Thompson, the legendary underground reporter whose passion for writing was second only to his love of weird chemicals, alcohol, violence and insanity. Along with best friend (Peter Boyle), Murray offers a manic look back at the Sixties and Seventies as an eyewitness to everything from a free-for-all San Francisco drug trial to a one-on-one bathroom interview with then Presidential candidate Richard Nixon. This off-the-wall comedy also boasts a musical score by rock superstar Neil Young. ## Why We Love It "…if you're a fan of Thompson's writing or the more well-known film adaptations, give this one a spin. Shout Factory's new "Select" Blu-ray finally presents Where the Buffalo Roam with its unaltered theatrical soundtrack, plus a solid A/V upgrade and a limited but enjoyable pair of bonus features. Recommended." – Randy Miller III, DVD Talk "With Shout Select's terrific presentation and all of the film's original music finally back in it for the first time in many, many years, this is definitely a release worth checking out." – Tim Salmons, The Digital Bits ## Trailer ## Bonus Features Presented With ALL The Original Music Inventing The Buffalo: An Interview With Screenwriter John Kaye Original Trailer ## Product Information Run-time 96 min Aspect Ratio Production Date Closed-Captioned ## Where The Buffalo Roam [Collector's Edition] Art Linson Art Linson Bill Murray Bruno Kirby John Kaye Peter Boyle Rene Auberjonois / 5 Load more reviews ## Related Products

Where the Buffalo Roam
Soundtrack.
The film was scored by Neil Young, who sings the opening theme, "Home on the Range", accompanied by a harmonica. Variations on "Home on the Range" are played by Young on electric guitar as "Ode to Wild Bill" and by an orchestra with arrangements by David Blumberg on "Buffalo Stomp". Music in the film included rock and R&B songs by Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan, The Temptations, the Four Tops and Creedence Clearwater Revival. Additionally, characters played by Bill Murray and René Auberjonois sing lyrics from "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds". 
 Because of the high cost of music licensing, most VHS and all DVD releases retained only the Neil Young score and the Creedence song "Keep on Chooglin'", with the rest of the music replaced by generic approximations of the original songs. The choice of songs for the DVD version was somewhat anachronistic, featuring 1980s-style songs in a 1960s and 1970s setting.
