The slide guitar 🎸 was played by Bonnie Raitt.

Me toooooooo! Take me back!

Latest version off song was i be ready 😜👍

Now that you mention it, I can definitely tell it's Bonnie on backing vocals (instead of Siedah Garrett, who handles backing vocals on the rest of the "One More Story" album). And Bonnie always plays a mean slide guitar, so it's no wonder the one in this song sounds so good. The song just wouldn't be the same without her contributions.

Was the best theme !

Baywatch caught the tail end of the 80’s so Save Me was perfect for it at the beginning but in the 90’s it’d have sounded a little stale...I’m Always Here was the perfect replacement...personally I think they’re both awesome feel good tunes

You're right. I just remembered that Baywatch started in 89

@@younot-ez3xr The pilot aired on St. George's Day (April, 23rd) 1989 and the first season in autumn, both on NBC.

Have you listened to Glory of Love by Peter Cetera? I first heard it many years back when Karate Kid 2 came out around mid 80s. It's a great song too.

love Cetera and Chicago but Jamie's version kills this one

Same Priscilla!

It's on his One More Story album.😊

Cetera's the man

After NBC cancelled the series the producers had to save money where ever they could. So they exchanged the song by Peter Cetera for which they had to pay royalties to "I'm always here" by Jimi Jamison produced by themselves.

It happened the same to me, I thought for a long time that I had imagined this song...

Saturday nights watching this and having my mcdees or KFC which tasted good that time.

La temporada 2 que te parecio?

@@XLB6060 ya no era lo mismo. No me enganchó.

+zapfogldorf Not even close. This version is lame.

you are right.

No, the world knows that second theme Jimi Jamison's I'm Always Here is better, there's a reason everybody hears the intro of Jimi's track and people instantly are reminded of Baywatch.

jody024 Anyone that watched the original TV movie and the first season knows this is the theme that was used when Baywatch started. Guess it's just a matter of when people were exposed to the show and what theme was playing. I prefer this one.

Not a Baywatch fan, but I am a fan of this theme. Yes, this was the original theme song in the first year. IMO, this is much better than the later one.

No, it had been only used for the first (NBC) season 1989/90 and the pilot.

@@TrevorCole8990 And up to 92..! I know I was there..!

just whiching the opening of the show made my dick hard

Simon Page LOL, true - but utterly worth it for the tune and the girls

This is a fan made video

Cool to see another Shqiptar here.

Yeah, true. But I’ll Be Ready ended up, been the official theme song. For rest of the whole seasons. Expect for Hawaii last season.

I agree, I remember always humming to this whenever I finished high school at the end of the day and running to the gates to go home.

Why do they change the song?

Four minutes introduction for a 45 minutes show? Of course not. The original intro (of the first season) lasted about 90 seconds and you can recognize it by the font which had been dark to light orange and underlined. Most of the scenes during the first 90 seconds are taken of the pilot's and the first season's intro. The intros with Jimi Jamison's "I'm always here" were about 2 minutes long.

Me too 😍

When NBC aired Season 1, it had Save Me as the theme song. After NBC cancelled it and it went into syndication, they replaced it with I'll Be Ready. For later syndication runs and home releases, for some reason they replaced the Season 1 opening with I'll Be Ready and updated titles.

Yeah they also did it on remastered baywatch aswell

​@@dmcxxx The producers had to save money where ever they could. So they exchanged the song by Peter Cetera for which they had to pay royalties to "I'm always here" by Jimi Jamison produced for themselves.

@@callyedz2293 I think the producers did it for continuity reasons.

She left the show during the first season ("Shark Derby") because after NBC forced the departure of Peter Phelps (Trevor Cole) in favor of John Allen Nelson (John D. Cort) her role became much smaller.

Ermmmm..,..this IS the original theme to Baywatch season 1. Peter Cetera 'Save Me'

I prefer this one.

Season 1

No. This is a video the poster made featuring the full original Season 1 song, along with many clips from various later Baywatch intros. (Here's the original intro: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oNqdqthlytDJiXk.html)

dmcxxx ah ok I see its very good anyway 👍

That was this song

Yes
