Photos of the rotting corpse of the Grande Ballroom

I grew up in Sterling Heights MI. My mom, dad and uncles all have told me about the Grande (pronounced Grand-EE). My uncle saw Zeppelin there once and the MC5 on numerous occasions. I live in New Jersey now and want to be able to go and see it in person before anything bad happens to it. The Grande was one of the premier places for bands of the era to play in Detroit. I always smile when I see old psychadelic concert posters that list it as the venue.

How well I remember the Grande Ballroom. I was there nearly every weekend in the 60's. It hurts to see it in ruins. What I'd give to turn back the clock and spend just one more evening there! Still a fan........
