Why is it all this footage - a lot shot on consumer equipment - looks better than what was professionally released...the films don't even flicker and didn't even have to be superimposed....

The whole smart-suited late '80s Pink Floyd looking like a bunch of ageing yuppies never fails to disgust me! Look at Gilmour's hair!

Ah it was the fashion at the time. Though i do agree about Gilmour's hair - it's probably a good thing that he's going bald now.

Hey all! Looks like these videos have been removed by YouTube. Anyone know on what site/platform the ProShots from the Versailles are?
I've seen some fan video from this show: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZQbGJwtRa4 but would love to see Professional video.

Has the Versailles ProShot even been published in its entirety?

nope apart from Great Gig on the original DSOT release and some footage used in a short trailer at the end of DSOT on VHS.
