Press Release:
PINK FLOYD RELEASE PULSE, THE DVD OF THEIR 1994 CONCERT, FEATURING FIRST EVER AUDIOVISUAL LIVE PERFORMANCE OF THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON.
On 10 July 2006, Pink Floyd will release their much-anticipated DVD, PULSE, from SonyBMG Music Entertainment (excluding Europe). This is a landmark release because it features the first ever audiovisual recording of Pink Floyd playing their seminal album, The Dark Side of the Moon, live in concert. The Pulse DVD captures the Division Bell tour of 1994 and was filmed at London's Earls Court during a record-breaking 14-night residency. The two-disc release contains the full concert performance with rare backstage footage and previously unseen extras.
There are many elements that make this Pulse release a must-have, but top of the list is the live filmed performance of Pink Floyd’s towering album, The Dark Side of the Moon. The album in its glorious entirety is performed by David Gilmour, Nick Mason and Rick Wright during the second half of the concert and appears on disc 2. Shine on You Crazy Diamond, Another Brick in the Wall (Part 2), High Hopes and Learning to Fly are some of the classic tracks on disc 1 with never before seen rarities such as Bootlegging the Bootleggers and behind the scenes footage showing a snapshot of life on the road with one of the world’s biggest rock bands.
The stunning Pulse DVD graphics are designed by longtime Pink Floyd collaborator, Storm Thorgerson who has made the DVD look as good as it sounds. It is mixed in mind expanding 5.1 surround sound and digitally remastered by James Guthrie. The DVD includes some of The Dark Side of the Moon original screen films used in the 1970’s concerts which were never filmed, as well others remade for the 1994 tour.
The Pulse DVD vividly captures the essence of Pink Floyd, both as a live band and as a visual tour de force, qualities that were both well to the fore at their show-stopping appearance at this year’s Live 8.
