Sound & Vision

P.U.L.S.E RESTORED & RE-EDITED - DELUXE EDITION

I continue to feel blessed I was able to see Pink Floyd’s Division Bell Tour, their last jaunt around the world, at Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey on July 17, 1994. Even though I was in the nosebleeds, way up near the top of the back of the stadium, I quite enjoyed the band’s overall visual spectacle and the live quad sound system to their intended effects.

Naturally, I made sure to obtain an audience recording of that show just to have a permanent audio, which infamously featured a pulsing, AA-battery-powered red LED on its spine. (Mine blinked for about 6 months, perhaps even longer, but I lost track after I turned it around on my shelf to face the wall once the novelty of seeing it every day wore off.) VHS and Laserdisc companions duly arrived in July 1995, while the slimline DVD emerged in July 2006 and the 180-gram 4LP vinyl box set eventually arrived in May 2018.
