Crazy--can't remember when SXM played two consecutive late-70's shows before in back-to-back weeks. If it's 1/15/77 (which history would tell us it probably will be), it's a show I have yet to year...

Only halfway through listening to the 01/10/76 show and it has some noticeable audio defects. The audio stream stopped once during "Let It Shine", the sound faded in and out during "Hurricane" and the song skipped multiple times during "Love Machine". And I just heard a skip at the start of "Fox on the Run' and at the start of "I Write The Songs" You'll notice another odd thing about the audio on this show--about halfway through, the fidelity changes slightly and is that way through the end. The second half is a little louder, but also a little noisier and sped up. Casey almost sounds like he's doing Shaggy's voice at times. I think it might be like that on the original show--perhaps this one was not remastered before SXM aired it?

jcaragon will like this but the numbers that Casey gave re: acts from non-English speaking countries is about to change from 9 countries and 10 acts to 9 countries and 11 acts. Abba will turn the trick with "Dancing Queen", a song that ironically will debut on the next week's show. Sweden will join Germany as the only countries with 2 such acts.

I guess it will more likely be 1/22/72 and not 1/29/72, based on their past history. Too bad because 1/29 has not aired before but 1/22 has already been aired by Premiere.

It will likely be 1/22/72 marking the second straight year that Sirius has played a show with the 8 minute version of "American Pie". They played the 1/20/79 show last year which features it as an archive song. And they just played 1977 but it does not create a piggyback with the Premiere show this week with 1/22/77 being skipped over. So 1/22/72 is played but 1/22/77 is not played and neither is 1/22/83 for that matter.

I can't listen today but can someone report in and say whether it's the 1/22 or 1/29/72 show that SXM is airing this weekend?

I hope it's 1/22/72 because that is the show that I already had and just finished listening to now. If it is, see if you can figure out who the 5 British artists are that Casey mentioned. I only came up with 4. And a mistake that he definitely made is saying the Jackson 5 had 6 top 10 hits to this point. They had 6 prior release of "Sugar Daddy" but with it already at #10, they have upped their total to 7. Interesting to see if SXM plays the Don McLean album cut. That gives him the last songs of hours 2 and 3 and as a result, AT40 almost played the shortest and longest songs on his Lp that went to #1 this week. "American Pie" is obviously the longest and "Til Tomorrow" is the cut they played clocking in at 2:10, longer only than a 1:40 song on the album.

I'm hoping 1/29/92 because I've heard the 1/22 show already but not 1/29.

Other than SXM playing Casey Kasem's AT40, this channel still lacks in depth and plays the same songs over and over again.
And why aren't the songs who get played on SXM's AT40 added to the regular rotation? All SXM wants to do is ignore certain hits not being played.

Hopefully, Indycolt will answer this question too--he and I both hate the fact that 70s on 7 has gone downhill since the ill advised "merger". Until SXM decides that deeper playlists instead of "familiar" hits are what drives the channel, nothing will change. Perhaps the departure of CEO Mel Karmazin will signal a change for the better but I wouldn't believe it until I see it actually taking place.

They do have to add to their playlists. The only time you get to hear the rare stuff is on the countdown. I also think they may use the same playlist over and over. A couple weeks ago I heard Cher's "Half Breed" at roughly the same time three days in a row while driving home from work.

SXM is playing 1/22/72 this weekend. Listened to part of it this afternoon. First time hearing "Once You Understand"; my wife and I agree that it's not music.

Would that be 2/4 or 1/28, what's so hard about posting an actual date since this weekend is the first weekend in February?!

It's likely 1/28/78, as 2/04 follows this coming weekend's Sunday date (February 3rd); SXM has been recently consistent with this approach to its featured AT40 countdowns. I recall that the station announces only the year of the next 70s countdown, not the chart date.
