DSOT or Pulse?

I've searched the forums and some similar threads have been made, but never a back-to-back Delicate Sound of Thunder vs Pulse poll. So... what does everybody think? Which is the best post-Waters live album?

Personally, I'd have to go with DSOT. I've just never been a fan of Pulse. I find it's a bit too bloated, the song selection isn't great, the live performance of Dark Side is very weak and you have to sit through a butchered, Rogerless, boring, 9 minute version of Comfortably Numb. And besides, the version of One Of These Days on DSOT is surprisingly well done.

Egads!!

LOL Shocked at my opinion? haha

No.

In my opinion they are both excellent albums. I can't pick just one.

I couldn't disagree more. It's a masterpiece. This version and the intro solo to SOYCD (again, the pulse version) is what influenced me to pick up the guitar.

IMHO, the very essence of Dave's guitar playing manifests itself in these two versions.

Heh, to each their one, but it's a great version IMO, possibly my favourite ever.

SOYCD sounds fine without Roger. I enjoy the ITF version better, but I agree both 88 and 95 versions of SOYCD are good. I just can't listen to Comfortably Numb without wanting to (and usually end up actually) turning it off, and plopping in ITF or The Wall Live for a better live version of CN.

I'm not trying to knock Dave's guitar playing either, by the way. Don't get me wrong about that. I just think a 5ish minute guitar solo doesn't quite suit CN.

I voted for DSoT. It was my first Floyd Album (vinyl) so I have an emotional attachment to it.

I agree that half of PULSE is redundant. Although DSOTM is well done and a good listen, it doesn't add anything appreciably to the original work.

What do you mean comfortably numb on pulse is boring!!!!!!
It is the best song on both CDs!!!!
it is gilmour at his best (out of DSOT and Pulse) and the guitar solo is the best i've ever heard

haha I dunno, i just find it better on The Wall Live and ITF

in the flesh , is good on roger waters solo stuff and goods that were not performed by Gilmour and Co , except for the brick in the wall ..... the rest is lifeless , very soft , automatic

DSOT , good / very booring and sounds like 80's spirit
+ CN very good version

Pulse , classic rock is dead ,
CN / Run Like Hell as a farewell duo


The Wall : Live , damn good , even great
ENJOY YOURSELVES !!!!!!!!

The two sentences do not contradict each other BTW

I don't know what to choose. None of them is good enough for me overally.

Not even the rockin' One of These Days on DSOT?!

(Which is a strange comment for me, considering I'm very partial to Roger Waters, but Pratt does fine on the bass for that one).
