Another update from our friends at MusicTAP.net...

We're getting conflicitng reports of the release date for the DVD, Pulse. We recently heard that it was going to be June 27 (from Sony), however, the Pink Floyd site is adamant in maintaining that Pulse will NOT release on June 27 despite what TAP, Amazon, or anybody else is saying. The site maintains that it will be issued on September 18/19 worldwide. for confirmation, click this link to visit Pink Floyd's site. Go to news and scroll downward.

As far as i know, a lot of work has been put into getting the extra's up to scratch. Apparantly some of the old film hasn't lasted the test of time so well!!

The bootlegging the bootleggers section is going to be fantastic. At long last Floyd join the ranks of other bands and acknowledge the hobby that we all love!!!

i have a thought

maybe the first 2 million will have the flashing light like the first 2 million cds did, and that is why it has taken so long...david had to tour to make enough money to buy all the little flashing lights

that would be cool though! i love mine...its been a mainstay in my living room for the past 12 years...blink blink blink blink blink

You know after all this waiting the first 2 million copies should instead have it so when you open the package a Mini David Gilmour runs out and does a song and dance number for you while inserting the DVD into the player for you.

Come on... I can have a little imagination now can't I?

all the shows that had the complete Dark Side performance had NO Astronomy Domine.

lol yes ur right, i had been up for about 28hrs when i wrote that so i thought i did pretty well memory wise lol

DVDs Reveal 'Pulse' Of Pink Floyd, Gilmour

May 16, 2006, 3:15 PM ET

Originally due last December, the Pink Floyd live DVD "Pulse" will now hit stores June 27 via Columbia. The project was originally released on home video in 1995 in conjunction with a double-disc CD set of the same name. The film chronicles the band's 1994 tour in support of the album "The Division Bell," which turned out to be its last.
The material here was taped during a 14-night run at London's Earl's Court and is highlighted by the first complete performance of the 1973 album "Dark Side of the Moon," which can be found on the second disc. The first disc features a blend of older hits ("Another Brick in the Wall Pt. 2," "Learning To Fly") and material from "The Division Bell" ("Keep Talking," "Take It Back").
Among the bonus features are the back-screen stage projections used during the 1994 and 1987 tours, plus music videos for a host of "Division Bell" tracks, the off-stage documentary "Goodbye To Life As We Know It" and Floyd's performance of "Wish You Were Here" with Billy Corgan at its 1996 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Meanwhile, Pink Floyd guitarist/vocalist David Gilmour will tape a live DVD of his own during his May 29-30 stand at London's Royal Albert Hall. The project is expected to be out before the end of the year.
In addition, Gilmour's March 7 tour kickoff show at London's Mermaid Theatre will be screened tonight (May 16) in 100 U.S. movie theaters. For participating locations, visit BigScreenConcerts.com.

hmm, perhaps Columbia have let slip the information before EMI/PFM announced it.

Pink Floyd are on Columbia for US, Canada, Japan and Australia and EMI Europe.
Also, PFM(formerly known as EMKA) were known to keep PF things under secrecy until last minute. They said PF and Waters were not going to play Live 8 then at last second said yes.
Even EMKA(which was PF's old management) kept things under wraps in the US. The only people who knew PF were releasing a new album in 1994 in the US were those who tuned into the US rock radio call-in show Rockline on November 24, 1992 when David Gilmour and Nick Mason(who appeared on the show promoting the Shine On box set) announced a new PF album to be out within a yearish which turned out to be 1994.
PF announced a European tour in 1993 yet the Yanks for the most part still didn't know(save us hardcores like myself) and wasn't headline news. In 1994, PF held a press conference to announce a North American tour(which only saw Steve O' Rourke in attendance as PF were in rehearsals for TDB tour).
Also, TDB was released a week early in the UK and the US had to wait until April 5, 1994.

With the PFM denying the LIVE8 concert, David didn't actually agree straight away. Rog called him up and they chatted about it, and then he mulled over it. Only then was it officially announced.
