Marshal Tucker Band, "Take the Highway" That is what I told my "X"

Outlaws, Green grass and high tides.

Molly Hatchet

For some reason it reminds me of the Eastown and the Grande Ballroom.

I was there many, many times.... yet, I cannot recall many details other than great, loud music.

Just eat these mushrooms, they probably won't make you puke.     Uhh, Ok!

I played that first Molly Hatchet album, Flirting with Disaster, over and over again.  My NYC Jewish Mother new the words to Wiskey Man!

Had the Best album cover as well:

I used to get "lawn seats" at Pine Knob (DTE energy center now) for $5.00 and the parking was free if you came on a motorcycle.

I saw Marshall Tucker and the Charlie Daniels Band on a double bill. It had been threatening rain but it became one stormy evening. There was a twister spotted within five miles of the concert, so an anouncement was made that everyone on the hill take cover under he pavilion roof.

Both bands played their entire repertoire and since it was still storming, they both got on stage together and replayed some of their more popular tunes. The storm got worse than ever,...so Charlie Daniels started playing the gospel hymn "Will the circle be unbroken" and everyone on stage joined in,...as did the concert goers.

By the time the hymn was over,...so was the storm. That was eerie.

And when I got to the parking lot my bike was still there and it started on the first kick; that was one memorable concert.

ahh, The Eastown Theatre. Saw Joe Walsh and the James Gang, humble Pie with Peter Frampton on the same bill. Maybe cost $8 to get in, all the seats on the main floor were pulled out. The pot smoke was so thick you could hardly see the stage. Truly the golden age of Deeetroit rock and roll. What a blast.

Saw the Marshall Tucker Band play live at a concert in Dothan, Alabama in the '70's (around '76 or '77 maybe).  

Still listen to them.  Have a bunch of MT on my mp3 player.

Do you remember Plum Street, it was at 2nd and Plum. The Hippies had the whole street, it was like Haight-Ashbury in Detroit

[FLAVALK]

I've seen then 4-5 times, the first time was in '73. One of my favorite bands 

[Smokinjoe-VRCCDS#0005]

That narrow boney ass Taylor Swift made over 55 million in 2012 ... WTF is wrong with that picture when these guys work damn near every night in a different state playin' honky tonks ... They are coming back to " The Shed " near my home at Smoky Mountain Harley.... If you have time to check out a tight band watch the Youtube ... Blackberry Smoke live at The Georgia Theatre.


Good One Coming On



Like I Am






Building on the Lynyrd Skynyrd Southern rock template, with a good dose of outlaw honky tonk country and a little bit of bluegrass, gospel, and R&B mixed in, Blackberry Smoke (singer/guitarist Charlie Starr, guitarist/singer Paul Jackson, bassist/singer Richard Turner, keyboardist Brandon Still, and drummer Brit Turner) formed in Atlanta, Georgia, in 2000 and quickly built a loyal fan base on the Southern tour circuit, opening for top-tier acts like Lynyrd Skynyrd, ZZ Top, the Zac Brown Band, George Jones, and others. The group released a debut album, Bad Luck Ain't No Crime, in 2004 on rooster of the Walk Records, then followed it with the self-released EP New Honky Tonk Bootlegs in 2008. A second EP, Little Piece of Dixie, appeared from Big Karma Records that same year. A full-length album, this one also called Little Piece of Dixie, was released in 2009 by BamaJam Records. The band then signed with Zac Brown's Southern Ground Records, which released The Whippoorwill in 2012.

I'm sure I saw all those bands (Joe Walsh 5 times) at the Eastown.  Alice Cooper, J. Geills, MC5, Joe Cocker, Emerson Lake and Palmer, Frampton, And I just can't remember them all.  From 16 to 18 mostly around '69-70.  I never did go to any huge events at Cobo Arena (also gone) (Stones).

I went to concerts for a few more years, but never back at the Eastown Theater.  

Just looking up old pics and thought I'd share.

Cool OLD place.


In our day.








But it's long gone.
