Really?

Even to a determined completist?  :scratchch:

BBC Television recently screened extracts from the video discs. Some embarrassing stuff, I can tell you.

The fan part of me is glad that I have seen the filmed performances from the vaults. (This saves wasting time, wondering what I might have missed.) I feel no pressing desire to view much of the material a second time, let alone pay for the privilege.

What say you, good people?
Is this Syd Barret era ? Or early Gilmour as well.
I'll look for it on Craigslist.  Its getting close to Christmas, ya know. :monkey:
In a word, "no."

A comprehensive rummage through numerous vaults has yielded;
pre-TPFS blues and cover version line-ups
the Syd era (Abdabs, Tea Set et al.)
Gilmour era 
some Syd solo rarities

I have not checked whether the box includes any transitional quintet era material, Waters/Geesin collaborations or Gilmour pre-Floyd bands such as Joker's Wild.
Sounds like an overpriced " box of crap " ...

Some of the content looks to be textbook bootleg fodder.

Several species of small furry accountants, gathering together in a bank and grooving with the proceeds.

Welcome, my son. Welcome to the machine.

This is coming from a huge Pink Floyd fan 
I love that gif, yet the context is even funnier.
