Thanks for posting this, even though I really did not like the more peppy, happy vibe of this playlist before the show compared to the "new" loop. Do you have the track listing for that loop, as I have been wanting to get my hands on some of those pieces for a while.

Awesome, thanks!

Also, I'm really kind of ticked they put a great John Williams-conducted (and written/arranged?) piece where it doesn't belong or fit at all in that old loop.

Chances are that it doesn't get to that part of the loop..The 04 loop played up thru track 6..Unless a delay.

Does the old loop has "Our Life" in it. That's my favorite song and I always knew it was almost time for the show to start without looking at my watch when that played!

For the old loop, the entire loop is edited down to just over 30 minutes, so when I heard it last week, Appalachian Morning played all the way through and there was an awkward 30 second silence before the show started.

That was one improvement with the new loop, it was closer to 45 minutes long. So if there was a delay in starting the show for some reason they wouldn't run out of music. In the original loop it eventually would repeat to the beginning.

Unfortunately this means there are a few songs in the new pre-show list that rarely ever get played.
