25 years of music from The Howard Stern Show

Sirius is opening up the archives of The Howard Stern Show and showcasing the most memorable musical performances from the past 25 years.
Starting on Friday, February 16th at 3pm ET and running all weekend long, Howard 101 is airing performances from music's biggest names, with commentary from musicians who have stopped by the show, along with memories from Howard and his cohorts, plus bits from inside the studio and off-site parties and road shows.
You'll hear the in-studio performances by legends such as James Taylor, Elton John, Stevie Wonder, AC/DC, Jethro Tull, Aerosmith, Alice Cooper, and Willie Nelson as well as classic performances by superstars like Dave Grohl, Alanis Morissette, Sheryl Crow, Counting Crows, and Stone Temple Pilots, among many others.
Recorded musical performances from 25 years of birthday shows, international shows and road shows will also air. Highlights include songs from Lenny Kravitz, David Bowie, Tom Jones, The Wallflowers, Sting and Bryan Adams.
And to add to the coolness, over the past 2 months interviews were conducted with artists (like Jon Bon Jovi, Dave Grohl, Steven Tyler, Rob Zombie, and Perry Farrell) to accompany their performances, and their commentary about their songs and experiences will also air.
Howard will also share which musicians and moments stood out to him from this remarkable collection. Robin, Fred, Gary, Artie, Scott the Engineer and Jackie "The Joke Man" Martling are just a few of The Howard Stern Show crew that will also reveal their favorite stories and memories.
There have been some truly great performances over the years, and this sounds like something that shouldn't be missed by any past or present Stern fan.
[Press Release]
Thanks Lee!

Enuf on Stern for chistsakes already. 20-25% of posts about him reaches the point of being overdone. It's SATRAD not STERNRAD.
Posted by: Pockpie | February 15, 2007 11:35 AM
he is the only one doing anything different then their daily show all week.
Stern = News
no one else in sat radio gets this kind of attention, wish there was more so that sat radio can grow even faster

PNess, anyone can issue a press release. The only place you will find this is on are blogs that cater to the SatRad crowd like Orbitcast and Forums. It is not getting any mainstream attention, sorry to burst your bubble but the Howard of the hour is Howard K. Stern.

Just more of the Sirius PR machine attempting to cover the bad financial numbers.
Posted by: XM Rocks ? | February 15, 2007 12:16 PM
This is a great special an no on can deny that. Ooh, don't forget the Billy West Special this weekend also.
By the way, I don't get the comment in regards to a Howard Stern special and hiding financial numbers.

I've been looking forward to this for about 20 years. I'll have my recorder ready...

Not for nothing, but I hope that even non-Stern fans see this special as something that's pretty damn cool. There's been some amazing performances on his show, and it's impressive that Sirius put together the interviews with the artists, as well as airing the performances themselves.
I don't care if you're a fan or not, this is something that you just NEVER would hear on terrestrial.

C'mon now, Ryan, you know some of the idiot "pests" that pollute this board will try to spin it as a negative no matter what you say. You can't argue with the retarded...

While I haven't found Stern funny since the 80's, before he was fired from his job in DC, this post is newsworthy from a programming perspective. There are probably some great performances. Perhaps Howard will tell his listeners how he invented the whole unplugged idea and that MTV ripped him off!
MikeHunt -- I just reported you to the RIAA and NAB. They may have to recall your recorder.

This is sooo hack! It doesn't compare to the Razzle Dazzle Show one the weekends! O&A are true pioneers! Musical performances are hack. Razzle Dazzle is the stuff of legend.
Posted by: Anonymous Coward | February 15, 2007 3:57 PM
Who cares about Sting? Opie and Anthony got Andy Summers and Stewart Copeland on. They're the real talent!

Posted by: pobresito | February 16, 2007 12:55 AM
Have been listening for two hours now, It's great stuff! Been listening to Howard and the other stations for over a year now. I fell sorry for the poor souls locked in to the poor quality shows of XM. NOT!!!

Sure wish I could have downloaded this to my computer so I could pick and choose which songs to burn onto a CD or three. BTW, why the fuck is there an XM ad on this page?
Posted by: Micki from Michigan | February 16, 2007 10:41 PM
Stop acting like because you are all big fans of Stern that anybody that doesn't like him is pathetic or something. More people don't like him then like him.
"C'mon now, Ryan, you know some of the idiot "pests" that pollute this board will try to spin it as a negative no matter what you say. You can't argue with the retarded..."
Retarded? Zombie Stern fans go into almost every XM (not even Opie & Anthony related) and post shit about how Stern is better then everyone or Opie & Anthony suck. That seems a little retarded to me. I'm sure lifeless Opie & Anthony fans do the same thing for Stern posts but you all need to get a life. Maybe a job?
"O@A FANS ARE POLE SMOKIN FAGGOTS!"
Real clever yet original... If you’re going to post something that stupid do everyone else a favor before posting that comment. Grab your Sirius in one hand and a pistol in another. Hold the Sirius really tight in your left hand. Think about how much you love Stern while in the process. With the right hand take the pistol insert it in your mouth and proceed to kill yourself. The world would sure be better off without unoriginal, useless maroons like you.
"Sure wish I could have downloaded this to my computer so I could pick and choose which songs to burn onto a CD or three. BTW, why the fuck is there an XM ad on this page?"
This isn't Howard Stern.com or a Sirius site. Of course there is going to be XM and Sirius ads on an in general Satellite radio website. More moronic Stern zombies don’t know a damn thing.

hoo hoo screw my fans i take things so serious i incourage people to stick a gun and their mouth and pull the trigger. people aren't allowed to have an opinion? took it a little far kid??
Posted by: FaFaFluFly ? | February 17, 2007 9:10 AM
They sure are and I just expressed mine. Harsh? Sure but people that post something as dumb and unintelligent as what he posted deserve an unintelligent harsh response.
Posted by: Hoo Hoo Screw My Fans I'm Howard Stern ? | February 17, 2007 9:19 AM
By the way I'm not a kid, unless over 25 is a kid in your mind. Post may be little childish but it was a response to another childish post.

Now that is a funny post. Pot calling the kettle black are we? While I am not going to point fingers it is very true that the o&a fans are a large part of this site (and probably have more that post here regularly) they are the ones that go into every howard post and make comments. I call it like a see it.
Posted by: Anonymous Coward | February 17, 2007 12:12 PM
Wow. So many songs that I haven't heard since they were originally aired. I think that Green Day's performance was great and I can't wait to hear it again.

Arguing on chat/posts is like competing in the Special Olympics. Even if you win,you're still retarded.

First get a ear phone jack with split rca plugs.Plug ear phone jack in audio out of receiver and rca plugs in vcr or dvd recorder.Get a long playing tape or dvd and record on appropiate line.This shit is gold

Your calling it blindly if your denying Stern fans do the same thing because the fact is both Stern and Opie & Anthony fans do it. I wasn't biased and even said in my previous post that Opie & Anthony fans do the same thing.

The “Music of Howard Stern” blew me away this weekend. So many great performances; it’s impossible to limit my vote to one ‘favorite’.
So many wonderful memories were awakened by:
Billy Preston “Medley”
Joe Walsh “Desperado”
James Taylor “Woodstock”
The Fab Faux “I AmThe Walrus”
The Bee Gees “Medley”
Mark Farner from Grand Funk Railroad “I’m Your Captain (Closer to Home)”
Jethro Tull “Living in the Past”
Leslie West “Voodoo Chile”
Bon Jovi “Medley”
John Mellencamp “Medley”
But most of all, I was moved to tears when I heard Billy Preston sing “That’s The Way God Planned It”.
Howard, you ROCK!

Hello, Everyone knew when Howard moved he was taking Friday's off GET OVER IT. I like the fact that BUBBA is going to be on Friday. I like Bubba's show i know i have been a fan of Howards for 15 years,when i e-mail the show i get know response from anyone. When i e-mail Bubbas show i get a respose right away. Free shirts i was sent and a Bubba Dog Tag.I ask for a bumber sticker from Howards show and i don't even get a response. What's up with that i know he dosen't do the selling shit but i would like to have a fucking fist sticker. LOVE THE SHOW THIS WEEKEND. did't know each day would be different. WHY THE XM SHIT ON THE SITE CPOWERS OUT

Seriously,who are Opie an Anthony?I'm from Cal.and I never heard of them.Are they a N.Y. thing? Why the animosity?
Posted by: pobresito | February 18, 2007 9:12 PM
You did not include some really good performances on the music special like The Lion Sleeps Tonight and the Go-Go's what's the deal?
Posted by: Anonymous Coward | February 19, 2007 12:03 AM
Did I miss the music, I ched over and over!!!
Posted by: D Manheim | February 19, 2007 10:10 AM
Anyone busting on Howard is purely jealous. He is the only innovative personality out there- the rest are hacks and rip-off artists and no talents- especially O&A- they are so talentless it is disgusting- like a piece of shit disguising itself to be chocolate!
Posted by: TNice | February 19, 2007 11:44 AM
my vote for top song is James Taylor-Woodstock. Can we somehow download the whole show? It was great.

Howard Stern is a pig. Here's hoping sirius goes into the toilet.
