I was at a bar in Louisville, one Friday night in 1973, listening to one of the top local rock and blues bands, Leslie's Motel. There were two bikers there with Outlaws insignia on their jackets, and they were becoming very drunk on beer and tequila. They were harrassing the band,and one finally threw a beer on the lead singer. At this point the bouncers booted them out.

I was not at the bar the next night when the two bikers returned with 9 of their friends armed with tire irons and chains. They posted guards at both front and back entrances, and proceeded to beat up the band, the bartenders, bouncers, waitresses, and most of the 20 to 30 customers in the bar. It was the Gig from Hell, for sure.
