Official cds, videos and books

Dark Side Of The Moon, Pink Floyd's first masterpiece. Decades later, still an incredible experience to listen to.

The cd with the blinking red light. And the video that MTV played every night in 1994-1995. Pulse is from The Division Bell Tour. Meet the new Pink Floyd, same as the old Pink Floyd. Great selection of songs. Gilmour's voice is smooth sailing.

I always assumed that the Pulse cd and video were from the same show. The video is from London, October 20, 1994 and the cd is from a bunch of shows - see the table below.

The Division Bell is one of my favorite Pink Floyd albums. It 'takes you down to Strawberry Fields.' Animals is a political rock opera. 10 points if you read Animal Farm in junior high and didn't use Cliff Notes. The Final Cut is a bit 'bitchy' for me - I love the countries I've lived in. Its more a Roger Waters solo album than a Pink Floyd album.

David Gilmour's solo work is a gift from the Gods. I didn't know about his two solo albums until a few years ago. Both should've been more appreciated by Pink Floyd fans. Two songs from About Face were written by Pete Townshend. And David Gilmour plays guitar on Pete Townshend's White City (and in the Deep End video). Ditto Richard Wright's two albums. Its like hearing two of the Pink Floyd components one at a time. These four get a lot of play - I usually put them in my stereo at once and enjoy a four hour Pink Floyd solo trip.

This is like Cliff Notes for The Bible. A book that explains the lyrics of Pink Floyd. Amen.
