In Reply to: RE: Have "Pulse" and "In The Flesh" Q Sound... posted by Jonesy on February 06, 2017 at 17:46:14
I ordered Pulse because I like P.F. and their LPs and CDs usually have been very good sounding.Hopefully it will be here by the weekend.
Follow Ups:
Got a chance to listen to first two songs on Pulse. Holy smokes. Can you say "guitar". Really fills the soundstage. Crowd down below and all the way past the speakers. Poor Nick, his drums in the background. Vocals laid back a bit whereas Roger Waters would probably be more prominent if he was present. Nice sax imaging.
I didn't feel as immersed as Amused to Death in regards to Q sound. But then it's studio vs live and you don't get the black backgrounds with crowd noise present.
The talent and song writing. Was nice to revisit and feel those shivers again.

I had a chance to listen to one of the two Pulse CDs as well.I agree with the above review on it being well recorded with good imaging.Most of my Pink Floyd is on vinyl and I found that the vinyl renditions have better low bass than the Pulse CD.
"In The Flesh" has more bass. Otherwise, like Pulse, same good imaging. Again it's "live", can't really say excellent imaging in terms of being immersed. I checked out "Ummm Gumma" live CD out of curiosity. Realized my search was heading in wrong direction so wound the session down. Except for "Ummm Gumma", I don't have any live PF or RW on vinyl.
Cheers!

Do you have In "The Flesh" On CD? is it good?
In the Flesh is good. Pulse CD and Video typical Pink Floyd/David Gilmour with the music and imagery at the forefront. In the Flesh CD and Video more dramatic in the usual Roger Waters way. It's interesting to hear the same songs delivered differently. I'm a big fan of Water's solo stuff too. They are nicely done.
Roger Waters is surprisingly less camera shy In the Flesh" and it's nice to see. Video highly recommended as well.
Cheers!

I will look into Flesh.My wife and I listened to some of the other CD in Pulse which are DSOTM selections.It also sounded quite good.Sitting in the middle seemed to be more critical than usual for some reason for the best imaging.We also played Alan Parsons Turn of a Friendly Card & Steely Dan Gaucho lPs which were both excellent for sound stage & imaging.
