Roger Waters loses his temper with a rowdy crowd ("Oh for fuck's sake...")

The Montreal show, 06 July 1977, the final performance of the [In the Flesh] tour, ended with Pink Floyd performing a blues jam as the roadies dismantled the instruments in front of the insatiable audience who refused to let the band leave the stadium. A small riot at the front of the stage followed the band's eventual exit. That night, Waters spat in the face of a disruptive fan; The Wall grew out of Waters' thoughts about this incident, particularly his growing awareness that stardom had alienated him from his audience. Three unofficial audience recordings are known to exist (one aptly named Who Was Trained Not To Spit On The Fan?, a pun referencing a lyric in the song Dogs, played that night, and the spitting incident); during "Pigs on the Wing (pt. 2)" Roger halts the performance to yell this at the rather rowdy crowd:[8]
Oh... for fuck's sakes, 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 want to hear it, you know... fuck you, I'm sure there are a lot of people here who do want to hear it. Why don't you just be quiet? You want to let your fireworks off go outside and let them off out there. And if you want to shout and scream and holler go do it out there, but I'm trying to sing a song that some people want to listen to it. I want to listen to it.

Go Roger!!

[Superwolf1337]

@MoshTheBull David Gilmour would be on his ass without Roger. All of the former band members are talented, but Roger had to carry them the whole way.

Caught red handed, caught red handed with fireworks and shouting... this will not do!

[MoshTheBull]

Fuck Roger Waters ... his attitude suck. David gilmour all the way !!

[GaryAllen10]

Well first off i don't agree with what Roger did whatsoever but the major difference between now and then is that it seems like people who act or promote this kind of behavior(Jackass,Lady Gaga,Kardashians,Reality Shows)are not only getting more acceptance but are also aplauded,respected and celebrated in a very big way nowadays.

Imagine if he or anyone else thats hugely popular in the entertainment world did that today?.

This embarasses me as a Canadian.....Would you do this before pavarotti was to perform? A Pink Floyd concert isn't some place to be wasted partying. Its a mind blowing experience that should have your complete attention. Quebec acting silly again

[darthsadic]

this is the way Jerry Cantrell should have treated this audience
