1952 – Alan Freed holds The Moondog Coronation Ball at the Cleveland Arena: considered the first rock and roll concert. Performers include Billy Ward and The Dominoes, Tiny Grimes, and Paul Williams and The Hucklebuckers. *Tickets were counterfeited, and an estimated 20,000 fans turned out to fill only 10,000 seats. The massive overflow crowd broke through the gates outside, and police quickly moved in almost as soon as it began when **the fire authorities shut down the concert after the first song by opening act Paul "Hucklebuck" Williams ended.* 3. Carl Palmer was also a member of Atomic Rooster (with ex-Crazy World keyboardist Vincent Crane) FYI, Carl is not on the Crazy World record (he joined in time to tour & break up). On the LP is Drachen Theaker -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Diamond Headz" group.
