Last year "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon" celebrated a whole week of the Rolling Stones. In May, Bob Marley got his due. Now, the music-loving talk host is setting aside the week of Sept. 26-30 to honor one of the most beloved bands in history, Pink Floyd.
NBC announced on Thursday (Sept. 22) the lineup for Floyd Week, with artists including The Shins, Foo Fighters, Pearl Jam, MGMT and Dierks Bentley, who each night will perform classic tracks from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame band.
Better still, founding members Roger Waters and Nick Mason will be stopping by early in the week to chat with Fallon. Here's a day-by-day breakdown of the festivities (9/26-30), according to NBC.
Monday: The Shins will kick off the week and perform "Breathe" from "The Dark Side of the Moon." This will actually be the band's first TV appearance in four years. Floyd drummer Mason is stopping by for a talk segment with Fallon.
Tuesday: Roger Waters is teaming up with Foo Fighters (for the first time ever) to perform "In the Flesh," off the singer-bassist's opus "The Wall." Fallon will also get a crack at interviewing Waters during the show.
Wednesday: MGMT will take the stage to perform the early Floyd track, "Lucifer Sam," off 1967's "The Piper at the Gates of Dawn." The echo-heavy song, written and sung by original frontman Syd Barrett, was only performed by the band in the year of its release, but it's since been covered by the likes of The Flaming Lips and Jay Farrar (Son Volt/Uncle Tupelo).
Thursday: "Late Night" will go country when hugely popular country charmer Dierks Bentley takes the mic to handle the Floyd staple, "Wish You Were Here."
Friday: Pearl Jam will round out the week with their take on "Mother," another massive track off "The Wall." PJ recently made their Fallon debut by unveiling the new track, "Ole." Eddie and co. are riding high as they celebrate the 20th anniversary of their debut, "Ten," along with the release of "Pearl Jam 20," a film, book and soundtrack.
This week-long celebration of Pink Floyd is timed for the release of the band's 14 remastered studio albums, a 16-CD box set with those releases, and an ambitious 6-disc box set focused solely on "The Dark Side of the Moon," which includes previously unreleased audio and video.

This sounds like I need to watch it. Especially the Waters interview.

Taken from a recent Audioholics reply regarding "Club Polk" and Polk speakers:
"I'm yet to hear a Polk speaker that merits more than a sentence and 60 seconds discussion."![:\](https://forum.polkaudio.com/resources/emoji/confused.png ":\")
My response is: If you need 60 seconds to respond in one sentence, you probably should't be evaluating Polk speakers.....

Enough of the promotions for the new versions of Floyd material,us die hard fans have spent enough coin on thier output, they need to regroup get along ( here that Roger & Dave ) and put out some new material for us Floyd fans to bad they did not accomplish that before the passing of Richard Wright (R.I.P.).Home Theater

Monday's segment with Nick Mason was kinda weak- Jimmy played the dazed 'fan', not quite sure what to ask Nick. They had the DSTOM Immersion set out - looks nice, as does the scarf, and like Jimmy - not quite sure to make of the marbles.

A couple of months ago, The Flaming Lips did "Breathe" on the Jimmy Fallon show. You can see it on Youtube. It was really well done.

SACD quality!
Animals will be the test. I'll have the Discovery Box Set and the DSOTM Immersion set soon enough, I want to hear the 2496 DSOTM remaster compared to 16-bit, and very curious to hear Animals. I have the original Animals as well as the remaster from the Oh By The Way box set. Great album. Sound quality is crap. Can't wait to hear the new one, now you've got my hopes up!Good music, a good source, and good power can make SDA's sing. Tubes make them dance.
