On Dec. 4, 1971, Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention were playing a gig at the Montreux Casino in Switzerland. When the band was nearly 90 minutes into their set, and playing “King Kong,” an audience member fired a flare gun up at the wooden roof of the venue, which caused it to go up in flames.

Frank Zappa was a real person, along with his band, The Mothers of Invention. Check them out. One of the most inventive bands of the seventies.

"Highway Star," "Space Truckin," and "Lazy" are three other great tracks from this album!

Le Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, and Deep Purple, the trinity of 70s heavy metal.

From Wiki:<br>On the eve of the recording session, a concert with Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention was held in the Montreux casino's theatre. This was the theatre's final concert before the casino complex closed down for its annual winter renovations, which would allow Deep Purple to record there. At the beginning of Don Preston's synthesiser solo on "King Kong", the place suddenly caught fire when somebody in the audience fired a flare gun towards the rattan-covered ceiling, as mentioned in the "some stupid with a flare gun" line.<br>Although there were no major injuries, the resulting fire destroyed the entire casino complex, along with all the Mothers' equipment. The "smoke on the water" that became the title of the song (credited to bassist Roger Glover, who related how the title occurred to him when he woke from a dream a few days later) referred to the smoke from the fire spreading over Lake Geneva from the burning casino as the members of Deep Purple watched from their hotel.
