Default What's your favorite Pink Floyd concert DVD?

I got a Pink Floyd Pulse DVD for Christmas and it looks like a good one. Is the Live at Pompeii dvd good? Mike

It is good Mike, I prefer Delicate Sound of Thunder and Pulse, but if you want to capture the original line-up with Roger Waters in the band Pompeii is an essential addition to the library.

I unwrapped the "Pulse" DVD and watched it tonight. Great! I can see why Best Buy uses it for a demo for big screens and surround sound.

The thing about Floyd - especially in their later years - is that their output is always reference level quality. I like Pulse but I prefer the Delicate Sound of Thunder video. Pompeii is a bit, eh... I can't get into it. Good tracklist though.

My Favorite would be Delicate Sound of Thunder. Probably because I was at that concert, so it's got a little extra meaning to me

Waiting for either Pulse or Delicate Sound on Blu-Ray.. No so much for the better video quality but it should be much improved audio.. Nothing like DTS-HD or Dolby TrueHD. It is simply awesome. Can't say enough about it.

What do you prefer DTS-HD or Dolby TrueHD?

I like both, DTS and Dolby are both good, I would think there is more difference from the quality of speakers you are playing the DVD on than the minute differences between either format. I have played around with all these formats and they are stunning when you set up everything properly.

Hep has to move out of the dark ages and get himself a DVD rig and a surround system, even die hard audiophiles would and do appreciate the quality of the new technology. It complements a great stereo, not replaces it.

Regular DTS and Dolby 5.1 are NOT the same as DTS-HD and Dolby TrueHD. DVD Audio is "Lossy" where as Blu-Ray audio is "Lossless" Even though DTS and Dolby sound good on DVD's, their Blu-Ray counterparts blow them out of the water. It's like comparing an MP3 to CD-Audio.. Here is a little more info Blu-ray Audio Formats Explained

I personally prefer DTS-HD although it's hard to tell the difference. If you have the chance sometime try watching a good movie on Blu-Ray using DTS-HD and you will see what I am talking about.

I never said they were the same GG, just saying there is probably more of a difference between playing Any of those formats on a modest system as compared to the playback on a really top notch system. Such as playing True HD Dolby on a modest surround rig won't sound as good as the Lossy formats on a Great rig, it is as dependent on your quality of equipment as it is the format.
