Info:

P•U•L•S•E (pronounced, and sometimes written, as Pulse) is a live double CD by Pink Floyd, released on May 29, 1995[1] in the UK and on June 6, 1995 in the US, after the departure of former band leader Roger Waters, containing songs from famous albums Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, and The Wall.

The album was recorded during the band's Division Bell tour in 1994, specifically the UK and European leg, which ran from July to October 1994 (See Pink Floyd live performances).

The album includes a complete live version of The Dark Side of the Moon and features a booklet with many photos from performances on this tour. It also features "Astronomy Domine," a Syd Barrett song not performed since the early 1970s, as a tribute to the original Floyd guitarist.

Unlike Delicate Sound of Thunder, David Gilmour and producer James Guthrie have stated that no parts of the songs were re-recorded in the studio. However, the band and Guthrie fixed songs that had bad notes (as heard on some bootlegs) by lifting solos and corrected vocal lines from other performances as the band recorded most of the European leg.

In the U.S., P•U•L•S•E debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 in June 1995 (briefly dethroning Hootie and the Blowfish's Cracked Rear View for a week before Hootie regained the #1 spot in the U.S.) and was soon certified Double Platinum on July 31, 1995.

The cassette issue had two bonus tracks: "One of These Days" and a 22 minute ambient piece that was played prior to the 1994 concerts.

The vinyl version comes in a 4-LP box and includes "One of These Days" as well as a large version of the photo booklet. The video version (the only release of P•U•L•S•E with an accurate running order) also featured the song "Take It Back," and was, in fact, the near complete performance[2] from their October 20th show at Earl's Court, London.

On July 10, 2006, the P•U•L•S•E DVD was released of the concert performed on October 20, 1994 at Earls Court Exhibition Centre, London.

The original CD cover features a "eye-like" machine that has clock pieces inside, in its center, there is a planet, and on the outside, it shows evolution as it moves backwards, it starts in the sea, then moves to the bacterias, the bacterias evolve into fishes, then into egg type creatures, then into eggs, which hatch birds and the birds follow the trail of an airplane. On the bottom, there are six pyramids, and in the bottom of the sea, you can observe a city in the shore.

:headphones:

*note egarding my other nomination:

"Red hot chili peppers Live at slane castle" I was wrong, I though they had a CD from that concert but it's only a dvd so that probably doesn't count ?

Thanks bluesboy I really like those :D I didn't even think about using vids from the actual concert :doh: if one of the mods want to switch them around that would be fine or if anyone wants to listen they can use your links :D

I had just nominated Coyote in one of the recent tens and used the The Last Waltz video it didn't place but it was still a great video.

I'm here to represent the grunge scene :beatnik:

First up:

Live On Two Legs - Pearl Jam

otiwiu.jpg

Track List

1. Corduroy

2. Given To Fly

3. Hail, Hail

4. Daughter

5. Elderly Woman Behind The Counter In A Small Town

6. Untitled

7. MFC

8. Go

9. Red Mosquito

10. Even Flow

11. Off He Goes

12. Nothingman

13. Do The Evolution

14. Better Man

15. Black

16. F*ckin' Up

What is it?

Pearl Jam's first live album featuring performances from their 1998 Yield tour.

What makes it special?

Oooh where to begin? Could be that most of the songs featured aren't their biggest hits, but are incredibly powerful nonetheless. Could be the way Daughter effortlessly transforms into Neil Young's Rockin' in The Free World and then into W.M.A. Could be Mr. Vedder's banter while introducing Elderly Woman Behind The Counter In A Small Town ("This one's called, uh, 'Longest Title in the Pearl Jam Catalog,'"). Could be the way newly hired drummer Matt Cameron had to learn 80 songs in two weeks after Jack Irons left. Could be the few thousand voices singing along perfectly to Better Man. Could be that the shows these were taken from had opening acts like Ben Harper, Tenacious D, The Wallflowers, Frank Black (Black Francis) and Iggy Pop among others.

Why should I vote for it?

Because it's what a live album should be like.

I Don't Need No Doctor

I Walk On Gilded Splinters (part of it anyway)

Why vote for this album:

Because the Peppers are a band that sets live performance as it's first priority, they absolutely rock their concerts! :rockon:
