Scanialara You won't be disappointed!
Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!
Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.
Paynbob It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
GosuMom Oh, the awesome awesome Floydness of it all! This DVD is so worth the price it costs ... best enjoyed in surround sound of course. David Gilmour, Nick Mason & Richard Wright remind us why they continue to be Classic Rock Royalty, and Durga & company on "Great Gig In the Sky" sing with such emotion. Bands come and bands go, but the Floyd will never be matched. This 2-disc set rocks in ways one can't adequately explain with words .... I only wish I'd really been @ Earls Court in person. Also refreshing is all the young talent, especially Gary Wallis on percussion. His drumming is the most excellent reason for using the back button on the remote.Ten out of ten points? On that scale, I'd rate it 1000.
mattmacc87 I am a fairly new fan of Pink Floyd. I'm only 17, and I'm listening to songs written 30 years ago? And enjoying them?? This is why Dark Side of the Moon STILL sells more than 8,000 copies a week. Their music is unique, artistic, and really very "smart" compared to many modern bands. Rarely do we find an album that tells a story seamlessly.PULSE is the first live concert I have ever actually gotten chills down my spine during some parts, especially the glass ball during "Compfortably Numb" and the incredible jam session "One Of These Days." Their renditions of classics like "Astronomy Domine" "Another Brick in the Wall" and "Shine On You Crazy Dimond" all lived up to their respective history."The Great Gig In The Sky" Is surprisingly well done. The three backup singers deservingly get their time to shine.But the absolute best, and the one that really makes this DVD a must have to any musical collection, is "Compfortably Numb." David Gilmours' solo is unforgettable. The visual effects, including the previously mentioned 16 foot wide glass ball, perfectly moved with the mood of the song. When the ball opens, its as if the entire concert climaxes.The reaction from the record-breaking audience makes me jealous to have not been...there...to see it in person. But this is the absolute next best thing. It's seamlessly constructed and extremely entertaining. A MUST SEE.
buddraft What is all the hype about?!?! Out of all the Pink Floyd concerts I have on DVD (Pink Floyd – Live at Pompeii, Roger Waters – In the Flesh Live, Roger Waters – The Wall live in Berlin, Pink Floyd - Pulse) this one is at the bottom of the list… and doesn't come close to comparing to these others. I searched far and wide to get my hands on this rare, limited release DVD. After watching it I can't believe the undeserved hype it has received on this and other review websites. Here's the main problem (among others): Hey, I'm trying to watch my favorite band perform live… could you please get that obnoxious giant circular video screen out of my line of vision!!! That's right folks – throughout this concert footage there are two main camera perspectives: One is a wide shot that is so distant in order to frame the gigantic circular video screen that you can't really see the band, and the other is more close up. But wait there's a catch. In the close up footage the producers have decided to superimpose that giant circular video screen again. It's baaaack. When viewing my monitor during these scenes I estimate that David Gilmour gets to occupy about 1/10th of the overall image. In fact, most of the time he is literally partially cut out and hidden behind this thing. It's really bizarre. In a nutshell, it's as if the producers are demanding that we watch their 'cool' film clips instead of the band. These clips run the gamut from the usual psychedelics to actual newsreel footage (some of which include images of George Bush, Bill Clinton, Vladamire Putin, Tony Blair etc. - Gee, thats something I look forward to in my Pink Floyd concert experience). YAWN! In all fairness the camera does occasionally go up on stage and roam amongst the band. But even here the cinematographers were trying to be really fancy and used blurring effects, overexposure and monochrome lighting and it just didn't work well. When the credits rolled I couldn't remember 'seeing' this band. The performances are lackluster and I'm sorry to say that that includes Gilmour. The exception being whenever Gilmour does go to town on his famous leads – all of which he does amazingly. But when the accompanying lead guitarist takes the spotlight he takes to many liberties (see Another Brick in the Wall when he decides to do some Eddie Van Halen-esq fret tapping... c'mon). Unlike other Floyd concerts I own, here the backup female vocalists don't get a lot of attention. Perhaps that's not so bad because also unlike other Floyd concerts I own, here they are unremarkable.I must agree with others who have reviewed this concert and say it is an awesome production. The light show, the pyrotechnics... amazing. But that's not why I bought this DVD. As concert performance and as an overall concert experience captured on film, this is a huge disappointment. Granted, the encore does indeed build to a stunning climax, but if you're a huge Floyd'o'phile like I am, be prepared to endure some frustration to get there.
Frankie Puke Absolutely marvelous Pink Floyd concert. This is proof that their careers CAN still survive without Roger Waters. I'd have to give this show 12.5 out of 10!!!David Gilmour puts on an excellent show for the Division Bell tour (the album itself is actually not as bad as a lot of people might say it is.) Gilmour's singing and guitar work are through the roof! Nick Mason's drumming was awesome. Rick Wright still plays a good synth after all these years (I liked hearing him sing "Time.")The extra musicians are also good. Guy Pratt (who is now Wright's son-in-law) is awesome on the bass and when he sings "Run Like Hell." Tim Renwick's guitar solos on "Learning to Fly" and "Another Brick in the Wall" were cool. Jon Carin is a good second keyboardist alongside Wright. Gary Wallis's percussion was okay, but he seems to be making Mason completely obsolete.They played the entire "Dark Side of the Moon" album. Amazing! The "On the Run" video was extremely weird, but the end of the song is cool with the airplane (that's as much as I'm going to tell you about that, you'll have to see it yourself.) Gilmour does just as good as Roger did on "Brain Damage/Eclipse."Also watch for the three-piece encore performance. "Wish You Were Here" (better than the original) "Comfortably Numb" (best version EVER, I wish I was there) and "Run Like Hell" (ultimate Floyd party song!!)Absolutely fabulous concert! Now if only Pink Floyd would do some new material. It's about time!!!!
