    Soundgarden, early ninties, concert hall in Toronto.

    Riot in Toronto following the Rodney King verdicts heading down Young Street towards the concert hall (Thousands of people tearing up the street).

    At the concert hall about 1500 hundred people out front waiting to get in - they wouldn't open the doors.

    In between the riot and the Soundgarden show, many many police telling people at the concert hall to take cover and dispurse. No one was willing to give up there spot in line. Some how the police diverted the rioters before they hit the concert hall.
