Item Description
24x36". AOR 4.251. Thin stock original poster, made by the promoter Donald K Donald with their logo in lower field. DKD had a large marketing push to fill the huge Montreal- Olympic Stadium which included this graphic posters that helped lead to a sell out concert. Features text in English and French along w/an outstanding graphic of 'Aldie' the 40 foot inflatable pig floating above the stadium. This was the final night of the tour and the band played to a record crowd of over 80,000. Throughout the show a handful of raucous attendees near the stage were setting off fireworks and disrupting the band causing Roger Waters to address the crowd multiple times. Later in the evening during the song "Pigs (Three Different Ones)" an angry Waters spit on a teenage fan who attempted to climb on the stage. The incident would become the seed for the bands next album The Wall. Waters later recalled the incident saying "... I Spat My Frustration In His Face. Later That Night, Back At The Hotel, Shocked By My Behavior, I Was Faced With A Choice. To Deny My Addiction (To The Frills Of Our Popularity) And Embrace That Comfortably Numb Magic-Less Existence Or Accept The Burden Of Insight, Take The Road Less Traveled And Embark On The Often Painful Journey To Discover Who I Was And Where I Fit. The Wall Was The Picture I Drew For Myself To Help Me Make That Choice." Poster has trivial scattered edge wear and one tiny 1/8" horizontal tear. NM and would display Mint once matted and framed. An outstanding high grade example that is unlikely to be upgraded.
