Friday, Feb. 11 | 8:00pm ET (7:00pm CT)

DiscussionFilm

While the West Coast was groovin’ to the sounds of the “Summer of Love” in 1967, Detroit was pumping out a hard-driving, gritty, raw sound that was “Louder Than Love” and The Grande Ballroom stood as the epicenter of it all. Serving as the starting point for bands such as MC5, Iggy & The Stooges, Ted Nugent & The Amboy Dukes, The Grande Ballroom not only influenced local Detroit musicians but inspired bands from all over the U.S. and Great Britain. Legendary acts like Led Zeppelin, Cream, B.B. King, Janis Joplin, Pink Floyd, and The Who graced The Grande main stage on a regular basis.

Louder Than Love is the story of the hallowed halls that started it all, the greatest untold story in Rock & Roll history as revealed by the musicians, artists, and people that lived it and helped create The Grande’s legend.

Talkback following the film screening with director Tony D'Annunzio, moderated by Peter Carey.
