Such a horrible tragedy. I’ve never forgotten the emotions that I felt watching this WKRP episode (I was in grade 9 at the time) and seeing the heartfelt reactions that were portrayed. Just looking at that pic churns me up.

For those not familiar with the story:
"The general-admission ticketing policy for rock concerts at Cincinnati’s Riverfront Coliseum in the 1970s was known as 'festival seating.' That term and that ticketing policy would become infamous in the wake of one of the deadliest rock-concert incidents in history. Eleven people, including three high-school students, were killed on December 3, 1979, when a crowd of general-admission ticket-holders to a Cincinnati Who concert surged forward in an attempt to enter Riverfront Coliseum and secure prime unreserved seats inside."

My wife was there as well as my current guitar player. Neither knew anything about the deaths until after they left the concert.
