I was at your 2nd Saginaw show last night and it was off the hook. It was the 1st Kid Rock concert and I was not disappointed at all. I loved the way you started off the show, I loved the big screen you had playing, I loved all the old rockin' songs and the new stuff as well. You had a great mixture of songs, but you played all that I loved. The stage performance was just awesome and I can't think of one negative thing to say about it (other than the fights breaking out around us). It was a BADASS SHOW for sure and I can't wait til my next Kid Rock concert. I'm hooked. Thank you!!!

NO Bob....Thank you!!! Your music has saved my ass on more than one occassion!! Your music & words are endless inspiration! Hoping to make the show in Nashville with you & Jamey! Don't know if it will happen! Great to see you on the Houston Lifestock Show & Rodeo line up! I don't like concerts @ Reliant, to big,to impersonal! But I am sure you will be great! The place to listen to great music @ the Rodeo is The Hideout....cheaper beer too ; ) I will be @ the Jazz Fest in May!! YeeHaw & Happy Birthday again! Keep Doing what you do! Christin

I'm flying from D down to my hometown of Jacksonville in March to see ya. I'll be sportin' my "Vice Mayor Of Awesomeville" t-shirt, and should be close. I'll give ya a shout out. As far as the set list, I wanna hear Hillbilly Stomp and What I Learned Out On The Road live. 17 shows and I can only remember a little part of HS once. Thanks for doing what you do... Hope 40 is awesome, and here's to another 40.

Glad you're feeling good, old man! I wasn't at the last two shows, so my comments should probably be ignored! but I can't help give an opinion when asked... I've seen the fan videos from all the recent shows if that helps any! Love the new set/stage. I love your new mix of music, from old to the new--def keep working that angle. I love it when you weave some covers into your music, but like it less when you do full, straight covers. If I want to see some other band, I'll go see them. but its interesting and unusual and creative when you weave your favorites from other bands in and out of your music. More Jessie. Always more Jessie.

I did not make it to Saginaw but I was at the Birthday Bash and I must say that was the best show I have ever seen, truly amazing! I loved the old school stuf that you mixed in, but I really love your new album it has so much meaning and so much soul. Do what you do and who cares what others say! Ply the songs that mean something to you. Love ya!

I went to both shows in Saginaw and thought they were both amazing! I would have loved to heard "Times Like These". It's a very touching song and the video you did along with the song at DTE last summer gave me chills! I think there was a great mix of new and old. The TBTB sounded great and didn't miss a beat. Your stage presence was phenominal and it's great to see a performer truly enjoying themselm! You kept the ticket prices very reasonable and that is very much appreciated. Saturday was my 6th Kid Rock concert and they just keep getting better! I brought along 4 people that had never seen you and they are now hooked and can't wait for you to come around again! Hoping you come to DTE this summer....looking forward to another concert! Rock On!

went to the Friday show at Dow event center. I was very disappointed with my seats. I was 4th in line on the day they went on sale and was given seats in section 25. which was behind the stage. could not see the first two acts or the screen at all. Very disappointed!!!!!!!! Missed alot of the show because of it. I love the music and the songs you sang but like you said that night you were very happy we spent our hard earned money to see you. I would have loved to see your face not just your back side.(nice back side i must admit). Would love to go see you again but maybe your promoters could make sure ticket master does a better job. Wen i complained to the staff at the Dow I was told that ticketmaster was not suppose to sell tickets for that area. and there was nothing they could do. Maybe next time you could hook me up with some good tickets. Wish i was happier about the experience i looked forward to that concert for over a month and went away disappointed. Sorry Bob but i thought you might want to hear the truth.I love your music and the fact that you stay true to Michigan. Keep up the good work and maybe i will get the chance to see you in concert again.

I was at Ford Field. I cannot get you out of my system. I had to go buy Live Trucker yesterday. You are all I talk about at work now. My co-workers are so sick of hearing about how great you are. I am sorry I am not answering your question. I couldn't resist reaching back after I saw your post. I love you Kid. You rock. Now, please quit being so awesome so I can focus on something else.

I was at your B-day Bash in the Big D and just couldn't resist seeing ya again so a week later we were in Saginaw on Friday night. I cannot believe the intimacy of that venue. 60,000 people one week down to maybe 6,500! I've never been there but will definately be back to see you again @ The Dow Event Center..........Amazing!!! I thought your Tour Kick off was great, wouldn't change a thing......well maybe remove the guards and metal fence around the catwalk stage....it makes it hard to get up on stage and grab ya!! :) Hope to see you this summer @ DTE!! Rock on Bob and welcome to the 40 club, I've been there since September......it doens't feel any different!

The 1/21 Saginaw show was the first Kid Rock concert I've attended. I've enjoyed pieces of your work over the years, just not a huge fan. A friend of mine has told me for years that I had to see you live, period. What the hell took me so long? Two words, the show "kicked ass"! The band was tight and you sounded excellent. Next, I'm going to go back through your music and build myself a KR library in iTunes. Grew up in Mount Clemens and wrestled Poo Bear in H.S. Never beat him, just too damn big for a 250lb kid to take on that 300+. In any event, I have a small piece of KR in my background. Won't ever miss another show. Thanks!

What are you doing up so early:) I know you are probably wanting to hear from people from the Saginaw show but I have to let you know my thoughts from your Bday party. I am proud to say that I was able to attend your Ford(y) show and that I look forward to seeing you in GR this Tues. I don't think I could have asked for anything more at your Bday Party. You and your crew did such a wonderful job with the arrangement. I am hoping your Born Free tour includes the whole pimp, fur LED light coat bit. I really enjoyed that portion and have never seen it before at any of your other shows. Would love to hear "Rock and Roll Pain Train" C-ya Tuesday.

Hoping you come to the DC area. I have been to a ton of concerts and yours is the best I have been too. I hope to hear Rock Bottom Blues. That is by far the best song you have done to date. Of course it wouldnt be a Kid Rock concert without Cowboy!

We were at the Saturday show at The Dow. Each time I see you I wonder how you can outdo yourself. You never seem to disappoint. I think the playlist was a good mix of old and new. Love the pics too. Welcome to the 40 something club!

Wish I could have been there. It's just impossible to buy tickets when they sell out in 16 minutes. I wish you could just keep adding shows (locally) until every single fan has an opportunity to go. But Happy Belated Birthday anyway.

I am going to Tuesday Grand Rapids show and I had to watch all the video on Youtube of the show. It got me super super excited. It looks awesome! Love the stage, love the long cat walk (is that what it's called?), love all the pyro...etc.. You sang all the songs I would want to hear. You are right, you have too many great songs to pick from! :) Did you do Devil without a cause?, that is my fave. I love the lighted up pimp coat...cool! I think the show looks amazing!! I am bringing 3 people with me that have never seen you in concert and they are going to love it!! I am so excited for them. :) See you on Tuesday! I cannot wait!!!!!! And again, I think it is super cool that you asked what we would like to hear. That what is so great about you, you know what we want to see and hear. :) Love you!!!!!

We attended your show in Detroit and it is the BEST performance ever! Not sure if you played this song in Saginaw or not, but speaking for my posse we would love to hear Blue Jeans and a Rosary. Have not heard you play that at your last few concerts or on the boat. Just sayin . . . Have a great Sunday! P.S. Loved Rev Run and I hope he is selected and accepts for the cruise :)

It is a good problem to have :-) I'll see ya Friday in Columbus. My only input as far as what to sing is what ever feels right to you I'm good with hearing. I think a nice mix between new and old would be great. Ohhh and if I could request a song, can you play Cocky? That song just makes me smile :-D

Bob - I was at Ford Field and your show was amazing!! I would've loved to hear Roll On. I will join the club in July, hopefully, I run into you at the Shop and you can sing I'm Fuckin' 40 to me! Thanks for all you do for Michigan.

Hi Kid - we were at Fridays show. We thought it was excellent. Your right - so many good songs to pick from. It was hot as hell in the stadium not much you can do about that. Other then that - excellent excellent show. We joined the KRC and got excellent seats thru the pre-sale. Would like to meet you sometime. We live in Imlay City and eat at old train station in Clarkston all the time - went to college with Erich Lines. God Bless - Booner77

Although, I was not at your Birthday bash I am sure that it was incredible. Each and every time that I have seen you in concert has been a treat and well worth the trip! I can't hardly wait until you are in Kansas City! I agree with Chewber, that it really does not matter what you play as long as you play! Peace and Love!

Not used to be asking for feedback :) Wonder how the feedback is going to be received by my fellow fans, but who gives a rat's ass. You ask & here it goes... My husband and I would suggest you reconsider continuing with the mash up where you play all in instruments/mix board. Maybe it's because we've been blessed to see you alot :) We were at a "few" of your concerts last year where we heard you say you were putting away the "me, me, me song" ("KID" from the ladies, "ROCK" from the dogs) part of the show, but noticed it was back. Though, I must say "the me, me, me" song in front of 60,000+ fans at Ford was AMAZING! Peace & see you in Nashville, on a boat motherfucker'!
