Dick Valentine American Troubadour

The Detroit Dish

Monday, March 31, 2008

Though it was cold and wet outside, Dick Valentine kept our hearts ablaze with an acoustic solo set last night at The Belmont. It was a night of drink, cheer and song - a night that shall last forever in Detroit lore. Dick's set included such Electric Six classics as "Night Vision," "Pink Flamingos," "Dance Commander," "Rock N Roll Evacuation," "Lenny Kravitz," and "She's White." However, the hightlight of the evening was easily Dick's stage crowd rendition of "Gay Bar," a touching ode to Belmont owner Daren Grow.
