In 1969 Mitch Ryder & Johnny Badanjek and some other musicians established a new band called The Band Detroit aka Detroit, which recorded an eponymous named album in 1971. They also recorded a live set at the Hill Auditorium, Ann Arbor, on 1972-04-01, which was released in 1997. They had a hit with their version of the Lou Reed-penned song "Rock & Roll", which Reed liked enough to ask Steve Hunter to join his backing band.
