Because I was only looking for a single seat, I managed to get a pretty sweet seat.   Row F on the main floor.   My ticket is purchased.


And as a bonus, the concert happens the night before Emerald City Comic Con....and the Paramount is literally right next door to the Convention Center where the Con takes place....AAAANNNDDD my wife and I managed to get the hotel to extend our stay to Wednesday night, so all I have to do is walk to my hotel after the show and then wake up and go to Comic Con.   

That's going to be an AWESOME weekend.

So two things:  one, assuming that they are (at least for the time being) skipping the "Middle Years", since the "Early Years" ended around Obscured By Clouds?  Or do the "Immersion" box sets cover that period?   

Two, not that I would spend $500 on this alone, but does the Pulse material include the two soundscapes that were available only on cassette tape?

The Venice and Knebworth shows are exciting, as well as a the restored Delicate Sound of Thunda!

Oh and unreleased studio recordings from the Momentary Lapse and Division Bell sessions?!?!?

Too bad I'm a broke ass bitch

I just don't understand what they were trying to achieve with any part of the song, either individually or as a whole. You know what? It's the Platypus of Dream Theater songs. That bill doesn't go with that tail, or that strange little furry body, or those webbed feet, and oh god why does it have venomous spurs!? And then you find out it lays eggs too. The difference is that the Platypus is somehow functional despite being a crazy mishmash or leftover animal pieces

 :o :caffeine:  :metal :hat :hefdaddy :millahhhh

This has always been my favorite concert video ever since I first got it on VHS decades ago. And the one I was certain was never going to make it on DVD, to say nothing of BD.

That Venice show is pretty neat from a visual standpoint based on the location.

I wish they would blow up these ridiculous box sets and release the items as stand alone. How many of us who can't buy the whole set would spend $100+ on individual items of our choice?

Ah, I didn't really check that out as their "Early Years" don't interest me much.

As much as I want Delicate Sound of Thunder on DVD or Blu-ray, I ain't paying all that money for that box set just for that (and most of the rest either doesn't interest me or is something I will watch/listen to once and never again).  Hard pass at that price.

WTF no CD release? Not to rage but that is so GD annoying. Not specific to this set but in general, putting out such a mammoth package as this and releasing an album NOT in standard CD format? Seriously.

That seems to be a trend among some older bands.  Not all, but definitely some.  They put out these huge packages that cost hundreds and don't release a smaller version or just the video or just the music.  Not everybody has shitloads of money to spend on these packages, and it seems like they're missing an opportunity.  I've love to have upgraded versions of a lot of my media, but a little bit at a time as I can afford it.

Those videos manage to look so 80s, and so timeless, at the same time.

I love how Guy Pratt looks so out of place on stage with PF, but was hand-picked by David and has been playing with him (in PF and solo) for decades. 

A couple YT comments said there were changes to to some of the video shows. I thought they just remixed the audio. Can anyone confirm?

Well damn. That doesn't change the fact that there is no way in hell I am buying this. But I am a lot more intrigued than before. That VHS tape was probably my most watched video of any sort for a good stretch of 6-8 years. Back then I probably knew every single shot, it would be strange to see a new version.

The VHS is the first video I remember watching and I watched it over and over so I'm excited to see this. I wonder how pulse will look. I think that was also re-edited. If that's true then there will be three edits of pulse.

I voted DSOTM, WYWH and... The Final Cut. I know it's not a popular opinion, but it really is Floyd's greatest album, and a stunning achievement. I'm totally happy with the fact it's just me who thinks this.

Animals is "overrated" in the sense that (IMO) it isn't close to as good as Dark Side, Wish You Were Here or The Wall, but it is a still a damn fine record, and part of what was the greatest 4-album run of the 70's. :hat

You guys are all nuts.  Animals is the best Pink Floyd album of all.  It was the peak of their ability to combine concept, songwriting, and playing.  It sounds fucking amazing and doesn't have an army of session guys playing on it.  It's just the four of them.

It is a fantastic record, don't get me wrong.  I just love all of the others from that 4-album run more.  If I loved Pigs as much as I love Dogs and Sheep, it might be more of a photo finish for me.

To me, Pink Floyd is all about two albums...
Wish You Were Here and Animals.

But I do love The Final Cut.
