[00:18.96]Plans call for the British rock group to play April 23 on the other side of the Ohio River, [00:26.84]at Northern Kentucky University. [00:31.16]The concert will take place only a short drive from where the 11 music fans were crushed to death. [00:40.28]More than 20 others were injured in the stampede as thousands lined up for seats. [00:48.88]The announcement came after a Cincinnati television station broadcast comments from Roger Daltry, [00:56.28]The Who's lead singer, and guitarist Pete Townshend. [01:02.52]They are the remaining original members of the band. [01:07.88]Both have said they are always remembering the 1979 tragedy. [01:14.12]Townshend recently told The Associated Press he wanted to discuss it in Cincinnati. [01:22.16]The Who said it will donate some of the profits from the concert next year [01:27.48]to a memorial fund to help students in the Cincinnati neighborhood of Finneytown. [01:34.72]The band has donated money to the fund for years. [01:40.04]Three of the 11 killed had attended Finneytown High School. [01:46.16]The band's members did not know about the tragedy until the show was ending. [01:53.00]Longtime manager Bill Curbishley had made the decision to have The Who perform. [01:59.92]He had warned Cincinnati officials that they would [02:03.20]not be able to control the crowd if the concert did not take place. [02:09.72]Instead, the band left Ohio and moved on to Buffalo, New York, for their next show. [02:18.28]"I'm not forgiving us. We should have stayed," Townshend told The Associated Press. [02:25.04]Townshend recalled the band's manager telling him, "I've got something terrible to tell you." [02:33.44]A similar tragedy happened in 2000 at the Roskilde Music Festival in Denmark. [02:40.72]During a Pearl Jam concert, there was a stampede that killed nine people and injured 28. [02:50.32]Townshend feels that enough time has passed for an important discussion about the Cincinnati tragedy. [02:58.56]He said, "Now, we can have a conversation about it when we go back. [03:04.52]That conversation will pick up. We will meet people and we'll be there. [03:09.64]We'll be there. That's what's important." [03:14.04]Townshend added, "But I do think one of the things that happened at the time was that we ran away... [03:21.64]I left a little bit of my soul in Cincinnati." [03:26.76]I'm Jonathan Evans.
