The Raconteurs Kick Off North American Tour With Rousing Return to Hometown DetroitA White Stripes reunion -- of a sort -- was just part of the fun as The Raconteurs kicked off their first North American tour in 11 years on Friday night at the Masonic Temple Theatre in Detroit, in the same place where Jack White and Brendan Benson started the band 14 years ago.
