The BBC have a special treat for Pink Floyd fans in the run up to Christmas this year. In a special fifty minute programme, airing on BBC1 on December 15th, at 11:35pm, viewers will be treated to the full Dark Side Of The Moon live performance recorded at London's Earls Court in October 1994, and subsequently released as PULSE.
The footage, recorded on the 'Division Bell' tour, is the only live performance of the classic Floyd album captured on film. Featuring great lighting and backdrop film sections, the footage was directed by the award-winning David Mallet.
The rest of the show was also recorded, and can be seen on the 2 disc DVD which hit the stores earlier this year. The release is stuffed with extra features and the main feature has had a lot of work undertaken to ensure the best possible sound and picture quality, bearing in mind the way that the original source material was shot. With the way that sales are going, PULSE could end up the best selling music DVD of all time!
For those who DON'T have this, the BBC broadcast is an excellent taster of what the full thing offers.
You can order the DVD, with a discount, through the following special links: Amazon UK, Amazon US/International, Canada, France, or Germany. Any item bought through these links at Amazon (not just Floyd items) helps with the running costs of the site, and we really appreciate it.
Our thanks to Jamie for the information on this must-see TV!
