(All three Paris concerts were for charity. Floyd gave all the money they had received from the GINI commercials, £50.000, to a local French charity organization. The Floyd were bothered by doing a venture with a corporate sponsor. After they saw the silly GINI drink ads that had them "Floating in the air", they all agreed to get out of this quickly. Donating the money paid to them to charity was done to save the face with the fans)

(150:00, with "Blues". The long "Animals" tour finally took its roll on Roger. He became irritated at fans who were lighting firecrackers during the quiet beginning of "Pigs on the Wing (Part 2)" and stopped the song to tell him to knock it off. Roger also spat on one of the fans up front, who was spraying him with a squirt gun.

After the tour ends, the group leaves to their respective tax exiles-Roger heads to Switzerland (Where he develops his idea for "The Wall"), Rick and Dave go to the Greek Islands, and Nick Mason to the south of France.
