This will mark the exhibit&#8217;s first showing in Canada.<\/p>\n<p>Montreal plays a unique and somewhat notorious role in the history of Pink Floyd. The band first played Montreal in November 1971, at a sold-out show at the Centre Sportif de l&#8217;Universit\u00e9 de Montr\u00e9al. They returned to the city several times, performing at the Montreal Forum, the Autostade, and Olympic Stadium.<\/p>\n<p>At was at the Stadium, on July 6, 1977, the final show of Floyd&#8217;s &#8220;In the Flesh&#8221; tour, when <strong>Roger Waters<\/strong>, frustrated with an inattentive audience, spat at a fan from the stage. The experience served as an epiphany, as he realized a divide had grown between the band and its audience. That revelation helped inform his creation of &#8220;The Wall.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Base rates for tickets to the exhibit run from $28 to $45 CA, are good for specific times of entry, and can be <a href=\"https:\/\/arsenalcontemporarysale.ticketpro.ca\/en\/pages\/arsenal_art_contemporain_pink_floyd\">purchased online<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Curators estimate a walk through the exhibit will take 60-90 minutes. But you and I both know we&#8217;ll be there all day.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/pinkfloydexhibition.com\/\">Learn more at the exhibit&#8217;s website<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;The Pink Floyd Exhibition: Their Mortal Remains&#8221; will open in Montreal, Quebec, on Friday, Nov. 4, for an 8-week run at Arsenal Contemporary Art.
