'''''Rock Spectacle''''' is the first [[live album]] by [[Barenaked Ladies]]. It was also the first major success for the band in the United States, selling over one million copies and producing a hit single in the country in its version of "[[Brian Wilson (song)|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''.

A live version of "[[Shoe Box]]" was on promotional and advance copies of this record, but was ultimately deleted. The recording would eventually be released on the "[[One Week (song)|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. The story is later referenced in "If I Had $1000000". The second is improvised banter 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.
