BLYN — It was Quiet Riot.
But it wasn’t a quiet riot.
Nearly 1,000 people crowded the bingo hall of 7 Cedars Casino on Saturday night to hear the 1980s-era head-banging, hard rock ‘n’ roll band jam for the first time on the North Olympic Peninsula.
The sold-out concert was loud — downright deafening.
After a couple of tunes, hundreds rushed the stage to get up close with the hard-rock band. Lead singer Kevin DuBrow accommodated them, holding the microphone over concert-goers heads so they could sing along.
Only a few concert-goers climbed on stage — most of them women — nearly crushed in the compact venue. DuBrow pulled them from the concert and escorted them safely off-stage.
Security personnel for the concert said although the bingo hall was jammed, it was anything but a riot.
