It was the key to distributing the Grande postcards on the street and in schools. Volunteers, mostly high-school-aged kids, would get a stack of cards to pass out, plus a free pass to the Grande for themselves. Russ Gibb, who ran the Grande Ballroom, says that this was the ticket, so to speak, to bring in the crowds. While posters in Detroit did not have the effect that posters in San Francisco had, and handbills were only somewhat better, the cards turned out to actually work best. These cards are quite rare.

An excellent book Detroit classic rockBy Georgia glassI have been reading books on classic rock for almost 20 years now and I found this book just excellent. It has a brief, but interesting introduction to the history of the Grande before it starts discussing it's classic rock roots. The chapters are formatted into brief stories in chronological order that were well written and included quotes from people who were there and pictures interspersed. The formatting of the chapters into these mini stories made the book very easy to read and I did not even use a bookmark. The writing itself is well done and kept my interest the whole week I quickly devoured this book. Overall, I learned a lot I didn't know (how unfortunate about the historical nomination that didn't happen) and would definitely recommend for anyone interested in classic rock, Detroit history or any mix of the two.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful.

I was enrolled in Scott Friesner’s legendary “Vietnam and Rock” course and didn’t quite know what to expect yet from either the course or Scott. Being a product of the honors college, I showed up to new classes with a tinge of nervousness, but mostly a quiet confidence. A couple of lines from that initial class in Dunbar are forever burned in my mind. Firstly, and most importantly, professors that keep students for the full class on the first day are wankers. Secondly, if we never push ourselves to learn from people that are different from ourselves, we are simply masturbating our way through life.

  • Detroit Rock & Roll by Ben Edmonds for Our Purposes, The
    "KICK OUT THE JAMS!" Detroit Rock & Roll by Ben Edmonds For our purposes, the story of Detroit rock & roll begins on September 3, 1948, when a little-known local performer named John Lee Hooker entered United Sound Studios for his first recording session. Rock & roll was still an obscure rhythm & blues catchphrase, certainly not yet a musical genre, and Hooker's career trajectory had been that of the standard-issue bluesman. A native of the Mississippi Delta, he had drifted north for the same reason that eastern Europeans and Kentucky hillbillies, Greeks and Poles and Arabs and Asians and Mexicans had all been migrating toward Michigan in waves for the first half of the 20th Century. "The Motor City it was then, with the factories and everything, and the money was flowing," Hooker told biographer Charles Shaar Murray." All the cars were being built there. Detroit was the city then. Work, work, work, work. Plenty work, good wages, good money at that time."1 He worked many of those factories, Ford and General Motors among them, and at night he plied the craft of the bluesman in bars, social clubs and at house parties. But John Lee Hooker was no ordinary bluesman, and the song he cut at the tail of his first session, "Boogie Chillen," was no ordinary blues. Accompanied only by the stomp of his right foot, his acoustic guitar hammered an insistent pattern, partially based on boogie-woogie piano, that Hooker said he learned from his stepfather back in Mississippi as "country boogie." Informed by the urgency and relentless drive of his Detroit assembly line experiences, John Lee's urban guitar boogie would become a signature color on the rock & roll palette, as readily identifiable as Bo Diddley's beat or Chuck Berry's ringing chords.

Some of these articles still need work. [email protected] Here are some other links to more books, articles, and videos on these topics: Main Browsing Site: http://SpiritGrooves.net/ Organized Article Archive: http://MichaelErlewine.com/ YouTube Videos https://www.youtube.com/user/merlewine Spirit Grooves / Dharma Grooves Copyright © Michael Erlewine You are free to share these blogs provided no money is charged 3 Grande Ballroom Set by Michael Erlewine The posters, handbills, and cards of the Grande Ballroom series by promoter Russ Gibb is one of the best-kept secrets of modern poster collection. While most of the attention for psychedelic posters has focused on San Francisco and the numbered series of the Family Dog and Bill Graham, no less of an expert in San Francisco posters than Eric King (who wrote the bible on the Bay-area posters) had this to say about the Grande material: "I realized that these [Grande series] genuinely rivaled the best work of the major San Francisco artists." In the summer of 1966, Michigan school teacher and local record-hop promoter Russ Gibb journeyed to the Bay Area to visit a friend and met up with entrepreneur Bill Graham, who gave him a tour, not only of the Fillmore Auditorium, but of the whole idea of the psychedelic scene. Gibb returned to Michigan determined to create his own Midwest version of the dancehalls and psychedelic trappings that he had witnessed in San Franciso, and with a matter of weeks had done so.

  • Led Zeppelin
    For Linda, Evie, Mollie and Michael – always. Author’s Note While I have been fortunate over the years to have enjoyed the company of various ex-members and/or former employees of Led Zeppelin, it should be born in mind at all times that this is an unauthorised biography, written objectively and with no undue pressure from any outside influence to do anything other than tell the story as I honestly see it. It should also be clearly understood that the italicised ‘flashback’ passages of the text are not the actual words of Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, John Bonham, John Paul Jones and Peter Grant, nor are they actual quotes. Whilst they are all based on thorough biographical research, the facts of which can be found in the Notes & Sources section at the end of this book, the words themselves are the product of my imagination. Contents Prologue – Heaven Part One: Ascension! 1. The Dawn of Now 2. Daze of My Youth 3. Light and Shade 4. Going To California 5. High in the Sky 6. Cannons! 7. Cracking the Whip 8.
