Easter Eggs
There are at least three hidden videos (or "Easter Eggs") on Disc 2 of the DVD, they are as follows:
- An acoustic version of "Echoes" which plays after the "Dark Globe" track (it will show if you fast forward past "Dark Globe"). This only plays if "Dark Globe" is selected from the menu and will not play while using the "Play All" function.
- A short video of David Gilmour playing the cümbüş. To view this, watch the Main Menu of the DVD and wait about 25 seconds for a firework to appear; then use your DVD remote to quickly select the firework (using the enter button) and this will play the video.
- "On an Island" dance remix video is available on the "Royal Albert Hall" sub-menu of the DVD, which includes bonus tracks from the Albert Hall; again wait about 20 seconds for a firework to play, then select it with your DVD remote.
In addition to these, there are several small videos with further information and interviews in the documentaries which will play if you press the enter button while the "Wireman" is shown in the window.
