4.0 out of 5 stars Very good, but with important caveats, December 4, 2005

Excellent stuff because there is awesome improvisation on Pink Floyd's part, but be forwarned:

- Only 2 songs in this video (but with great jams in them)

- As of this writing this exact volume is available in a DVD as well. So why buy a CD ROM, which can only be played on your computer? DVD is less pricey too

- The CD ROM auto-starts with a Macromedia (Flash?) interface that works rather badly (at best is cumbersome), and on my PC shrinks the film to a small square in the middle of the screen. You will be well advised to navigate into the CD to the folder called VIDEO (using Windows Explorer) and open the .MOV files yourself manually. Thus you will skip this difficult interface and get yourself a full sized view of the film

5.0 out of 5 stars The Lords of Acid Rock in the Psychedelic heyday!!!, August 9, 2005

I had both of these cuts on a pink vinyl bootleg for years.
GET THEM NOW.

They are essential, true tablets of psychedelic revelation. The Floyd performed like this all the time, back in the day; this is the *only* semi-authorized live document from their eariest incarnation available, anywhere. Genius? Madness? Cacophony? These recordings "Boldly go where no man has gone before", although Hawkwind charted and mapped this territory a couple years later, the Floyd were the first to explore the Final Frontier.

This music will disassemble in your brain like a Rubic's Cube. It illustrates why the Floyd caught everyone's attention in the U.K. in the *first place*. Melts in your mind, not in your hand.

This set, with the CDR, is definitive. If you don't have the videotape "Live In London" (and very few people do) this is the only format available to view this footage, and it's SEMINAL stuff; get this, the Pink Floyd Singles CD, the mono rerelease of Piper at the Gates of Dawn, and *marvel* at the clarity of vision (ethnogenically induced though it be) of these visionary young men, and wonder: "What the hell happened?"

5.0 out of 5 stars Syd Barrett, RIP, July 11, 2006

Syd Barrett will be greatly missed. His whimsical songwriting style was unique and greatly influenced many famous musicians like David Bowie. This cd is an essential purchase for those wishing a taste of genius.
