"At last!" I rushed to open the UPS package with the familiar Amazon logo. "It's arrived!"

<p>
"What's arrived?" My 13-year-old daughter Emily showed some uncharacteristic curiosity.

</p><p>
"The new Pink Floyd two-DVD set, <i>P.U.L.S.E</i>, which I've had on order for what seems like forever. It contains four hours of music!"

</p><p>
"What's that, like <i>three</i> Pink Floyd songs?"

</p><p>
Emily is big into the Smiths, Green Day, and AFI. She doesn't yet understand why <i>P.U.L.S.E</i> is a contender for the best live music video <i>ever</i>. Or why the Floyd are the most important rock band <i>of all time</i>. Or how what was once called "psychedelic rock" fueled the growth of what is now called "high-end hi-fi," as we improved our systems to get more of what we <i>knew</i> had been placed in those grooves by a band that cared as much as we did about sound. Or how the arc of the band's career echoed our own growth as baby-boom music lovers. Or why this visual document of the Floyd (minus the long-departed Roger Waters), recorded live at one of their final Earls Court, London concerts in September 1994, at the end of what was to be their final tour, is <i>the</i> musical event of 2006. At least on DVD.
