![]() That said, this is a masterpiece!Ī good lecture must begin approaching some very interesting subject, or a joke, to catch the attention of the audience. This is a must own for even the most modest Pink Floyd fan, especially the die-hard David Gilmour version! The only thing that I could possibly say remotely negative about this video would be how easy he makes it look with his skillful playing and that, as always, it could have included so many more Pink Floyd Classics. Maybe more then some would like to admit. As a true Pink Floyd fan I would never try to doubt Roger Waters importance to Pink Floyd's unique blend of Music with his cynical, sometimes twisted lyrics and unique bass guitar lines, but I think this Video proves that both David Gilmour and Roger Waters were sharing a parallel vision of music through Pink Floyd's Music. But it doesn't stop there! As guest musicians slowly enter this sonic arena one by one, we hear old classics like "Shine on You Crazy Diamond" and the all time classic "Comfortably Numb" done to perfection live! As I was watching and hearing, my mind put to rest any left-over notions that old "die-hard" Roger Waters disciples used to throw out saying "Pink Floyd is a fake without Roger in the band". The shock that I had was instantly replaced with total Awe! This wonderful moment of guitar playing and song, captured in time for us to enjoy shows right from the beginning that David Gilmour could easily entertain us with just his guitar and a few electric gadgets. I miss-took this for a live performance of a solo project that included the Hit song "There's no way out of here"(which was a big hit for David Gilmour)that he recorded between Pink Floyd records. I'd love to hear Welcome to the Machine acoustic or even Dogs (Waters more likely to do the latter, I'm afraid).I picked up this concert video by mistaken identity. ![]() ![]() I think David should do an old school MTV Unplugged style album of the less acoustic Floyd and Gilmour hits. I love the acoustic version of Echoes on there, but it was Part 2 and I would have preferred Part 1, but even so it was great. Part 1 worked well by itself (I never cared for the Halloween sounding bit in the middle anyway). I transferred those two songs from the Pompeii set to play as an audio album they were so good. ![]() Roger did something slightly different with the bass line in that version with an extra note tacked on that gave the rhythmic section a really sweet kick the original lacked (live version here is pretty faithful to the Meddle album version by comparison). It was great to hear Echoes in its entirety for once, although I still prefer the Pink Floyd Live In Pompeii version (along with the best version ever of Careful With That Axe Eugene and the only version I care to listen to these days). ![]() Pink Floyd was always known for the sound quality of their records compared to the average band. I don't remember getting retinal stress with the Delicate Sound of Thunder laserdisc back in the day, but PULSE had its moments, I suppose. I actually turned on ambient lights on a few numbers to reduce the retinal stress. The picture is quite poor, very grainy in low light (newer digital cameras would have done much better, IMO) and I think they went overboard in some tracks with the colored light blasts that made my head feel like I might have developed epilepsy n my dark theater room. ![]()
