Somehow we've got this idea that the pan flute or some similar airy toodely flute is The Instrument played in the Vietnam region, much like banjos are exclusive to the Ozarks and polka music is the sound of Wisconsin. It is too bad that someone felt it would be acceptable to substitute the flute music into the Tour of Duty series. When you see the platoon sergeant emerging out of the bush with his emotionally troubled (and now dead) comrade on his back, and then load the soldier's body into the Huey to the tune of "Have You Ever Seen the Rain?", now that was powerful.

The theme was featured at the end of each original episode during it's initial season one run on CBS during the 1987/88 run. I also remember it from a two hour VHS movie I saw back in the early nineties. I thought it was something else that was being featured. This is NOT a cheesy opening, but rather, Joseph Conlon's own original composition for the end title track on all original 22 episodes from the first season. Conlon then wrote a toned down version for seasons two and three. The ‘generic’ music you’re referring to was written by the composer of the show’s original music writer Joseph Conlon.

As a Vietnam Helicopter pilot, I loved the songs as they were the period I was there. The Music IS what we remember and they have trashed what I believe to be the best depiction of the Vietnam War ( until they changed their direction and had too many China Beach dramatics)!!!!! Maybe someday I can buy the Real Deal!!?? I am so glad I read about the music deletion. As a Vietnam Helicopter pilot, I loved the songs as they were the period I was there.
