Pine Knob Music Theater : ウィキペディア英語版
DTE Energy Music Theatre

DTE Energy Music Theatre (originally Pine Knob Music Theatre) is a 15,274-seat (7,202 seats in the pavilion; 8,072 on the lawn) amphitheater located in Independence Township, Michigan, approximately 40 miles northwest of Detroit (it has a Clarkston, Michigan mailing address).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=PALACE SPORTS & ENTERTAINMENT - DTE Energy Music Theatre )〕 Built by Nederlander Organization in the early 1970s, it was originally known as Pine Knob Music Theatre due to its proximity to the nearby Pine Knob ski area and golf course. The name was changed before the 2001 concert season when DTE Energy (the parent company of Detroit Edison) purchased the naming rights to the amphitheater in a ten-year, $10 million deal. Despite this change, many people still continue to call the venue "Pine Knob", "The Knob", or "The Hill". Palace Sports and Entertainment, which owns the Detroit Pistons, The Palace of Auburn Hills, and operates Meadow Brook Music Festival, purchased the amphitheater in 1990.〔〔 Annually it ranks among the top-selling outdoor concert venues in the world and has won dozens of awards in the industry, including Pollstar's Best Major Outdoor Concert Venue (2000), Billboard's Top Amphitheater for attendance (2011) and Pollstar's Top Amphitheater Venue Worldwide for total tickets sold (2011).〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Pollstar Awards Archive - 2000 )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=2011 Year End Worldwide Ticket Sales - Top 100 Amphitheatre Venues )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=2012 Year End Worldwide Ticket Sales - Top 100 Amphitheatre Venues )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=2013 Year End Worldwide Ticket Sales - Top 100 Amphitheatre Venues )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=2014 Year End Worldwide Ticket Sales - Top 100 Amphitheatre Venues )
==History==
The amphitheater held its grand opening on June 25, 1972, with a matinee performance by teen idol David Cassidy. Andy Williams performed the first evening concert two nights later.〔 At the time of its opening Pine Knob was the largest amphitheater in the country with a capacity of 12,500.〔
One of the iconic features of the first years of Pine Knob was the dramatic entrance way to the amphitheater. Long cement retaining walls that cut through the hill/lawn were professionally hand-painted with the logos of every band that had played there. The walls were filled in and replaced by stairs and more lawn seating during the early 1980s, thus increasing the amphitheater's capacity to more than 15,000.〔 The original sound system was novel in its day, a huge theatrical performance system designed for an outdoor theater with a custom console and large-array distributed speaker system.
On November 29, 1990, Palace Sports and Entertainment purchased Pine Knob and spent $8 million on renovations. Included in the upgrades were video screens in the pavilion.〔 In 1995 video screens were installed in the pavilion's roof for spectators to see from the lawn.〔
On January 25, 2001, Palace Sports and Entertainment announced that the venue's name would be changed to DTE Energy Music Theatre. The deal was worth an average of $1 million per year over a ten-year term.〔〔 Anthony F. Earley Jr., chairman and CEO of DTE Energy and Detroit Edison, said in a statement that "The agreement will help finance improvements to the venue to enhance concert goers' enjoyment."〔 Tom Wilson, president of Palace Sports and Entertainment, adds "This sponsorship ensures a comprehensive program of capital enhancements, including sound control projects, road improvements and various upgrades and additions to the grounds, and to expanding our community relations program to benefit the immediate community and the entire southeast Michigan area."〔
Before the 2012 season the amphitheater received a new state-of-the-art audio system - the Meyer MILO Line Array sound system. The system is fully suspended above the stage, allowing fans from all sections a better view. The amphitheater was also redesigned with forest green colors, new signage, expanded food options and a new open-air beer garden called The Pine Tap.〔
Many of the biggest stars in music have performed at DTE. For more than twenty years (with the exception of 1995) beginning in 1989, Eddie Money opened the concert season each May.〔 Through 2014, Chicago has appeared at the venue 70 times, more than any other act. Linda Ronstadt also performed there nearly every summer throughout the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s. Bob Seger has played more than 25 sold-out shows at the amphitheater, including eight in 1977, a record for most performances in one season that was matched by Kid Rock in 2013 then broke by Kid Rock in 2015, with ten consecutive sold-out shows.〔 Bob Dylan played Pine Knob nine times between 1981 and 2000. Detroit's own Diana Ross often made it her hometown stop during her summer schedules.
DTE is the usual Detroit-area stop for some of the biggest tours of the summer concert season, including The Area:One and Area2 Festival, Crüe Fest, Ozzfest, Curiosa, Projekt Revolution, The Gigantour, Reggae Sunsplash and The Family Values Tour. Lilith Fair made a stop at the venue every year it toured in the 1990s (1997-1999) and also during its revival tour in 2010. It was the Detroit-area stop for Warped Tour in 1996 and 1997, and also for the Lollapalooza tour in every year of its existence but one before the tour signed an exclusive deal with the city of Chicago.〔 The venue also hosts the Lake Orion High School and Clarkston High School graduation ceremonies, typically held at the end of May or beginning of June.
