Well all has been said with this masterpiece. Floyd was at the apex of their career at the time, and were about to record Dark Side.

I would just like to say that , yes , the new arrangements on the movie is disruptive and ruins the original version (especially on Careful With That Axe Eugene where the burning of the film effects and the band walking in the Vesuvius crater are suppressed by other images. BUT THE ORIGINAL MOVIE VERSION IS IN THE SPECIAL ADDED FEATURES AND THE INTERVIEWS ARE ABSENT FROM THAT VERSION. Mason is brilliant in One Of These Days and so worked up that we can see him losing a stick, grab another and still manage to break the tip of it a few seconds later. Echoes is superbly book-ending the film.

So this is still an excellent buy since both the new version and the original version are available. You just have to know where to get the original version.
