Like many people I couldn't wait for the DVD release of this concert having watched the BBC simulcast in the 90s and bought the outstanding 4LP audio version which is reference standard if ever I heard it. I waited in vain for the blu-ray version, but after seeing Dark Side of the Moon, (taken from Pulse), on Sky Arts recently decided I couldn't wait any longer and ordered the DVD.
I have to be honest and say that despite what others have to say I am disappointed with the picture quality. I have a Panasonic plasma & blu-ray set up and usually you feel you can climb into the picture, even on standard DVDs, but on this disc it's really average- especially on close-ups. I also don't care to have to change discs and set up the audio again half way through the concert- yes, it was a long concert, but not THAT long! The main complaint however is the 4:3 format. I've already seen DSOTM in widescreen HD and it was superb, so why not here?
That said I have still watched it many times already because quite simply it was a superb concert with excellent musicians at their very best. The encores always leave me breathless and wanting to press the play button again straight away! The sound is absolutely first rate and I would certainly recommend this DVD to anyone who wants to experience Pink Floyd live. I just feel that some fans are watching it through rose tinted glasses as there are better quality concert DVDs out there, especially at the price, which is a shame as Floyd have always set the standard for quality and attention to detail. That's enough reviewing- I'm off to watch it again! Blu-ray soon please!!

If you are a Pink Floyd fan, you need this in your collection, Excellent production and with home theatre 5.1 surround sound it's almost like being there..
A must have for Floyd fans!

Superb, perfectly captures the atmosphere of a Floyd live show. Video quality is very good, the only caveat being it is 4:3 format rather than 16:9 widescreen.

Thanks to my late brother Ian Mackenzie for making me listening to PINK FLOYD/PULSE(DVD. It's utterly amazing. The sound and the picture quality. And if you have a Surround Sound DVD system and large Screen then your in for a real treat.The price for the DVD has stayed the same for a long time,(if you buy from the high street.But i looked on AMAZON and i was very surprised to see it at half the price. So i snaped up one straight away and, WOW. You'll enjoy. Malc.

Marvellous. Fantastic. Just like the concert in the mid-90'ees. And the sound over the stereo and you`re in heaven! :-)
