The Who Concert

Eleven concertgoers trapped in a crush of people died at the southwest plaza entrance to Riverfront Coliseum while waiting to see The Who, and many others were injured in what was the deadliest concert tragedy in United States history. The tragedy spurred passage of a crowd safety ordinance that became a model for the world. Those who died were Walter Adams Jr., Peter Bowes, Connie Sue Burns, Jacqueline Eckerle, David Heck, Teva Rae Ladd, Karen Morrison, Stephan Preston, Philip Snyder, Bryan Wagner, and James Warmoth.
