Summary: Rolling Stone Magazine is WRONG!
Review: I couldn't believe the review I read in Rolling Stone Magazine when this video first came out. The reviewer said that this video wasn't worth watching, he said you should just put on an old Pink Floyd album and stare into a lava lamp. Since that day, I've not looked at another issue of Rolling Stone!Not only is the band excellent in this video, the actual production is SEAMLESS. And you can tell the directing and editing was done by top quality professionals. One of my favorite examples of this is a quick audience shot when the Pig came floating out. There is a slow motion close up of this guy and if you read his lips, he says, "Holy ..., That's the ... Pig!" Which is overlapped as the Pig comes out. It was things like that that totally blew me away and left me thinking this is the best concert video I ever saw. With a close second to Talking Head's Stop Making Sense. WHERE'S THE DVD ?!?!?!?!

Summary: Why the annoying video effects?
Review: I saw this concert in Nassau Coliseum in New York in 1988. It was a great show. This would be a 5 star video but there are two problems with it. One is the slow motion during their playing, very bothersome. Two, what happened to the opening song "Shine On You Crazy Diamonds", there is only the last three or four minutes of it as the show starts. The song live was about 12 or 13 minutes long as heard on the CD. Please when you guys bring this to DVD give us the show as it was seen from the audience, I'm sure the film is in the archives waiting to show us the concert, the whole show. Please get rid of the special effects. Take a note from Roger Waters' DVD of "In the Flesh" which is a great DVD. Also saw that show in The Garden in 2000. If it doesn't come to DVD, a crime, then to Pink Floyd fans this will do.

Summary: Isham's Pink Floyd in Concert- Delicate Sound of Thunder
Review: Dave Gilmour, Nick Mason, Richard Wright, and a score of other musicians perform to a rabid crowd at Nassau Coliseum in Long Island, New York in this 1989 concert video. While many fans fuss about Roger Waters' absence from the band (as if other great bands have never split up or lost members), Gilmour and company hold together some great songs despite some all too florid direction from music video icon Isham. Opening and closing with "Shine On," Isham's camera does find incredible backstage footage of the elaborate laser light show accompanying the music. A giant round screen in the middle of the stage plays host to laser light and various film and video incarnations of the Pink Floyd songs being performed. Isham's direction through the first nine or ten songs is fluid and interesting. His camera goes slow motion, capturing the audience's rapture and the band's expertise. Other songs featured and performed are: "Signs of Life," "Learning to Fly" (with a too short drum solo), "Sorrow," "The Dogs of War" (with a great accompanying video), "On the Turning Away" (the most subdued track), "One of These Days," "Time" (the strongest performance here), "On the Run," "The Great Gig in the Sky," "Wish You Were Here," "Us and Them" (which goes on way too long), "Money," "Comfortably Numb," "One Slip" (the second best sequence), and "Run Like Hell." About an hour into this one hundred minute video, Isham's camera gets irritating. The songs are great, but he never strays from his directing formula until close to the end of the concert. He is a visualist without a vision, trying to mask unknown flaws or his lack of original ideas after an initial genius outpouring. On the positive side, there is nary a cameraman to be seen anywhere onstage, thanks to some expert editing. The musicians here enjoy the set as much as the audience. Gilmour is caught grinning on occasion, something I do not think he has done on camera since the late '60's. This is not the time to mourn and complain about Waters' departure, this is the time to listen to some truly great music. While any Pink Floyd fan should snatch this up, film fans in general might like the different take Isham gives to the concert film before becoming a victim to his own excess. Better than most concert films out there, "Delicate Sound of Thunder" booms and roars and provides enough eye-wow to last a while. I do recommend it. This is unrated, and contains mild profanity and very mild adult situations.

Summary: Pink Floyd in concert- Delicate Sound of Thunder VHS
Review: I have seen this video and have been to NY to see the concert myself. This is a 5* video.The cast is full of Pink Floyd spirit.For those of you who have seen this video,know what I am talking about.The back up vocalist's the [girls] who sang along were spectacular,more so than the girls in the pulse video.The percussionest is non stop and pleasent to the ears.The background video footage is very good. The sound is loud and clear.Over all this is just a great video and worth putting it back in production (TODAY). Though I am aware that , that will not probably be at all the case.And that I know Why!But lets just say that It is in my opinion that what ever problems that the artist have,the music is out there for people to enjoy. So I say just let it go.You have the money you need to live.... and have made the music that has aroused the hearts and souls of many true followers,who want nothing more than to squeeze what evers left out of the group.I would like to see more of what ever else that can be released to be released. Thank you,

Summary: Great concert video from Pink Floyd
Review: Pink Floyd's second concert video entitled Delicate Sound of Thunder was released in June of 1989(the satellite album was released in November of 1988). The album(and video) was recorded and filmed over five nights at the Nassau Coliseum in New York in August of 1988(the end of the regular Momentary Lapse tour '87-'88 and directed by video director Wayne Isham(Bon Jovi, Rolling Stones, Queensryche, etc.). The band would tour Europe again in 1989/90 in support of Delicate Sound with the tour called Another Lapse). The band first attempted to record a live album and video in November of 1987 in Atlanta but the band were not up to par. Subsequently, they tried again in the summer of 1988. As a result, a great live album and video. The album has superb live versions of On The Turning Away and One of These Days. The fans' much reviled track The Dogs of War is superior to its studio counterpart with Nick Mason playing drums this time and Rick Wright playing on keyboards like he did in the old days(the two are the only two original Floyd members who did every tour) and of course David Gilmour's vocals and superb guitar work. The film on this track is breath taking with the German Shepard dogs running with the yellow eyes as if they were possessed by Satan himself. Other standouts are Wish You Were Here and Learning To Fly. Some tracks are slightly edited like Shine on You Crazy Diamond and Comfortably Numb. The video features material not on the album like Signs Of Life, On the Run, a spellbinding The Great Gig in the Sky and of course the superb One Slip. Money was available on the US video version of Delicate Sound but not the UK edition. This video is unfortunately now out-of-print. The video did well for a live concert video as it went Multi-Platinum and is a great document of Floyd's reunion tour. I first got this video in January of 1993 and went through two copies and am holding on to them until this DVD is released. Highly recommended!

Summary: I need a DVD of this concert - and soon!
Review: I have just listened to my ageing tape of the DSOT concert yet again. I don't listen to it nearly as much these days, not because I don't want to, but because the tape is showing real signs of wear and one day it isn't going to be there for me any more. This concert has to be put onto DVD, it is one of my very favourites and I have been listening to the floyd since very early days. Aahh, the seventies, what a wonderful time was had...

Summary: The Best !!!
Review: This is the best live concert of Pink Floyd, though Waters is not here! Liked "The Wall" Berlin Concert of Roger Waters too, but that was different...various artists, something was missing...like the original line up :o( Anyway, availability of a DVD of this Concert is rare, however I have a imported VCD, quality is much better than VHS. You should collect this concert in some formats...VHS/DVD or VCD!!!!

Summary: Probably the Worst Musical Concert To Date
Review: This tape is just pathetic! The special effects are great live, but they don't seem very interesting on the tv...sorta like watching fireworks on tv. The slow motion footage, which is throughout the video, is very distracting. I found myself turning the tv off and just listening through the stereo at times. And the Floyd were a foursome once. Well, whatever your view concerning these guys calling themselves PF is irrelevant when you consider Waters wasn't replaced with a lyricist/bass player...but a whole busload of personel. There must be 25 people onstage. Reminds me of Lynyrd Skynyrd with their 3 guitar players, 2 drummers, 4 girl singers, congo player, triangle player, blah blah, blah. Who coulnd't sound good with all these people? Who is Pink? Well, considering Roger Waters wrote this lyric, it's silly to think he was writing about Gilmour (hint: that entire album was concerning a past member...duh). Delicate Sound of Thunder is for diehards only who were to young to remember the Floyd in their prime.
