I actually knew a guy that stabbed another one 22 or 23 times at the concert in Legend Valley decades ago, I haven't seen him since, I think he's been in prison all this time for murder.
I didn't really know him very well anyway, just knew him from school.

It's amazing sometimes when you realize how dangerous it was at concerts back in the day. Especially when considering all the different drugs and alcohol involved.
I saw Motorhead at Fenders Ballroom and saw a guy shatter both of his legs diving off a wall of speakers down onto the cement.I saw the same stunt at RKL literally a month after that happened. Not only was it dangerous due to weapons, the crazed mentality of the fan bases was so rabid that people were injuring themselves. Shows sure have changed a lot.
