This day in music history.

August 21, 1972, In Akron, Ohio A bomb scare is phoned in during a Jefferson Airplane concert. The show turns chaotic after police surround the building fans toss rocks at a squad car, police respond with tear gas. When Jack Cassidy (The bass player) objects from the stage he is arrested and taken to the basement. Grace Slick and Paul Katner go downstairs to get Cassidy released and end up in a scuffle with the cops, Grace Slick is maced in the face and Paul Katner has his head slammed to the floor.
DLAK note; lol.
