Picture this: beer bottles and patio furniture thrown at police; people thrown through windows; vendor booths set on fire and destroyed: If you’re thinking “public disturbance” as in some kind of riot, you’d be right.

Nope, it’s not what one would expect as the after effect of one of our favorite and enduring band’s concert.
