It was believed that George Goebbels was a huge fan of rock-n-roll and wanted a place to take off his jack boots and uniform and just relax after a full day at bunker. Once when the the Rolling Stones performed there on 15 September 1965, the theatre was severely damaged. Fans stormed the stage, and after the band left after a set of only 20 to 25 minutes, fought police, who attempted to control them with rubber truncheons and fire hoses, and destroyed the seating, fire hydrants and other furnishings. 270,000 DM in damage was done, in a riot that fulfilled the dire prophecies of some Berlin newspapers about rock concerts and was the first inter-generational battle of the 1960s in Germany.[ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waldb%C3%BChne
