A fight broke out in the crowd during a show by Tenacious D in Las Vegas Saturday night and one person was stabbed, the Las Vegas Journal-Review reports.

Rock-comedy partners Jack Black and Kyle Gass were about halfway through their set at the 1,500-capacity House of Blues venue in the Mandalay Bay resort when a scuffle erupted between two men in the audience. One person was stabbed in the leg, and eyewitnesses told the Journal-Review that a large pool of blood was left in the bar area near the stage.

The police canceled the rest of the concert and shut down the House of Blues for the night. According to KLAS-TV Las Vegas, the victim was taken to the hospital and a suspect is in police custody.

“All Along the Watchtower”

The Jimi Hendrix Experience | 1968

Jimi Hendrix got hold of Bob Dylan's early John Wesley Harding tapes and in late 1967 recorded a version of "All Along the Watchtower" with the Experience in London. Dissatisfied with that first development, Hendrix brought those tapes with him to New York in early 1968 when he began work on Electric Ladyland. Eddie Kramer, Hendrix's engineer at the time, told Rolling Stone that Hendrix "was still looked upon by his basically white audience as the mammoth black guitar hero. There was a constant fight within him to expand himself." Hendrix's successful take on Dylan's work has long been recognized by the songwriter. "I liked Jimi Hendrix's record of this and ever since he died I've been doing it that way," Dylan wrote in the liner notes to his Biograph box set. "Strange how when I sing it, I always feel it's a tribute to him in some kind of way."
