On 1 July 1995 the video version of Pulse debuted at number one on the Billboard's Top Music Videos chart with 16,500 units sold. It was certified two times platinum by the RIAA on 31 July 1995 for shipments of one million units. It remained on the chart for twenty two weeks. The next week it fell off to number three on the chart.

In the United States, despite a price of $34.99 (which included flashing spine light and two AA batteries) Pulse debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 during the week of 24 June 1995 with 198,000 copies sold, it became the first multidisk album to top the Billboard 200 since the chart started using SoundScan data in May 1991. The album was mixed in QSound, which produces a 3D audio effect even on a two channel stereo system. However, the band and Guthrie fixed songs that had bad notes (as heard on some bootlegs) by lifting solos and corrected vocal lines from other performances as the band recorded most of the European leg. Unlike the previous live album Delicate Sound of Thunder, no parts of the songs were re-recorded in the studio. The track ' Another Brick in the Wall, Part II' features small portions of the songs 'Another Brick in the Wall, Part I', ' The Happiest Days of Our Lives' and 'Another Brick in the Wall, Part III'. It also features ' Astronomy Domine', a Syd Barrett song not performed since the early 1970s. The album is notable for including a complete live version of The Dark Side of the Moon.
