Pink Floyd

After waiting a few years for a price reduction I finally caved in and bought a like new used copy of pulse on DVD for €10. I've heard the stuff live but never viewed it because every time I saw it in store or online it was massively overpriced. I hear mixed reports on the visual quality and some fans are desperately waiting for a blu-ray. Anyone know if the footage is decent for a SD DVD?

It's good DVD footage, although musically I feel it's lacking compared to many of the other recordings out there, both bootleg and official

Cheers, at least the entirety of The Dark Side of The Moon is on there which I'm looking forward to.

Personally, I think it looks kind of bad, but they were only working with standard-definition source material (the concert was shot on Betamax videotape). A Blu-ray upgrade will do nothing to help that problem.

Live At Pompeii, on the other hand, was shot on film. If the director Adrian Maben finds more of the original negatives then a Blu-ray upgrade would definitely be a possibility, as discussed in this massive new article on the Wish You Were Here SACD. It also mentions that a 5.1 mix of The Wall is destined for SACD, if James Guthrie can restore the multitrack tapes.
