Pink Floyd Live – 1977

IN THE FLESH As his frustration with the audience grew, Roger 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. During the performance of one of the songs, Roger Waters halts the performance to yell this at the rather rowdy crowd: “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 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. ” The Montreal show, July 6, 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.
