Pink Floyd

On July 6, 1977, Pink Floyd performed at the Olympic Stadium in Montréal, a pivotal moment during their "Animals" tour. This concert followed the release of their album "Animals," which came out in January of that year. "Animals" marked a significant shift in the band's sound, moving towards darker themes and political commentary, inspired by George Orwell's "Animal Farm." Notably, this era also saw the band experimenting with elaborate stage setups and visual effects, further solidifying their reputation for groundbreaking live performances. The Montréal concert reflects Pink Floyd's peak creativity and influence in the progressive rock genre, as they began to rely on a combination of music and theatricality that would characterize their later works, including "The Wall." This performance remains a testament to their innovative approach to concert experiences and the artistic heights they achieved during this period.
