I don'have much to add about this amazing song since everything that needed to be said about it I did in the "Brain Damage/Eclipse - Version 1"
released in 1973, which is a far more poetic, mysterious, enigmatic and interesting music video than this one, which takes the same concept, some similar imagery but
updates to the 1990's context and it's a live performance from the "Pulse" tour.
The general idea between songs medley and videos revolve around amusing images of famous politial leaders which plays out a myriad of sensations, deeper meanings concerning about those lunatic on the grass. As said earlier, it's an updated from the 1970's figures so this time we have Reagan, Thatcher, Bush, Yeltsin and others all presented in some humorous and weird moments, as we have to consider the seriousness of their jobs and the stupidity of their minor moments whether eating stuff, tumbling, or in the hilarious case of Reagan, having buckets of popcorn thrown at his head (I've never seen that image before this video).
My other review had a more detailed view about those random images of political leaders make total sense if alligned with such great songs. The feeling is the same for this one but not exactly in the same quality since the original sound beats the live version, and there isn't much of a fresh and exciting experience to be seen, Pink Floyd just brought that 1970's concept to show to a live 1990's audience. It doesn't carry the same effect - unless you never seen the original video released around the release of "Dark Side of the Moon". It's cool, there's great archive images along with Gilmour, Mason and Wright performing the song in what would become one of their most successful tours of all. 8/10.
