On 3 December 1979, British rock band The Who performed a concert that was marred by a disastrous turn of events that resulted in the deaths of eleven people. This particular concert was held at Riverfront Coliseum in Cincinnati, Ohio, in the United States. The Who was in the midst of the United States portion of its first world tour since Keith Moon died and the band had already played Passaic, New York City, Detroit, and Pittsburgh before arriving in Cincinnati for their first show there since December 8, 1975.
