Thoughts on Pulse? Is it a nice live testament to Floyd's legacy or transcendent Gilmourslop?
It's a great send off to the band.I especially like the version of Us and Them and Run like Hell on I.
>>129765544woulda been a cool swan song if they Dave didn't decide to ruin their legacy the last decade or so
>>129765653Dave didn't make that shitty DSOTM Redux
>>129765544Proof that people accusing Roger of being narcissistic somehow have no issue with Dave's grandiloquent megalomaniac spectacle where he plays songs he didn't even write
>>129766080Dave thanked Roger to the audience for "writing the songs" after every show.Dave also played Astronomy Domine each night so that Syd can get some royalties.Roger lost bro.
I wasn't aware of this yet, thanks OP. I bet it's gonna be great, just like other non-Floyd Gilmour things are great (nb Kate Bush debut).
back when I was a drug using degenerate this would be my go-to live album
>>129765633fpbp
>>129765653go home Rog, you're drunk>>129765676this. his "watered-down" Redux of DSotM was awful. I mean laughably bad. Like George Lucas shitting on his own legacy with Jar Jar Binks bad.
>>129766112>Astronomy Dominefuck yeah. I was at the 1994 show, it was kind of funny, they opened with Astronomy Domine and exactly half the crowd was like "where's the song about we don't need no education?" and the other half was like "YYAAAAAAAHHHH!"What an amazing show, front to back.
the Comfortably Numb was godlike. I bet so many people were tripping balls or stoned at these shows
>>129767401can confirm alteration at the show. I was between the soundboard and the stage, when the big disco ball lit up at the end of Comfortably Numb it took me a minute to figure out what. Then they lowered Mr Screen over David Gilmour, it looked like a big freaking spaceship landing, with all the patterns & stuff the lights were making. In a way it was more spectacular than the pew-pew lasers & boom of Run Like Hell.Jon Carin belted the shit out of Hey You too, what an amazing show.
>>129767521I've done some work for the lead rigger on every pink floyd tour from the wall to pulse. Names Brent. His name is in the credits of the pulse booklet. Very cool guy. Lived a crazy life. Gave me some tour merch
floyd ended when roger left
I enjoy it very much.What Do You Want From Me is actually a brilliant track on it.
>>129767935AMLOR and Division Bell are 10x better than Roger's solo albums of the same era.
>>129769308nah, amused to death clears amlor and division bell easily
>>129769351Amused has like 4 good songs
>>129765544Why is everything 'slop' to you people?
>>129769492Replyslop
>>129767853>mah rigger
>>129768090Poles Apart too. and High Hopes
>>129769930>>129768090DB has some of the best ever pink floyd tracks. perfect swan song. 10/10
>one of the biggest tours of the 90s>$35 a popcan confirm. my 1994 floyd ticket was $37.50 -after- Ticketmaster charges.yeah that's about $76 in today's money. Can you imagine paying that for a large-scale stadium show? shit that would barely cover parking.kids these days, they don't even know
>>129770264Ending on High Hopes was the perfect swan song. >THE GRASS WAS GREENER Honestly for all that people dick on Gilmour Era Floyd, shit was kinda based. Plus there's so many bands that copied that sound after.
>>129770565more like Poop Floyd>Keep Pooping:>I wanna rub some crap on you>(i don't want crap on me)>Just a little bit of crap on you>(still don't want crap on me)
>>129770603Roger it's time for your meds.
>>129770614david didn't start writing songs about poop until '79. he was mad about roger getting 11 songs on the album about WWII and his dead dad, so he told the rest of the bands that he was gonna write some songs about HIS fetishes for a change. roger threw a shitfit. which is ironic, because he turned down EVERY one of david's poop songs. that's why he's so pissed about the lawsuit to this day. david took pink floyd and turned wrote 3 albums about turds and rubbing crap on people and having sex with poop.
>>129770598this. I think most fans completely disregard TER as "outtakes from TDB"; TDB and High Hopes in particular is the perfect swan song indeed.>>129770646>oy keep your filthy hands of my chocolate pudding>your possible gas>the final grunt>when the turds broke freeyeah I don't think Dave was the one writing about poop
>>129765544Pulse is great, easily the best live Pink Floyd experience overall Obviously they're incredibly seasoned pros by this point and it sounds less 80's than Delicate Sound of Thunder which sometimes sounds too polished and reverby to me>>129765676Funnily enough Disc 2 is basically Gilmour's DSOTM Redux >30 years ago, Pink Floyd released Pulse—a live epic capturing The Dark Side of the Moon in full, with lasers, emotion, and that blinking red light on the CD case that just… kept… blinking.
>>129770904Pulse's DSOTM performance is 10/10 tho. it rivals any of the BEST performances from the original tour with rog. can't even compare it to the rog redux. that shit was doodoo turds
>>129770904that blinking light was on a little sleeve that you could pop out of the CD case, I know I wasn't one of the only people who used it as a cheap fake car alarm system. Just threw that in the console on my car and a casual interloper would only see a blinking red light.Also, it's a great album, and remarkably true to the original performance. They didn't cheat or clean up a whole lot, and this is before autotune and all that crap. But this was an era when a lot of bands would go in and basically do a studio album then mix in crowd noise (looking at you, Van Halen)If you listen to the Out Of This World soundboard bootleg from the show they used for Pulse, David Gilmour accidentally twangs the b string on his guitar after the opening line from Shine On You Crazy Diamond. *whonk*. They removed it on Pulse, but if you listen carefully you can actually hear it reverberate in the room.But if anything, the fact that the bootleg is so close to what eventually got officially released is testament to how great they were live on that tour.
>>129771331I'm bummed they started doing DSotM during the second half of the shows in 1994 about 3 shows after the one I saw.Still a great show but watching them do DSotM front to back would have been spesh
>>129771331>Pulse's DSOTM performance is 10/10 tho. it rivals any of the BEST performances from the original tour with rog. truth. Honestly it's my favorite live recording of the album. I also love the thing Dave says at the ending "takes you back doesn't it".
