Pink Floyd Us and Them Montreal 1977

[keikoasmom]

No wonder they built the "wall" between them and the audience, when they had to deal with such stupidity.

[philster611]

Is this the concert where Roger Waters famously spits at the audience and then goes on to write The Wall as a consequence?

[sylvaindemers]

they're saying "assis" which means "sit down" to the people in front of the stage.

[minouneetzoe]

Im from montreal and this crown have been a shame for us...

[discokidx1]

i can't stand all the audio interference....fuck it, i will look for studio versions of this material

[santiagodebellavista]

i wouldn't dare to get drunk at a Pink Floyd concert (a fucking Pink Floyd concert), but if you do, just sing the songs, but this is just disrespectful, i guess tickets were real cheap at the time

[InCtKen]

Thanks for that uhOoo...I've always felt that way - but thought it was just me. I love Pink Floyd's music in part because Roger Waters' writing was so dark...and that's what the view looks like from my cheap seat...I can identify. But there's a fine line between genius and mental case!

[olipaquet]

j'ai tellement honte de venir de Montréal quand j'écoute ca

I'm so ashamed to be from Montreal when I listen to this

[Maximumpmf]

"Ajuster les contrôles pour le centre du soleil": priceless!

[brianmann01]

I was there mid field. It was mostly the people in the front that were total assholes as I remember. They had a hard time to hear the monitors. There were so many people at this show and there WAS LOTS AND LOTS OF ACID BEING DROPPED AND ACID AND BEER DON'T MIX.

[MrSluggo666]

Bad singing ! is this where waters spit on the fan?

[MrJacMac1986]

why spend your hard earned dough to go to a concert and not listen?Oh well.Roger Dave Rick and Nick got your money whether you listened or not

[charadeyouareha]

Does anyone know what time the show actually ended ?

[charadeyouareha]

THREE Encores!

[cpolcwiartek]

im not saying that their not real fans sorry

[cpolcwiartek]

learn to enjoy the song pricks. meaning the fans and no im not saying their real fans but thats a quiet song obviously

[Ch0ppaz]

For fucks sake i wanna hear the song.

[freddiebarry93]

this is why marijuana is better than alcohol. not saying i wouldn't drink a little at a concert but weed is so much more chill and when your wasted you can't control yourself. i feel a little sorry for roger "this song's a little quiet, so lets keep quiet". hes saying that to a bunch of drunks. haha they aren't going to shut up at all

[MrJacMac1986]

@freddiebarry93 I know it sucks that alcohol is legal but pot isnt.

[seamus1967]

So sad and chilling to hear Roger saying "I wish I didn't" echoing off at the end.

[uh0oo]

Sounds like these "fans" should have been at a Ozzy, or skynard concert. They dont have the philisophical minds to enjoy Pink floyd. Pink Floyd is thinking mans music not for these drunk ass rednecks.

[Guitarist2095]

@uh0oo if they like the music they're fans... its not like a certain group of people isnt aloud to like them.

[meatpole55]

@Guitarist2095 then why the hell show up at their concert if you dont like them..

[Guitarist2095]

@meatpole55 i never said anything about going to there concert if you dont like them. i was saying that just because people are brainless or whatever doesnt mean that they cant like pink floyd

[meatpole55]

@Guitarist2095 ..my apologies...

[Guitarist2095]

@meatpole55 its alright : ]

[mellitrom629]

@uh0oo It's an encore to a rock show. They should know it's gonna be loud. I'm sure no matter where you live, people at a rock concert are going to be loud. In your comment you're making it sound like the people cheering for a band aren't true fans. You just sound like an asshole.

[TheIntrinsic]

@uh0oo Canadian rednecks?

[charadeyouareha]

@uh0oo "rednecks" aren't the only people who get drunk and try to disrupt a wonderful experience. I know what you mean though. . those aren't fans.

[catriona1967]

@uh0oo Pink Floyd are revered as Gods in Montreal. It was the 70's and the drugs and booze were great. The Stad is a shit place to see a concert and I've seen my share there. By the time I saw Floyd there in 94 (seen them 6 times) the sound had improved a lot. Montrealers are a rowdy bunch who enjoy life and partying, they are not "rednecks" only an uncultured moron would claim that. If you don't know anything about the city refrain from comment.

[MrScarleteagle]

At 6 PM, 30 000 people were inside already but the band was obviously not going to play until 8 PM came around. Now you have 30 000 people, anxiously waiting what has been advertised as the show of their lives, and they've got 2 hours in front of them of "doing nothing". What do they do?

In the end, how can you expect from a full stadium all of them going to listen in silence to your songs?

[snowbound72]

Fucking French Canadians. What do you expect?.... fucking animals... all of them.

[dandesgreniers]

@snowbound72 ??? Im french Canadian :)) and one thing i know is you are one track mind ... zzzz zzzz sleep tight !

[dandesgreniers]

@snowbound72 ??? Im french Canadian :)) and one thing i know is you are one track mind ... zzzz zzzz sleep tight !

[ckolonko]

You can hear david gilmour is not very happy in this song.

[mdavis434]

i was there.. tooo stoned to notice spitttt

[FrokenKeke]

Are they yelling "Taxi!", or what?

[deeperunderground09]

@FrokenKeke I think tey're yelling "hashish"

[Fretlessjay]

@deeperunderground09 theyre yelling sit down in french

[deeperunderground09]

@Fretlessjay ok thank you =)

[therockmag]

@deeperunderground09 they say "assis"in english sit down

[deeperunderground09]

@therockmag got it thank you

[RyanWehr]

This is the show where roger lost it. the famous  " I spat at a fan in the front row "

[junnybungle]

@RyanWehr, No, Roger spat in "Pigs (3 different ones).

[itsalolmor]

What a bunch of brainless animals is this crowd...

[mellitrom629]

@itsalolmor Oh, and I bet you're above those people. You can look down on everyone because you're so great.

[itsalolmor]

@mellitrom629 Yeah, kinda...

[mellitrom629]

@itsalolmor You sound like a major asshole.

[itsalolmor]

@mellitrom629 I can't sound like anything if I'm writing, but I guess you're right.

[WennyMice]

@itsalolmor the sound was really really bad. just to tell you

[neverdoneitonce]

@itsalolmor

Fans kept yelling "assis" ("sit" in French) to the ones in front 'cause they couldn't see the stage. Anyways, that wasn't the only problem with that show: the sound was really bad at times and depending on where you were sitting, it was worse. It was the first rock show in the stadium after the '76 Olympics and sound engineers couldn't figure out the stadium. Emerson, Lake & Palmer had more success a month later because they had come to practice in the stadium the winter before.

[budmaster666]

I would love to hear this entire show just to see how it progressed. Everyone knows about Pigs on the Wing part 2 and Pigs (3DO). Pinkpigsheep1977 has done an excellent job posting some of the other songs from this set like Shine On part 2 and the encores. Thanks for another gem.

[pinkpigsheep1977]

thanks

[TEMPmichaelhansen]

@budmaster666

there are 2 different sources of the shpw

both from the crowd

[skysout]

@budmaster666 I'm not sure if you ever got an answer to your [implied] request to hear this entire show, but for what it's worth, you can here a podcast of the entire show here: braindamage.libsyn.com/_oink_o­ink_roof_roof_baa_

[TEMPmichaelhansen]

@budmaster666 i have heard it it is so awesome

david gilmore laughs during shine on

[pfitgboat]

hahahah, the beginning is amazing
