Many of Detroit’s greatest musical exports — including Diana Ross, Eminem and Jack White — took to the stage in a pulsating sonic spectacle held on the eve of the historic reopening of an 18-story structure that had long symbolized their hometown’s decline.

The 90-plus-minute “Live From Detroit: The Concert at Michigan Central” on Thursday celebrated the city’s refurbished train station, which reopened to the public Friday, six years after Ford Motor Co. took control of the building and more than three decades since the last train pulled out.

“Six years ago, we gathered here, and we dreamed of what was possible. We dared to dream that this station, which had become a symbol of a broken city, could once again shine as the symbol of the Motor City,” Bill Ford, Ford’s executive chairman, told the crowd before Ross, the Motown superstar, opened the festivities with “I’m Coming Out.”

The sold-out event that streamed live on Peacock also featured performances by Big Sean, the Clark Sisters, Common, Fantasia and Melissa Etheridge. Presenters included Detroit Lions legend Barry Sanders and actors Taylor Lautner and Sophia Bush.

“For most of my life, it was just a big eyesore,” Big Sean said. “It’s an oasis in the middle of the city. It’s a metaphor for us all: It’s our time right now.”

Eminem and his longtime manager, Paul Rosenberg, produced the concert. The rapper surprised the crowd by closing the show with a rousing set that included his new single, “Houdini,” as well as “Not Afraid” and the most appropriate “Welcome 2 Detroit.”

Eminem’s appearance may have been a highlight, but White’s performance wasn’t far behind.

Announcing he and his band were “going to play a couple songs tonight that were written a few blocks away from right here,” White was met with a thunderous response when he strummed the opening chords of the anthemic “Seven Nation Army,” which he recorded while a member of the White Stripes. White held his guitar high above his head with one hand as pyrotechnics lit up the station behind him.
