Big Sean @ DTE Music Theatre 8/31/13 (Photos, Review & Setlist)
Big Sean performed an impressive and moving homecoming concert at DTE Music Theatre on August 31st. The performance was in celebration of his new album Hall of Fame, which was released within the same week of his show. The night was indeed a family affair as the Detroiter rapped alongside of his beaming Dad early in the concert, and later brought his mother on stage for a poignant slow dance in which the sensitive Big Sean showed he wasn’t afraid to shed a few tears in front of the 12,000+ crowd. Even though Big Sean invited a bevy of guests on stage to perform with him including hip hop greats,…

More Kid Rock Photos 8-16-13 @DTE Energy Theatre
Nobody doubts Kid Rock’s loyalty towards Detroit and the state of Michigan. The homegrown rockstar still resides in Michigan, shouts his love of Detroit in songs, and most recently sold out 8 August shows at DTE Music Theatre where ticket prices were set at only $20. Kid Rock also showed loyalty towards deceased pal Joe C. at his concert last Friday. Despite that it has been almost thirteen years since Joe C’s Death, Bob Richie always takes a moment to remember his bandmate during each of his performances. Rock’s respectful tribute to Joe C. is yet another example of Rock’s big heart and why his own fans remain loyal. “If…
