  • Location / Detroit, MI, USA
  • Venue / Joe Louis Arena

The first show by the band in this city since August 1981 on the High 'n' Dry tour.

The first time at this venue and first of two sold out nights.

The venue was located in the city centre.

It was opened in December 1979.

It was closed in July 2017 and then demolished in 2019/2020.

This show was rescheduled from the 15th June due to Joe's throat problems.

A second night was added and both shows broke the attendance record previously held by Led Zeppelin.
