The Grande Ballroom was home to an eminent change in America’s music culture. It pumped a daring and gritty style of rock and roll for crowds who worked hard and played hard.Launching Michigan bands such as MC5, Alice Cooper and the Stooges, the Grande was also a hot ticket for the greats, including Led Zeppelin, B.B. King, Janis Joplin and Pink Floyd. - Louder Than Love is both a historical essay and a love letter.
- It’s the story of promoter Russ Gibbs and his ambitious vision to define Detroit through music.And not just for the local scene – but for the world-stage.
Richly filled with images and captivating interviews with everyone from rock legends to groupies, this film celebrates a striking and influential moment in music history.

“Arguably even more enticing is ”Kick Out The Jams”, a series of documentaries on Detroit, including Louder Than Love (pictured), about the history of the Grande Ballroom, which played host to The MC5, The Stooge, Alice Cooper and the like.”
