C&T should have included this on one of their records

Daryl was a BeachBoy for a time - playing keyboards in studio and on tour, plus doing some arranging.

I have no idea what's going on.

I loved Capt. and Tennille's show when I was a kid. Thanks for posting this!!! The last time I saw this was when it originally aired when I was 10!

[ATSFMike]

This is spectacular! I remember the airplay version of the original theme orchestrated by John Williams, from Jan/Feb of 1978. This is pretty doggone close. Also it's nice to see this performed in front of my eyes. I'm also a Capt. and Tennille Fan. Mike in Fresno, Ca.

Orginally performed by John Williams and the london symphony in disco

[scubawrestler]

I actually have this on vinyl. It came as a bonus piece with the original sound track 33rpm.

Is that Keith Emerson with Captain Stubing's hat? Lol

[test951]

wow, I didn't know he did this. He's really a great keyboard player!

[test951]

and writer.

[roxieolive]

this still sounds "forward sounding" as of today IMO.......

this just reeks of awesomeness.....

[36index]

I remember hearing this back in '78 on the AFN radio while in Germany..... they played it only twice, but I never forgot how forward sounding it was!

[vaughnsalem]

[lstn2slayer]

[Seventiesfan]

Thanks for posting this very nice version of the "Close Encounters Of The Third Kind" theme. I've always loved the Captain & Tennille (I even have their Mego dolls in my collection). I have fond memories of their variety show, and I'm glad to hear more of their TV specials will be available soon.

[lstn2slayer]

this song makes me feel so happy.

[1yesfan]

Great music by a mere mortal. Not in the same universe as the wizard, Rick Wakeman but still a great effort.

[jbird38]

Brilliant!!!

[pauldavisfan]

Kewl!!!

[robynpippins]

I can't wait to see the specials again. The Captain is a musical genuis

[DQVegas]

[texasbandlady]

Daryl is AWESOME, a musical genius!!!

[scar78201]

So So glad to see this posted. I was a big C&T fan as a 10-12 year old. I saw this special. They also had a "C&T in New Orleans" special that was great and one other that I think was a xmas one. Awesome.

[johnnieranger]

Too cool! I must have missed this special back in the day, cause I don't recall this memorable performance! Thanks for posting it :)

One of my most favorite Daryl "The Captain" Dragon performances. He is such an underrated musician and producer. This man is simply a musical genius!
