At long last iPink Floyd: Pulse/i has arrived on DVD, and Floyd fans already know it's a major cause to celebrate. The original VHS release was a milestone bestseller, but it seemed to take forever for the DVD to arrive, with numerous delays while Floyd guitarist David Gilmour and long-time Floyd producer James Guthrie labored to restore, re-edit, and remix this legendary concert video in 5.1-channel Dolby Surround Sound. The resulting two-disc set was well worth the wait: While the limitations of the original video source are still evident in the sometimes-hazy image quality (Gilmour would later admit the concert should have been captured on film), Floyd fans will unanimously agree that iPulse/i has never looked or sounded better, and only the absence of group co-founder Roger Waters prevents this from being the ultimate document of Pink Floyd in performance. (Even without Waters, it's easily one of the group's most impressive stage productions.) Gracefully directed with minimal intrusion by veteran music video and concert director David Mallet, and shot on video during Pink Floyd's two-week stint at London's Earls Court Exhibition Centre in October 1994, this 145-minute performance (from Floyd's IDivision Bell/I tour) is a sonic marvel to behold. Under a massive arch festooned with then-state-of-the-art laser, lighting, and projection systems, the 1987 incarnation of Pink Floyd (Gilmour, keyboardist Richard Wright, and drummer Nick Mason) and their stellar supporting band kicks off with "Shine on You Crazy Diamond" (a loving tribute to Floyd co-founder Syd Barrett), followed by four tracks from iThe Division Bell/i, two from 1987's iA Momentary Lapse of Reason/i, "Another Brick in the Wall (Part 2)" from 1979's magnum opus iThe Wall/i, and leading into intermission with an absolutely stunning performance of "One of These Days," the timeless opening track from 1971's iMeddle/i.p The centerpiece of Disc 2 is a near-perfect performance of 1974's iDark Side of the Moon/i in its entirety--reason enough to make this a must-have DVD for even the most casual Floyd admirers. And while no one will ever re-create the sheer magnificence of Clare Torry's original itour de force/i vocals on "The Great Gig in the Sky," it's safe to say that backup singers Sam Brown, Claudia Fontaine, and Durga McBroom deliver the next best thing, in addition to seamless contributions throughout the concert. After the closing heartbeat of "Eclipse," the concert ends with encore performances of "Wish You Were Here," "Comfortably Numb," and a no-holds-barred, pyrotechnically explosive rendition of iThe Wall/i's "Run Like Hell," all showcasing Gilmour's guitar mastery with frequent close-ups of his picking and fret-work as seen throughout the concert. (Like Gilmour, Mason and Wright were never dynamic onstage, and that's true here as well, but their technical precision is fully evident, and while guitarist Tim Renwick and saxophonist Dick Parry are each given moments to shine, bassist Guy Pratt is a worthy substitution for Waters, especially when vocally sparring with Gilmour on "Run Like Hell.")p With beautiful packaging, an 8-page booklet, and menu designs by long-time Floyd associate Storm Thorgerson, the DVDs offer an abundance of bonus features including "Bootlegging the Bootleggers," featuring surprisingly good-quality "boot" video performances of "What Do You Want From Me?," "On the Turning Away," "Poles Apart," and "Marooned." The surreal round-ratio screen films seen throughout the concert can all be viewed independently (still in round format, and several offered in both original and alternate versions). Music videos for "Learning to Fly" and "Take It Back" are included on Disc 1, along with "Tour Stuff" including maps, itineraries, and stage plans for the 1994 tour. "Say Goodbye to Life as We Know It" is a playful backstage video (mostly involving the production staff's ongoing quest for a good pint of beer), and after delivering a heartfelt introduction to Pink Floyd's 1996 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (with Roger Waters and Syd Barrett acknowledged by Gilmour), Smashing Pumpkins leader Billy Corgan joins Gilmour and Wright for a moving acoustic performance of "Wish You Were Here" (directed at Waters, perhaps?). Additional features include album cover art, a photo gallery, and the concert-only audio choice between a 448kbps audio bitstream or a higher-quality 640kbps stream for higher-quality DVD players. The system set-up feature ensures that audiophiles will achieve optimum speaker performance in keeping with Pink Floyd's exacting technical standards. In tandem with the superior concert presentation, these features make iPulse/i one of the best--if not ithe/i best--music DVDs of 2006, guaranteed to satisfy Floyd fans for many years to come. i--Jeff Shannon/ip p /pp span class="h1"strongMore from Pink Floyd and David Gilmour/strong/span table border="0 " cellpadding="4" width="100%" cellspacing="4"p p tr class="tiny" align="center" valign="top"p td p img src="http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B000002B35.01.SWATCHZZ.jpg" border=" 0"brIPulse/I (CD)/td p p tdp img src="http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B00004SVIK.01.SWATCHZZ.jpg" border=" 0"brIIs There Anybody Out There?/The Wall Live Pink Floyd 1980-81/I/tdp p tdp img src="http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B0006ZE7G2.01.SWATCHZZ.jpg" border=" 0"brIPink Floyd--The Wall 25th Anniversary/I (DVD)/tdp /trp p tr class="tiny" align="center" valign="top"p tdp img src="http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B000002A3T.01.SWATCHZZ.jpg" border=" 0"brIThe Division Bell/I, Pink Floyd/tdp p tdp img src="http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B0000026NC.01.SWATCHZZ.jpg" border=" 0"brIDelicate Sound of Thunder/I, Pink Floyd/tdp p tdp img src="http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B000002C1W.01.SWATCHZZ.jpg" border=" 0"brIA Momentary Lapse of Reason/I, Pink Floyd/td p /trp p tr class="tiny" align="center" valign="top"p tdp img src="http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B000BHHVPO.01.SWATCHZZ.jpg" border=" 0"brILive 8/I on DVD--Featuring Pink Floyd/tdp p tdp img src="http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B0000DBJDM.01.SWATCHZZ.jpg" border=" 0"brIPink Floyd--Live at Pompeii (Director's Cut)/I (DVD), Pink Floyd/tdp p tdp img src="http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B000E6UK5K.01.SWATCHZZ.jpg" border=" 0"brIOn an Island/I, David Gilmour/td p /trp /tablep /p

 Unbaleeevable! January 4, 2009
I own about 25 concert dvd's- blues, historical, guitar players, rock and metal and this is by far the best dvd I have ever watched. The light show alone is worth the cost 2 times over. The song list is great and the quality of sound and video is exceptional. The only one close to this would be Rush in Rio. I practically had an out of body experience watching this, levitated, and was taken to infinity. Amazing!
Pink Floyd always in a higher lever!!! January 2, 2009
Pulse is the best live music video ever made!!br /The sound is outstanding!br /The image is awesome!br /Pink Floyd Played in magnificent way.br /I just change this: i'd rather add a few more songs.br /Fantastic DVD!!!br /
Three Generations of Fans January 2, 2009
I recieved the VHS as a gift when I was pregnant with my son. I remember being about 7 months along and cranking this through my surround sound system. After he was born, my mother, another big fan, watched him during the day and played the tape as background music while he was playing. br /br /My son is now 12 years old, and a HUGE Pink Floyd fan as well as a music lover in general. He plays in his school band and in 7th grade is already playing with the advanced 8th graders. He is now trying to learn the sax solo from Money. br /br /Being in the middle of 3 generations of fanatics, I can say this is well worth every penny. I normally shun concert videos, but this one draws you in. Every song is spectacular. The light and video show is stunning. With the passing of Richard Wright this year, the movie is also poignant. br /br /An absolute must have! Dear God, please let them release this on Blu-Ray!
