The end of Cobo Arena leaves great music memories behind

The Detroit News: "Workers renovating the old Cobo Arena into a sleek ballroom with river views may run into a few ghosts when construction starts next summer: shards of guitar feedback from Jimi Hendrix echoing in the walls, the laughter of a groupie as the roadies load in for a Kiss show.
Cobo hasn't been used for a concert since Phish played there in 2009, but the much-vaunted $221-million renovation will make its demise official. The funky 12,000-seat hall with the sound that lit up live albums like Bob Seger's 'Live Bullet' will disappear.
