It WAS the Who's concert in Cincinnati where the people got trampled when they opened the doors due to the concert being "festival seating". If I recall correctly, Mick's mentioning of that in his book was because Fleetwood Mac was playing Cincinnati not too long after that (like either the next night or a few nights later) and it somehow negatively affected the audience that was at the Fleetwood Mac show.
The fire incident, I think you're confusing Great White's concert in, I believe, it was somewhere in New England...either Boston or Rhode Island.
