Pink Floyd DVD - Which one?

Roger Waters: In the Flesh Live is the best concert out on dvd right now. Rumor has it that Pulse might be out as early as March, but nothing official last I checked. Pompeii is great too, though not a concert in the strictest sense. The making of the Dark Side album is also very interesting, but that's definitely not a concert.
Like emhello said, it depends on what you're looking for.

Yeah, I've been following it a while myself, so I don't have my hopes up This is the last thing I ever saw, from http://www.brain-damage.co.uk/ on 1/15/05. It is one of my most anticipated releases but it looks like it'll be after HD-DVD hits
We were contacted last night by Pink Floyd's management, to let us know the latest on the long-anticipated release on DVD of the live concert video, PULSE.
The release of this title is clearly uppermost in many minds, based on the number of emails we've received over the Christmas and New Year period, asking us what the latest is on it.
Once it was realised that it would be impossible to get the PULSE DVD released in time for Christmas, a revised rough date of February/March this year was set, for the 2-disc DVD to hit the stores.
It has seemed to have developed into a bit of a long-running saga, with the band and management very keen to get it done and dusted, but with various factors holding this up. The release is now looking more likely to be out in March, but as before, this depends on certain issues being resolved.
No guarantees on the date, but it is good news that they want to make sure it is right and as good as it can be before it is released, rather than put out a substandard product, or indeed quickly follow with a "special edition" with all the missing features reinstated!
As and when we have more information on this DVD, we will of course let you know... and our thanks to PFM for the update!

Thanks for the info Pinata

I like this part. I'll gladly wait to have a quality product.

Last I heard about Pulse, G&G (that's Gilmour and James Guthrie) were putting the finishing touches on a surround mix.
In the meantime, I'd say grab Live at Pompeii, and though it's not strictly a performance DVD, the Classic Albums: DSOTM to tide you over. The Dave Gilmour and Roger Waters live DVDs are pretty nice as well.
Has anybody heard anything about potential releases of The Wall live?

Thanks guys. I have most of Pink Floyds CDs and was curious of any good concert DVD out there with good video and 5.1 sound. Now I'm excited about this Pulse DVD if it ever make it in March. How is Dark side of the moon, The Wall? Thanks again.

I just check amazon.com and they have Pink Floyd PULSE [DVD] Live in Earls Court London (1995) available to ship in 1-2 days. Is this the Pulse we're talking about? If not, how is this Pulse DVD? Thanks

I still remember Pink Floyd Pulse Tour at Texas Stadium on Friday Night. You could see the lighting above Texas Stadium through the hole in the roof. It added to what was and still is the best concert I have ever witnessed. That concert site would make a great dvd release for Pulse.
If I had it my way, I would love to see Pink Floyd release one of the tour dates during The Wall tour between Feb 7, 1980 to August of that year. During these shows they would actually build the Wall. However I doubt that Roger will ever agree to let Pink Floyd release this footage but would make for a great dvd.
On a side note, Dark Side of the Moon spent 14 years on the Billboard's Top 200 Chart! Johnny Mathis "Greatest Hits" is second at 9 and a half years.

Another for Roger Waters: In the Flesh as well. A Pulse DVD would be terrific and I can heartily recommend the CD set to anyone.
I think all of the original music Floyd CDs offer something of merit however (and obviously) not every album is for everyone. For example consider the album The Final Cut. For those of us in corporate America I'd suggest going into your next conference room meeting with The Fletcher Memorial Home playing in your mind. It might not help improve your sanity (during the meeting) but it might help you keep your sense of humor.

Pompeii is an absolute MUST. One of the best things Floyd ever did, and the most complete audiovisual record of them as a 4-piece, muscular, pioneering band.
