Naked Beggars / L.A. Guns / Dokken

Huk Sep 15, 2023

I went by myself to this show. To note:

This is the show where I saw the drum tech hit one of the other techs in the head with a cymbal arm. He ran out of Croc Rock and some of the band and techs went after him. The story from mcall.com follows:

A drum and lighting technician for the band Dokken was knocked unconscious Friday during a confrontation with another tour member inside an Allentown club after a concert, city police said.

Ray E. Aparicio, 40, of Sacramento, Calif., who police said works with the band, picked up a metal drum stand and hit Randell Gillespie in the head during an argument shortly after 1 a.m. at Crocodile Rock Cafe, 520 Hamilton St., police said.

Gillespie, 39, of 559 W. Court St., Bensalem, Bucks County, was taken to Lehigh Valley Hospital in Salisbury Township for a large gash on his forehead, police said.

A hospital spokeswoman said she had no information about Gillespie’s condition Friday.

Aparicio spent hours in the city jail before being arraigned by Lehigh County District Justice Karen Devine on charges of simple assault and harassment. He was released on $10,000 unsecured bail.
