"Oh, for f*ck's sake!" - 34 years ago today
34 years ago today Pink Floyd took the stage in the Olympic Theater to play a show that would drastically impact the Floyd's future works (attributing greatly to their later success):

"In the Flesh concert #61, at Montreal's Olympic Stadium, 6. July 1977, during which the famous spitting incident occurred. This was the concert that broke the camel's back with obnoxious, large stadium crowds which intern inspired Roger's idea for building The Wall.

This was the last show of the tour and the last time Animals would be performed live by the Floyd. It was also the last time Roger would perform Wish You Were Here and Money with Pink Floyd until 28 years later for the famous Live8 reunion."

As of this writing it's about 5:00 PM in Montreal, Canada. The flyers read "6-8 P.M.". Better get a move on, then....you don't want to be late ;)

I have the bootleg for this show. The only reason to really want the bootleg is for the historical aspect of the show; the performance itself outside of Roger's meltdown is rather nondescript. They had done better shows on that tour.
