The @DetroitSound Conservancy saved that building from collapse and sale - had it listed historically - is in the process of renovating it and turning into performance space once again (community center) and archive. They saved the stage and it went on tour to Paris! Aloe Blacc performed on the same stage that once hosted the legends you list above. Follow them and support if able!
