Disco Demolition Night was a promotional event at took place on Thursday, July 12, 1979 at  Comiskey Park in  Chicago Illinois during which a crate filled with disco records was blown up on the field. It was held during the twi night double header base ball  game between the  Chicago White Sox  and the  Detroit Tigers. During the climax of the event rowdy fans surged onto the field and a near riot ensued.

It would ultimately prove to be one of the most notable promotional ideas and one of the most infamous since "Ten Cent Beer Night" in  Cleveland in 1974. The event has been characterized as the "emblematic moment" of the anti-disco "crusade" "the night disco died".

You'll find Vol's 1-5 at my home page if you'd like to hear more...thanks, dj Blue Note.
