acroyearRush Replay x 3 DVD - Live concert performances:
I hope they really did a new mixing job on the Rush Grace Under Pressure tour show. The mix by Broon was awful, and kept the audience insanely loud. If you only had a cheap mono tv (common at the time) you could barely hear the music at all. Part of me always wonders if he really put all his effort into it considering they'd just "fired" him from being their producer after 13 years.
Also just released is a concert film from Mike Oldfield from 1981's QE2 tour. Mike Oldfield took the world of music by storm at the age of 19 in 1973 with the release of his debut album, "Tubular Bells", which hit the No.1 spot in numerous countries and has gone on to sell in excess of 16 million copies worldwide. A naturally shy man, it was not until the end of the decade that he began to play live on a regular basis. In 1981, by now a confident stage performer, he embarked on his European Adventure Tour, which took in the Montreux Festival in July, where he performed in front of an enthusiastic sold out audience. Or so they claim. I'll get it and review it later.

RUSH REPLAY X 3 BOX SET
Four-Disc Package Features New 5.1 Surround Sound And Stereo Mixes
The band’s first three concert homevideos, each of which is out of print in any format, will be issued for the first time together and on DVD.

PINK FLOYD RELEASE PULSE, THE DVD OF THEIR LAST CONCERT. 18 September 2006The Pulse release date has been in flux for over a year - some sites are saying as early as July 27th, others are saying it was supposed to be out already. Go fig. When you see it in stores, you'll know its out, I guess. "Bootlegging the Bootleggers" means that they've included other material shot at the same set of shows (they did Dark Side 4 nights in a row and filmed all 4), like stuff that made the CD set but not the video.
On 18 September 2006, Pink Floyd will release their much anticipated DVD, PULSE, on EMI Records. The release date has been delayed until September to include technical additions and modifications. This landmark release, captures the last Pink Floyd Division Bell tour in 1994, and was filmed at London’s Earls Court during their recordbreaking 14 night residency. The two disc release contains the full concert performance with rare backstage footage and previously unseen extras.
There are many elements that make this Pulse release a must-have, but top of the list is that here, for the first time ever, is a live filmed performance of Pink Floyd’s towering, seminal album, The Dark Side of the Moon. The album in its glorious entirety is performed by David Gilmour, Nick Mason and Rick Wright during the second half of the concert and appears on disc 2. Shine on You Crazy Diamond, Another Brick in the Wall (Part 2), High Hopes and Learning to Fly are some of the classic tracks on disc 1 with never before seen rarities such as Bootlegging the Bootleggers and behind the scenes footage showing a snapshot of life on the road with one of the world’s biggest rock bands.
