Hiding behind a friend carrying a guitar, Goodman settled in behind percussionist Juma Sultan and was assumed to be a member of the sprawling film crew that had surrounded the entire event.

Crocket, meanwhile, seemed to take it in stride, issuing a lighthearted statement at the time, “I thought they were like Black Sabbath, but they ain’t. Not today,…
