I have to admit, I was one of those people who remembered "Back to Back" being introduced in season 3. Of course, that was 20 some-oddyears ago. My memory could be wrong. I was in High School, so mind was on other things...
I popped DVD 1 from season 2 this evening. Much to my surprise, "Back to Back" is used as the theme song. Even though I always preferred "Drive", "Back to Back" is growing on me.
Here's the kicker. There are 2 versions of "Back to Back". Some of you may have known this already. There is one by Joey Scarbury (I think) and another more country-sounding, which IMO is pretty bad. I've only watch 1 disc so far, but it looks like they alternated the 2 versions from episode to episode.
Regardless, It's on DVD...that's all I could ask for!

I recalled back to back, but for the life of me never recalled this lame slower country type version till i started watching this set. I have to fast forward it that's how much i hate it. I love the other version though.
Does anyone recall this version from the original broadcasts ? eeeeeeeeeeeek

I've really always liked B2B, but this version is just a little bit on the awful side. And, heck, I'm a C&W fan even. |

Well, I'm glad I'm not the only one!  I remember the "Scarbury" version of "Back to Back" at the beginning of season two, but I don't remember that country version at all! Can someone confirm if, indeed, that version was on the original broadcasts? I think I would've remembered that. By the way, I was also very pleased when they went back to the "Drive" theme halfway through the season. |

It kinda sounds like some cheap computer midi version that's usually played on fan's websites.

You Know what is weird aswell as i finish disc 3 it is back to the S1 opening and theme drive which shouldnt be here same with disc 4 first 2 episodes s1 opening and theme drive. Hmm i think vei messed this up with the intro's but i am still happy episodes are intact. I dunno if rest of the season is all S1 theme or not yet as i have 6 episodes left to watch.

I just noticed you posted about this.. I like drive but in the original airings they didn't go back to it middle of season did they? my memory says no cuz s3 was also back to back.. but i can't be 100% sure on that as it is over 20 years.

xmulderx, Yes, they did go back to "Drive" midway through season two. I remember them doing this at the time. I believe season three alternates between the two themes. But what I don't remember is that slow, country version of "Back to Back"...Ever!  |

Well, I don't remember them ever going back to B2B in season three; I think part of S2 is all we ever heard of it. Which, I have to say, I always thought was unfortunate. As much as I like Drive, I thought Back to Back was a nice evolution, musically moving us forward with the relationship. Really, I would've liked a third theme in S3, but I'm kind of quirky that way. And, I have to concur with the masses, if I haven't said so already; this countrified version of B2B really sort of bites.  |

I just started watching Season 2 (Canadian release) on DVD and I don't remember the "country" version of Back to Back either. Joey's version is far superior. I will have to dig out my old VHS tapes and see if I recorded any of the shows with the "country" version of Back to Back. Its been over 20 years, but I still cannot recall hearing that version, only Joey's version.
