<<the rowdiest rock crowd i've ever had the (mis)fortune <G> to experience
was not at a concert---it was at a midnight showing of TSRTS. it was
quite an evening, let me tell ya!!!! >>
I remember when I went to a showing of '"The Song Remains The Same" movie
back in the late '70's. While it didn't get as crazy as the scene you
described, I do remember that the thater management made us wait in line in
the lobby until about 5 minutes before the movie start time. Everyone was
complaining and commenting within earshot of management on what a bunch of
crap that was and in retaliation to our complaints, when the movie came on
the volume was literally turned down to where you could barely hear it.
After repeated hollering towards the projector room to turn it up, it became
evident that our request was not going to be granted. The audience responded
by tearing the room to bits. I have a very vivid memory of these huge wall (&
ceiling?) tiles being thrown around the theater and broken into pieces. The
movie was shut down, the lights came on and we all left before the cops could
get there.
