    Kid Rock Kicks It Up A Few Degrees

    Kid Rock is the cockiest guy in the world.

    And in his songs, he boasts his various abilities — salacious and otherwise — while saying "it ain't bragging ... if you back it up."

    Too true.

    On Wednesday night at TD Ameritrade Park, Rock — born Robert James Ritchie — did his best to back up those boasts in front of almost 14,000 people over nearly two hours at the Red Sky Music Festival.

    "Welcome to the show," Rock said after taking the stage in sunglasses, shorts, a black hat and black T-shirt. "It's Wednesday night in Omaha! You know what we're gonna do tonight, right? We're gonna kick it up a couple degrees."

    Backed by the 10-member Twisted Brown Trucker Band, Rock sure knows how to play a big venue.

    He worked the crowd Wednesday night with his huge, rocking songs and an enormous stage show — enough lasers, smoke, pyrotechnics, videos and lights to make the made-up members of KISS jealous.

@ Diana I've been a fan for about 6yrs. now & History of Rock has so many of my favs...love Dark & Grey, I always crank that one up, when the kids aren't with me over course!! Then there's Prodigal Son, I Wanna go Back...I could could go on & on about that CD. It probably gets the most play in my truck than all of the others = )

The stage & lighting is amazing for your shows. BIG PROPS to all involved in the hard work it takes to set up & break down. Thank You for KR & TBT for adding so much excitement for us fans to enjoy fully. Rock On!

I remember the first time I heard Kid sing, "it ain't bragging MF if you back it up," and I just roared with laughter. Love how he thinks sometime.

That has become one of my new favorite comments "It ain't braggin if you back it up!" I have been working my way backwards through Kid Rocks albums. Have made it to History of Rock. Not my favorite; but still not bad. Can't wait for Comerica Park in August! Michigan Baby!!!
