Question
Did the STUPID with the flare gun ever get busted?
I don't think they ever popped the dude that did it.
From everything I have read over the years, I don't remember a name being mentioned or any kind of legal precedings ( which, the way the media is, would have gotten big press).
Also, the Montreux was a pretty big place, so it only stands to reason that the dude would have been pretty anonymous in a large crowd, particularly considering the pendemonium that ensued when the fire broke out.
But that really is a VERY interesting question, and one that I cannot answer for sure.
But from everything I have read about it , it doesn't appear that they caught the guy.

I can answer general questions about rock era bands, record labels they were on, and names of songs. Often I can tell the name of the record company that released a song, as well as the name of the song, and the year of release based on some of the lyrics. I grew up during the rock era and I am a musician myself, and always read the album and 45 info for production credits as well as lineups. One of the chat rooms I go to is quite amused at my ability to name a song along with it`s year of release and record label. I was also a record collector for years.
