    1982 Epcot Entrance Medley

    Since my link to the "Le Mans" soundtrack long disappeared from YT I'm linking here from my own account the "Finale" cue from that score. At 0:48 to 1:12 is where you will hear the portion that was basically lifted and recreated for the first cue of the Entrance Medley. Le Mans-Finale (Michel...

    1982 Epcot Entrance Medley

    I can hear the similarity in "Shadow" though its not quite as direct as the "Le Mans" segment is, but that is amazing that for other parts of that particular cue that don't stem from "Energy You Make The World Go Round" (which is what the bulk of the cue is based on) the person who did the...

    1982 Epcot Entrance Medley

    Even if you like racing, "Le Mans" is a very tedious movie to sit through. It was basically Steve McQueen's personal vanity piece to give him a chance to race on-screen after he'd failed to get a role in "Grand Prix" a few years earlier. There is almost no plot at all, just racing footage...

    1982 Epcot Entrance Medley

    Late reply to this and the link is now gone, but I spotted this after I'd been listening the entrance medley cue released in 1984 on cassette for quite some time and then one night I caught "Le Mans" on TV and when this particular section came up at the film's climax, I started doing the biggest...

    1982 Epcot Entrance Medley

    There is a part of the first cue of the 1982 Entrance loop ("Energy") that has a section that sounds as if it was lifted identically from a cue from Michel Legrand's score for the 1971 racing movie "Le Mans" which starred Steve McQueen. Listen to the EPCOT cue starting at 1:35 to 2:13...

    The Wonderful World of David Oneal

    A person who does stuff like that, should be prosecuted. Selling copyrighted TV shows is one thing, but stealing one's money in that fashion is a disgrace, and I don't care if a few projects of his were worthwhile in the technical sense of the term. Glad you were able to get your problem...

    Musical History of WDW?

    By "more attraction/show specific CDs" I hope that will mean some neglected past attractions that got short shrift in the WDW Forever CDs.

    Disneyland Mr. Lincoln

    That "I know there is a God" speech is indeed from the original "Hall Of Presidents" program. And it was also being used I think in the last version of the original Great Moments program before the 2001 makeover.

    The Wonderful World of David Oneal

    I haven't bought anything from EAC for more than a year or two because I was getting a bit tired with the not overly stellar quality of presentation with some of their projects. I'd been ignoring their e-mails for some time and hadn't given them any thought until this evening and this marks...

    NEW Hall of Presidents w/ Obama

    It strikes me as odd though, that "Battle Hymn Of The Republic" could be dropped on the grounds that it moves the show out of the Civil War, yet to have Lincoln recite the Gettysburg Address if anything puts it *more* back in it, than "Battle Hymn" ever did. The Address is a speech that is...

    NEW Hall of Presidents w/ Obama

    I'm glad to hear that Dano's voice is back in the attraction, but that's only a half glass of water from my standpoint, because the Gettysburg Address is a speech meant for its specific time and place, and does not have the longstanding timelessness that the original speech from the HOP program...

    NEW Hall of Presidents w/ Obama

    Royal Dano hasn't been the voice of Lincoln at the HOP since 1993, so if they've just kept the Lincoln speech from 93-08 that's Pete Renoudet doing a not very good Royal Dano imitation and delivering a speech that is a poor substitute for the original one. And "Battle Hymn" is out? Gee, I...

    WDW 40th Anniversary CD?

    I second that. This attraction NEEDS a mega-mix that recreates the ambience of the ride experience just like ATIS has had for years. And do not under ANY circumstances by mistake give us the demo recording. The home recordings that I've listened to so many times over the years are all missing...

    Walt Disney World Forever CDs

    I'm glad that all of that music has gotten out to those of us who never were able to make use of that system at the parks when it was there, but I have to admit it still burns me up that only one cue from "If You Had Wings" was deemed worthy of letting out of the vault. The lack of a...

    Footlight turns out the light

    Footlight actually closed their store some months back and was trying to continue on as an on-line retailer only. This service is what's finally giving up as well. Footlight was one of three fun places to go to in a several block radius for me on many trips into NY from my NJ home. You...

    Question about Hall of Presidents WDWF tracks

    Except that the "Battle Hymn Of The Republic" they use in the current HOP is not the same arrangement from the old HOP program (which did go back to the original Lincoln program at the Fair, though sometime in the 80s it was actually redone to end on a more soaring note) nor in fact is the WDWF...

    Question about Hall of Presidents WDWF tracks

    The part that was recycled is what leads up to the Lincoln speech and the underscore for the Lincoln speech itself (don't know if that's "Johnny Shiloh") except for the fact that in HOP it runs shorter to accomodate the shorter length of the Lincoln speech after the "All the armies of Europe...

    Question about Hall of Presidents WDWF tracks

    None of the original underscoring for the original HOP show has sadly ever been released (except for parts of it that were recycled from the original World's Fair "Great Moments" program which is available in its music only version).

    EPCOT 25th CD

    Sadly, the EPCOT that once was, is something Disney management is always determined to try and pretend never happened.....or if they do, they run it down for being "boring". I'm glad the music for "World Of Motion" has gotten to us, but I still need a clean megamix track of SE with the...

    DESPERATE: If you had wings!!

    Just to update this thread (I'm updating myself since I've been away from this forum for a long, long time), this is a reminder to me of why I too wish *something* else from IYHW would surface. The reason why we're only stuck with the Dixieland track is because of the unfortunate anti-WDW...
