| Recorded at the Stade Du Parc Olympique, Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Fantastic audience recording. The final concert of their 1977 tour, this is when the (in)famous 'spitting incident' took place. From wikipedia (under 'Olympic Stadium (Montreal)'): ' In 1977, Pink Floyd wrapped their In The Flesh tour at this venue. That night they played, Roger Waters started to sing 'Pigs on the Wing 2' and an audience member set off a firecracker near to the stage. He stopped singing and shouted out, 'Oh, for fuck's sake. Stop letting off fireworks and shouting and screaming. I'm trying to sing a song.' The crowd cheered at this. 'I mean I don't care. If you don't wanna hear it, you know... Fuck you! I'm sure there's a lot of people here who do want to hear it. So why don't you just be quiet... If you wanna let your fireworks off, go outside and let them off out there. And if you wanna shout and scream and holler go and do it out there but... I'm trying to sing a song that some people want to listen to. I want to listen to it!' The show has been released as a bootleg titled, 'Who Was Trained Not To Spit on the Fan', which happens to be similar to lyrics from the song 'Dogs'. The actual lyrics are, 'Who Was Trained Not To Spit in the Fan.' He then continued with the song, but things went downhill from there, and during 'Pigs (Three Different Ones)', Waters watched incredulously as one fan climbed the netting that separated the audience from the band and in disgust, Waters spat in his admirer's face. Near the end of the show, Pink Floyd guitarist and singer David Gilmour was reported to have walked disgustedly off the stage, sitting out the final encore. Afterwards Waters regretted what he had done, and lamented the separation between the audience and band. It was this which caused Waters to come up with the idea of the critically acclaimed album The Wall. The band would not play here again until 1988 on their A Momentary Lapse of Reason tour and this time the performance went smoothly (they subsequently played here on their 1994 The Division Bell tour. ' Near the end of 'Pigs (Three Different Ones)', you'll hear Roger's 'Pig Rant': 'What. Hey Come back Pig Come back All is forgiven Come on boy *whistles* Come on son, just another hundred yards, yeahhhh *pig rant* oh yeah Carry on with your tongue. That's a good boy Come on son Good boy ...' After this, the spitting incident occurred.

I got this with a few other shows during the late 1990's from a major Floyd collector. He told me this was the third source for this show and the best sounding of all of them.
