Pink Floyd – Comfortably Numb
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News
I own the Pulse DVD. It is a great thing to watch on a winter weekend evening every so often.
One of the things remarkable to me is how massive the stage and associated parts of the show are. – and how they work. The large disk with what look to be fully gimbaled lights behind the stage is particularly remarkable. When I saw this in video that the entire assembly then moves, I was awestruck. (The giant mirror ball also turned itself inside out as well). This was a stage of amazing technology.
Another note that a friend who follows music told me: when the video was released a lot of the close shots of David Gilmore et al. Playing was in response to I believe a Rolling Stone hint that Pink Floyd may have been lip syncing..
Excellent video
I still have the original CD. That little LED blinked for years. I finally removed the battery after it wore out.
Went to the concert in Indianapolis where that dummy jumped off the balcony while they were playing Learning To Fly. Dude ran right past my uncle and I, stood up on the rail, and just dove right off in front of us. Put someone in hospital, but no one died.
