Following the big reaction to CapsMix 2008, here’s a complete playlist from a recent Capitals game–every song played, whether a snippet or the full track, including organ and announcement queues–courtesy of the Caps’ production staff.
As mentioned in the original Behind the Screens post, the crew has to be impressively coordinated to pull of each game’s entertainment . . . and this playlist is just a sample of the work going into each night. The DJ uses Click Effects ProAudio 6.0 to organize and edit the music, plan out the evening’s song rotation, and quickly access tracks during the game to fit the situation (e.g., a power play).
Sadly, as we’re not getting a kickback from iTunes, I didn’t link each song this time so you’ll have to hunt down the songs yourselves. Enjoy!

Very cool, I’d always wondered what the program they used for that looked like.
Is there any way someone can talk the production crew into putting the Unleash the Fury video on the Caps website? Or YouTube? Or is it already there?
Good question David–so I asked the Capitals. Their response was that while they are able to show movie clips in-game, they are not permitted to provide those medleys/clips via YouTube or other public forums due to copyright restrictions.
Thanks for doing this list and the Caps Mix. Now I know the name of one of the songs played during warm-ups that I really like. A long time ago, I read that the players select the music played during warm-ups. Is this still true?
Remember when they played an organ instead of snippets of mostly annoying songs?
Nice job. Although, I am ever on the alert for the return of the “curse of the soccer song”. The last time it was played at the VC was Glen Hanlon’s last home game. Eternal vigiliance is the price of victory
Just say no to soccer songs at hockey games.
Does anyone know the name of the song that goes “let it out” its kinda slow until it leads up to those lyrics. They played it last night in game 7. Thanks.
