PINK FLOYD RELEASE
PULSE, THE DVD OF THEIR LAST CONCERT. 18 September 2006
On 18 September 2006, Pink Floyd will release their much anticipated DVD, PULSE, on EMI Records. The release date has been delayed until September to include technical additions and modifications. This landmark release, captures the last Pink Floyd Division Bell tour in 1994, and was filmed at London’s Earls Court during their recordbreaking 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 that here, for the first time ever, is a live filmed performance of Pink Floyd’s towering, seminal 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 Thorgersen 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. Running Time Over 4 hours Technical Details Speaker ID, Pink Noise inc ‘Audio Setup’ Dolby Digital 5.1. Stereo DISC 1 Videos: Tour Stuff: Pulse TV Advert DISC 2 ORDER HERE .UK

We have
been advising you for some weeks now that there is no longer an official
date for the release of the PULSE DVD. Sadly, there is still no good news,
and now David Gilmour's OFFICIAL
BLOG has also confirmed that a release date is unknown to them. We
will keep a close eye on this, and of course you will read all the info
here as soon as it is known. In the meantime,
you can still order the DVD from these special links.UK

Pulse
DVD.
As we have been advising for some time
now, there has been much confusion as to when this DVD is finally going
to get it's release.
It's been decided that we are no longer going to advertise release dates
on this site until there is OFFICIAL confirmation of the date. We hope
by doing this, that at least WE will not be adding to the confusion. In
the meantime, you can still order the DVD from these special links.UK

CD WOW are advising their customers as follows: This title has been taken off the release schedule by EMI, and they have supplied us with no new data. This title will still be released, however it could be released as late as April 2006, unfortunately the decision is not with CD WOW but with the record company.
10 Dec. Pulse DVD.
There has been much confusion as to when
this DVD is finally going to get it's release. You will recall a few days
ago we advised that the German language Pulse
& Spirit web site were reporting that the release date has now
been delayed to a date unknown, but thought to be aometime in 2006! It
was reported that the source was
EMI, and as Pulse
& Spirit is a highly regarded source, we have no reason to doubt
that. Various online outlets are advising on a variety of dates, with
some still claiming 5 December, but as that date has now passed, we figure
they were wrong! We have decided that we are no longer going to advertise
release dates on this site until we have OFFICIAL confirmation of the
date. We hope by doing this, that at least WE will not be adding to the
confusion. In the meantime, you can still order the DVD from these special
links.UK

4 Dec 05. PULSE DVD Indefinite Delay? Our friends over at the German language Pulse & Spirit web site are reporting that the PULSE DVD has now been put on hold, apparently to a date unknown, sometime in 2006. The Pulse & Spirit source is reported to be EMI, who, it is said, have advised distributors of the delay. At this time we are unable to confirm the story, but Pulse & Spirit has a reputation for good solid information. Naturally if we find out more we will let you know.
On No! Not Again!!!! Just
when you thought that you would have the PULSE DVD in time for Christmas,
comes the news of yet another delay! We guess after all the years waiting
we shouldn't be surprised, but this is starting to get ridiculous. The
new date is now a wordwide release date of 16 January 2006, although we
wouldn't be surprised if that date slipped once again. Please NO emails,
we are as disappointed as you probably are. You

PULSE DVD Delay. We

in the UK on 12 December, with the USA/Canada date now 20 December.

More Delays - 20 July 2005
Whilst in London on 12 July, Col had a meeting with Pink Floyd's Manager.
High on the list of items to discuss, was the release date of the PULSE DVD.
Sadly, it is not good news. It seems that a background documentary that is to be included on the DVD needs 'more work'.
Pink Floyd themselves, and their Manager, are aware of the huge anticipation surrounding the DVD, and they are as disappointed as we all are, that this is not yet ready for release.
However, they want this to be the best DVD ever, and are therefore taking incredible steps to ensure that everything is 100% perfect.
The earliest we are likely to see the DVD is LATE 2005, but be prepared for more slippage, as it could even roll around into 2006.
Col was also told that the release of the Live 8 DVD had absolutely no bearing on the release date for PULSE.
In older news, we were advised that the band were also said to be considering doing yet a further mix of the PULSE CD with ADDITIONAL songs. We tend to think it's doubtful that these are new songs. It's possible (but not confirmed) that One Of These Days and the preshow ambient soundtrack that were on the cassette version, may be the additional material.
A Bit Of History
It's thought that David Gilmour finished working on the DVD late in 2003 and handed it over to James Guthrie to weave his magic. There has been a lot of misinformation about this release, and we can advise you that any copies of PULSE in DVD format that are currently on sale are BOOTLEGS. (Generally just a straight rip off the video/laser disc on to DVD).
Nick Mason said in late June 2004 "we've been putting it into DVD format which is, I have to say, stunning - the quality is just SO much better, and of course then it comes then with 5.1 sound which is also terrific. That was intended to be out last Christmas but I think we ARE going to get it out this year." He also reconfirmed this in October 2004.
Nick Mason confirmed in an interview in San Francisco on 14 April that work still continues on the DVD. He said the band are 'trying to finish' (the DVD) Nick said the show had been 'recut, which obviously gives us more length' & 'the sound has been mixed into 5.1 and were obviously looking for additional elements to put into the DVD' Download Interview - 18 April
