[paulj2005]

play this at my wedding

[theargonite1234]

I have chills it sounds so good

[JHollowayNetwork]

in 1991, Patterson, Waltz, and Fox gave this theme an update to make it sound more Bombastic.

[Jantv81]

the day Rather retired, I bawled, cause I grew up with him as anchor.

[NYC123ization]

thanks for bringing this theme back....now if we can get the 91-05 theme back..

[justin98829]

yes thanks CBS for brining this theme back

[sir945]

thank you cbs and scott pelley for bringing this theme back

[mikepetely30]

CBS Must of liked this theme at lot

Because Today in June 2011, when they hired Scott Pelley to be the new anchor of the CBS Evening News, they changed the Theme from the Katie Couric Theme

to this Theme.

only it says CBS Evening News with Scott Pelley instead of Dan Rather

[TexasTV]

CBS brought back the theme music for "The CBS Evening News with Scott Pelley".

[irish89055]

@TexasTV yes, but the long close is rarely heard...

[hertzbus]

I think Katie Couric ruined the whole stuff. 

[irish89055]

ahhh, nice... the now all but extinct long close...

[paulj2005]

play this at my wedding

[paulj2005]

nice trumpet solo

[jmsweat]

I liked the broadcast far better when Dan Rather was on and they had this great theme music.

[fromthesidelines]

This theme was composed by John Trivers, Elizabeth Myers, and John Pasqua, and recorded in October 1987.

This is 2nd on my list of favorite CEN themes:

1st: 1991-2006 (Rather, Rather/Chung, Schieffer)

2nd: 1987-1991 (Rather)

3rd: 2006-Present (Couric)

then I don't much care for anything pre-1987.

[Elysee2012]

This is my favorite too! Thank you so much !!!!

[ultraback29]

This is my favorite CBS Evening News theme of all. I was disappointed they got rid of it so quickly. Kind of like what they did with "Pots and Pans" and their NFL coverage.
