The band Deep Purple recorded a song "Smoke on the Water" which tells the tale of a performance of the Mothers of Invention being cut short due to a fire breaking out, with the lyric "some stupid with a Flare Gun, burned the place to the ground".

This recording is of that fateful show
at  Montreux, Switzerland in 1971.

Listen carefully at the end where Frank is
directing people out of the blazing concert hall.
