at California Jam. The great thing was, their triple shot went off just to the right of drummer Iain Paice, maybe 10 feet away. Blew off his glasses, but he didn't miss a beat.

(Paice was known for stripping to the waist at some point in the set because he was sweating so much, so I imagine his left side got burned a bit. It was their last song, though, so...)
