Rock News Story Of The Year No. 1: PINK FLOYD
In mid-April, Pink Floyd announced plans to launch a weekly series of full concert videos on YouTube during the global coronavirus pandemic.
The iconic UK outfit – who had been hosting #PinkFloydFriday video releases on YouTube for some time – revealed that they would begin the limited-run series with “Pulse”, a 1994 recording filmed at the now-demolished venue of Earls Court in London, UK during The Division Bell Tour.
“We'd like to wish you all the best, and hope that you and your families are staying safe and well in these difficult times,” shared Pink Floyd on social media. “We will continue to post as normal to hopefully give you some interesting and diverting images, music and video to help us all get through this.”
News of the band’s concert streaming plans went viral on its way to becoming the most-read story in hennemusic history.
