Compared to other rock history DVDs, this one is pretty bad. There are no original interviews with band members; only weak snippets taken from old TV interviews. The music is not even being played by Pink Floyd, but by "clone" bands. Apparently the producers couldn't secure the rights to the music. I doubt they had the budget. The visuals are very poor, even laughable at times. A collage-style screen is displayed over and over again, probably taken from VH1 or something similar. In the middle window, blurry video snippets are shown. Two or three music critics or “producers” (whom I’ve never heard of) are seen speaking to the camera, sitting in front of studio equipment to give them an air of credibility, as they comment on the band’s music. Little new is revealed here that Pink Floyd fans won’t already know, although the musical interpretations of at least one of the critics are mildly interesting. Overall, look elsewhere for your Pink Floyd fix.

was excited to rent wish you were here and it had alot of interesting tibits on the band and syd barrett but i could do without the "soundalikes" tracks they used for some of the music. do not know why they used copykat bands because they used the real pink floyd music also. could of had a few more critics, djs, producers to interview.

Could have been better small sound bites from memebers of Floyd and the duration was from critics.
