...or was that a joke about the ENYGMA conspiracy?
To be honest I quite like some of the performances on this release. I favor the Confortably Numb solo over the original studio version, same goes for the Run Like Hell extended intro and ending. But the thing that pisses me off is that the video versions are better and longer than the audio versions, so when I would listen to the PULSE album I would always get the lame version of the song and not the one I really wanted to listen to. Same goes with One Of These Days, which was my favourite moment from the broadcast and didn't even appear on the album version, so it made buy Works (Meddle wasn't available at my record store) so I could listen to that track, but the studio version didn't have the extended solos of the Pulse video, so big disappointment again, damn those extended Gilmour guitar solos! -- yes, PULSE was one of my first PF experiences, the other being watching a VHS copy of The Wall movie and Berlin show a couple months before, good memories. At first I liked some of the Division Bell songs included on the audio release, like Day For Freedom and Back To Life, but I quickly got booooored with them. Still enjoy High Hopes and the earth song though, and SOYCD, but never been a fan of this live version of DSOTM either, or, worst of all, ABITW2. I would only listen to the second disc for the encore.
Interesting packaging also. I wonder what was the thing with the floating naked man and all those symbols?
So although I don't think very highly of this release now, I gotta admit it was succesful with getting me into Pink Floyd
Plus that solo he plays on Comfortably Numb? Back in the 1980s when I was still failing at community college my buddies and I used to sit in my car and get totally blazed listening to The Wall so therefore I know far more about this stuff than anybody else. Plus I once played in a band that played a few local bars and once played to 500 people back when spandex was fashionable though I had to fight the bassist because he used Korean equipment and they are all damn commies over there just like our current muslim president "Barack" Husein Obama. Still I was once totally poised for stardom a long time ago and therefore when I here Pulse its like I'm there, because back when I was on college in the mid '80s learning how to write sentences I used to get totally blazed and listen to Animals because my best friend had the 8-track for that which was amazing when we were all blazed out there sitting in my '74 Pontiac. Seriously though one time my band played this biker gig and we started out playing Welcome to the Machine and some of those big dudes down the front were really digging it but later our drummer downed like half a bottle of Jaeger and nearly got his ass handed to him by these big Harley dudes with pool cues and somebody called the cops. I still think about this when I listen to Pulse. I still see the bassist though he has kids though but the drummer ended up doing a 10 year stint for aggrevated assault back when spandex was still in fashion and there were commies making guitars in china or some other place I cannot locate on a map.
