T1B

From a concert recorded in England in 1994, the same year I saw them at Arrowhead, which remains the best concert I have ever seen. Apparently, there's been a VHS version of this out for a while, but I have't seen it.

I just saw parts of the DVD on VH1, but the stupid fucks chopped it up and showed the songs out of order (they apparently play the entire Dark Side of the Moon album, in order, on the second disc).

What I did see looked and sounded phenomenal though. I just ordered the DVD -- about $20 including shipping, not bad considering it's a 3-hour show, plus extras. Can't wait to settle in and watch this with the lights off and headphones on.

Saw them at the Rose Bowl in '94.


Haven't seen the dvd.

Saw them in C-Bus in 94.

Haven't seen the DVD, but I do have the double album live CD with the flashing light on it though.

Saw Floyd in Syracuse in 94. Great seats (9th row center) and a great light show. Astronomy Domine and Shine On were the highlights of the show for me. Floyd following Astronomy Domine with Learning to Fly was the definite low point. Shit like that just isn't right.

I bought the Pulse DVD plus the double live CD just so I could receive The Wall DVD for free from Circuit City last week. I've been wiating for the Pulse DVD for eleventeen years or something and could wait no longer.

I've only watched the Dark Side of the Moon show and DVD 2 (Shine on You Crazy Diamond kills live)...still haven't gotten to the extra chapters like "Bootlegging the Bootleggers" and whatsuch, although I did catch a couple of the videos.

I fucking love me some Floyd. Anytime. Anywhere. This DVD pwns my soul 4 life.

PLEASE REUNITE FOR THE X!!!

So dramatic!

fckof cnt

So what's Prime's rating for this DVD on a scale of 1-17 stars?

Prolly like 200 stars.


;)

PrimeX gives it three standing ovations out of four so far. If'n they'd have included some Pigs or Careful with that Axe Eugene...

The only big negative I have is the dork playing the stand up drums with the geigh headset on DVD 1. That shit is whack. Someone needs to punch him in his pasty face.

Ha!

Buncha rookies up in here.


I saw Floyd in 87.

So there!

I think I did anyway...I have a vague recollection...something about Seattle and the Kingdome or something.

No, I'm sure of it...I still have the shirt, and possibly some pics of a very buzzed crew riding on the pig statue outside Pike Place.

Yup, it really happened.

I saw Ausi Pink Floyd last year. That gives me 'Bode on the barbie or some shit.

I think...

You real Floyd seer's suck. I want your memories.

I was only 11 years old.

Like the dudes next to us who somehow managed to smuggle a whole bunch of pint booze bottles in (they shared the booze, we shared the massive quantities of cocaine we brought). These fools would finish (another) bottle, then launch the empty glass bottle from the upper-deck(we were lucky to even get those tix, buying them in another city back before the internet-age), down onto the packed floor below.


It was wrong, but I was so buzzed I couldn't stop laughing. Then, those guys both passed out drunk in their seats, and the sideshow was over.


Goodness, how the Kingdome sucked.

I wasn't old enough to (legally) buy booze yet.

You're still old. ;)

9 years younger than me?

A bit of advice -- don't blink. You'll miss those 9 years like they never happened.

I know. I'm gonna be 30 in three weeks. I'm gonna officially not be in my twenties anymore. :(

i saw waters in 99 from the third row in grand rapids. was the best seats i ever had until i saw belle and sebastian two weeks ago, and we were 10 feet from the stage.

So, I take it you were never first row at Metallica back in the day?

You'll never see a stage so intimately as first row at an OG Metallica show...your face is smashed into it, as a matter of fact.

Good times.

That is so unbelievably fucked up, you should have just kicked their ass and just taken their booze.

GODDAMN people can be SO STUPID!

I did something like that on impulse when I was around thirteen...I dearly wished I hadn't, about a tenth of a second after it left my hand...extremely stupid move.[/sigh].

I'd like to see a film of this tour...

i used to work for an Italian chef who saw Floyd at Pompeii.

4 of 4 here.

Dude on drums with pixie sticks? They showed him gratuitously, for like all of 15 seconds.

This is probably the most visually stunning DVD I have ever witnessed.

Oh, and the music ain't bad, either. The (extended) version of "Comfortably Numb" is worth the price of this DVD alone.

After seeing and hearing that song on the stereo, WTF can you say? It's one of those songs on DVD that just leaves one speechless.

PrimeX wrote:PrimeX gives it three standing ovations out of four so far. If'n they'd have included some Pigs or Careful with that Axe Eugene...

Or Mudmen, or Seamus, or Nile Song...

Not a freakin chance. They know that anybody who came to a show to hear Learning to Fly and Dogs of War without ever hearing any of the non radio friendly Floyd catalog wouldn't make it through a single playing of Careful With that Axe before blood started shooting out of their ears.

Agreed. Why was that guy even needed? Is Nick Mason incapable of playing his own drum parts...

I guess I just answered my own question.

Gotcha Beat Dins,

I caught Floyd for one of "The Wall" shows at the Los Angeles Sports Arena when I was in 8th grade, back in '79 or was it '80. Gilmour's solo on "Comfortably Numb" while he was at the top of the wall was off the hook. it was more than a concert, it was a Production.

Also saw them here in San Diego during that '94 tour.

A show with Waters? Yeah, I'd say you had me beat by about a mile.

Funny thing was I had no idea what I was getting into. I had just recently gotten into the Dark Side of the Moon album. So I was thumbing through the Sunday Calender section in the LA Times one day and saw the initial add for the shows. I took all the money I had and mail ordered for 3 tickets the next day thinking I would go with 2 of my friends. When the tickets came in I was showing them off to my older brother and he went apeshit that I had them. So he asked me how I was planning on getting to the show. Well I hadn't thought that far along yet. So he offered to give me a ride and not kick my ass everday for the next three months if I gave him a ticket. So I was down to 2 tickets. My older stepbrother caught wind of it and offered not to kick my ass everyday for the next 6 months if I gave him a ticket. My friends were SOL and it's a damn good thing I don't have any other older brothers. The first concert I ever went to and to this day no show I have seen since holds a candle to it.

Awesome. It's been so long, I'm not sure I remember the first real concert I saw. My folks weren't naive, and they pretty much forbade it until I was just about out of school(thanks for letting them know what goes on at concerts, Sis).

I think it was Heart...I think. Might have been Ozzy.

Back in the day(before your time) Heart ruled. But like many acts, as they became aged and jaded, the fire was somewhat lost. But in the case of the Wilson sisters, they had something they could substitute for passion -- boobies.

Anyone who says that Dreamboat Annie and Little Queen aren't fine, fine albums, needs their head and ears examined.
