With the indefinite closure of the legendary St. Andrew's Hall, I started thinking about all the great shows I've seen there. Which led me to think about all the other legends who have played in Detroit. There's a reason why Detroit is called "Rock City". Everybody who's anybody has played the city. It is universally one of the top places rockers love to play. Detroit knows how to rock. Were you at any of these shows?

While tracking down all of these iconic flyers I found this guy on TikTok. Look at all the Detroit show flyers he has from the 90's!

Here's to hoping St. Andrew's comes back better than ever! We can't lose another legendary venue in Detroit!
