poster and ticket of the event, taken from the net (click on the poster to enlarge it)

This is the gig known to be the one that determined the end and the beginning of the Pink Floyd history someway.

To read about it and see some nice pictures of the event have a look at the brain-damage website page: Pink Floyd - Olympic Stadium, Montreal, Canada, July 6th 1977 and at the A Fleeting Glimpse website page: Montreal July 6th 1977.

About the rants of Roger Waters during this gig have a look here

about the recordings: 3 different recordings are in general circulation, one of them being a bit more rare to find on tape, but surfaced lately on cd from an unknown generation tape.

recorder 1: complete, this was the most known one as it was a part of the famous bootleg "Azimuth Coordinator" (Comfortably Cool Productions Hand-numbered edition 57/1000). Other Roios have been circulating with the same title, the Last Performance Of The Animals Tour (MoLM) is a revised version of the original one and Azimuth (unknown label) is a different version supposedly from different source; another known version is "Fire Works Show In The Canadian Walls", direct transfers from tapes are around too, I had a check to a 3rdGeneration copy of the master and I did transfer myself an amazing 2ndGeneration copy; a transfer  from unknownGen has been put in circulation recently too having a longer intro to Sheep.

recorder 2: complete, the most known CD is the HRV one called "Who Was Trained To Spit On The Fan" that is sourced from some CDs labeled master; both of them are a processed version of this other transfer from the MASTER (uncut)

recorder 3: complete, known to sound tremendous , it is in circulation from an edited unknownGen only, this recorder isn't any good but better sounding and complete versions should exist.

to recognize the 3 recorders in circulation is very easy just by the very beginning of Sheep. On the very first keyboard notes.

on recorder 1 there's a guy near to the taper whistling loud

on recorder 2 there's a guy near the to taper yelling loud "Woooh-wooh"; there's a guy yelling "Roger Waters!" during the 'pigs' at the beginning of Pigs (3DO); the taper says "AMAZING" on the mic. before SOYCD (I-V) starts; before Waters announces Blues there's a guy telling another guy "I live in Toronto".

on recorder 3 there's a voice of a guy chatting behind the taper; before POTW1 someone near to the recorder says "you'd better watch out"
