First,
the Bath footage. This is in B&W. The picture quality is not
top notch, but I have seen a lot worse, and this is at least
watchable. The performance by the band, and also the orchestra
[conducted by John Aldiss] are a bit of a shambles, in fact
at one point, the whole performance stops! The choir were
pretty on the ball though! I must confess to having seen this
footage elsewhere, so it wasn't a great surprise, but it is
definitely something a collector would love to have.
Now to the Amsterdam Rock Circus. Once again in B&W. This
is truly wonderful footage, and I was totally engrossed in
it. You could easily visualise yourself being there, and this
was the Floyd at their absolute best!
This wonderful set consists of Atom Heart Mother, Careful
With That Axe Eugene, and A Saucerful Of Secrets. Each and
every song played brilliantly, with some standout performances
from Nick & Rick on A Saucerful Of Secrets. Look out for the
pyrotechnics and the flaming gong! Wonderful, wonderful stuff.
The video quality is actually very good, but do consider this
was a hand held camera, although he did a good job on most
of it. Soundtrack is surprisingly good.
Now to the bonus extras.[Colour/color] This is quite incredible.
Amazing, pristine video, with top notch sound. It features
various outakes of Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun,
and is just something that has to be seen to be believed.
Each band member is featured in fine detail, and this is truly
historic Floyd footage. |
