At the very beginning of the song, somebody tripped over some cables and disconnected the bank of amps at stage left (right side if you're facing the stage).
We were standing about 50 feet from those speakers, and I had buzzing in my ears for a week. My hearing never fully recovered.
They pitched a s**t fit, sound was restored quickly and the show rocked on.
And now 45? years later, I'm trying to remember which venue and what year that was without checking my ticket sub. And I gave up, it was Lakeland Civic Center in Lakeland Fla., in 1978.

It's a fun hard rock tune.
Not a whole lot of those. Van Halen, being the obvious exception. They did it way more than anybody else.
