Summary
In 1976, Spokane County commissioners shut down plans for three rock concerts at the Indians ballpark, citing fears of riots after a wild Idaho festival—and recalling a chaotic 1975 “beer bust” that neighbors hated. The team’s GM, William Cutler, fumed about lost revenue and booked acts like ZZ Top, threatening legal action. Meanwhile, in 1926, pilot Nick Mamer and two passengers survived a fiery crash with “three chances of death”—burning, crashing, or electrocution—walking away unscathed, their wreck featured front-page in the Spokane Chronicle.
