He Who Walks Behind the Rows
A BWHI Legitimate Records Group Production
BWHI-LRG-DVD-10
Recorded at the University of Northern Iowa Dome
Cedar Falls, Iowa
May 18, 1988

For a review of the show itself, readers are advised to check out ash's review of the VHS 'Cedar Falls, Iowa 5/18/88'...the only notable change to the content itself is the correction of the bizzarre "negative-vision" that plagues the beginning of the VHS version. It should also be noted that I have a slightly higher opinion of the video quality than ash`, hence the slight jump in Picture Quality rating.

Now that the main event itself is properly deferred, onto the extras....remember that interminable, endless 1993 interview Nick Mason endured from Pip Dann (who still manages to be less annoying than her MTV counterparts across the pond here) in 'The Dark Side' ? Well, that's one of the extras that awaits you.

The 'Wired' documentary is a 15-minute short mostly about the 1988 Palace of Versailles concert, and features the same old tired babble about the Floyd breakup. We get the requisite 'Look the Week' snippets and another look at the guy in the groovin' glasses and suit jerking arrythmically to "Interstellar Overdrive." Scott Page puts in a brief, goony appearance, Gilmour gives an interview in which he looks nearly bored to tears, and a concertgoer who looks remarkably like Santa Claus is briefly interviewed. With the exception of some live snippets of 'Yet Another Movie' and 'Learning to Fly', nothing new here...move along.

The final bonus feature on the disc is a segment from VH1's 'I Love 1973' concerning 'Dark Side of the Moon' (surprise surprise). For those who are not familiar with the concept, VH1's 'I Love the <decade> : I Love <year>' series dredges up all manner of pop culture detritus from the year specified, and has smarmy Gen-Xers and C-list celebrities like Hal Sparks on hand to be sarcastic about it all. This time around, we get a smattering of the standard recycled Pompeii clips, bits of backdrop films, and people like Poison frontman Bret Michaels calling DSotM "the greatest album ever made." Run (of Run DMC fame) declares it an "epic adventure", Michaels yaps about headphones, and future Hollywood Squares panelist Donal Logue opines that modern-day kids don't know what it's like "growing up in a small town, smoking pot and crying to yourself." Def Leppard frontman Joe Elliott (who curiously comes across as the most dignified of the bunch) gets the best zinger of the clip, riffing off an infamous line from Pompeii : "Mister Gilmour, I do apologize if you weren't stoned when you made it, but it certainly sounds like you were."

In all, recommended.
