Diana Ross, Eminem, Jack White and Many More Light Up Detroit’s ‘Concert From Michigan Central’


Diana Ross, Eminem, Jack White, and artists from every genre of Detroit's rich musical legacy performed at Thursday's 'Concert From Michigan Central.'

When your all-star Detroit concert opens with none other than Miss Diana Ross gliding down the stage catwalk in an enormous cloud of orange chiffon singing “I’m Coming Out,” you are setting the bar high from the jump — especially if you’re kicking off an event with Eminem, Jack White, Jelly Roll, Common and many others. She is Diana Ross, daughter of the Brewster Projects, queen of Motown, representing some of the city’s glorious past on two levels: She is here in front Michigan Central train station as part of “Live from Detroit: The Concert,” a celebration of the reopening of the gorgeously refurbished building on Thursday evening. There was a clear roof over the stage just in case — the day before, a tornado had touched down in a nearby suburb during dress rehearsal — but Thursday night the problem wasn’t rain, it was wind so strong that the production could not fly the speaker columns or the video screens until the last few acts.
