Bottle throwing was somewhat the norm in those days, although generally it was contained to within the crowd. I went to Donington Monsters Of Rock in 85 (or was it 86 I can't remember ... the year Bon Jovi were early on in the bill and Marillion and ZZ Top headlined) and fell asleep during Metallica thanks to a few beers and the hot sun, woke up to see I was laid out on a bank with about 100' diameter of clear space all around me and surrounded by what seemed like thousands of rock fans hurling bottles at each other!
