Hard Rock in Hawaii: "Like an Army Zone"
Judith Sims, Rolling Stone, 10 October 1974
HONOLULU — BACKSTAGE violence erupted before an August 31st concert at Hawaii Raceway Park which starred War, Black Oak Arkansas, Billy Preston and Brownsville Station. Before any of the stars performed, two people were hospitalized with cuts and bruises, two others injured and at least one reportedly threatened with death. Black Oak didn't perform, and none of the groups was paid in full.
