30 Years Later - The Who Tragedy
I am from Cincy and still live here and wanted to post and share this. I have attended many PJ concerts, but the 2 special shows that stick out are 1) the show at Riverbend in Cincy shortly after the PJ concert tragedy overseas and they addressed the crowd and the relation to the Who tragedy 2) when PJ finally played the same coliseum in 2006 where the Who tragedy occured, Eddie came out at 7:30, solo, and sang "The Kids are Alright". My father almost died that night, and has only told me the story once, but I will never forget it. Here is to all those who have lost their lives at concerts, Peace to all.

It is crazy how fast the time goes, but it seems the wounds never heal.
+1. I had to prove to my parents for the next few years that I was going to a place with seating only...
I remember going to JFK Stadium here in Philly before they tore it down and all I could think of was this show. It was scary because the place was pratically falling apart and the crowds outside were rough. It was pretty scary.
Looking at the picture montage on the news site, I remember a lot of those faces from when it first happened. The ones of the son outside the place gave me chills.
