Overview

There are live recordings, and then there is Pulse. Filmed on 20 October 1994 at Earls Court — one of the most technically ambitious concert productions of its era — the original release already set a high bar. This restored and re-edited edition, rebuilt from the original tape masters in 2019, raises it further: cleaner audio, tighter edits, and a second disc's worth of material that turns the package into an essential archive rather than a simple souvenir.

Disc 1 runs the full Earls Court show: Shine On You Crazy Diamond, a complete Dark Side of the Moon, Comfortably Numb, Wish You Were Here — played at a scale that few bands have matched before or since. David Gilmour's guitar work throughout is in a different category from most live recordings of the period. The 5.1 DTS Master Audio track (96/24) makes this obvious on a good home theatre setup; the stereo PCM (48/24) holds up equally well for headphone listening.

Disc 2 is the real differentiator. Three music videos — including the rarely-seen 2014 Marooned clip — sit alongside Pulse Tour rehearsal recordings, multiple versions of the concert screen films, and a Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction performance of Wish You Were Here featuring Billy Corgan. The Behind the Scenes documentary, covering lead technician interviews from the Division Bell Tour, rounds out a second disc that rewards repeat viewing.

For Pink Floyd collectors, this is the definitive version of Pulse. For anyone who missed the Division Bell Tour, it's the closest thing to having been there.

Interesting Facts

• Earls Court 1994 was among the largest indoor concert productions ever staged at the time — the Division Bell Tour featured a 12-metre circular screen and a full-scale model Spitfire flying over the audience.
• Richard Wright, Pink Floyd's keyboardist and co-founder, died in 2008. Pulse captures one of the last major live runs he completed with the band, making this footage irreplaceable as a document of the classic lineup.
• The original 1995 Pulse DVD was famous for a built-in red LED on the spine that blinked continuously — a design detail that enchanted buyers and ran down batteries for years.
• "Re-edited from the original tape masters in 2019" means the restoration team went back to multi-camera source footage rather than working from the finished broadcast cut, allowing corrections and improvements impossible from a dub.
• Nick Mason is the only member to have appeared on every Pink Floyd studio and live release; his drumming on One of These Days and Run Like Hell in the Earls Court footage remains a benchmark for live rock percussion.
• The Division Bell (the album that prompted the tour) was the last Pink Floyd studio album to feature all three core members — Gilmour, Mason, and Wright — working together.
