back in the '70s, my brother and I went to see AC/DC (this was before a) I discovered the joys of prog, and b) before Bonn Scott kacked himself). They had this quasi-punk band that seemed to delight in repeatedly playing the same chord. Badly, out of time, and over-amplified to the point of pain. I don't think I've ever seen a site as emotion provoking as the site of 50,000 middle fingers extended at them like so many hitler salutes as they were leaving the stage. Bill Graham, the ever loved (heh) producer of concerts in the SF Bay Area at the time threatened to pull the plug on AC/DC if we didn't "behave ourselves". That mistake nearly got him killed in the almost riot that followed.

AC/DC eventually played, but the news the next day reported that there was nearly $250,000 in damage to the stadium, and that Bill Graham was being sent the bill.

Couldn't have happened to a nicer asshole.

After he got kacked in a helocopter crash, the quality and quantity of bands that hit the area skyrocketed for some reason. Shame he had to wait until after Led Zeppelin broke up to shuffle...
