Pine Knob is an outdoor amphitheater and has presented popular musical performers since the early 70s. I hadn't been there in nearly 10 years, and had never seen Eric Clapton in concert, so it was a treat.
It's nice to know these guys in their 60s can still rock and roll. Though it was somewhat disconcerting to witness a sea of AARP card holders pumping their fists in the air to a performance of the Who's Teenage Wasteland.
This afternoon I Googled "Pine Knob" and was surprised and delighted to learn it is pictured on the cover of Joni Mitchell's live album, Miles of Aisles. I'm a huge fan of Joni and have looked at that album cover countless times. Since the album was recorded in LA, I'd always assumed it was a photo of an LA venue. How interesting to learn that it's Detroit's Pine Knob - makes that album all the more special.
