| Ted Nugent's 'Motor City Mayhem' Shot July 4, 2008 in front of a house packed with a wildly enthusiastic crowd at the outdoor DTE Energy Music Theatre in the Motor City Madman's hometown of Detroit, the disc documents the celebration of Nugentıs 6000th live performance, including guest appearances and a set list of nearly two dozen Nugent favorites honoring his blues and soul roots. Of course, Ted is already looking ahead to his 7000th show: ³Iım having a camouflage electronic walker built now.² The multi-platinum guitar icon, author, outspoken activist, television personality and avid outdoorsman celebrated this landmark event in true ultra Nuge style. Flanked by troops from the Selfridge Air National Guard, Ted kicked off the celebration with his electrifying version of ³The Star Spangled Banner.² Meanwhile, the Nuge crew wheeled out a 7 foot-tall red, white and blue cake, from which WRIF-FM Rock Girl Cristy Lee emerged to surprise the rocker. ³The whole night was a barrage of wonderful, powerfully stimulating outrages. From the gorgeous girl coming out of the cake, to the presence of my family and friends, being surrounded by U.S. Military heroes during the National Anthem, to the power of my band, the glow of the incredible audience, the spectacular performances by Derek St. Holmes, amazing Mitch Ryder drummer Johnny Bee, my original guitar teacher Joe Podorsek on Honky Tonk, ı to the earth moving as everyone sang every word to my BloodBrother song Fred Bear.ı It was nonstop mind dazzling intensity² exclaims Ted. Commenting on his performance of ³The Star Spangled Banner² with troops from the Selfridge Air National Guard standing around him, Ted called the experience ³very emotional and very inspiring. I have been blessed to hang with these hero warriors a lot and they always move me.² Eagle Rock Entertainment is an international media production and distribution company operating across audio visual entertainment programming.
