My sister and I had a lot of fun here back in the day. Saw MANY big bands.....

25 photos chronicling the demise of the Eastown Theatre in Detroit

The Eastown Theatre, a once-elegant movie palace that became a legendary rock venue in the 1960s and ’70s on Detroit’s east side, has been reduced to rubble.

A demolition crew knocked down the final walls today after the city ordered an emergency demolition

The Eastown opened in 1931 as a movie palace and later hosted some of the top rock bands: The Grateful Dead, The Who, Jefferson Airplane, Pink Floyd, Cream, Yes, Grand Funk Railroad, Steppenwolf, King Crimson and MC5.
