A couple of things. They are playing a slightly faster version of the open - something they started doing by the end of September. It's interesting (at least to me) that they shifted the order of elements (such as the elevated train coming before the football field) a great deal between this longer version and the one used now.
If there is to be an announce over the theme, I don't think the song should be too high energy, and repetitive probably helps. I find this to be higher energy than the current Late Night theme, and clearly it's not as energetic as the themes performed by the larger ensembles. The Roots, The Basic Cable Band, and Cletus and the Cletones are all larger than JB and Stay Human, which is about the same size as 8H and a little larger than Reggie Watts and Karen. Of course, Your Mileage Certainly Varies. I could see the case being made for the studio-produced (as opposed to live) renditions of late show themes as higher energy. Me - I like it when the host sings the theme.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2I1WMLTpp0Q David From: Jay Lewis <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, November 13, 2015 10:33 AM Subject: [TV orNotTV] Late Show long open Courtesy of Mark Evanier's newsfromme.com is a 2m25s "director's cut" of the tilt-shift open from Colbert's Late Show. https://youtu.be/bmdmx-ZcVvE I am struck but how repetitive and low-energy this theme is. I'm not a fan of LSwSC but not because of any large, glaring issues. Just lots of little ones that kind of "pile up." -- -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
