Dadrian Posted February 8, 2019 Report Share Posted February 8, 2019 (edited) On Friday, February 8, 1985, the world was introduced to one of the best music cues in TV History as "Rites of Passage" was originally broadcast. Jan Hammer himself even said it was one of his favorite cues of the entire series. “Tubbs and Valerie” was released on Jan’s "Escape from Television" album in 1987 with some great new sounds added, but I've always liked it better just the way it was originally used in the show. That original version was never realeased, so... Here is my first cover on my long-awaited new YouTube channel. Please like, comment, and subscribe! https://youtu.be/AfMafKfa70o Note: May I ask that you PLEASE do not use this audio or video on your own channel? I would really like to communicate with as many fans of the show and music as possible all in one place on this new channel. Feel free to share the link anywhere and everywhere, though. Thanks!

Administrators James Posted February 9, 2019 Administrators Report Share Posted February 9, 2019 Nice work dude. Sounds amazing! I noticed you made a new channel to upload that? I assume you didn't want to risk your main one with the copyrighted clips from the show? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want all that activity compartmentalized to that account. Also the anonymity shows that I want no personal gain from the videos—just to have fun and entertain other fans. Does my question the other day about “Metro-Dade” make more sense now? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That explains it. So "Retro-Dade" is pretty much your new "artist name" then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daytona365 Posted February 14, 2019 Report Share Posted February 14, 2019 (edited) Hey Dadrian, I've been laying down with a bad flu since the weekend, which gave me plenty of time to listen to 'Val' a good number of times It's really marvelous! I don't think even Jan Hammer himself would be able to tell the difference. Can't wait for more ear-candy to pop out of your lab. Maybe we should kick off a crowdfunding so you can take a sabbatical from your day job and focus on your music Edited February 14, 2019 by daytona365 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadrian Posted February 14, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2019 Thanks, @daytona365! Glad this a bright spot in your sickness. I’ve had a cough since the day after Christmas! Time is definitely something not on my side with this hobby, but it’s getting better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Party_car1 Posted July 25, 2019 Report Share Posted July 25, 2019 Great piece D. Takes me back to when I watched the original airing of that episode. I fell in love with this track and was a little let down with the "released " version because it just sounded more built up than I remembered. Have you given thought to what you'll tackle next when time permits? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
