My parents were at that Who concert. They showed up late because they were having a good time drinking at the bar. Thanks to booze, they possibly lived.

Possibly lived? Did they never come back? ;)

Haha my phrasing was poor. What I meant by that was they could have been part of the stampede/crunch and been injured or killed had they gone to the concert on time.

I wasn't born for another 10 years so yes, they lived.
