Pink Floyd
Olympic Stadium, Montreal, Canada
6th July 1977

This is an excellent Audience Recording, of the famous Montreal Concert where Roger lost his cool and spat at one of the fans in the audience. This was one of those rare occasions when they would play a third encore, however Gilmour didn't return to the stage for this final encore, and the lead guitar work was performed by Snowy White. The roadies started packing up the equipment during this third encore, leaving just Roger and Nick playing the last few notes.

At the beginning of Pigs On The Wing Pt 2, Roger gets very upset about people shouting and letting fireworks off, she stops playing and shouts his anger at the audience, "Oh, for fucks sake, stop letting off fireworks, and shouting and screaming, I'm trying to sing a song! I mean I don't care, if you don't wanna hear it, you know, fuck it, I'm sure that there's a lot of people here who do want to hear it. So why don't you just be quiet, if you want to let your fireworks off, go outside and let them off out there and if you want to shout and scream and hallow, 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".

This concert also features possibly the longest version of Shine On parts 6-9 lasting 23.28mins the improvisation played is nothing short of awesome, and also the third encore must be the longest blues improvisation they have ever played.
