21 March 1953 - FIRST ROCK AND ROLL CONCERT: DJ Alan Freed's Moondog Coronation Ball, in Cleveland, Ohio, notably features racially mixed performers and fans. Considered history's first big rock concert, some
20,000 screaming teens try to crowd into a venue that can hold just
half that number. Police will halt the show after just one song is
performed.
Loe Mintz and Freed decided to do something that had never been done:
hold a live dance event featuring some of the artists whose records
were appearing on Freed's show. Dubbed “The Moondog Coronation Ball,”
the event was to feature headliners Paul Williams and his Hucklebuckers
and Tiny Grimes and the Rocking Highlanders (a black instrumental group
that performed in Scottish kilts). In the end, however, the incredible
popular demand for tickets proved to be the event's undoing.
Helped along by massive ticket counterfeiting and possibly by overbooking
on the part of the event's sponsors, an estimated 20,000-25,000 fans
turned out for an event being held in an arena with a capacity of only
10,000. Less than an hour into the show, the massive overflow crowd
broke through the gates that were keeping them outside, and police
quickly moved in to stop the show almost as soon as it began. On the
radio the very next evening, Alan Freed offered an apology to listeners
who had tried to attend the canceled event. By way of explanation, Freed
said: "If anyone…had told us that some 20 or 25,000 people would try to
get into a dance—I suppose you would have been just like me. You would
have laughed and said they were crazy."
