Whilst I understand exactly what 'Boo the Moo' is getting at when he reviewed this documentary and found it dull I would like to add a few comments.
This low-budget movie was made in the mid-seventies and yes it does it's age badly during the early 'documentary' parts.
The camera system developed by George Greenough to capture what it's really like to be 'in the tube' was pure genius then and I have yet to see anything else to better it in the intervening 21 years.
There really is no better way to become a Pink Floyd Fan! As a 14 or 15 year old (I'm 38 now) flicking through the TV channels one Summer's day during the school holidays I was transfixed as beautiful and 'otherworldly' images of crystal clear blue sea, surf, dolphins and crashing waves were wed to a perfect soundscape of Pink Floyd's 'Echoes'.
If you are already a fan of Gilmour & Co then you must see the 'Echoes' section of this piece in a darkened room with your home-cinema system cranked up to really appreciate the perfect fusion of Pink Floyd's unique sound and Greenough's visuals.
If you are not a fan, try the above and you will be.
