This is the second show I have seen at Compuware Arena,
normally a place to see no-frills prep hockey, transformed into a concert hall
capable of holding over 3,000 and a massive sound system. While the place isn’t
built for great acoustics, similar to past shows at the old Silverdome, it’s
like hearing a performance in a large tin can. The advantages are a large open
main floor and lots of open space. Give credit to the folks at Crofoot and the
rest of the promoters for successfully pulling off a show of this scale with
competent security, EMS crew and an overall successful way providing a safety
buffer and still letting thousands of kids have a great time.

Paul Basic, the first DJ to perform, played a set of hip hop
electronic music that served mostly as background music as the crowd milled
about staking a space on the main floor or trolling around for friends.
TOKiMONSTA, an Asian female DJ, came on next and played a more diverse set that
pulled from several genres, she also used the mic quite a bit to let the crowd
know she was really enjoying herself.
