This day in music history.

May 10, 1968, Jim Morrison and The Doors incite an audience riot during a Chicago concert. Jim escapes through the backstage door, leaving the crowd to battle with police. There were many arrests and injuries on both sides. Jim later said "I need a fucking drink."
Five to one by The Doors
Yeah, c'mon, Love my girl
She lookin' good, C'mon, One more
Five to one, baby
One in five
No one here gets out alive, now
You get yours, baby
I'll get mine
Gonna make it, baby
If we try
The old get old
And the young get stronger
May take a week
And it may take longer
They got the guns
But we got the numbers
Gonna win, yeah
We're takin' over
Come on!

Yeah!
Your ballroom days are over, baby
Night is drawing near
Shadows of the evening crawl across the years
Ya walk across the floor with a flower in your hand
Trying to tell me no one understands
Trade in your hours for a handful of dimes
Gonna' make it, baby, in our prime
Come together one more time...
