Pink Floyd The Later Years - Specul/ation (Pre-release)

leaks will cause short-circuits in the heads of the avid floyd fans.

 

Well that got me excited already

 

Any chance to see DSoT in UHD? or just BD/DVD?

 

I'm assuming they're staying the course. Blu-ray, DVD and CD formats just like last time. My guess is individual boxes as well like they did for TEY but that's just a guess.

 

Yes!! ******** ***** ** ******* in HD!!

 

I think i'd be more likely to buy the full boxset of the later years

 

It's okay to discuss, I just didn't want to spoiler copied+pasted verbatim.

 

Do we know at all if its less cheesy 80s camera shots?

 

The shots probably won't/can't change too much (we need more Rick!) but I am hoping that they revisited the style of editing chosen for the original.

 

Either way will be great to see in a 4K transfer and the bonus songs too

 

Great to have

Venice

confirmed! 30 years ago, staggering in from the pub and being awe struck for a couple of hours and I was a Floyd fan from then on. Elated to have it confirmed, and if on Blu Ray, hopefully a nice LPCM stereo track that should decode well in surround.

Delighted to have the other two in 5.1, especially

Delicate

- I remember the VHS tape at least didn't have Money on, which made such an impression during the televised

concert. Glad to hear it might put in appearance as an extra.

Massively appreciate you sharing this @rontoon Already warned my Mrs that I'm in for this regardless of the cost, and that the price is likely to be somewhere North of £200. I took her eye rolling as approval.

 

What's the reason that

Spoiler

Venice is stereo only.

No multitracks available?

 

Thanks to rontoon yet again.

 

Money was included on the American VHS tape. There's an a shot of audience member frantically singing along with the "goody good ********" line, which is kind of funny.

The blu-ray will probably include it in the main feature.

 

That's a good question that I can't answer but your guess seems pretty reasonable.

 

Interesting...and YAY

Must mean the box has already been produced and official announcement is imminent.

 

Most, if not all of it, has been done for quite some time. It's a matter of marketing/release priorities/strategies and getting other things out of the way first.

 

How many of these are full (or mostly full) performances?

 

Good question especially for Knebworth will they exclude Great Gig but have the rest of the set including Money? As pro shot footage of Money has never been seen unless you was there at Knebworth watching the video screens.

 

AFAIK, DSOT will be pretty close to the original release in regards to the running order. I'm assuming (but pretty certain) that the others are complete performances.

 

Nice. I've never seen DSOT so this'll be a revelation.

 

Hello from germany

What do you think, is there a „new“ Pulse also included...?

 

Does anyone know the name of the documentary, that included footage of Pink Floyd playing Paris/Versilles in 1988? It featured interviews with fans, which is about all I can remember?

 

Was it WIRED?

I'll get back to you on that one... tomorrow.

 

Interesting! I'm now wondering why the UK VHS version dropped the track.



Hopefully the new set will have the fullest possible cut plus any extras. Looking forward on seeing said audience member now!
