On May 17, Black Flag was scheduled to play at HOLMS Hall in San Jose, with The Lewd, Los Olvidados, the Ghouls, and two new bands, A Happy Death and Onslaught as support. The show started about half an hour late, but moved along once started, with bands setting up quickly and playing short sets. After two hours, the security guards stated that the show was to be over at midnight, so, right at 12, just as Black Flag got onstage, the fuses were pulled out of the wall and everyone was told to leave. As people started to complain, the lights were turned off, which resulted in chairs being thrown through windows and general destruction. So the police were called but only one arrest was made.
