Product Description This landmark DVD features the first ever film of Pink Floyd playing the band's seminal album, The Dark Side of the Moon, live in concert. The set documents the 1994 Division Bell tour and was filmed at London's Earls Court during a record-breaking 14-night residency. The two-disc release contains the full concert performance with rare backstage footage and previously unseen extras making the collection a must-have for Pink Floyd fans. Disc 2 features a live filmed performance of Pink Floyd--David Gilmour, Nick Mason and Rick Wright--performing the group's towering masterpiece, The Dark Side of the Moon, in its glorious entirety during the second half of the Division Bell concert. Included on disc 1 are "Shine on You Crazy Diamond," "Another Brick in the Wall (Part 2)," "High Hopes," and "Learning to Fly" as well as never-before-seen rarities such as Bootlegging the Bootleggers and exclusive behind-the-scenes footage of life on the road with one of the world's biggest and most influential rock bands. Mixed in mind-expanding 5.1 surround sound and digitally re-mastered by James Guthrie, the Pulse DVD includes some of original screen films used for the 1970s concert performances of The Dark Side of the Moon (which were never filmed) as well as the visual components for the piece which were remade for the 1994 tour. .com At long last Pink Floyd: Pulse has arrived on DVD, and Floyd fans already know it's a major cause to celebrate. The original VHS release was a milestone bestseller, but it seemed to take forever for the DVD to arrive, with numerous delays while Floyd guitarist David Gilmour and long-time Floyd producer James Guthrie labored to restore, re-edit, and remix this legendary concert video in 5.1-channel Dolby Surround Sound. The resulting two-disc set was well worth the wait: While the limitations of the original video source are still evident in the sometimes-hazy image quality (Gilmour would later admit the concert should have been captured on film), Floyd fans will unanimously agree that Pulse has never looked or sounded better, and only the absence of group co-founder Roger Waters prevents this from being the ultimate document of Pink Floyd in performance. (Even without Waters, it's easily one of the group's most impressive stage productions.) Gracefully directed with minimal intrusion by veteran music video and concert director David Mallet, and shot on video during Pink Floyd's two-week stint at London's Earls Court Exhibition Centre in October 1994, this 145-minute performance (from Floyd's Division Bell tour) is a sonic marvel to behold. Under a massive arch festooned with then-state-of-the-art laser, lighting, and projection systems, the 1987 incarnation of Pink Floyd (Gilmour, keyboardist Richard Wright, and drummer Nick Mason) and their stellar supporting band kicks off with "Shine on You Crazy Diamond" (a loving tribute to Floyd co-founder Syd Barrett), followed by four tracks from The Division Bell, two from 1987's A Momentary Lapse of Reason, "Another Brick in the Wall (Part 2)" from 1979's magnum opus The Wall, and leading into intermission with an absolutely stunning performance of "One of These Days," the timeless opening track from 1971's Meddle. The centerpiece of Disc 2 is a near-perfect performance of 1974's Dark Side of the Moon in its entirety--reason enough to make this a must-have DVD for even the most casual Floyd admirers. And while no one will ever re-create the sheer magnificence of Clare Torry's original tour de force vocals on "The Great Gig in the Sky," it's safe to say that backup singers Sam Brown, Claudia Fontaine, and Durga McBroom deliver the next best thing, in addition to seamless contributions throughout the concert. After the closing heartbeat of "Eclipse," the concert ends with encore performances of "Wish You Were Here," "Comfortably Numb," and a no-holds-barred, pyrotechnically explosive rendition of The Wall's "Run Like Hell," all showcasing Gilmour's guitar mastery with frequent close-ups of his picking and fret-work as seen throughout the concert. (Like Gilmour, Mason and Wright were never dynamic onstage, and that's true here as well, but their technical precision is fully evident, and while guitarist Tim Renwick and saxophonist Dick Parry are each given moments to shine, bassist Guy Pratt is a worthy substitution for Waters, especially when vocally sparring with Gilmour on "Run Like Hell.") With beautiful packaging, an 8-page booklet, and menu designs by long-time Floyd associate Storm Thorgerson, the DVDs offer an abundance of bonus features including "Bootlegging the Bootleggers," featuring surprisingly good-quality "boot" video performances of "What Do You Want From Me?," "On the Turning Away," "Poles Apart," and "Marooned." The surreal round-ratio screen films seen throughout the concert can all be viewed independently (still in round format, and several offered in both original and alternate versions). Music videos for "Learning to Fly" and "Take It Back" are included on Disc 1, along with "Tour Stuff" including maps, itineraries, and stage plans for the 1994 tour. "Say Goodbye to Life as We Know It" is a playful backstage video (mostly involving the production staff's ongoing quest for a good pint of beer), and after delivering a heartfelt introduction to Pink Floyd's 1996 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (with Roger Waters and Syd Barrett acknowledged by Gilmour), Smashing Pumpkins leader Billy Corgan joins Gilmour and Wright for a moving acoustic performance of "Wish You Were Here" (directed at Waters, perhaps?). Additional features include album cover art, a photo gallery, and the concert-only audio choice between a 448kbps audio bitstream or a higher-quality 640kbps stream for higher-quality DVD players. The system set-up feature ensures that audiophiles will achieve optimum speaker performance in keeping with Pink Floyd's exacting technical standards. In tandem with the superior concert presentation, these features make Pulse one of the best--if not the best--music DVDs of 2006, guaranteed to satisfy Floyd fans for many years to come. --Jeff ShannonMore from Pink Floyd and David Gilmour Pulse (CD) Is There Anybody Out There?/The Wall Live Pink Floyd 1980-81 Pink Floyd--The Wall 25th Anniversary (DVD) The Division Bell, Pink Floyd Delicate Sound of Thunder, Pink Floyd A Momentary Lapse of Reason, Pink Floyd Live 8 on DVD--Featuring Pink Floyd Pink Floyd--Live at Pompeii (Director's Cut) (DVD), Pink Floyd On an Island, David Gilmour

Makes You Almost Feel Bad for Roger...But Not Quite
I was born in 1964, so was not of concert going age during the Dark Side, Wish You Were Here, or even Animals Tours. However, I worshipped Pink Floyd, and would play their albums until the grooves were worn to nothing. Like most teens growing up in the 1970s, Dark Side was my all time favorites, and was especially enjoyed with headphone while, um, let's just say enjoying certain libations not approved by Nancy Reagan.By the time I got to see Pink Floyd live, it was after Roger Waters had left, and a nasty lawsuit between him and the remaining members was over, leaving Gilmour and the others with the right to continue under the same name. The excitement of going to the show was somewhat less than it would have been had the group been unchanged. I was always one of those who thought that Roger was Pink Floyd....and I could not have been more wrong. The "Momentary Lapse" album was outstanding, as was the concert at Tampa Stadium in the mid 1980s.While Roger's contribution to the group can not be overstated (He wrote almost all of their stuff, including all of Dark Side), he is simply, and unfortunately, not needed at all for the PERFORMANCE of their music. Almost all of the vocals on Dark Side come from one of the greatest guitarists of all time, David Gilmour (save Brain Damage, which actually sounds just as good with Gilmour singing). If their were a trial on whether Pink Floyd can perform without Roger at the same level, then this DVD, PULSE, would be Exhinbit 1. In fact, it would be the whole trial, and the case would be closed. Pulse was performed in London in 1994, and David, Nick, and Richard are at the very top of their game. Sure, by now David is in his 50s, and may not have quite the voice he did in his 20s, but you would never know it.The production of this concert is "insane good." One of my favorite parts of the DVD is the end of side one, when they perform "One of These Days," featuring David Gilmour haunting riff on the lap slide guitar. This pre-Dark Side song, which was released as the first track on Meddle, would be seemingly difficult to play in concert with all the multitracking they did in studio production, but the concert version is even better.Side Two of this DVD is worth the purchase price alone. I mean, "Dark Side" played in concert, all the way through, without interruption? WOW. Pink Floyd was always famous for it's props and light shows, and this concert does not disappoint. Again, the Director of Photography, Editors, and Production Team do just an incredible job of capturing what is going on during this performance. The only draw back during Dark Side is no one can match Claire Torrey's vocals on Great Gig, but the back-up singers do an admirable job trying to fill her shoes. That may be the only song that can never be truly reproduced in concert (and to think that she came into the studio in 1972 during mixing of Dark Side pulling what amounts to a one hour "session" shift for $50, crying towards the end of her shift, upset at the "bad job" she had done).The Curtain Call songs on Pulse were perfectly chosen. The Band comes back on stage to play a set starting with Wish You Were Here, written at the time in the 70s as a song for Syd Barrett, the original leader of the band who was replaced in the 1960s due to severe mental illness. One is left to wonder if this was now included as a message to Roger (or, was the acrimony still too fresh from the bitter lawsuit, and perhaps me just wanting to believe they could want to re-unite at some level). Wish you were Here is then followed by two great songs from The Wall, Comfortably Numb and Run.This is 5-Stars, and it is not even close. I wish I could give it 10 stars. As I started, "I almost feel bad for Roger." I have seen Roger Waters no less than four times in concert, and while he is great, it is his shows, albums and performances that have greatly suffered from his departure. Sure, he is the genius who wrote almost all the post 1970 stuff for Pink Floyd, including Dark Side and The Wall, but, frankly, his talent is not needed at all to perform these masterpieces. I mean, I love Roger, but by the time he writes "The Final Cut" the band was being dragged down by his obsessive predisposition towards dark war-time music. "Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking" can only be enjoyed by someone like me, who is a true fanatic, but the album is pretty lame and sounds more or less like an extension to The Final Cut. While Roger was writing Pros and Cons in yet another attempt to illustrate his angst at a-hole war time leaders, David, Nick and Richard were getting on with their lives, and coming out with "Momentary Lapse"....pulling off what many thought impossible without Waters: A Quality Pink Floyd Album true to their heritage.By the way, you can tell that this concert is recorded in the 1990s, because during "Brain Damage," when the song starts "The Lunatic is on the Grass", the overhead movie shows George Bush, SR standing outside on the grass. If the concert were more modern, say, 2005, then one has to believe the entire movie would not have been of Sr, but rather........... well, you decide.

A Magical Night In London in March of 1994
What a great DVD set. Especially considering that it was recorded in 1994 when the audio/visual technology was still far from the high def/digital audio available today. The picture quality is crystal clear, and the audio has been enhanced to provide you with two Dolby 5.1 choices (448kbps & 640kbps). The sound is incredible, especially with the 640 option. A stereo option is also available if you don't have a Surround system.Enough of the technicalities...the performance was spectacular. David Gilmour, Nick Mason and Richard Wright were all perfect. 8 others joined the band, including Guy Pratt who filled in the gaping duet hole for Roger Waters in Run Like Hell.Disk one, or should I say Pulse One, features Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Learning to Fly, High Hopes, Take It Back, Coming Back to Life, Sorrow, Keep Talking, Another Brick in the Wall (part 2), and One of These Days.Pulse Two is The Dark Side of the Moon disk. You get: Speak to Me, Breathe in the Air, On the Run, Time, The Great Gig in the Sky, Money, Us and Them, Any Colour You Like, Brain Damage, Eclipse, Wish You Were Here, Comfortably Numb and Run Like Hell.There are tons of bonuses that include screen films, Bootlegging the Bootleggers and other shorts...2 hours of bonus material in total.Everything is here that a Pink Floyd fan could want...except Roger Waters. What a shame that whole thing is. How I wish...how I wish you were here.But rest assured that this is an absolutely amazing and fulfilling show. No expense was spared on the theatrics either. Very cool lights, video and stage. And everything from the performance to the stage show is captured expertly...especially the performance. The video never jumps around before you have a chance to take the shot in; you feel like you're sitting in the front row...not watching a DVD.I'm not the biggest Pink Floyd fan out there. I don't have all their albums; I have the studio versions of the recordings that any rock fan has. But let me just say that I was blown away by this DVD release.It goes without saying that true Pink Floyd fans don't need to be told to add this upgrade to DVD from video to their collection. It might need to be said that if you've ever listened to Pink Floyd or enjoy their music at all that this DVD needs to be added to any rock fan's cart. It is superb, and a valuable addition to any music collection.Buy it!

HOLY CANNOLI!
As a recent, uh, Pink Floyd/David Gilmour fanatic (like, umm 50 years late for this boat sailing), I saw the few videos on Youtube of these concerts, and I just HAD to buy this DVD.I was not disappointed. Nope.As for the seller: Excellent! Received it earlier than expected, even if it's final stretch getting to my house was via the USPS (no offense, but jeeze, there are only 2 houses on my block and half the time my neighbor gets my mail!). Quick and prompt.As for the actual DVD: Was a bit disappointed with the "booklet" that came with the DVD, and the fact that subtitles were not included. There was a warning about "infrequent, moderate course language." Well, if there WAS any, I didn't hear it, so...Spoiler Alert: The British crowd was ridiculously respectful. Kept to their seats and "oooh'd" and "awwed" at the appropriate times.The last song, though--"Run Like Hell?" Jeezy Petes! Nearly wet my pants (figuratively AND literally). Like the finale of a spectacular fireworks display on the 4th of July, without the mosquitoes.Well worth the price of the DVD (which was extremely reasonable, IMHO) just for this ONE song, and if you watch it on Youtube, you will find my honest "course language" in the comment section. Seriously. Holy flippen f-bomb.Yeah. So buy it.Wowza.
