Rock Spectacle is the first live album by Barenaked Ladies. It was the first major success for the band in the United States, selling over one million copies and producing a hit single in its version of "Brian Wilson." The album was recorded at two concerts at the Riviera Theatre in Chicago and at The Olympia in Montreal during the Born on a Pirate Ship tour.

Contents

A live version of "Shoe Box" was on promotional and advance copies of this record, but was left off at the last second. The recording would later be released on the "One Week" CD single. The album contains two bonus tracks. The first is a banter about an elderly woman Ed Robertson ran into in Chicago. Part of this story is referenced in "If I Had $1000000", which must have originally occurred after this banter at the Chicago concert. The second is an improvised song/rap about Robertson's Uncle Elwyn.

This disc is an enhanced CD, which means it will display special multimedia features when played on a computer. It includes a program called "BNLTV", a faux collection of various-themed TV programming.
