Does any one know who was the photographer at the Longbranch After Party? I was there and had my picture taken with "The Kid" but am unable to find out who took the photos that night. If any one has any information that can help me I certainly would appreciate it!!!! I have been looking since February 23, 2008. No one seems to know who he was. Please help me if you can. I would really like to have copies of me with Kid Rock!!!!!! I am very desperate!!!! Sally

I went to the concert at the RBC, it was great!!!!!!!!!! Kid Rock is the man!!! The best concert ever!! The concert at the RBC was so great I had to go to the Longbranch, paid 25 to get in and 100 for the VIP to meet and greet the rock. The longbranch was deceiving, I was the first in line and never got close, the people that got to meet him were with the rude employees and their friends with no VIP pass. I was pushed to the side like a nobody with my $100 VIP!!! Kid Rock had nothing to do with it, I saw first hand how the longbranch works. Never again will we go back. I see now why they need 80,000.00 to stay in business, they need to learn how to treat the public and hire new staff. Out of the four of us who went it was our first and last time at the longbranch. The concert was great and will continue to support kid rock in whatever he does as long as it is not at the LONGBRANCH!!! LOVE YOU, come back to NC SOON!!! p.s. find a new club to go to next time. you don't compare to that shit hole.

The Concert at the RBC center was great as usual. I love going to see Kid in concert he is such a great performer. He really puts on a show. And it was like 1984 all over again with Run. That was so awesome. I also plan on going to the concert in Bristol, TN. The after party was a joke. After standing in line and then paying that awful amount for nothing. As soon as I seen how much it cost to get in I told my friends Kid Rock has no idea what they are charging people. He thanks people for spending their money on him he wouldn't expect people to pay $100.00 just to look at him. The crowd was terrible people getting throwed out like crazy. The staff at the longbranch was not friendly. Last time of going to that club but not the last Kid Rock concert. I will continue to go see him any time he is playing within a days drive. Keep up the great concerts KID!!! The new album is your best I love it.

Goober did you get the chance to speak with him or shake hands ??? Were there alot of people around him ? I really know in my heart that Bob had to be tired !!!! His performance is always so very powerful > how could he not be exhausted ?? Wonder if anyone got to see him backstage at the concert ?

reply to sisiea, the bouncer "Roger" does not work for the Longbranch. I personally had a great time at the afterparty. I wasnt promised anything just stated a Kid Rock after party. Didnt say anything about pictures or anything. Everyone just assumed, and you know what happens when you do that. The Office had that at the Longbranch cause it was a bigger place for the tickets that were sold. Longbranch just provided the space. Personally, i like Kid Rock, but he was not very friendly that night at all. Just kinda sat or stood around. Its, his choice, but i dont really think he knew where he was to be honest. Hey, but thats Kid. Think it was a chore just to get him to stay the 1 hour he promised. But after a long show, and all that energy, what do you expect.

Heres the deal, I went to the concert at RBC, front row section 3.... Kid was the best, he gave a solid, hard, true performance. He brought the house down Old School with Rev. Run. You could really see the admiration and comradely he holds for the Rev. Kid is a true believer in the support needed for our troops, he is a southern country boy that just believes in having a huge party, he loves the woman and loves his fans.... I checked ahead of time on this after party gig, and it didn't sound up to par, and not allot of info could even be given for the junk. I chose not to go. I have been a patron of the Longbranch for years, attended some great events, and met lots a Famous artist.... I believe the Kid didn't expect such a crazy deal. He is good to his fans, if you ever have been to see him, than I am sure you have heard him say he wouldn't even charge you to see him if he could... he always thanks us for the money we put out to hear him sing... Out of every person I have ever seen, only he has always thank us constantly for the love we put out to him... He is to talented to be ripped over someone taking advantage of him... I promise you he wasn't trying to piss any fans off, He wouldn't be singing the songs if he didn't have the fans.... He loves us as much as we Love him. Don't hate Kid, hate the man that ripped all you fans off!!

Well that makes sense !! I would hate to think the Longbranch was that greedy with the fans!!! I have known of other stars going to the Longbranch, fans getting to see them, and great comments made reguarding how cool things were >> But this happening takes the cake !!! I know that Bob "Kid Rock" , did not have a clue as to how his loyal fans were being ripped off !!!

I hope that those of you that went to the after party come back on here and read this.... The after party in Raleigh was HOSTED BY THE OFFICE NIGHTCLUB. They sold 2 kinds of tickets $25 (just got you in the door and NO CHANCE of seeing Kid Rock) and $100 tickets (got you in the VIP section and didn't promise anything). The Office sold so many tickets that they couldn't have the event at their club in Downtown Raleigh so they rented the Longbranch for the night. I have been going to the Longbranch for 18 years and NEVER has there been a national artist that has come there that you had to pay $100 to get to see in a VIP area. Please understand that the Longbranch hosts national events and all artists that play there have an autograph signing and picture taking session with general patrons AT NO ADDITIONAL COSTS TO THE PATRONS. Please don't let your Kid Rock experience taint how you feel about the Longbranch. This event was Hosted by the OFFICE NIGHTCLUB. The Longbranch was merely the location and wasn't responsible for any of the nights events.

Would have loved to come to the after party, but sorta glad I didn't from the responses from other people. Oh well the concert was kick ass. Can't wait to see you again. So Rock on Kid Rock! See ya next time in your NC

Wow, was hoping for an after party in Nashville.......but shewww nevermind! I'll be rockin out at the show, absolutely can't wait! But I think I'll leave my dream of meeting KR to chance, and besides I'd like to burn one with him, that ain't gonna happen in that kinda setting. Sounds to me like the long branch just saw dollar signs and didn't care if the fans got what they paid there hard earned money to get or not. We as fans know, Rock ain't like that! I don't know, but I'm guessing I would hafta think bobby was clueless on this going in to it. No matter, I'll still be in Nashville Fri night to testify!!!!WOOOOHOOOO CAN"T WAIT!!!!

The concert was awesome, Kid always gives a great show and he tore the roof off the RBC center, but I agree, the after party thing was a total joke. I too spent a fortune that night, but when no one at the Longbranch could guarantee me a quick meet and greet, I passed on the $100 to go upstairs. All I wanted was as well was a minute to get a pic and and that thrill of meeting someone I think is so fucking cool. I would have spent that $100 in a heartbeat if I knew it would happen. SOOOOO glad I didn't, from what I have read. The Longbranch made out like a bandit that night. And not every employee at the Longbranch was a dick.....the bartenders were great, the guy at the door was funny as hell. Especially when he carded me....(I am over 40). I will still go to the next concert, and still buy the next CD.....(yes I buy the CD's, don't steal the songs from the internet). Rock and Roll Jesus is the best one yet!!!!!

Kid Rock was the Bomb as usual at the RBC Center in Raleigh, N.C. 2/22/08 but the so called after party at The LongBranch was a fucking rip off we spent over one thousand dollars all together me and my 3 friends to go to the concert and THEN THE SO CALLED AFTER PARTY we paid 100.00 each and did not even get within ten fucking feet of KID ROCK they had him roped off like a bull, also I and my sister Judy that went we are on total disability from multiple back surgeries......I have lone Rock since back in the 1990's and was lead to believe we would get to meet him in person,that has been a dream of mine for years.... I have all his CDs and I was injured by a BIG BLACK ASS BOUNCER AT THE LONGBRANCH early Saturday morning as we were leaving.. I was outside talking to a guy that had took a bullet for our country in IRAQ he also got fucked over too...But the big ass bouncer NAMED ROGER and another one were pulling a guy out like he was a dog, and this big ass Roger did not even look to see if there was anyone outside behind him and he hit me like a train, I have a large bruise on my right arm and on my lower back we have pictures and have contacted a lawyer SO TAKE A LITTLE LADIES ADVISE Fuck the after show .I only weigh 110lbs and this bouncer was about 6'5 and weighted around 280-300lbs... KID I STILL LOVE YOU AND I JUST THOUGHT YOU SHOULD KNOW HOW YOUR BIGGEST FANS WE TREATED.........I don't blame you for anything and will always come to see you when you are close........Think more about the little people that put you where you are today MUCH LOVE TO YOU KID AND ROLL ON BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I loved the concert as always !! Kid Rock really rocks the world when he is on stage ! I am glad now that we decided not to go to the Longbranch. I would have loved to shake Rocks' hand, even get a sweet kiss on the cheek , LOL , but the comments tell a different story. Does not sound like I would have gotten to even be in the same room with him ?? Well at least we had front row seats > next concert it will be the pit !!!

The concert was awesome as always. We drove from Richmond, Va. However, the "after party" was a HUGE disappointment. We stood in line forever, (like losers) then we were charged $50 just to get in the dump. Then they wanted another $100 to get to the "VIP" and that's where we drew the line! I have seen Kid Rock 4 times in concert. All I wanted was a hand shake and an autograph, I love you man, but c'mon! So let's add all this up, concert $125 - hotel $275 - beer $8 a glass/$75 - "after party" $100 - gas $100 (this is for 2 people) the GRAND TOTAL = $675 PRICELESS!

My sister took me to Phoenix, AZ on Feb. 2, 2008 (Bud Bowl) just to see Kid Rock. What an awesome show! We wil be in the pit on March 7, 2008 in Knoxville, TN and then again on March 15, 2008 in Louisville, KY. So how about an "AFTER PARTY" in Knoxville? or Louisville?

The Concert was awsome... The after party place sucked. They charged a lot of us $100.00 to get to the VIP room to see Kid Rock, where we were suppose to get to take pictures and get a autograph. Well naturally that never happened. But people here in Raleigh, North Carolina are saying it was becsuse Kid Rock was unfriendly and stuck up. I told them no-he apperantley did not know about the extra charge. All together the night cost me $400.00. The only people who got close to Kid Rock were the people who worked for the Longbranch and I guess girls who gave the body guards blow jobs. I do not know if Kifd Rock had anything to do with this or not, I hope not. That will really maek me a no fan. I just wanted Kid Rock to know that the Longbranch sent out a memo ealrier this week sqting they needed $80,000.00 to keep the doors open- will there was a lot of females that paid $100.00 for a piece of paper and I personnal was pissed that I did not get what I was promised bt the Longbrand IF PEOPLE IN RALEIGH, NORTH CAROLINA READ THIS PLEASE ADD YOUR COMENTS ABOUT THE WAY YOU WERE TRATED BY THE LONGBRANCH EMPLOYEES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks, and as always I LOVE YOU KID ROCK.....Keep rockn on.

It's rude people like Bubba mentioned that ruin it for the rest of us, if people keep doing that crap to him he wont ever want to be up close and personal with any of his fans. BOB RITCHIE, PLEASE PARTY WITH US IN NASHVILLE. ( I am flying from Seattle just to see you).Much Love.
Fan_708's picture

Rock is the man it was cool being able to see him that close If the people would just let him chill and stop trying to rip his jewelry off his hands.People are so rude sometimes when it comes to celebrities.Its just my opinion but i think when he rolled up in the Long Branch he would have had a good time and just chilled with every one if some of the rude fans in the VIP would have just backed off a lil bit.I guess that is the life of a rock star and the way people act every where!

I am looking for the gentlemen that I met at The Long Branch after party. You could be my soulmate!!! Please try to find me.

Best place to party in Charleston is at Big John's tavern. It's a dive but it rocks. East Bay and Market streets are great. Also the Silver Dollar on upper King street rocks.
