There were two shows that evening at the Capitol cinema The attack took place during the first show. When we saw the audience leave we were confronted by hoards of screaming girls who told us what happened (one was my now wife - one of the non screamers - but I digress).

I attended the second show when the KInks were replaced by a double dose of Yardbirds. The problem was that Jeff Beck had only just replaced Eric Clapton as lead guitarist so had to play most of their music twice.

I saw the KInks 30 years later (only Ray Davies remained of the original lineup) and was amazed by their young following even so many years after their prime.
