Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention in 1966.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=girnJH7tvpM

For those who don’t have time (or tolerance) for the Mothers:

Wednesday I watched the riot, I seen the cops out on the street
Watched ‘em throwin’ rocks and stuff and chokin’ in the heat
Listened to reports about the whisky passin’ ‘round
Seen the smoke and fire and the market burnin’ down

Watched while everybody on his street would take a turn
To stomp and smash and bash and crash and slash and bust and burn

And I’m watchin’ and I’m waitin’
Hopin’ for the best
Even think I’ll go to prayin’
Every time I hear ‘em sayin’
That there’s no way to delay that trouble comin’ every day
No way to delay that trouble comin’ every day

Well, you can cool it you can heat it
‘Cause, baby, I don’t need it
Take your TV tube and eat it

Frank Zappa and the Mother’s had the best place in town.
Some stupid with a flare gun burned the place to the ground.

There was smoke on the water
