Pink Floyd will release a “restored and re-edited” edition of their Pulse concert film, which documented the band’s gargantuan Division Bell tour, next year. The film will be available on Blu-ray and DVD on Feb. 18.
The film documented the band’s Oct. 20, 1994 appearance at London’s Earl’s Court and features a full performance of The Dark Side of the Moon. The band’s core lineup for the concerts featured guitarist David Gilmour, keyboardist Richard Wright, and drummer Nick Mason.
The upgraded film previously featured in Pink Floyd’s The Later Years box set in 2019. For that release, Aubrey “Po” Powell of the design group Hipgnosis, which created the artwork for the group’s most iconic album sleeves, re-edited the original footage shot by director David Mallet. Powell, along with designer Rupert Truman (StormStudios) also contributed photos to the reissue’s artwork, which Hipgnosis’ Storm Thorgerson had originally created with Peter Curzon. The packaging replicates the blinking red light of the original 1995 release, which can now pulse forever with two AA batteries.
“Essentially, it’s a device which we thought was entertaining,” Mason said of the light in a statement. “It’s an idea of Storm Thorgerson’s which related to The Dark Side of the Moon and the pulse, and it’s a live album so the box is ‘alive.’ After that, in terms of seriously deep meanings, one might be struggling a bit.”
The two-disc, deluxe releases – available to preorder now – also feature music videos, concert screen films, documentaries, tour rehearsal footage, and more. They also contain a 60-page booklet.
In addition to the Pulse reissue, the band also appears to have released a dozen live recordings that had never been officially circulated on streaming services. They were all recorded between 1970 and 1972.

Just like he did on The Death of Slim Shady, Eminem is once again serving his STANS a wave of nostalgia with “Everybody’s Looking at Me.” The track is one of twelve featured on the official soundtrack that accompanies his documentary, which explores how his music has shaped and influenced his devoted fan base. Beyond that, it also reflects on the Detroit icon’s early breakthrough and rise to fame.
The film’s theatrical run may have wrapped up, but today Eminem officially released the soundtrack that goes along with it. The project is a blend of his classic hits alongside unreleased material. Familiar favorites like “Rap God” and “Just Don’t Give a F*ck” appear, while deeper unreleased cuts add something fresh for longtime listeners.
“Everybody’s Looking at Me” falls into the latter category. Rather than being a forgotten song left on the cutting room floor, Eminem built it from a freestyle with the same title that Funk Flex first premiered back in 2002. The original version featured Proof, though in this updated release, his part is absent, and Slim Shady comes through with two brand new verses.
The first verse remains intact from the freestyle, but what makes it even more interesting is the fact that a brief snippet of the track can be heard for just a moment on “The Kiss (Skit)” from The Eminem Show.
On “Everybody’s Looking at Me,” Eminem sounds like his old self at the top of his game. The song combines his signature dark comedy, sharp commentary on the music industry's flaws, and layers of clever wordplay.
To add to the nostalgia, the beat crafted by Dr. Dre instantly takes listeners back to the chemistry that has defined so much of their past work together. In the end, it is impressive to see Eminem rework this freestyle into a whole track that still feels high-quality and true to his legacy.

Quotable Lyrics:
Type who might throw his underwear in the trash and wipe his a*s with the American flag like Marilyn Manson (Ha-ha)
Updated Axl Rose
White vеrsion of Shaft, pimp slappin' h*es
Pull up like a Mac, jet black limos
Strеtch so far back, can't see the back windows
