Pink Floyd Weekend On Sirius XM Deep Tracks
Sirius XM is launching something great for classic rock fans. You gotta be on the ball though, as this channel is a limited engagement and it starts this weekend! The Pink Floyd Channel will feature music, interviews and historic concert broadcasts from the Pink Floyd archives. The iconic band is taking over Deep Tracks channel!
Hear classic Pink Floyd and their newly remastered catalog which was recently released as part of the “Why Pink Floyd” campaign. In addition listeners will get bonus content in the form of solo albums by band members Roger Waters and David Gilmour and other rarities including demos, hosted by Sirius XM’s Jim Ladd.
The Pink Floyd Channel will air Friday, May 25 through Monday, May 28 on Ch. 27. The channel will be available again Friday, June 29 through Monday, July 9 on Sirius Ch. 142 and XM Ch. 43; and available as a 24/7 channel online on Ch. 802 and through the Sirius XM Internet Radio App for smartphones and mobile devices beginning Friday, June 29 for an extended period.
If you are a Pink Floyd Fan this is your weekend to kick back, crack open a beer, and enjoy some classic rock that defined an era!
I agree that Pink Floyd is, indeed, an iconic band of epic proportion. But, I would suggest enjoying their works with something other than a beer. At least, that’s the way we used to listen about 35 years ago. : )
While admitting the iconic stature of this band, I was certainly hoping for a little more of the programming. Endless loops of Dark Side Of the Moon, Animals and The Wall drove me elsewhere this weekend. I kept punching in Deeptracks as this is my “go to” station, but was forced to spend my time elsewhere. SURELY, their catalog contains more music worthy of play than just these three, although I was pleasantly surprised to hear “See Emily Play” once. Otherwise- dreary.
I loved it – especially the super-deep tracks like unheard demos – very interesting – Only flaw is that it needs to be permanent…. If G-Dead and Pearl Jam get their own stations after all…. Please!!! this was far too brief – bring it back full-time! Many Thanks! Shine on….
I haven’t been able to find the channel since the weekend! I keep getting a message that it’s off the air! What gives??
