Confession time: there have been occasions where I'll come up with a 
really good
loop during the soundcheck and save it for the performance.

It's new in the sense that it wasn't composed at home and stored in memory.
It's old in the sense that the audience was not present when the loop was
created.

Anyone care to draw the line? (-8
