June 17, 2026 ~ In this episode of Hidden in Plain Sight, Dr. Robert Livernois takes listeners to Detroit’s east side and inside the storied walls of Harpo’s Concert Theatre, a venue where decades of sound and history collide. Originally opened in 1939 as the Harper Theater, this sleek Art Moderne movie house once welcomed families seeking Hollywood escape beneath glowing lights and painted murals. But as the city evolved, so did the building—transforming in the 1970s into a high‑energy nightclub before finding its true identity as Detroit’s legendary “metal church.” Over the years, Harpo’s has hosted a powerful mix of artists, from Iron Maiden and Slayer to U2 and Snoop Dogg, each leaving their mark on its worn but resilient interior. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See https://pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.
