Once again, I asked and you guys answered. I took to my socials the other day and asked the simple question, what was the best concert of the year?
Some of you didn’t understand the question and gave me answers from shows you’d seen years ago, but most of you were on the money with you picks, and one in particular. We’ll get into that in a second, but first, let’s take a look back on some of the WRIF shows that took place throughout the year.
I’m keeping this list closed to out-of-town shows, but you guys picked some there too. Powertrip was mentioned a few times. KISS outside of Detroit, different festivals and whatnot as well. We’ll just keep this list Detroit centric. There were a lot of great shows to pick from right here in the Motor City.
Of course, Pine Knob was once again hoping with many shows, especially the second half of the summer with all sorts of WRIF shows. I think one week I was there three times. It seemed like every night there was a different rock show. Shows at the Michigan Lottery Amphitheater, Ford Field, even the new District 142 down in Wyandotte.
Ok, time to name the shows you guys picked as some of your favorites. This is in no particular order, although the last concert on the list was the overwhelming pick as the best of the year.
Any guesses? Here we go…..
