I have seen a few different versions of this. I saw a version at the
Mission Theater in Portland, Oregon (great theater - costs $1 to get in,
and they sell beer brewed on the premises!). There were even more
wonderful examples of David Gilmour's stoned pontifications that were
cut out of the videotape. My favorite quote from David Gilmour in that
version: "People say we're a drug band, but...[incredibly long pause,
during which Gilmour slowly sticks his tongue out through his pursed
lips in some clearly unconscious and strange tic]...we're not."

It is an embarassment of riches! You even get to see (or at least hear)
a Synthi Hi-Fli in action! Plus, Waters can be see playing what sounds
like the Dr. Who theme on the Synthi AKS. Great music, hilarious
interviews, amazingly cool shots of the recording of Dark Side of the
Moon. Everyone needs at least one copy.
