2.0 out of 5 stars Shine On, Oct 2 2011

Previously known as Delicate Sound of Thunder, this concert is incredible. Yes, I only gave it two stars since I cannot play it on my DVD player (will only play on my computer... buyer beware). But in terms of the concert, it is a high-end 'hollywood' production of sorts... so well filmed and edited, there is a genuine sense of euphoria and psychedilia that seems 'dream-like.' I played the VHS version years ago to people who were not even into Floyd, and they were amazed at the quality of the concert filming and sound.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's Delicate Sound of Thunder, close to official DVD as you will get, Nov 17 2011

By Terrence J. Reardon "Classic rock and old sch... - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Pink Floyd Shine on Live (DVD)

Pink Floyd's second concert video entitled Delicate Sound of Thunder was released in June of 1989 (the satellite album was released in November of 1988) now available on DVD as Shine On - Live due to license from Columbia Music Video running out and also David Gilmour, Nick Mason and the late Rick Wright's disowning of Delicate Sound in general.
The album (and video) was recorded and filmed over five nights at the Nassau Coliseum in New York in August of 1988 (the end of the regular Momentary Lapse tour '87-'88 and directed by video director Wayne Isham (Bon Jovi, Rolling Stones, Queensryche, etc.).
The band would tour Europe again in 1989/90 in support of Delicate Sound with the tour called Another Lapse.
The band first attempted to record a live album and video in November of 1987 in Atlanta, GA but the band were not up to par. Subsequently, they tried again in the summer of 1988. As a result, a great live album and video.
The album and video has superb live versions of "On The Turning Away" and One of These Days". The fans' much reviled track "The Dogs of War" is superior to its studio counterpart with Nick Mason playing drums this time and Rick Wright playing on keyboards like he did in the old days (the two are the only two original Floyd members who did every tour) and of course David Gilmour's vocals and superb guitar work. The film on this track is breath taking with the German Shepard dogs running with the yellow eyes as if they were possessed by Satan himself. Other standouts are "Wish You Were Here" and "Learning To Fly". Some tracks are slightly edited like "Shine on You Crazy Diamond" and "Comfortably Numb".
This video features material that were not on the album like "Signs Of Life", "On the Run", a spellbinding "The Great Gig in the Sky" and of course the superb "One Slip". "Money" was available on only the US and Canadian video versions of Delicate Sound but not the UK edition but is here as well.
The video did well for a live concert video as it went Multi-Platinum and is a great document of Floyd's reunion tour.
I first got this video in January of 1993 and went through two copies but then got the DVD of Shine On Live and I'm happy with it.
Highly recommended!

3.0 out of 5 stars Delicate Sound Of Thunder, Feb 1 2011

By Mark A. Lamendola - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Pink Floyd Shine on Live (DVD)

For you Floyd fans this DVD is the same and i mean the same DVD as the Delicate Sound Of Thunder concert that is on DVD. They just changed the name. If you don't have the Delicate Sound Of Thunder on DVD or VHS then get it.

1.0 out of 5 stars SHINE ON NEEDS POLISH, Jan 6 2012

By RELENTLESS "VIDTREKKER" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Pink Floyd Shine on Live (DVD)

I know that fans rabid for this release will immediately balk at the one star rating for this...but please read on. This is a great show but the DVD presentation (finally realized in this first legitimate release) is incorrect as far as the aspect ratio is concerned.
This concert was originally shot in a FULL SCREEN (4:3) ratio. The previous laser disc and VHS had it right. Most of the DVD presentations up to now have been boots mastered from either of these. Although the audio for this show is good (not spectacular), this visual presentation is totally incorrect. IMMORTAL wide-screened the show and in the process stretched the image improperly to fill all the vertical information. The video screen (Floyd utilizes) for the show must be ROUND, not elliptical. All faces and bodies are stretched horizontally...
This must be corrected. I am a big fan of this group, this release and the idea that Floyd fans deserve better. I purchased the 2 CD set (from IMMORTAL, which is good) and hoped this DVD would finally be the last word on the subject...sadly it is not. Hopefully (someday) we'll get the real deal.
