Pink Floyd - Pulse (DVD, 2006, 2-Disc Set)

When I was a Masters student in 1994, I traveled to the U. of Iowa to present at a conference. While walking outside that night over the campus bridge, all of a sudden, a burst of fabulous lights & Pink Floyd came flowing vibrantly clear sounds across the campus. We could see & hear their whole concert from our vantage point. Who cared about having a seat for it? We were on our feet the whole time, standing mesmerized.

I was a die-hard fan by 1974, after the 1973 release of the "Dark Side of the Moon," vinyl album. "The Wall," in both 2 disc CD & DVD forms became tied for Best Album with the former "Dark Side," as far as I was concerned. Who's to say which one is greater, when both are beyond the edge in every aspect, blowing every other band off the charts.

Now both albums are blended together (& more) in P.U.L.S.E., the Dolby Digital 5.1 stereo live recording at Earls Court in London, England, on October, 20th, 1994.

The double DVD set is enclosed in a colorful laminated sturdy jacket. Inside there's a pocket with a mini 'program' of all that's on both DVDs. The centerfold if full of photographs of the band playing live, including still shots of their fabulous light show. I saw those green laser-like lights that night on the Iowa campus. They lit up the starry sky (on a drenched campus that had nearly been flooded out) for what seemed like miles. I can hardly believe I get to relive that lucky moment every time I play these DVDs. No one told us, the conference attendees, that Pink Floyd was on campus! Had I known, I'd have found a way in.

In retrospect, I realize now, we had the best view outside of the stadium looking downward onto the stage from a distance because it made Pink Floyd's amazing light show all the more spectacular & grand.

If you don't know the songs on both "Dark Side of the Moon," & "The Wall," look them up in my reviews of those CDs/DVD.

Whoever first said, "you can't relive the past," was way wrong ::winking::
Watching this P.U.L.S.E. DVD set I'll testify, I surely can~
