There are a TON more clips on the tube which I haven't seen before, plus some really cool audio-only clips recorded in San Diego, St. Louis, San Tropez, etc from '69-'71. In my opinion, that was when the band by and large had the coolest sound.

That's a great DVD! I've had it in my collection for a long time but it's been awhile since I've watched it. Guess I know what I'll be doing this evening.

My fav part starts on 6'04", it has an almost disco feeling! :D

Awesome. My favorite Floyd album (Meddle). I was hoping to see the Ric though.

When Waters dropped the Rick? '68-'69 or something?

Nice!
This and Atom Heart Mother and some Krimson are about the only rock from that era I still consistently enjoy.  This is the frist live version I've heard. Nicely done.
Thanks!

One thing Floyd always had was groove. That can't be said of too many other Brit proggies who tend to sound angular.
