Pink Floyd: Delicate Sound of Thunder

`The Delicate Sound of Thunder' is stunning. David Gilmour, Nick Mason and Richard Wright, supported by outstanding musicians and backing vocals, and a great selection of songs, give a marvelous 90 min. concert. Although without Roger Waters - the creative soul of the group, this show is stunning. It is difficult to highlight a song, but `The Great Gig in the Sky' in the voices of Margret Taylot, Durga McBroom and Rachel Fury and the saxophone of Scott Page in `Us and Them' are unforgettable. The light and choreography, together with the performance of the stars works perfectly in this video. `Comfortably Numb' is fantastic. My vote is ten.

It is a great documentation of the Nassau 1988 Concerts but the filming is terrible, mostly dark and, virtually, everything moves too fast, thus, one does not get a clear picture of what is happening on stage at all times.

You should get this one if you are a collector or a Pink Floyd fan.

And one other low point, it is just one hour and 30 minutes of the concert, however, the original concert was about two hours and 20-30 minutes.

If you are looking for a Pink Floyd concert, PULSE or Live At Pompeii are far better.

The movie was not too bad. The concert was real good the effects, lasers and pyros. The only problem is that it does not look nearly as good on the video as I remember them from the concert. The concert CD has much better sound than the video in VHS format.

Definitely the best live Floyd out there...

I saw this Tour in L.A. Ca., and it was the first and only time i got to see them live :-(.

I thought it was a great concert then, but now that i've seen it on video... it's even better.

I also have a few other videos of them live (dvds :-)_, including "Pulse". And a few David Gilmore dvds, but this tops'em all.

It's definitely a must have.

ps - can't wait for it to come out on DVD though. pss - I think that it was released on laserdisk at one time.

see ya, Ted.

The music aside - this is by far the best concert-video ever made, in my humble opinion. This is truly the work of a perfectionist. You see all the important parts, but not even once is there a cameraman or even a cable in sight to disturb the experience. And the light- and stageshow is as always with Pink Floyd magnificent. So too is the music. The concert was a promotion-tour for the "Momentary Lapse Of Reason" album, and about a third of the video is dedicated to numbers from that album. The rest is the good old stuff! Almost all of my favorites are there, and they are performed to perfection. Compared to the PULSE video, I think this is slightly better, due to the perfect editing.
