Jackpot! with Geoff Edwards (NBC), "Gathering Crowds"
Loading...
Uploaded by Stratman78 on Feb 3, 2008
This video collage that I made is from the game show, "Jackpot!" that aired on NBC from January 7, 1974 to September 26, 1975.
The host was Geoff Edwards.
The theme song is called "Gathering Crowds" by Mike Vickers (who went under the pseudonym name Patrick J. O'Hara Scott).
NBC destroyed every episode but two, according to Geoff Edwards. A $38,750 Super Jackpot is won on one of them.

Blast NBC for destroying eps of so many great game shows. Thank God for the folks who upload eps and clips here, if it weren't for them people like me would never be able to appreciate these game shows.

The theme music to this version of Jackpot! was "Jet Set" by Mike Vickers, not this song.

This theme was also used in The Classic NFL Films Super Bowl Highlights when the Steelers Won both Super Bowl IX against The Vikings (1974 Season) and Super Bowl X (1975 Season) against The Cowboys. I used to watch those classic Highlights shows all the time on ESPN.

It is a beautyful song, I know it was used for This Week in Baseball but it is so damn pretty all I can imagine is being at Disney World watching princess's dance

Watch a fabulous song!!

Yeah they got lucky.....all I gotta say is blown call at first base. I was the saddest 12 year old ever that summer. I cried for I don't know how long.
'85 Cardinals were a good team.

As a kid I used to love this song at the end of TWIB. Watching all the great catches and plays. I used to imagine myself making those same great catches! Great song thanks for putting it up here!

BUMMER! I accidently removed that person's comments! Forgive me! I meant to hit reply than remove for I wanted to ask that person a question (Please whoever this was, please reply again). My goof up.

This theme just heard here was used on the later episodes of the '70s "Jackpot." Prior to that, they used "Jet Set." BTW, the theme played here is also used on "This Week in Baseball" back then, too.

I know. I decided to use this theme for this video for "Gathering Crowds" has more of a dramatic feel, but I always loved this theme song. And yes, "Jet Set" was the original theme to 'Jackpot!'.
