Generous extras include everything from original posters, reviews, bootleg album covers, and song lyrics to a 24-minute interview with Maben. But for all the director's talk of the glorious acoustics in Pompeii's amphitheater, there's little natural ambience to be heard. The Dolby Digital 2.0 sound is clear, dry, and two-dimensional, though notably better than any previous video release. --Michael Mikesell

Customer Reviews of Pink Floyd: Pulse
Peak Floyd - Pink Floyd at the apex.... Despite what a Pink Floyd purist would say about a Pink Floyd tour without Roger Waters, the Division Bell tour had to be perhaps one of the most amazing musical events to have graced our tiny planet. The world will probably not see another production like it. As the Floyd memebers age, and their desire to embark on long tours diminishes, its more likely that you will see Gilmour doing more small venue events like the 2002 Meltdown concert. Waters continues to march to his own drum and may tour in 2004 (perhaps your last chance to see and hear a Pink Floyd number with full stage production). However, if you have the inclination to see what happens when you plug some of the best music created into a most amazing modern light show, you owe it to yourself to experience Pulse.
Whether you are a fan of the post Waters Floyd or not, the imaculate fusion of light and sound in this production filmed at the end of the Division Bell tour is sure to impress. From the opening song, "Shine on You Crazy Diamond" to the encore of "Comfortably Numb", the show seems almost a dream of light and sound. Computer controlled lighting, lasers, smoke and props (yes the Pig does make a brief appearence) fill your screen as you soar through highlights of the Division Bell, a complete performance of Dark Side of the Moon, and highlights from other popular numbers in the catalogue.
Gilmour is at the top of his game and proves it throughout the show. The last solo of Comfortably Numb left me stunned. Wright, and Mason do their part of course but it is Gilmour who really shines. You truly get the sense that this finally IS Gilmour's band after so many years of keeping the peace. The band is augmented by very capable supporting players such as John Carin and back-up singers featuring Durga McBroom. Tim Renwick stands in on guitar as well.
About the only thing that detracts from this nearly flawless show is the dated stylings and antics of the percussionist and bass player. While clearly capable, their dress and behavior on stage smacked of Duran Duran, and looked imbicilic when compared to Gilmour's calm style. But hey, all you have to do is watch Waters remake of "The Wall" in Berlin to see that in spades. Jeez...what a nightmare.
Despite this small detraction, Pulse storms on, never ceasing to impress, awe, and amaze. However you come about it, DO NOT MISS this show
Essential for any Pink Floyd fan
I have seen the VHS version of this concert a couple of times in the past, and have always enjoyed it- I tell myself to be grateful that they have a live concert film from before Dark Side of the Moon. I have recently viewed the Director's Cut DVD and was delighted to find it had even more footage of the band "behind the scenes". Not only did it show them in the recording studio working on Dark Side of the Moon, but it also showed black and white film shots of just them talking- I think it's fascinating to see them doing something besides music, even if it's eating oysters. The sound of this film is perfect, and although the shots taken of the band while playing were kind of outdated (I'm thinking of the 32 shots of Nick Mason playing drums at the same screen), getting to see them play was awesome. I especially like seeing Roger Waters bang on their gong violently during Saucerful of Secrets. The only reason I declined to give this DVD 5 stars is the graphics that the director has added, supposedly to add to the ambiance and mood of the overall film. The shots from space and the shuttle taking off were actually on the distracting side, and I did not feel it played to the mood at all.
If you like Pink Floyd and the music they played before Dark Side of the Moon, you will definitely enjoy this- there are not too many opportunities for Floyd fans to see these guys actually play live- whether it be on a telivision screen or even on a CD. Enjoy!
Pink Floyd - Pulse
AMAZING!
This is by far the best audio/visual concert I have ever witnessed. I'd compare it, if there was anything even on remotely the same level to compare it to. A must see for Floyd fans, and even those with only a casual interest.
One warning: Every concert you ever see will be a disappointment after this.
