Freaktana A Major Disappointment

Stoutor It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

Calum Hutton It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

blackmamba99971 The Pulse Tour, the greatest concert of Gilmour's life with some of the most classic, and memorable songs in history. Songs like Run like hell, comfortably numb, The Wall, Sorrow, and a dozen others from all of his famous albums. Richard Wright who was the keyboardist, died a few years back which halted the troupe's concert tour. Yet with all of the incalculable audience members who attended the concerts throughout the years, Pink Floyd who consisted of David Gilmour, Guy Pratt, Nick Mason, Dick Parry, Tim Renwick, John Carin, and Gary Wallis gave the world a gift of the surreal, the fantastic, and the strange through their songs which will to this day survive another four decades.Like the album 'Dark Side Of The Moon' which for over twenty nine years has never left the charts of the top 100 billboard. No other group in history let alone the history of music has ever achieved such a feat. Since Syd Barret's death, David often told the audience that his music was the pinnacle to their success. With drafts of original songs, which later were recorded and labelled as some of the most ingenious material David had ever read, and sang.After the album had left the charts most of the residual singles stayed on for another 1750 weeks, which made Dark Side Of The Moon, the most successful album to date. Even in the present times, most of today's youth listen to these classics for reasons to them, that they don't sound like a classic song Eg. Run to the hills, By Iron Maiden, or Relax, By, Frankie Goes To Hollywood. With their unique types of sounds, people can distinguish those tunes as classical yesteryear, albeit for some updated renditions to fit today's crowds. Yet Pink Floyd somehow managed to keep their stories blended well enough so that they can live on further into the future.Today however, Roger Waters still hangs onto the idea that the wall is the ultimate concert. With continuous tours around Europe, his blends of singing, and keeping the band hidden away for most of the show somehow lost the audience's faith in the Genre. After some deliberations between Gilmour, and Waters who was the original song writer for the movie, The Wall... both had put away hatchets, and began to give performances again together later in the early part of the 21st century. Since then Gilmour has more or less retired from the stage to appear now and again for other up and climbing bands who play, and sing most if not all of their songs to newer audience members.Critics around the world has hailed Pink Floyd as The Ultimate Concert Band Of All Time. From the late sixties to now, this band can never falter on giving those dreamers the best way to imagine the unknown, the surreal, and the strange. Highly recommended to those over 13.

There will always be those who don't see this as Pink Floyd because Roger Waters wasn't involved but attacking the film for that alone just doesn't make too much sense to me. I will admit that I didn't care too much for the music during the first portion of the show, which is included on disc 1 of the DVD. The "show" itself in regards to the colors is downright amazing as it's so easy to just get caught up in the terrific light show that you really don't need to notice anything else. However, as a fan of music, I must admit that I didn't too much for some of the songs including "High Hopes," "Take It Back," and "Keep Talking." As you can tell, these are all songs from The Division Bell so if you're a fan of that album then perhaps you'll enjoy the first part more. The second set (on disc 2) kicks off with a complete playing of the Dark Side of the Moon album and it's beautifully pulled off with an effective stage show as well as strong performances vocally and musically. The entire album is pulled off to perfection and at times it's quite breathtaking to watch and listen to. The encore features fan favorites like the classic "Wish You Were Here," "Comfortably Numb" and "Run Like Hell." All three encore songs are done terrifically and the lights again are just amazingly done. PINK FLOYD: PULSE was a rather strange show for me as I really got bored during the first half but if you're feeling the same way it's certainly not worth turning it off. The light effects of the first half should at least give you something to look at and then the second half is a complete hit.

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.

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.
