This is an awesome concert! March 16, 2002

Delicate Sound of Thunder is Pink Floyd in concert at the peak of their powers. After the legal problems with Roger Waters during the early 80s, the remaining members came back with a vengence..as evidenced by this concert. Critics said it couldn't be done. How they were proved wrong. This was a multi-million pound grossing tour witnessed by millions around the world.
The concert concentrates on songs beginning with the Meddle album (1971) to A Momentary Lapse of Reason (1987) and of course covers a lot of ground in between.
Personally I never really enjoyed many of the songs on A Momentary Lapse of Reason - apart from On The Turning Away - until I heard this concert...now I appreciate what that album is all about.
Delicate Sound of Thunder is a must for any Pink Floyd fan. It sounds great - Dave Gilmour rocks, it looks great - the visuals and special effects are amazing considering it was 15 yrs ago! God I wish I'd been there!
This concert-video is PERFECT August 19, 2001

The music aside - this is by far the best concert-video ever made, in my humble opinion. This is truly the work of a perfectionist. You see all the important parts, but not even once is there a cameraman or even a cable in sight to disturbe the experience. And the light- and stageshow is as allways with Pink Floyd magnificent. So too is the music. The concert was a promotion-tour for the "Momentary Lapse Of Reason" album, and about a third of the video is dedicated to numbers from that album. The rest is the good old stuff! Allmost all of my favorites are there, and they are performed to perfection. Compared to the PULSE video, I think this is slightly better, due to the perfect editing.
 A GOOD WARM UP FOR THE PULSE TOUR VIDEO April 13, 2000

LIKE ALL THINGS "FLOYDIAN" THIS VIDEO IS OF A SPECTACULAR BAND PERFORMING A SPECTACULAR SET.NOT A NOTE IS BLUFFED AND ENTERTAINMENT IS GUARANTEED. THE SONGS COVERED MAY NOT SATISFY THE MOST DIE HARD FLOYD FANS AS SOME OF THE EARLIEST MATERIAL IS MISSING BUT, THERE IS ENOUGH HERE TO SATIFY MOST. THE VIDEO HAS WHETTED MY APPETITE FOR MORE SO I'M OFF TO ORDER THE "PULSE" VIDEO WHICH HAS ALL OF THE DELICATE TOUR, PLUS THE BEST PIECES FROM THE DIVISION BELL ALBUM. HAPPY VIEWING!
Unbeatable Excellence! July 5, 2005

Pink Floyd Live at their finest. The only thing that can make this any better is for it to be availble on DVD. EMI -PLEASE MAKE IT HAPPEN!!!!!!!
Underrated live film with several tracks you'll only find on video here February 9, 2008
Mr. George Hughes (Bournemouth, UK)
Having owned the Delicate Sound album for several years I've found it's always one you return to for the Momentary Lapse of Reason tracks- most of which weren't played live again on the Division Bell tour. Although I'm a fan of Roger Waters- era Pink Floyd and his solo work, being 25 my introduction to Floyd was through the David Gilmour- led last days of the band and I still count Momentary Lapse, Delicate Sound, Division Bell and Pulse among my favourite records.
This video should certainly be rereleased properly on DVD (it's currently only available on DVD in a very pricey and hard to find box set also including the CD's), perhaps remastered with some new extra features. Actually as I've just spent 30 on an 18- year old VHS tape EMI will probably release it next week!
Obviously, the main reason people will be interested in this title is for the tracks you can't get on video anywhere else (On The Turning Away, Dogs of War, etc.) but as with Pulse there are a few differences between the album and video tracklistings. The biggest disappointment is that Yet Another Movie and Round and Around are left off but instead you get Signs of Life and One Slip. Shine On is actually only the intro of the song rather then even the shortened "Concert Version" on Pulse but then it is a track Floyd played a lot and you can get it live anywhere (apparently Echoes was also occasionally used as the opener instead on this tour which would have made a much more interesting inclusion). Money is also absent but considering it's on the Pulse video as well as Waters' live In The Flesh DVD that's no great loss and the less overplayed On The Run replaces it anyway.
The style of the concert film (in an American arena rather than Earl's Court) is very different to Pulse too, directed as it is by Wayne Isham- anyone familiar with his flashy live DVD's for Metallica and Def Leppard will be familiar with the director's style- which is often more like watching a music video (some sounds and images intentionally don't match up- although that's not as bad as it sounds) than a live show. But at this point in their career Floyd seemed to be trying to get back to Meddle- era anonymity after The Wall tour so that's probably exactly what they were going for. There's no friendly talking to the audience like in the Pulse video, the band are backed by a massive cast of additional musicians (including a spectacularly mulleted saxophonist) and there's much more emphasis on the light show and some inspired Storm Thorgerson images on the video screen. It's also cool to see Gilmour, Rick Wright and Nick Mason looking so much younger. Also look out for the brilliant p*ss- take credit the band give an R. Waters for "Original Pig Concept" at the end!
Considering there is now a visual record of every other era of Pink Floyd (the '60's Syd Barrett days with the Live in London DVD, the experimental Meddle era with Live in Pompeii, the Waters years with The Wall film and Gilmour's version of the band with this and Pulse) it would be truly great if somebody could unearth some concert footage from the band's truly greatest (and democratic) years between Dark Side of the Moon in '73 and Animals in '77 when Waters and Gilmour worked so brilliantly together and even let the other two write the occasional song. Numerous sources have said over the years that at least audio recordings probably exist from that time so how about a massive, officially released CD/DVD live box of stuff from the golden age?
