Video, Audio, Photographic Appearances
A variety of concerts from the venue have been videotaped and recorded through the years. One of the latest works is a DVD release of Barenaked Ladies' Talk to the Hand: Live in Michigan. During the set, vocalist Steven Page asks how the "Pine Knobbers" are feeling, after which a large cheer fills the amphitheatre. As one of the first modern FM/broadcast television "simulcasts," in the summer of 1983, the Steve Miller Band was shown on Detroit broadcast station WKBD-TV and heard simultaneously on FM 98.7 WLLZ. This concert was a timely promotion for Miller's single, "Abracadabra," and featured an unseasonably cold and wet audience which weathered the event with excitement. Late in the afternoon, prior to the evening concert, tickets were made available at local record stores so Pine Knob could ensure a full venue, even with bad weather approaching.
Classic rock guitarist Peter Frampton released a live DVD titled Live in Detroit featuring a July 17, 1999, Pine Knob appearance.
On the black market, many bootleg recordings from the Pine Knob soundboard exist, as well as freely traded concerts like those of the Grateful Dead.
As an additional note, Genesis drummer and frontman Phil Collins is clearly seen wearing a Pine Knob logo golf shirt in the music video for the studio version of the song "No Reply." Alternate live versions of the song from the Three Sides Live recordings are not the same.
In photography, Jackson Browne used a photograph of himself and future wife Lynne Sweeney standing in the Pine Knob loading dock door for his Running On Empty LP. The photo was taken in August 1977 by photographer Joel Bernstein.
The front cover of Joni Mitchell's 1974 live album "Miles of Aisles" features the interior of the pavilion as it appeared at the time, although the tracks on the album were recorded at venues in California
Green Day's new album includes a song called J.A.R. from the band's August 23, 2010 concert at DTE.
