I was aware of the general problem with that gig but the article provided more details.
Thanks Ivan.

Stephen Kirby:
I had older friends who where there.  Two of them were linemen for the HS football team and were pretty much left alone as they tried to get away.  At the time they said that it was basically because a rival biker gang, the Roman Wheels, took the concentration of Hells Angels as an excuse to crash the party and get into it, and who cares about the hippies.  The Angels lost their minds and both gangs went after anyone in striking distance.
