I was there. What happened was truly disappointing, and scary. Our friend lost her dog there and we were looking for him for at least an hour after the concert shut down. There were burning piles of trash and the smoke hung in the air due to a low inversion layer. We never did find her dog. Yes, it was the end of an era.
@gregholmes1289 Thanks for sharing. Did you think that concert was going to be perceived as the end of an era? Did you witness any of the Hell's Angeles, mayhem?
Drugs and large crowds of people isn't a good mix, especially with a band like the Stones doing a free concert where they be like 10 times the people the Angels did security for at previous concerts.
You're absolutely right-drugs and massive crowds can be a dangerous mix, especially in such a high-energy setting. The Rolling Stones’ free concert definitely posed unique challenges, with a much larger crowd than the Angels had managed before. It’s a powerful reminder of how important proper planning and crowd management are for events of that scale. What’s your take on what could’ve been done differently to prevent the chaos?
