Slight local quibble about the 7/14/73 show: Casey identified the then-hometown of Clint Holmes as "Silver Springs, Maryland". It's Silver Spring, with no "s" on the end.
The pluralized version of the name, though, later reappeared as the title of a Fleetwood Mac song not about the city (Stevie Nicks has said she got the title "from a freeway sign in Maryland.")

Next weekend (7/27); 1977!! They usually don't move it ahead to 7/23, but they'll have to due to a guest host on 7/16.

They must have figured out it was a guest host week, the site is now saying 1976 is the year.

I was listening in the car doing errands today. I believe they played the full album version of "Silly Love Songs", but a bit later they edited down "Moonlight Feels Right" (maybe dropped the second verse). Can't say for sure, but if they did, that seems like a curious edit when they could have picked up time by playing the shorter version of Silly Love Songs. Also the break between Silly Love Songs and Got To Get You Into My Life seemed a bit disjointed...I'm wondering if XM edited out a few words?

The were several long odd pauses in the last hour. I don't think anything was edited, but something was weird.

I'm listening to the countdown now. I agree that it is weird. I had thought I lost my streaming feed with those pauses (Misty Blue, Let Her In, Rock & Roll Music). I wonder if XM was getting creative with their editing?

I think Sirius XM has decided that the quality of the edits don't matter, so they are getting pretty blatant with the choppy and disjointed presentation of the show.
This is the second time I remember that they played the week after the same year as last year. I recall when they played 1976 last year when "You'll Never Find" made its debut, and this year it was in its 2nd week on the charts. Same thing with the recent 1974 show.
I wish you guys would realize that the important part of posting what next week's show will be should be getting it right, not trying to be first.

Any guesses as to which July 1977 show will air on SXM this coming weekend (7/27)? And is it definitely 1977?

7/16 isn't even in the running, it's between 7/23 or 7/30. SXM has gone slightly early before, so the question is do they do a show that is four days late or one that is three days early?

Yes--the 7/16/77 show was hosted by Bruce Phillip Miller and even if it weren't guest hosted, it will be 11 days off of this Saturday's date, which is too long. It should be 7/23/77 for two reasons--SXM almost always picks the earlier of the two eligible dates, and...7/30/77 was aired last year. Not that they couldn't play it again, but I can't remember SXM ever repeating a show one year after it originally aired.

Speaking of which, has SXM repeated a show before in the history they've had AT40?

I figured out the theme, but I am not sure it applies to Simple Minds. Anyway, the missing act is the Average White Band (AWB).
