Late Seventies and early 80s ? There were a LOT of bars that had good music in all parts of town.

If we are talking about "Downtown" as defined by most people who engage in going into the bowels of the Motor City to do stuff; everything south of the Fisher Freeway that falls between the Lodge to the West and the Chrysler to the East then that narrows it down to a few (not including Cobo, JLA, Masonic, Ford Auditorium, Hart Plaza etc. )

We have circa late 70s through the 80s

Graystone, (under the Ramada)

St. Andrews Hall

The State Theater

The Majestic

St. Andrews was THE place that had the most gigs. Just south of Greektown on Congress

So much good music....now, 99% of todays music is total regergitaded disco/pop CRAP!!! Probably wont believe this but there is one rap song i actually like...not sure why...I think its because it tells about an environment that i completly ignorant to....Jay Z is the guy, the song is 99 problems.....it'll either make you sick because its rap, or it might even kinda draw you in ...for some wierd reason... just go to You Tube. Quite brutal actually.......

Ahhhhhh... Yes. right next to the Fox Theater. Across from a big hunk of cement that was next to the Elwood Bar and Grill.. I heard that big parking lot is now a Stadium?

So it was the Palms then the State Theater/ Club Land and now it made it's way to being the Filmore? Still owned by the Little Ceasars family?

For me, being 6 years younger than my brother had one great advantage, I was listening to some great music at an early age. His record collection was filled with great bands like Led Zeppelin, the Beatles, Steppenwolf, Credence, the Band, Eric Clapton, and Jimi Hendrix. Some of my first records were Kiss, AC/DC, Aerosmith, Rush and Van Halen. All the while, there were bands like the Eagles, Bob Seger, Ted Nugent, Bad Co., Journey, Foghat, Boston, Cheap Trick, Queen, Pink Floyd, and REO blaring on my car stereo. I guess like a lot of you, I really miss the old days. There really hasn't been much that interests me about new music, but I have found a couple of bright spots in recent years. Check out Derek Trucks Band and Joe Bonamassa. Amazing artists in the today's sea of mediocrity.
