Anybody have the 5.1 SACD remaster of DSOTM? How is it?

I saw them in Houston in the late 80's at the Astrodome, Gilmour was on and sounded great. I'd like to see them in a smaller venue where the music is more important that the visuals...the crowd was more into the trippy lights and lasers than the music, which was kind of a bummer...

I think the reason they don't offer a remastered audio only Pompei is because the performance while good, outside of the musicians themselves there are problems that crept into the recording that I am fairly sure are near impossible to remove. A year or two ago they came out with a whole remastered DVD version (which kicks ass by the way) but almost all of the flaws I remember on the original are still there. The most common issue was I think a ground problem. You can hear the popping noises in quite a few places. Because that sound is still in the new improved version, I am willing to bet the original recordings are gone and they only have a master final mix version to work with.

I like PULSE DVD, amazing concert, amazing sound, way better than some great bands get in the studio.

That's quite possible--and the credits on Live at Pompeii indicate it was some kind of Italian TV production, don't they? It's been awhile since I've seen that one. If so, I guess it's possible that the *only* audio is the audio track on the videotape/film, not a separate audio recording that would be good enough for release as an album.

I'll have to get the DVD--that's one worth owning.

Re: Pink Floyd...awesome shit!

Well, it was filmed by Italians, but I think it was all Floyd's doing and there was a multitrack recording once upon time. It blows the illusion on the new Pompei DVD, but they removed some of the cheesy old film tricks with clips of them overdubbing in guitar and vocal parts.

Re: Pink Floyd...awesome shit!

I have every Floyd album and most of the videos, including Pompei on VHS. I have been a Floyd fan since high school, and have hit the bong(and still do) and listen to Floyd on a regular basis. I think the live version of Saucerful of Secrets on the Ummagumma CD is the Floyd song I am listening to the most these days. Echoes has long been my favorite recorded Floyd song. I am not that big of a fan of The Wall(except David's solo on Comfortably Numb, the live version) or Roger Waters' later works.

Pink Floyd Laser Light Shows RULE!!!

Ah... I'm gonna play Ummagumma studio...

Re: Pink Floyd...awesome shit!

I like Roger Water's solo albums too, specially "Amused To Death" Jeff Beck and Steve Lukather did some awsome playing there.

This was recorded last Sept for the 50th anninversary of the Fender stratocaster. He is playing his famed serial number 0001 Strat. His tech had bought it from Seymour Duncan for around $900. After bugging Phil Taylor, his longtime guitar tech, for quite a while to sell it to him, upon offering him enough to buy a fine house finally convinced Phil to sell it to David.

That 0001 strat guitar is right up there with the EC Blackie and the EVH VHII guitars.

Floyd Music is Great.

Re: Pink Floyd...awesome shit!

That guitar is also the most storied. Most people think it was the first serial numbered Strat when there was perhaps a 100 made before it with the serial number stamped on the trem cover plate.
