Correction to my post about what Premier is playing this weekend - it is the show from 04.29.1978 (not 04.27)

I too noticed the Fleetwood Mac stolen name story had been deleted this past weekend. I don't understand the programming schedule. Why not start at noon ET and do a 2 1/2 hour show every weekend (except for 4 hour shows)? What's so important to end at 2:20ish? If the shows were editied to fit into 2 1/2 hour time limit - I might understand - but 2:20? Sirius just go back to regular programming. Leave in the stories, leave in the pre-70 extra songs. Sirius XM shows you it is AT40 - the 70's. You're listening to a show - and these things are part of the show. Tim I don't know that they are trying to get the show done by 2:20, when they do the four hour shows the show sometimes runs a hair past 3pm. I think the three shows just come out to two hours twenty minutes once the commercials are removed. I thought maybe the reason for the Fleetwood Mac edit was because a non-70's song was played from FM like "Oh Well" (1969) or something, but it wasn't. I would be curious to know why the edit was done.

skuncle - good point. I looked at the actual times of several of last Sirius XM shows and Premiere shows that I recorded and edited. Sirius XM shows are around 135 mins and Premiere shows are around 140 (without Premiere extras). So even the original shows (minus commercials) playing the long intro and closing theme and longer theme at hourly breaks still would not hit 150 minutes.
Still would like Sirius XM to play all the stories and pre-70's content and hit the 140 minute mark.

Anyone having issues with the new Sirius XM player? I would get a "Content not currently available - 1001" message and lost the show probably 8-10 times today. The one good thing with new player is the rewind feature - so I could get reconnected and go back and get the portion missed. Of course if I hadn't lost the content to start with - wouldn't have to rewind. Tim

I'm not having that problem with the new player. Works fine for me. LOVE the rewind feature. ;D

I would like to congratulate Casey and the crew for bringing in Sweet's "Love is Like Oxygen" at under two minutes! You would think it couldn't be done!
Seriously, when did move to the 4-hour format? This rushing through songs and cutting them down sucks! I want the luxury of the 4-hour show!

Since this coming weekend starts on 5/4, would it more likely be 5/5 or 4/28 1973? Is it possible it could even be 5/12?

They are going to play 1972 next week. Any idea which week's chart they will use?

Re: 5/05/73 #33 -- I've always loved "I'm Doing Fine Now" by New York City, yet never knew before hearing Casey's intro that the group's lead vocalist also did vocals for the Five Satins (e.g., "In the Still of the Nite"). Perhaps that accounts for my strong interest in "... Fine Now", which was only modestly successful during its chart run in spring 1973.

Bobbymagicradio is playing 1970 all weekend and features the Hot 100 that SXM is mostly ignoring.
And since AT40 began in July 1970, there are lots of songs that won't be heard on SXM since they've gone downhill.

On this weekends show, 5/5/73, Casey said he thought Lou Reed's "Walk On The Wild Side" was "perhaps the strangest song of the year". Do you think he knew what the song was about? I was only 2 in 1973 but I know the world was a lot more innocent back then. Was the songs subject matter lost on most people?

Before "Walk On The Wild Side" was released as a single,Reed's label,RCA Records,deleted a line that mentions a specific sexual act.
