Pink Floyd's Pulse DVD finally

Thanks. I agree. I got it today. It certainly is a must have dvd. The only thing that frustrates me is the "additional (and unnecessary) imagery." For example, during one of Gilmour's best solos (Comfortably Numb) the camera shots are of the arena and special effects - God, what a waste (for me)- I want the damn cameraman to zoom in on the guitar, not the props. Overall, it is a great improvement over the older video releases from this concert.

Interesting. The arena effects during that solo are one of my favorite parts of the video. IMO, the combination of the music and effects is mesmerizing. It needs to be seen on a big screen though . . . would not have the same impact otherwise.

To add the Pulse DVD has a section on "upping the bootleggers"! It has someone with a hand held camera shooting the concert. This DVD is one of my favourites.

The section is called "bootlegging the bootleggers". It contains footage shot by tapers in the audience. Pink Floyd's management contacted members of their fan base and obtained copies off camcorder masters and combined them along with confiscated videos by security and videos shot by members of the crew. Soundboard recordings were used for the audio.

Onemug,

I think your "is owning a dog a good idea" post is better. ;-)
