2 stars BEWARE! ?. Of unsprupulous others who make DVD documentaries with 'INDEPENDENT EDITORIAL CONTROL'. They contain the same old clips seen in legitimate 'docos' interspersed with 'nobody' talkiing heads and cover bands playing floyd numbers because the makers of these DVD's have no legal access to actual pink floyd material.

These DVD's overlap dramatically, using the same material over and over, mostly Syd era stuff, even when the title of the DVD refers to later albums or periods, the same Syd era stuff is trotted out to fill space.

If you must buy any of these DVDs then buy one of the more 'general' ones that covers the whole history and then STOP there. Look for the 2 disk releases ? they are the better ones, or the Inside Pink Floyd volumes 1&2.

AVOID those titles as individual album reviews in particular as these are generally the worst. These DVD;s contain nothing new for the Floyd aficionado. Especially avoid the 4 disk sets as these contain the sam amount as the 2 disk sets, simply spread out on to 4 shorter disks.

You have been warned! Don't waste your money

1 stars What happens if you have a mini video company and you want to make some money?But what happen if you don't have any money to invest?

Well, obviously you just take one of the biggest bands around and tell their story, right?

Wait, but what about if we record a doc about EACH AND EVERY album of the band? GREAT IDEA!

Yeah, specially cause we're having THE SAME people on each and every doc. But wait, we don't have the rights for all of their albums... whatever just tell the story and play anything from the lousy 1987/1988 tour.

That's it! Now you know what this doc is about, run away from each and every one of this titles, even if you see them for 50 cents...
