remember seeing this movie for the first time when I was just a very young child and has always been one of my favorites. Ever since that day I knew I would become firefighter some day and now 20+ plus years later I am finally taking the steps to do so. I hope I can make it in.
This song literally defines what it means to be in a self sacrifice service job. And sometimes you lose a brother or sister but you gotta find the fortitude and reason to keep on getting up. Because at the end of the day whether Firefighter Medical Police Military or Peace Corps.....the Show WILL Go On. And so will you.
I said I'm not gonna quit when I became a Paratrooper. I'm now saying I'm not gonna quit to become a Firefighter! I would watch this movie over and over again when I stayed with My Dad on a weekend as a child. It inspired Me. I said to my Dad, one day I will be a soldier. Then I will be a fireman. He said Son, we are not firemen we are firefighters! But if You ever did anything like that then I would be so proud of You. That was enough for Me, Game on.. I've done the Army and loved it 100000% since 2001 But now I wanna be a Firefighter! So it's time to Ruuuunnn Daaammmnnn Youuuuuu! And that's what life is about. If You don't run forward then you will only crawl backwards! The show goes on! Top scene from a top Movie. Thanks for posting! God Bless in Jesus Mighty Name!
This was very unique in a class of its own great cast outstanding movie that inspires people even today. It really help convey the heroism these fireman show and the recognition they deserve.
This movie along with ladder 49 were my favorite youth movies, and made me want to be a firefighter, 8 years later still want to be a firefighter in the future
When he talks about him and his son floating on the water in the boat always makes me tear up no doubt every time. He missed his son so much. I could totally relate years ago.
Incredibly unrealistic fire scenes, but this little montage does a great job of showing you what the job is really like (except the paperwork and exams). Chickens, dogs, PT, training towers, and so forth.
My partner and I on our ambulance in Tinley, Harvey and a Markham would have this song on a cd put to the radio in our bus If we got an early call in the AM we’d light em up and hit play Loved it
I was a firefighter when this movie came out. My mother refused to watch it because she always feared for my safety. This is one of my favorite movies.
My favorite part in the movie is when Brian finds the chemicals on Stevens boat and Steven says " man look at you, man look at your face, all the things you must be thinking. God you hate my guts , don't you."
☘ ☘ ☘ 🇺🇸🇺🇸🚒🚒❤❤👍👍 Great movie indeed...very endearing & entertaining, all while bursting with all these selfless heroics & this genuine Irish Pride & love of Chicago along with the firefighting profession itself, as all those noble, keenly felt & proudly tribal aspects were well counter-balanced with moments of tragedy, suspense & real heartbreak, THUS that essential cinematic balance, not to mention the various scenes featured that are as beautifully realistic as they are slightly hyberbolic...YET effective, compelling, riveting, magically nostalgic, sweetly enjoyable & steeped in his brotherly love & heartwarming poignancy all the same👊🇺🇸☘☘ 🚒🚒❤❤ Great movie!!
This is the most amazing movie i have ever seen, its what made me want to be a firefighter, Im gonna save lives some day, thanks to all our Heroes out there, you make us proud!
It's been 30 years since this debuted. I was on duty on opening night in the Washington DC Fire Department. There were several sites across the country where some of the actors were on hand. We had Baldwin and Glenn at a theater in Northwest DC. The Fire Chief allowed many companies to rotate and attend the premier for several minutes out of service to watch.
One of my all-time favorite movies by Ron Howard I love this movie it is fantastic shows what firefighters go through I have nothing but respect for the fire department
I love this song but I think they should've saved it for the ending credits right after the last scene. It would've fitted better since Stephen had just passed away. The Show Goes On means that while it is appropiate to mourn over the lost of a loved one we must remember that life still goes on.
@@secondsidegaming5158 Well, I'm 17 and I joined 3 years ago... We have a youth section in Germany. You can join with 10 and you'll be taught how to be a firefighter so you can pass the test easily when you want to become a real firefighter

watched this movie about 300 times when i was a kid. Just graduated the academy. Stay Safe brothers
Hope you’ve had a safe and prosperous career brother!
Drove to this song coming home yesterday officially became a firefighter yesterday at the age of 18 ever since i was little i was inspired to be one
Good for you man......I will be to one day

Hi Devin I saw your post congratulations on becoming a firefighter
Congratulations bro, I hope to join the FD family too soon

still one of my very favorite songs of all time.... I loved Backdraft too, but the music was awesome.

This movie is why im a fireman today. Not exaggerating at all.

I can't even tell you how many times I've watched this movie as a kid. I was so inspired by it and always wanted to be a firefighter.
I had the same dream haha
Watching this and London's Burning made me want to do it, so I did
same and now im a jr firefighter
Me as well I want to become one too
I downloaded this movie specifically because of the feeling this one scene gives me everytime I see it. Pure old school nostalgia overload!!!
This movie along with ladder 49 were my favorite youth movies, and made me want to be a firefighter, 8 years later still want to be a firefighter in the future
I still cry at the start when dad dies.
When he talks about him and his son floating on the water in the boat always makes me tear up no doubt every time. He missed his son so much. I could totally relate years ago.
Still the best... Along with Ladder 49!.

I love this Movie I am a Retired cop but because of this movie I Volunteered on my local Fire Dept for few years!!
No better way to illustrate the passing of the passage of time than a good old fashioned montage!
