[@alfredoroman6033]

My favorite!!!

[@ashleeglover9461]

I can't stop dancing to the song

[@disneydanny2]

it's a lot easier to do with this vbersion than the original soundtrack (the original had a flaw, mostly 2-beat tewmpo with 1 bar of 3 beats. that was 1 of the reasons why they wanted a new saoundtrack, the other being so they could add more Disney songs into the soundtrack.

[@DisneyDude1928]

Danny Eyheralde I really don’t like the original soundtrack because it just sounds off

[@chrispleasantable]

You can definitely do the Charleston on this song

[@blockbasedbuilders3068]

It will back in a few months I love main street electrical parade at disneyland resort in Anaheim California is my favorite attraction at the park because I love it so much

[@peppergaming8794]

any valid source of how you know it will be back in a few months

[@Chaneloweenz]

Sorry to burst your bubble but this parade came back in january 2017 and left in august 2017 and its gone for good it had its final farewell they already tore apart the floats

[@peppergaming8794]

Angelica Firefly any valid source for this because Disney didn't mention that this was its final run and if you compare this years final run to 1996 1996 was a farewell run this wasn't a farewell run and if it was Disney would have told us after it started but I believe that it will return

[@peppergaming8794]

Angelica Firefly since there has been no reply to my question, you have no reliable source that it has been permeantly retired but I still believe the parade will still return

[@vanessacastillo6960]

Angelica Firefly I don’t think the tore apart the floats but the parade probably won’t be coming back any time soon

[@NatetheConductor]

I like the America Part, even though it has been replaced by the new It’s a Small World float, which I still like :)

[@jerricaleonard2123]

The original Baroque Hoedown sounded like the background music from that Hanna-Barbera Pac-Man cartoon, this version sounds like it was made for the later New Super Mario Bros. games.

I am suddenly feeling sentimental about this parade because i know how beautiful it was, i haven’t heard anything about it but would really love it it returned for one last tour of duty or if it was updated to Mainstreet electric parade 2.0

[@Geeker82]

Darthsimpletext I’m hoping the later, this parade is to popular to be retired. If it does make a comeback they should at least update the parade units to reflect more like Tokyo’s version just on a smaller scale since Disneyland is smaller compared to Tokyo Disneyland

[@rosequartzsubs2029]

I saw the show three days before my birthday. It brought tears to my eyes to see my mom so happy. I'm making a version for my band to play my senior year, at the last concert.

This Pisses me off that Disney made such a huge deal about bringing it back and it wasn’t even the same parade, Especially the music

[@DisneyDude1928]

Garrett Peter I mean the soundtrack kicks all sorts of ass now so you gotta give them credit for that

[@Geeker82]

The Disney higher ups decided to make the change to the new soundtrack which make sense and due to a musical flaw in the original baroque hoedown soundtrack prior to Disney using the soundtrack in the parks.

[@disneydanny2]

I keep coming back to this every so often attempting to synch of 5 playbacks (one for each intro zone) but I find after synching 2 it gets to be a jumbled mess)

[@Geeker82]

after reading your on what your attempting I did some playing around myself, come to find out you'll need to place the intro audio and fanfare give or take about 11 seconds in on top of the Baroque Hoedown track making sure the tempo lines up so that the intro fanfare ends exactly as the Baroque Hoedown loops again

[@Chris9017]

Confirmed date to return is April 22nd with an all new Finale Float replacing To Honor America.

[@brandonogc8936]

Intros amazing

[@chaosdemonwolf1]

I worked there back in the 70's. My job was to make sure all the speakers worked and were sync'd with the zone speakers';

[@Geeker82]

wow that's cool! since that was pre-digital and everything controlled mechanically and analog I'm sure, what was the setup for the master audio control system in Disneyland and what kind of BGM system was used? I was always intrigued as a kid then on how the soundtrack was broadcasted...

[@chaosdemonwolf1]

@@Geeker82 NPX. This system is an audio matrix system which enables users to broadcast diversified sources selectively. The NPX system starts with 8x8(basic), and also expandable up to 32Xn. Through various module compositions, it can be installed from small-size to large-size broadcast system for its application scale such as hotel, restaurant, seminar room, conference center and even Disneyland. Sorry for not answering you sooner cause I've been sick. And it's likely it isn't used anymore due to bigger and better equipment.

[@disneydanny2]

any particular reason for the 3 second delay between video start and soundtrack start? or is a audio reenactment of how things were heard in the area you watched the parade?

[@Geeker82]

no reason, the raw audio file I have has that 3 second delay but decided to leave it in which is why you see that in the video...

Hello y’all! So…..I wrote the Main Street Electrical Parade on Chrome Music Lab, and I’m premiering that on my channel a week from now (same day that the actual parade is coming back to Disneyland)! I believe I wrote the original version and not this version, but still. So excited and the music is just so great and nostalgic!!

It’s also a tutorial on how to write it yourself, too!

[@JavaCake]

Weird how they created the song for the Dumbo unit but it never got used…

[@disneydanny2]

RUMORED to return AFTER Pixar fest

[@Geeker82]

Very nice, if true the downtime this parade has will allow Disneyland to give some of the parade units some much needed TLC

[@marellamofo]

Danny Eyheralde I hope this is true because I heard it was going to be permanently retired from all the Disney Resorts.

[@DisneyDude1928]

[@InsideDisneyOfficial]

+Danny Eyheradle At this point man we'll have to see what 2019 has in store for us. Pixar Play Parade is staying at Disneyland until November 4 (after that, play time is over apparently, *literally*) and Paint the Night is staying at DCA until November 7 to finish it's "limited time run". But I did hear a rumor suggesting that PTN is coming back after Festival of Holidays ends at DCA in 2019...

The 1977-2009 version is much better. This re-recording is too bland and now sounds like kiddie music. Just too cutesy instead of edgy.

[@Geeker82]

true I feel the same way but musically it needed to be updated to the new soundtrack and there's a reason for that. A bit of background history to this, the original Baroque Hoedown which is the name of the soundtrack was composed in a 2 beat tempo with a third beat in one measure of the entire song and if you were a parade performer at the time of when the original soundtrack was being used and wasn't paying attention you'd be marching/dancing on the wrong foot which drove the parade choreographers nuts for years and begged for the music to be rerecorded. Jean-Jacques Perrey the original composer for Baroque Hoedown in 1967 never intended nor was expecting for it to be used as a parade soundtrack but was pleasantly surprised to hear his music come down main street one night when he went to Disneyland.
