It wasnt a stampede, it was a slow crush. People up front suffocated and passed out from the pressure of 1000's of people in back pushing - and those people in the back had no idea there was a problem up front. There were only 3 doors open for 16,000 fans.

There is a group of people planning to put together a monument of some kind. They changed the way concerts were handled.

@Jefgg Not funny, at all. Learn compassion.

I like to sing "Where are you? Under my feet" to the tune of "Who Are You".

@anonUK Oh absolutely! Had nothing to do with the Mod revival, they were touring "Who Are You", with their new drummer after Keith Moon died.

@77YankeesFan77 That AC/DC concert was in 1991, same situation, GA seating, 3 teens died because they were trampled by the crowd. In 1998 2 people were crushed to death at the Monsters of Rock concert. In 2000 9 people died at a Pearl Jam show in Denmark, and came very close to breaking up the band.

I heard this "stampede" lasted for 2 and a half hours.

There's an episode of WKRP in Cincinatti about this.

Pink Floyd is not for everyone, agreed. Plus, I don't give two shits what you think of the Floyd. Now, for instance, I'm not Rolling Stones fan at all, but I don't go to someone who is a Stones fan and say some stupid, immature gay shit like "Rolling Stones can go fuck themselves". It's only Rock'n Roll, brotha! You listen to what touches you most. Don't waste your energy dissing other people's fave bands. Live and let live. I'm sure Townsend would agree with me on this.
