rwfrench66 OK, so having been at this concert my opinion is slightly biased, but it was like being at Devil's Tower for the final scene of Close Encounters of The Third Kind FOR REAL! This was 1988 and no band or any multimedia presentation since has come close! The Olympics and Superbowl have had some good multimedia displays, and that video of the building in Germany I think when they used a projector to make some 3D images, the Tupac hologram, and some of the videos of Christmas lights are cool, but this was 2 hours of that stuff combined with the clearest 3D surround sound music you've ever heard at a live event! Tickets were $25 when most tickets were $15, but it was well worth it! The concert is on YouTube and if you haven't seen it check out "One of These Days" or "Run Like Hell" if you want to see why a light show is called a light show! I have no idea how promoters are getting people to pay $450 for floor seats now! $25 back then was 2 tanks of gas and now 2 tanks of gas is $100 and if a band isn't giving a multimedia presentation equal to this for $100 you're being financially raped! I bought like 8 copies of this on VHS back in the day. I had to replace them because the VCR ate them, or because friends borrowed/stole them, or because I played them so much they wore out. The CD doesn't have "One Slip" but the DVD doesn't have "Money"! Can you imagine releasing a Pink Floyd video and cutting out "Money"?
ccthemovieman-1 The concert included some of the most innovative "light shows" I've ever seen in a musical venue. I saw it on tape so I'm sure it looks even better on DVD. I think the visuals were better than the music, to be frank. I didn't find the songs to be anything special. They weren't bad, but nothing I would want to hear over and over. Perhaps being stoned would be the ticket but those days are long over. Speaking of the "old days," I found some of the lyrics in here so '60s-ish with the irreverence of the period that it turned me off. Those ultra-Liberal days are over, too. It didn't inspire me to hear these songs again. "Hey, teacher....leave them kids alone!" should be changed to "Hey, guys, give those lyrics a rest! (or, "Hey, guys - learn some grammar!")
El Guapo-2 The director constantly uses a swooping camera, slow motion, and dissolves over and over and over... the result is the concert film gets very boring quickly. The documentary style that they used to film the concert, i.e. grainy, smoky footage doesn't match the visual style of slow motion and dissolves, especially when it's just repeated for every song. The backup singers were pretty hot! Pink Floyd here is really Pink Floyd version 3. Roger Waters sued Nick Mason, David Gilmour (guitar god) and Rick Wright over the use of the name "Pink Floyd" but the three remaining band members won the legal use of the name "Pink Floyd" but have to credit Waters where credit is due and pay him royalties, I think. Anyway, either the sound editing is horrible or their singing wasn't up to snuff on that day because it sounds really muffled, and along with the way the film was edited, I would not recommend this film unless you are a die hard Floydhead.
jettech7 The movie was not too bad. The concert was real good the effects, lasers and pyros. The only problem is that it does not look nearly as good on the video as I remember them from the concert. The concert CD has much better sound than the video in VHS format.
