Dallas (AP) - Two gangs wielding guns, knives, sticks, chains and matrial arts devices robbed at least 10 people during and after a concert by the Beastie Boys at Fair Park Coliseum, police say. The robberies were reported Saturday night, according to robbery investigator K.C. Edmonds. He said four people, including two juveniles, were arrested in an attack on two concertgoers.
Greg Roplfe and Trace Bell, both 18 of Dallas, told police they gave up trying to buy tickets for the concert and were walking near the Cotton Bowl when they were attacked by a gang of four youths.
In another incident, four Arlington high school students were attacked by a gang of about 10 youths who threatened them with knives.

The State Fair Coliseum became a “raphouse,” last Saturday, as the Beastie Boys kicked in its “Licensed to Ill” tour. Described by some critics as young, loud and snotty, these baseball capped B-Boys have succeeded in reaching No. 2 on Billboard magazine’s top pop album list as well as grinding out some platinum for themselves.
The Beastie Boys, made up of rappers Mike D, MCA and King Ad-Rock, have attained popularity through its rap/metal cut “(You Gotta) Fight for your right (to party)” as well as from its latest single “Brass Monkey.” Opening for the Beasties on Saturday night were Murphy’s Law and Fishbone, an energetic band from the San Fernando valley.
Fishbone provided quite a show for an opening band, though most of the audience stayed in their seats throughout the performance. Fishbone provided a musical departure from the world of rap ’n’ roll. Led by saxman/lead singer Angelo Moore, the band played material from the In Your Face album, which ranged from jazzed-up reggae tunes to fast-paced punk rock. The band members continually flipped and jumped around the stage while playing their instruments. They even did a funky version of the theme from the Fat Albert cartoon show. However, it still wasn’t enough to motivate an impatient crowd.
As the Beastie Boys went on stage, the crowd went wild. Within minutes, security began hauling out rowdy troublemakers. The Beasties opened its show with pre-recorded tracks of “Slow and Low,” “The New Style” and “She’s Crafty.” Its stage set, consisting of a caged go-go dancer and a monumental 6-pack of Budweiser converted into a DJ platform, proved to be as obnoxious as its songs.
Armed with cordless microphones and an endless supply of beer, the Boys continued a ceaseless rap-attack ear spank with “Time To Get Ill,” “Rhymin’ and Stealin’” and a “Kung-Fu Fighting” stint. At one point, King Ad-Rock pulled a girl on stage and attempted to persuade her to expose her breasts. The Boys continued to baptize the front row with beer as it jammed into “Brass Monkey” and “Paul Revere.”
The last song was, of course, the inevitable “Fight For Your Right,” the so-called Beastie anthem. “Fight For Your Right” was the most anticipated moment of the evening, and it received the loudest crowd response during the whole concert. As the Boys cranked through the first two minutes of the song, a male groupie jumped the stage and swiped MCA’s baseball cap. As security hauled away the groupie, the Boys, puzzled at what happened, started the song over again with a little help from Fishbone and Murphy’s Law. Just as the song ended, Mike D was hit with a bottle and the band immediately left the stage.
The coliseum lights turned on and the show was over. There were no goodbyes, encores or anything else from the Beastie Boys. Whether it was lack of more material or the fact that Mike D was injured, the show ended abruptly.
