If you grew up watching Gerry Anderson’s UFO, this one’s for you.

Here’s the moment a live orchestra brought the iconic UFO opening titles roaring back to life at one of the legendary Stand by for Action concerts. This is Barry Gray’s unforgettable theme, performed exactly as it deserves to be heard. We love the fact that the musicians are all dressed in appropriate uniforms, and in some cases, even hairstyles.

Want to relive the full experience? Both Stand by for Action concerts are available on Blu-ray and DVD:
