Pink Floyd: P. U. L. S. E. Live at Earls Court

This is the best live music video I have seen. Yes, I have seen all those "unplugged" videos, and so on. This is one that I often (once a week?) put on as background "music" while I am reading. About 10 minutes later I am looking at the video more than reading. Another 5 minutes and I watch the rest of the video, discarding the reading material. I cannot wait for the DVD version to come out so that I get a better picture and stop wearing out my VHS tapes!

The lightning system. The songs. The sound. A band that decides to hide beneath the complex riggings and supports (what a welcome relief!). Perfection, indeed. This is the best concert video footage I've ever seen in my life. The moment I saw it I could not stop watching it (it was too late at night, and I wanted to get some sleep) for all the right reasons.

Suffice to say, I don't think I'll ever see a concert as incredible as that one. The moment when they play the encores (Wish you were here / Comfortably Numb / Run like Hell) qualifies as the stuff dreams are made of. Laser lights, explosions, a huge rose hanging from the ceiling with a disco ball inside, huge reflectors onstage, a dancing circular screen, a dancing light stage, lights at the bottom flashing messages and to the music... I couldn't have imagined a more complex light show. Or better tunes. Or better playing.

Wow. 10/10.

Clearly the best concert video I have ever seen. The effects (at the concert) were stunning. Floyd played their absolute best. The choice of songs was excellent and covered their entire musical history up to the date of filming. This video would only be better if it was put on DVD so that the sound and video were even sharper. This is one that you can watch over and over and never get tired of it.

Anyone familiar with Pink Floyd concerts would agree; this band has the best traveling shows ever. I saw P.U.L.S.E. live in New Orleans, at the Superdome and have never seen a better concert.

The show is visually fantastic; choreographed laser light show, huge circular video screen, and the Pigs. With all this going on the band seems hidden, you barely see them on-stage. Which makes the video perfect. P.U.L.S.E. captures both elements of the show, you don't miss any of the performance while getting to see the band perform.

It's not as good as being at the concert. However, you will never miss another Pink Floyd tour, after you see it.

If you like it try: "Live at Pompeii", "La Carrera Panamericana", "Pink Floyd London '66-'67"

It's been nine years since this one first hit the airwaves and it STILL holds the crown for most spectacular stage show. The spitfire, the lasers, the dancing pigs...oh yeah and the worlds largest ever disco mirrorball which while looking spectacular enough by itself does something UNBELIEVABLE at the end of Comfortably Numb.

Great performances from the band and the session musicians. Guy Pratt is without doubt one of the greatest Bass players who lived and Tim Renwick can fingertap better than anyone.

My ONE complaint is the dissapointing ammount of Division Bell material played. I understand they couldn't play as much of it as they were doing Dark Side live but still......

Two American shows were also filmed on the tour one of which was a NON Dark Side performance so we can but hope said concerts will appear on the DVD when it FINALLY comes out next year. Otherwise this is perfection.
