I was at "The Who " concert. I don't remember fans destroying anything. That may have been a general admission show when it was a mosh pit of humanity trying to get in. Much more interesting was the "Sex Pistols" show at The Kingfish bar in Southdowns. First time ever saw a dude with a safety pin through his cheek. Johnny Rotten opened the show by hocking a lugey into the crowd.

May not have been “The Who”, but there was a major concert in the late 70’s, where the fans destroyed the place, millions of dollars in damage. It killed the music scene in BR.

I was there. Hell, if you were a "Southdowns" bar regular, I'm sure we crossed paths a few times.
