Lots of griping going on about the quality of this release...from a technical standpoint, this performance was shot on videotape during 1994.  Just prior to the advent of high-definition recording, the maximum horizontal resolution for professional videotape was four hundred lines.  Whereas if the show had been shot on film, and the master print carefully preserved, it might easily have yielded one thousand lines or more.  Regardless of digital technology, they can only work so many miracles with a limited source tape!  For what it's worth to avid Pink Floyd fans, we hardcore ELP fanatics had to wait over three decades for the legitimate release of Emerson, Lake & Palmer's "holy grail" California Jam footage  ( and only one third of the set survived the ABC-TV editing block ).  Further, we only have that recording because an ABC employee made a copy of the broadcast master prior to the network erasing the tapes...said copy being made on the then industry workhorse VCR, a U-matic videocassette.  Our former pristine footage has been reduced to somewhere between 260-280 line resolution  ( slightly better than VHS quality ).  Unless future technology is able to coax eight hundred line resolution out of a four hundred line source, the DVD release of "Pulse" will remain about as good as it can get.  Count your blessings, Floyd fans...at least you have all of the stellar show!
