Doctor Who theme Live

[johnmiic]

This is the Davison theme live as played by the BBC Radiophonic Workshop @ Roundhouse 17 May 2009. When you get 1/2 way thru the band loosesns up and changes into a really cool rock version-almost worthy of a cover by the band YES. I recommend skipping to the 1/2 way point and listening. It's great:

How could they play that live ?

I thought most of it was mixed over and over and over in the studio to get the final effect -- including a human voice in some parts.

If this is truly live, they did a hell of a nice job recreating it.

I don't think the first part is live Mike, you gotta fastforward a bit

i think the Davison theme (or techally the 1980-84) was more midi keyboard anyway so if the synth was set it could easily be performed "live"

always loved the Dr Who theme....that live version is coo, too bad the sound quality isn't better

[Mikey]

I was never a big fan of the Davison era music ...

Nostalgia wise I always remember that music meaning Baker's last year which kind of sucked and then he finally died

Yes, for the more free-form preformance got to the 1/2 way point.
