You can get a free month trial if you do not already subscribe.

I'm very interested in hearing whether the Blaze of Glory tracks they are planning to play.. assuming they are really going to dive into the album, will be remastered.

Sirius did this a few years ago. Unlike the Bruce station though, there were no bootlegs at all - just the same damn album tracks. It got boring after a while and they stopped it.

And I will bet money that the Blaze tracks are not remastered. Paragon told us a few years ago that they had never been remastered and I doubt if anyone has done it since

Hopefully, this is actually going to be different and not auto-pilot. They need to add value over streaming services, not just serve up what anyone with Spotify and the like can play on demand.

Ugh, I've been dealing with their registration process. The free trial is easy enough for streaming on your computer, but if you want to use the app on your phone you are looking at $16.00 a month.

Anyone wanting to take advantage of the basic desktop/laptop access for free should probably wait until after this Friday in order to have the free trial still running for the Miami show on December 3rd.

I think this will be a good test run to see how Jon's vocals are on the classics for THINFS Tour. Not expecting much and to be honest expect Jon will not be that different from how he sounded on WAN Tour. I accept this. He is coming up to 55 nearly, not in his 20's or 30's anymore.

I can't copy and paste that link bc I'm using a mobile device but I just read a press release that said this time the station would feature rarities, live recordings, and music from Jon's library. Also that the station will be back in February.

Well, then you're in for a reality check. Based on bits an pieces (Howard Stern show, certain moments in album showcase shows) he should sound about the same as in the 2015 mini tour. So the BWC tour vocals in comparison will sound like prime Jon.

Yup. Guess we should find out tomorrow if it's worth the service. My Sirius antenna in my car broke a long while back following going through the car wash, so I'm limited to using my phone as the radio device.

I'm on the Bon Jovi channel now and they are playing a song by the group White Stripes! Who I have never heard of.

I forgot about this until just now. Jumped on and there is a live performance of Bad Name playing, but I can't honestly say I've heard this one before. It's not from any of the usual suspects as far as album releases or B Sides. No pyro at start, but it's a stand-alone with an intro from Jon asking for some help.

Maybe this channel will deliver on it's promise?
