The new DVD set has 90 percent of the music unchanged. Looks like the main sticks-in-the-mud now are the Beatles, Rolling Stones and the Time-Warner company (the Warner Bros., Atlantic, Elektra, Reprise labels)... those three entities account for most of the songs that Shout! couldn't get cleared.
Season 1
PREACHER: this was the third episode produced, but the last to air that season
I'm Down, The Beatles
HOLD UP: one other change in this episode was done just before the original airing. The dialogue is reversed or dubbed whenever Hamilton Camp's character mentions brand names.

IN CONCERT
Sympathy For The Devil, The Rolling Stones... this is a very obvious dub job, done early in the syndicated run, and it makes Gary Sandy look silly while he's singing along.
THE DOCTOR'S DAUGHTER
The Long Run, The Eagles... watch the turntable when this song plays near the end; it's clearly been left on 78 speed, instead of 33
MOST IMPROVED STATION
61 Clay, Ron Nagle

JENNIFER AND JOHNNY'S CHARITY
Come Together, Beatles
CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE
Take My Heart, Kool & the Gang
THE CREATION OF VENUS: this episode is the backstory of much of the pilot; I always thought someone should edit all of this together, along with the re-created scenes from "Mama's Review" with Carol Bruce playing Mother Carlson. Interesting that the only song this episode has in common with the pilot is "Queen of the Forest" by Ted Nugent... the first song played after the format change.
Wavelength, Van Morrison
