Moondog Coronation Ball -- Past and Present
The first Moondog Coronation Ball, held on March 21, 1952, was America's first rock concert. The event, conceived and promoted by DJ Alan Freed, was a bit of a disaster, with over 20,000 fans trying to squeeze into a 10,000-seat venue. However, the concept survived and today Cleveland remembers the Moondog with a new Moondog Coronation Ball and concert each March.
