- The staff find themselves consumed with guilt for promoting a Who concert at Riverfront Coliseum when its general admission policy causes a terrible tragedy.
- For publicity, the station has been having contest giveaways for free tickets to The Who's upcoming Cincinnati concert at Riverfront Coliseum. There is general encouragement to arrive at the venue early to get good seats as the concert, with the exception of a few reserved seats, is general admission aka festival seating. Most of those at the station are going to the concert, including Johnny, who is having problems trying to find not even a date but someone, anyone, with who to go, and a reluctant Mr. Carlson - his first ever rock concert - convinced by Carmen to take little Arthur. In his reluctance to go, Mr. Carlson is making himself sick in the process. The morning after the concert, those at the station are having a crisis of conscience upon learning that eleven kids were killed at the venue prior to the concert, the issue having been a stampede to enter the venue to get good seats. At the time, most at the concert, including the WKRP staff and the band, were unaware of the tragedy. Those arguably most affected at WKRP are: Andy, who fears Mr. Carlson will use the tragedy as an excuse to change the station's format back to beautiful music; sensitive Bailey, who, as part of WKRP's news team, has to report on the tragedy from the unique perspective of having been at the concert; and Mr. Carlson, who, before learning of the tragedy, admits that he had a really good time at the concert.—Huggo
