I can find the detailed events of the night everywhere. I can't find the names of those who died that night. Kinda important atm personally.
Answer
This is truly one of those historical events that was world news in its day (I remember the event quite well) that has now evolved into a perfect trivia question for a small number of people. I love The Who and have seen them four times. Even though they are down to two of the original band members (Peter T. and Roger D.) they still can rock and have surrounded themselves with younger musicians who do an excellent tribute to the band and its legacy. For more info on the Cincinnati deaths go to www.crowdsafe.com and click on "The Who Concert Tragedy - Twenty Years Later". The deaths of the eleven young people was the start of the recognition that greater safety measures needed to be taken and after the deaths Cincinnati and many other cities and venues made changes to make it safer for concert goers.
What is your connection to this event? You say it is important.
The eleven who died in December of '79 include the following:
Jacqueline L. Eckerle, 15 (went to the concert with her friend, Karen Morrison)
Karen L. Morrison, 15 (see above)
Bryan J. Wagner, 17 (went to the concert with his brother)
Peter Douglas Bowes, 18
David J. Heck, 19 (went to the concert with a friend)
Stephen McGhee Preston, 19 (went to the concert with friends)
Phillip K. Snyder, 20
Connie Sue Burns, 21 (mother of two; went to the concert with her husband)
Walter H. Adams, Jr., 22
James Theodore Warmoth, 21
Teva Rae Ladd, 27 (mother of two)
This question definitely belongs in the History section. It happened 30 years ago; it had a great impact on popular culture at the time; and it was an event that precipitated changes in how we organized events, especially those which involved many young, energetic young people, who were interested in rocking and not personal safety and the safety of others. Three years later, in Toronto, I went to a Who concert at CNE Stadium. It was a wild affair.

What is a Popular Database/Website to Browse for Independent Music?
Zytal
Anyone know popular websites dedicated to independent musicians where they can upload their music and have people listen to them for free? Something like MySpace but ONLY dedicated to everyday independent musicians that may not have been signed off to a record label? Which one is the most popular? Don't say youtube...I want a website ONLY for indie music.
Answer
To find new indie bands to listen to I go to The Deli LA (for LA bands but they have sites for bands from other cities like NYC, Seattle, etc, you select a city in the upper left corner). It's for latest news about indie bands but they include songs and music videos.
Then I check out the artists I like on Bandcamp (either through links from The Deli or by googling Bandcamp "insert artist name'). Lots of indie bands sell their music there, but you can stream the whole albums for free.
Oh and there's also Soundcloud. Lots of indie artists post music and it's free to stream and sometimes download.
Also go to Plixid and click on "indie/post-rock/post-punk" under Categories (right side of webpage, might need to scroll down). They have tons of new albums to download for "free".
