Thats what he looked like he was recovering from Les !!!

And I'de say give him another round ... lest he start naming children again !!!!

No flashing LED on mine.
I'll have to look for that one.

Copyright 1995. Were DVDs even invented then? 2 live CDs from the original analogue recordings.

I have the PULSE CD with flashing light, it was the first album to come out with that fancy paper cover, if i remember right it was $60 at the time!

It's such a shame that Rick Wright passed away.....

I watched this, amazing. Though I am not really "into" Pink Floyd, it was a great insight of what happened early on.
Take note kids, don't do drugs. Syd will tell you why (er, ok he wont now)

Have a great appreciation of the band now. Even though I did sort of get into them only around the time of the "another brick in the wall", as it was the video that captured me. Was only a boy when the song/video come out, but old enough to like it.

I didn't end up seeing the last 20 minutes as I fell asleep. Dam.
But I did enjoy what I saw.

In your own mind, as you read this final comment, please insert the appropriate invective and poorly chosen words you know belong as an inherent part of it ...

With great respect, (Sir) Bob Geldorf who in the hell do you think you are to to pass comment on the music of Pink Floyd?

And while you are at it, before you refer to them as "four old geezers" -- take a look in the mirror pal.

Will be listening to Meddle as I drift off to sleep tonight.


Best,

I'm not a big fan of Bob Geldof but to give him his due there is no way that Pink Floyd would have ever played together again (at Live 8) without his insistence and persistence. World poverty benefitted and millions of Pink Floyd tragics had a lump in their throat and a tear in their eye with those four songs. For that alone I say well done Sir Bob. They didn't even get together for Syd Barrett's tribute concert although they were strongly rumoured to be rehearsing for it leading up to the event. Apparently Roger couldn't make it.

There really wasn't anything to the doco that we hadn't heard before.

You will find that "On an Island" is featured on Gilmour's last two DVD live concerts.
