I heard on XM today that Pearl Jam radio will be around for atleast the rest of the month. No word on how long it will run for after that but I wouldn't hold my breath for it being a permanent thing.

maybe the xm people won't have it for long then. but the sirius will.

The mid-day daily concert has been such a boost at work for me. For someone who doesn't download much and prefers to stream shows, this arrangement has been perfect. Great job Rob and co.

Today's '08 Bonnaroo show - the dedicated No More transitioning into Release was almost too much for me, nearly lost it at my desk. Just an unbelievable encore there.

Can they add in a Morning Commute Concert... I feel like I am hearing the same loop over and over...

I've only been able to listen here and there and was wondering if they play ALL acts associated with PJ . . . Temple, Brad, Soundgarden, Mad Season, etc....

Really been enjoying PJ radio on Sirius. The only criticism I would have is that the playlist seems to be a bit repetitive at times. Given the hundreds of live recordings available and the vastness of their catalog it would seem that the chances for hearing the same exact track from a specific show in the same day, or even the same week, would be remote. Yet I've observed this on multiple occasions over the last week or so. Take a cover like Kick Out The Jams for example, which according to PJ's official web site has been played live 16 times over the last 6 years. But if you look at the playlist stats from PJ radio, of the 9 times the song has been played on the radio in the last week, all but one of them comes from the MSG show this year. And on a few of those days the exact same track was played more than once. I find that odd. I checked several other random songs and discovered the same sort of repetitiveness with many of them. I can see how you could play the same song more than once a day, but if they do that wouldn't it better to pull from different shows?

That is where the difference between the online PJ Radio and the Sirius/XM comes in, especially as the Sirius one gets off the ground in these first few weeks. The online PJ Radio explores more vastness of the live catalog, while Sirius/XM is a bit more streamlined for the average fan, as well as the hardcore. An interesting balance to achieve. But I hear you on the versions and we're working on getting more and different versions of things into their system, which also can't hold every version of every song at the same time. We are dealing with some technical limitations, but give it a bit more time and more versions will be making their way in.

I've heard TotD, Mad Season, and Jeff Ament solo on there.

Anyone hear the Mamason demos? WOW!!! I caught the last 15 seconds of Footsteps (arggh), and a good bit of Once. Now that's what you call going into the archives!
