What's all the hassle man

1974 - Police were called to a Lynyrd Skynyrd and Blue Öyster Cult concert after a fight broke out between two sound engineers. The kerfuffle began when the Skynyrd tech claimed that the sound had been deliberately turned off during the band's set.

Also - 1988 - Neil Young played "Rockin' In the Free World" as the musical guest on Saturday Night Live. Young, who was 43 at the time, came onstage wearing a leather jacket, Elvis T-shirt and faded jeans stitched with Toronto Maple Leafs motifs; he was backed by Charlie Drayton on bass, Steve Jordan on drums, and longtime sideman Frank "Poncho" Sampedro on second guitar.
