Pink Floyd fans???

[AlecWest]

If you have a capture-card, TIVO, or other DVR, you might want to check your TV listings for your local PBS station tomorrow (March 1st). At 10:00 PM (Pacific), my PBS station is airing a 90-minute Pink Floyd live concert taken from their 1994 Division Bell Tour. In my locale, the concert video will also be repeated on March 4th at 1:00 AM (Pacific). I'll be capturing it for posterity.

[SquirrelDip]

Hell yes! Saw the Division Bell tour back in Toronto.

[Lucifers_Ghost]

Just for accuracy sake, I believe the tour was called "Pulse" :P

I bought the 2 disk dvd set. Its unbelievable.

I saw the "Delicate Sound of Thunder" tour live and bought the dvd set as well. While Thunder has that raw power aspect, Pulse is much better in terms of quality.

Floyd rocks!!!

PBS played that Floyd show during their last membership drive here. Pink Floyd is one of the all-time best, that's for sure. I think that "Pulse" DVD set can be had pretty cheaply at Amazon or eBay.

[thecoalman]

"Run Like Hell" on Pulse is phenomenal.... Never saw them but had a chance to see them at Veterans Stadium and kick myself in the ass everytime I think about not going... what a dumbass. I had to listen about that unfolding disco ball for weeks... :P

yeah i was gonna say i thought that show was the 2 dvd set they released, unless it's a diff. show from the same tour.

I had it on VHS for years before the dvd came out, then bought it on dvd, i recorded it off PPV way back when.

Still gonna check and cap it just in case it might be something diff. 8)

According to TitanTV's schedule, the "program" appears to be called "Pulse" - but the tour is called "Division Bell."



Likewise, I suspect the DVD was marketed under the "program" name.

[SquirrelDip]

I can't find it locally on cable - it is available on satellite...

But after reading what's on the DVD (and remarks here), I think I'll pick up a copy instead.

[MeDiCo_BrUjO]

I have tickets for Roger Waters in concert: The dark side of the moon, in Lima-Peru this 13th.

Anyone care to join me?

[BJ_M]

hmm, tempting .... C$1840 airfare and hotel !!!

[Ron B]

Take your surfboard, Peru has great waves. Just like anywhere else, a low profile and awareness of your surroundings will keep you out of trouble.

Well (ahem ahem), it was somewhat interesting to watch - at least, what they showed on PBS. This 90-minute offering from a 2-DVD set that, in theory, has well over 2 hours of live-concert performances, was NOT really 90 minutes of entertainment. It was broken up into parts separated by promo pieces to support PBS. In the past, when PBS has done this, they've always cut off the program ... gone to the promo ads ... then cut back into the program where it left off. This time, they started their promos while the program "continued" in the background. This is kind-of like commercial stations that now put ads within the active frames of programming WHILE the programming is underway.

I'm with you, SquirrelDip. My local mom/pop video store has the 2-DVD Pulse video set ... and if I want to watch it "unedited and unimpeded," that's the route I'll go ... or possibly, buy it from Amazon for only $18 and change.

Incidentally, I was watching them play "Money" and, when it got to the lyric, "Do-goody good bullsh*t," edited out the last word.

[thecoalman]

"Do-goody good bullsh*t," edited out the last word.

oooooooooooh don't want that word going over the airwaves. In their defense though it only takes one nitwit to call up the FCC and the next thing you know they are paying big bucks in fines for "indecent" programming. Even the documentaries aren't immune to this, http://www.current.org/fcc/fcc0613indecency.shtml

I'm pretty sure i've heard worse language on syndicated programs broadcast over the air/local channels

But, i'm glad it was not on my local PBS station so i did not end up wasting my time :P

[SquirrelDip]

Didn't get a chance to watch it but did pick up a copy on the way home. Will watch tonight (or over the weekend). Was busy setting up my old computer to triple-boot OS-X/SuSe10.2/Vista...

The main problem with the PBS is you know what you're missing - if you haven't seen it before then it wouldn't be such a problem. Same problem with old movies - keep getting edditted and cut back.

@MeDiCo_BrUjO: Pick me up at the airport?

Never heard the f-bomb used on anything but pay channels. If you read the article I linked to the main topic is about a Frontline piece that followed a platoon of solidiers in Iraq that were attacked while they were filming, as you can imagine a few choice words were flying.

FWIW, here's a short snip of the showing the lyric phrase as it was broadcast:

According to that indecency article, they're supposed to pixelate the lips, too. Didn't see any pixelation. I think a good lip-reader could pick it up ... though PBS could use the excuse that the microphone partially obscured the singer's lips (snarf).

[Ron B]

PBS can't afford pixellation gear and they always run the most popular shows during membership drives.

Weeeeeeell...... we were not talking about the f-bomb

I, at least, was talking about

:P
What thing's our.... ummm.... you know who, & the... ummm.... you know who else, think they need to protect us from hearing

Like there are not more important thing's to worry about
I really hate censorship!!

I just saw some episode's on fox in the last few weeks where you actually heard partof the f word & anyone would know what was said from the whole rant & then they cover their mouths with a blur spot, but you still hear it like "F__K"

I've always thought they screw up their best programming and run the worst programming during membership drives. But maybe that's just me...

[BJ_M]

pbs has shown monty python and b. hill many many times - both contain the 'word' (many of them) as well as nudity

Ever see the "Unnecessary Censorship" on Jimmy Kimmel? I swear they add the f and K

[SquirrelDip]

Watched Disk 1 this morning - Absolutely Increadable!

[Lucifers_Ghost]

The last few songs of disk 2 are unreal. Numb and Run Like Hell rock the house
