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

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.

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!

"Pulse" is another wonderful concert of Pink Floyd, an improvement of the also excellent 'Delicate Sound of Thunder'. Pink Floyd lost its most creative component, Roger Waters, and now is limited to repeat the same successful songs in his concerts. However, the musicians and backing vocals are also outstanding, and the stage and lighting are something unique. The most impressive is that the present generations also love this fantastic group and their songs may be considered classics. I love all their songs, but 'The Great Gig in the Sky', 'Wish You Were Here', 'Brain Damage / Eclipse' 'Time' and "Comfortably Numb" are among my favorites. I believe I will never get tired of this concert. My vote is ten.

Title (Brazil): 'Pulse'

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.

One of the best concert films I have ever seen, and Floyd more than redeems themselves for the absolutely crappy "Delicate Sound of Thunder" concert video. Here, it's like you are there with the audience. The camera work does of a good job of making you feel that way and the sound really is crisp and has great clarity. Dave Gilmour looks better than he has in years, he looked like he was in fighting trim and he sings better and with more power as a result of it. Dick Parry, the bands original sax player was sorely missed and brings some breathtaking sax solos on "SOYCD", "Money", and "Us and Them". The encore to end all encores, "Comfortably Numb" literally does bring the house down with some really amazing effects, and just when you think its over they come back with a really good version of "Run Like Hell". But what makes this video a collectors item is just a chance to see them play the entire "Dark Side of the Moon" set live in concert. I did miss Rachel Fury, the really hot backup singer who toured with them back in '87. Some people have said Floyd uses the laser and light show to hide their age, but after watching this, I hope I look half as good as they do in my 50's. Also noteworthy is the heartbreaking movie/tribute to Syd Barrett, who founded the band along with Roger Waters in the 60's. The movie is played with their standard opening song "Shine on You Crazy Diamond" and it's a really brilliant short film directed by Strom Thurgenson. Barrett suffered brain damage as a result of his massive drug habit and its gut wretching to see his story played up there on that video screen.
