Indiainfo.com,
New Delhi's The History Channel, an infotainment television channel, has launched a 17-part special series on classic rock music.
The series History Rocks was launched Friday with a concert by the Indian band
PARIKRAMA in the capital.
It will formally go on air June 5 and will present recordings of memorable concerts, rare documentaries and interviews with the cult figures of music and offer a glimpse into the lives of the rock legends spanning four decades of rock music since the '60s, a communiqué by the channel said.
"It will be a beautiful series because I watched when it was on television the last time. It is being re-launched with several new additions and new features this time, in a completely new avatar. I am looking forward to its inaugural episode on
METALLICA's Black, the documentary on
BOB MARLEY and
PINK FLOYD's Dark Side Of The Moon.
"There is also a docu-feature on Pink Floyd's signature album, which no other channel has shown before," Subir Malik of Parikrama told IANS Saturday.
Parikrama played 10 originals, which include two new releases - Lechaim (an Israeli word which means
'two lives') and Life Is Certain - for the History Channel concert. Besides, it also paid tribute to
JIMI HENDRIX, AC/DC and
Pink Floyd. Read more
