No word on this coming weekend's AT40: The 70's show yet? Could it be 10/25/1975?

Assuming no changes due to death dedications, the extras should remain unchanged from previous airings...
10/23/1976 2010/2013/2018 Hr 1: Stand Tall - Burton Cummings
10/23/1976 2010/2013/2018 Hr 2: You Make Me Feel Like Dancing - Leo Sayer
10/23/1976 2010/2013/2018 Hr 3: Car Wash - Rose Royce

Now, here are my guesses for the AT40: The 70's standalone shows to be paired with Christmas B shows for the month of November-Decemeber, 2024:
November 2-3, 2024: November 4, 1972 (last played in 2012 - This is the AT40 show when "Convention 1972" by the Delegates enters the AT40 territory - and it's perfect for the Presidental Election Day coming up!)
November 9-10, 2024: November 10, 1979 (last played in 2013 - 4 hour show w/1st. hour optional)
November 16-17, 2024: November 19, 1977 (last played in 2016)
November 23-24, 2024: November 25, 1978 (last played when? - 4 hour show w/1st. hour optional)
November 30-December 1, 2024: December 4, 1971 (last played when?)
December 7-8, 2024: December 7, 1974 (last played in 2016)
December 14-15, 2024: Decemnber 13, 1975 (last played in 2017)
December 21-22, 2024: December 19, 1970 ( last played in 2014 - featuring "So Close" by Jake Holmes as the wrong #39 song, unless thanks to Ken Martin it is replaced with the correct #39 song of "Love The One You With" by Stephen Stills with "So Close" played as an OPTIONAL EXTRA, could also be the other way around with "So Close" in the show and "Love the One You With" as the OPTIONAL EXTRA)
AND FOR THE YEAR ENDER FOR December 28-29, 2024 and January 4-5, 2025: The Top 80 of 1973 (A show - Originally done by Ken Martin at the end of 2016 for WTOJ and shows the Top 80 of 1973 ranked by Billboard rather than the AT40 rankings for the Top 40 of 1973 - 6 hours total) and the Top 100 of 1976 (B show - 8 hours total)

Fingers crossed that 10/23/76 will be supersized by WTOJ this Sunday.

December 4, 1971, last played in 2019, so I'd prefer 12/11/1971, not played since 2014, for December 7-8 or December 14-15, 2024. I'll predict November 22, 1975, not played by Premiere since 2010, on the weekend of November 23-24, 2024.  |

Regarding the 10-23-76 show, Chicago finally gets its first #1, after years of Top 10 songs, but now finally a #1. Entering the Top 40 is "Tonight's The Night" by Rod Stewart at #35. The song would hit number one breaking the record at the time for the longest #1 of the 70s. A year later we know Debby Boone broke that record.

Fingers crossed that 10/23/76 will be supersized by WTOJ this Sunday. There are really some longer in length songs this week--"Magic Man", "Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald", "She's Gone", "More Than A Feeling", "Muskrat Love", and "Fear The Repear" to name a few. |

"AT40" always played the single edit of "More Than A Feeling".

Muskrat Love is only about 3:30--not that long a song (although it may seem like it).  By the way, there were single edits for many of the songs you mentioned with Wreck by Gordon Lightfoot still clocking in at close to 6:00. Of course, Peter Frampton's Do You Feel Like We Do is just over 7 minutes in it's 45 version. |

I remember a severe edit on "Muskrat Love." That's what made me think of it. I have never gotten tired of "Do You Feel", which in its album version is over 14 minutes long.

Of course, Peter Frampton's Do You Feel Like We Do is just over 7 minutes in it's 45 version. This is not a suggestion but just an observation. I wonder if a 4 hour show would even be enough time for the show if all the Lp versions of songs were used. Would love to hear such a show in any case. A lot of great songs among those long versions. And there are what are called disco purrfect versions of such songs as "You don't have to be a Star" and "A Fifth of Beethoven" on YouTube in the 7 minute range that I listen to instead when hearing these shows. |

With this years World Series set, I don't think anyone commented on Casey's story about Bobby Goldsboro in last week's show. But the World Series that year was wrapping up the weekend of the 10/20/73 show with games 6 and 7 played on the 20th and 21st.
