22-song set at London's Earls Court during The Division Bell Tour.
Great, that's the one I was at 🙂 Remember someone coming on stage at the start saying it was going to be recorded so they added a few extra speakers.
I was there as well. Definitely going to watch this. Thanks for the heads up.
Cheers Eddie - that's this evening's entertainment sorted
I was at that Divison Bell concert at Earls Court too.
Me too, the first one where the seats collapsed. We thought it was an effect duh!
Great post, thankyou!
Excellent. Watching now 🙂
Cheers for this, shared with my Dad who was also at the Earls Court show mentioned above
We can all meet up in the bar later guys...
LOL £22.50 be more like £250 nowadays.
Thank you OP!
Just watched the linky in It's entirety. (I have Pulse on dvd anyway)
Is there actually any band nowadays that could produce a similar performance?
Cos I'd love to see it.
The only thing I’ve seen lately like it are the David Gilmour band at Gdańsk and Pompeii. So basically Pink Floyd consisting of the guy who isn’t dead, bolshie or having more fun playing with cars.
A friend of mine offered to get me a ticket for the concert, can't remember why but I declined the offer. Bugger 😭
Pulse is great. Live at Pompeii as well. I’m hoping for some genuinely rarely seen stuff to be used for future streams though.
This weeks Floyd Freebie
Pink Floyd Live At Pompeii
1972 saw the release of ‘Pink Floyd Live At Pompeii’, a film of the band performing without an audience in the historic Roman amphitheatre of Pompeii, directed by Adrian Maben. The concert film is the 2016 re-edited version as featured in ‘The Early Years 1965-1972’ box set and will appear as part of the @YouTube Film Festival for a period of *24 hours only*.
Doh!
So that’s the only two Pink Floyd concerts I have on DVD. Worth watching if you haven’t seen/heard it though. Very good.
Ooh not seen that.
Looks interesting:
On April 30, 1970 British rockers Pink Floyd performed a set at the studios of San Francisco PBS station KQED. The resulting footage was aired as An Hour With Pink Floyd featuring the classic lineup of David Gilmour, Roger Waters, Rick Wright and Nick Mason.
The quartet starts with an early version of “Atom Heart Mother” before lighting into “Cymbaline.” Waters and Gilmour play acoustics on “Grantchester Meadows” ahead of “Green Is The Colour” and “Careful With That Axe, Eugene.” Pink Floyd brings the psychedelic-heavy performance to a close with “Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun.”
I’ve heard it, but not seen it. Will be watching for sure! Might try the live stream.
Forgot to update this but no Pink Floyd last Friday however David Gilmour posted his band's performance "Live At Pompeii" with some Floyd material plus his own stuff. 45 years wait after the Floyd performance there is nothing considering this was the first public performance at the amphitheatre since the eruption of Vesuvius in 79AD.
Available until next Sunday the 17th.
Thank you, @eddiebaby, for that link to the full 2.5 hour concert. I've seen bits of it before (particularly Run Like Hell and Comfortably Numb, both of which are astonishing in isolation) but the whole thing put together is quite remarkable. I'm in heaven right now.
A reminder that it’s the last day for the Gilmour gig… I’ve got it on now.
Is Guy Pratt the hardest working man in music?
No new film but I'm sure the fans will open this thread...
The 1990 Floyd at Knebworth gig is due for release next month on CD and Vinyl. It has the greatest version of Money on it with Candy Dulfur on sax. (First song on the first of the linked vids.)
This stuff has only really been available in The Later Years boxset (I bought a second hand copy a couple of years back for £180! 😳 which I then shifted on). Worth keeping an eye out for.

I do like Pink Floyd, but for me, they finished in 1983 with The Final Cut. Roger Waters was right. I went to the concert in an old shed in London's Docklands, maybe 1989? It was shite. If there's anything pre-1983 on their list, I'd be up for having a watch, mind, so thanks.
Really enjoyed that Eddie. I never recognised money as a reggae tune previously. And that key change in comfortably numb makes me want to weep.
On my ride yesterday I sat under a tree in the middle of nowhere with a coffee and Money blasting through the 'phones.
That moment when the bass player shifts rhythm is brilliant.
Love the Knebworth vids, but how large were those shoulder pads! Looks like DG is wearing his dad's jacket!
Saw this elsewhere. Tended to ignore Roger Waters for some reason. Looks like I was mistaken. Great playing with musicians prepared to work with the material and not try to perfectly replicate the cd.

Well, the one who ‘plays with cars’ also has a full-time band, is also the only member of the band who was in it right from the beginning and is still alive, and playing all the original Floyd stuff up to DSOTM. Apart from ‘Echoes’, sadly. Hopefully the gig at The Forum in Bath will finally go ahead. He certainly hopes so, when I mentioned it while I was chatting to him last Sunday.
He does have a lot of very nice cars, though; one of them is probably worth more than the owner’s net worth! He does race them, as does his wife and daughter, so it’s a bit more than ‘playing’. The helicopter parked out on the back lawn made for an interesting garden ornament… 😁

Are you sure?
Syd and Joe Cocker still going strong...
And that Roger Waters.
And yes, Nick Mason is a top bloke I met a couple of times at the Coy's Classic. Just not been impressed with his Saucerful band, but to be fairtheyare smaller venues.
Not as small as Merthyr Tydfil where I may have seen him and his old band at the end of the 60s.
