    Filmed by Daniel Graham
    Here is the infamous second film source of Montréal 1977 that appeared online a few months ago, synced up to a multi-recording matrix done by Davide Capolongo, as well as a colour correction. This is the legendary concert where Waters was so fed up with the rowdy American crowds that he ended up spitting in the face of a fan who was climbing up the front of the stage.
    Waters claims in interviews that this moment was during a "quiet bit". Chris Cockram - a roadie for the 1977 tour, working around the stage - claims that the spit did indeed happen during 'Money', and that the famous Wray Ellis account - who was not even near the stage after Animals - is simply untrue. The shot of Waters whistling at 4:13 clearly shows him facing upward. Judging by his upward stance and very pig-based dialog (a la, 1980-81), it is more than safe to assume - if not confirm - that the spit did NOT happen during Pigs, and that he was simply yelling at the inflatable. The clip of Waters at 14:08 during 'Money' shows him yelling angrily at somebody in the crowd, and giving them the middle finger. At 14:16, during the "quiet bit" to 'Money', Waters is seen lunging forward, in a spitting motion. This is very likely to be the historical moment captured on film. This will teach you; don't believe everything you see on the internet, unless there is footage of it.

    If someone said to me 5 years ago the spit was filmed, I would have laughed. If someone said it was during Money of all songs, I would have laughed harder. But here it is, in all of its glory. No words can describe how important this 8mm is to Pink Floyd's history, it's simply breathtaking.

    • @ThePFRG

      @ElectricDogma Because he was yelling at the pig inflatable, which was deep in the crowd toward that part in Pigs. The pig was coming back to the stage by the time of him yelling. He literally says "come back pig". And don't tell me he says kid, there is no "kuh" sound anywhere in that last word. The shot of him whistling also shows him looking up, not down. The stage was high up. Sorry man but Wray's story is bullshit. Even SOMEONE THAT WAS WORKING on the 77 tour, WHO WAS THERE, said that Wray's lying through his teeth.

    I was there. As much as I love Pink Floyd (the music closest to my heart) and Montreal (born and raised there), there was something deeply wrong with the crowd that day. People around me and all over seemed to be more into their drugs, firecrackers and attention-seeking hysteria than into the music. Felt kinda sad by the end actually, the band apparently having given up. The last blues number was sweet and melancholy though. Weird times.

    • @AY-uf4oz
      @AY-uf4oz 10 місяців тому +11

      Same with me. I was there, love Pink Floyd, and still live in Montreal. I think part of the problem was the venue- The Big O was not designed for concerts, a concrete bowl with poor sound, and this was the first big show there since the Olympics. My seats were bad, I was expecting more songs from Dark Side (they only did Money and Us and Them as encores), and I had no idea of the infamous spitting incident until many years later. But seeing as The Wall is my favorite album of all time, I'm glad I have a small connection to it.

      I was there with two of my friends, in section 231, just under the VIP boxes.
      One of the reasons why the crowd was so loud, was that local radio stations were promoting this concert as an event not to be missed.
      This obviously attracted a crowd of curious people, who did not really know Pink Floyd and their music.
      Add to this the abuse of drugs and alcohol, and you have a crowd that no longer knows how to hold back.

    I remember climbing onto a Greyhound Bus and heading to Montreal for this concert in the summer of 77. I can't say I remember the spitting thing very clearly, but do remember some shouting from Rodger Waters and some commotion, but didn't see any spit. I only learned about the saliva shower this year lol. I think there was some Tai Stick going around that evening. Might have had something to do with the lack of clarity. Really cool to see this again.

    I'll never forget seeing this concert live in Phoenix Arizona in 1977. They played it at the madhouse on McDowell where the Phoenix Suns used to play. The atmosphere was so intense with the music and the lights and the movies going on and the surround sound that I saw at least a dozen people have to be hauled out because they had taken something to enhance their experience!! For them I think that was a mistake and I stayed sober going into the concert because I wanted to remember it! When my girlfriend and I who later became my wife left that concert we didn't say a word all the way home cuz we were still in shock!!!! Still to this day nobody comes close to a Pink Floyd concert!! Seen them four times in three different decades and I've seen about 100 concerts with every major group you can think of and none of them rivaled A Pink Floyd concert!! Only Led Zeppelin AC DC and Metallica came close!!!
    Still holding out a very slim hope that Floyd had this filmed and there's a professional copy of that concert in 1977!! It was beyond mind boggling!!!

      I'm curious, because Phoenix has no audio and very very little photographs; do you have any recollections of Echoes being played after the Dark Side encore? There are some stories that they played this in either Phoenix or Portland. Echoes was planned for Oakland when the band got an extra 20 minutes by the stadium but the tapes for the outro were not working. They did Careful With That Axe instead. Let me know!

By this time there was so much pot smoke in the air but I think they played Time between the two but they did not play Echoes. I really wish they had!! Again I think Time was in between us and them and money but like I said there was so much pot smoke in the air I think I was pretty high by the end of the concert LOL!!

    Wow this brings flashbacks. The inflatables and animations, in person, were mesmerizing at the time; a shame the tech of the day was in no way up to the task of gathering and saving it, at least in a way that reveals what it was like. Everything was novel and overpowering to mid-1970s crowds.
    As far as filming goes, as a 17-yr-old super-8 film hobbyist myself back then, I hadn’t the balls or the funds to sneak my camera in to the Philly Spectrum shows (BOTH of them!). Hats off to this filmer. He burned through today’s equivalent of $250 - in film cartridges and processing - to capture this precious 16 mins of snippets.

When the spit happened, Wray was a good hundred meters from the stage, he saw nothing.

      Sadly, the film quality (as in how it was shot) is pretty bad
      Constant focus problems and he only moved to the front row after Animals. The Animals footage is quite terrible, except for the ending to Sheep and the Pig exploding.

    To Pink Floyd fans, _The Spitting Incident_ captured on film is more important than the Zapruder film is to conspiracy nuts. Seriously though, I don't think the surviving members of Pink Floyd will ever truly understand how important it is for us fans to be as close to the history as possible, and I am deeply grateful to PFRG, R&D, and all the Master Archivists involved in these historic projects. Looking forward to future Floyd research. Vintage Floyd is an international treasure.

    Stellar work here, gentlemen! This can only be described as nothing less than an immense labor of love, and you have my sincere gratitude. Brilliant synching and color corrections with what was originally just a silent hodgepodge of aging tape.
    I do have one question for the experts : Given the film limitations at the time (3.5 minute cartridges), these clips all seem to be mere seconds in length. None seem to be even a minute and certainly not the maximum length possible. Which, btw, makes this project even more impressive. I can't imagine our hero, who had the foresight to smuggle in and risk losing his gear, changed cartridges every so often, and not use the full length available. We're these snippets of longer segments? Is there a possibility that even more of this historical footage is waiting somewhere to be liberated to see the light of day?
    P.S. Absolutely love what you have given us! Thank you!!!

    • @ThePFRG
      @ThePFRG  10 місяців тому +5

      Thank you for the kind words.
      No, this is all that was filmed. The cartridges were 3½m in length, but it was rare that people actually held the button down for that long. Most people would typically get 10-20 second shots at once but some people (like Graham here) unfortunately don't know how to film anything properly. I'm grateful this exists but if it didn't have the spit, this would be another useless film.

    • @davebowers8631
      @davebowers8631 10 місяців тому +4

      @ThePFRG Ah yes, the ol 'had to hold the button' conundrum. It all makes perfect sense. Expressed in.. oops where was I.
      I very much doubt Graham had any notion at the time of his recording's future significance and scarcity.
      Somewhere, in an alternate universe, there is a full concert, multi angle, 8k master recording of an Animals tour. But the rub is everyone is REALLY gay. So that civilization is, sadly, doomed.
      Long live Floyd!!!

    David Gilmour told Redbeard "He didn't see Roger spitting or knowing about it but remembered Montreal as a bad show and the band played pretty badly and said it was a poor note to finish a tour on". David's guitar had issues on Shine On Parts 1-5 as the distortion wasn't working on Part 3 so he punched the Electric Mistress Flanger and a backup pedal to have that grungy solo. The lap steel solo was not great due to the quad system. A few nights earlier in Boston, he played great and had some fun changing the notes not going into high B Flat apart from the first part of the third run through of the lap slide solo and instead of going high B Flat/A/G/F/D/C/B Flat/A he went from B Flat an Octave Lower to C to D to E to F Sharp and remaining there and sliding the bar and the solos were phenomenal that night. Someone had audio of the road crew hassling one recorded hence we go to another source. If they had finished in Boston the tour would have ended on a high note and Roger was happy in Boston. Philadelphia was where it went wrong.

      Wow, it's fascinating that Gilmour thought it was a bad show. When in reality it was the best show of the entire tour. And maybe that's just me, but every time I listen to a 1977 tour bootleg, I always go with Montreal. The "Roar Ends" version in particular is the best sounding to me. It isn't the best recording of the tour. I think Oakland is. Though I do think it is the best performance and the most enjoyable to listen to for me.
      With Gilmour being the perfectionist that he is, I can see it being a bad show to him, but they played harder that night and dragged out those chords a bit longer than the other shows.

    I was there as well, previously seen them in Hamilton Ontario which was probably the best time to have seen them. They had the quadraphonic set up that night and it sounded great, stadium was the perfect size. The concert in Montreal was done in the Olympic stadium which was massive thus the sound was off due to time delay which effected the outcome of the music overall, which caused the concert goers to be not properly conected to the music which in turn mafe for a somewhat of a bad vibe throughout.

    I was there with two of my friends, in section 231, just under the VIP boxes. From my seat, I did not notice the spitting event.
    One of the reasons why the crowd was so loud was that local radio stations were promoting this concert as an event not to be missed.
    This obviously attracted a crowd of curious people, who did not really know Pink Floyd and their music.
    Add to this the abuse of drugs and alcohol, and you have a crowd that no longer knows how to hold back.

    A late friend and I took a "magic bus" ride from Plattsburg NY to Montreal to see this show. The bus was a glorified keg and smoke party, enhanced by other psychotropic materials. Something I remember is that some of the film that was shown in the backdrop, like the marching hammers, appeared later in the move called The Wall. Wow.
