Happy belated birthday Bob!!! I wasn't there the last couple of nights but, I did see you at the dow when "Cocky" came out...your band and you were AWESOME!!! The only thing...the staff at the dow need to lighten up!!! The dow stuff were just assholes to my friends and I!!! Anyway, can't wait to see you at DTE!!! At least there you can get to the stage!! I want to take my 13yr old son to see your band and you, he is a huge fan!!!! Hopefuly, I can get tickets before they sell out!!! I would love for him to met you, that would be awesome!!! Keep on rocking Kid!!! You are a true american bad ass!!!

We had a huge group at the 40th Birthday bash (amazing show!) and the only complaint was that you didn't play So Hott (and that was from my wife). That song is so high energy and is one of your best live songs (witnessed at DTE several times). It would be awesome if you can squeeze it in at Toledo on Wednesday for my wife Amy (bringing another big group with several KR "virgins"). And Toledo welcomes you back!

Friday was awesome! I have been a huge fan for a long time and this was the first time I made it to a Show. What to add? It depends on how long you want to play. It is definatly a good problem...lol...I would have loved to hear "You don't know me" (Polyfuze Method was my first CD I bought) and What I learned out on the road ( Personal favorite from when I was in the Navy). I am just happy you played "You never met a MFer quite like me", Bawitdada", "Picture", and "Puprle Sky"..Plus everything else... I couldn't tell ya what to take out because some one else would disagree. Maybe next time in Saginaw schedule 3 or 4 dates and sell them as a package and just play all the damn songs...lol...You could have all the Top Dog Artists plus some friends and call it "Bob-Stock" or "Kid-Rock-A-Polozza" Good luck and Thank You for Supporting our Troops!

Happy Belated! My husband and I had tkts & were goin to fly up to see 1/21 MI show. But my mom went into kidney failure (due to medication that was wrongly prescribed to her) and I donated my kidney to her on 1/7/2011 & wasn't able to fly or get docs permission to travel. We had to sell our tkts, we are in Philly, PA and we are hoping you put any city in the mid-atlantic on the tour. Last time we saw you we flew to FL & saw you in West Palm Beach with Skynrd. We are REAL fans we are willing to fly all over the country to see you! Right now I am not allowed to fly til the docs clear me to travel which they said probably won't be til March. Me and my husband are HUGE fans, my 46 year old husband even more than me, he JAMS your music EVERY SINGLE DAY in his Chevy P/U, thats how I know he is home. Hope you are well and y'all think about touring SOMEWHERE on the East Coast so we can see you. Your Biggest fans in Philly. Love Ya! Debbie

Happy Birthday Kid. I had never been to one of your concerts before last night although I have been to many concerts. I loved it all. I especially like all the humor and thought the strippers and Jesus stuff was great. I am now a huge fan of yours! I really thought it was a great show. The videos were hilarious especially the 40 song one. Anyway, just that you would ask makes me think more of you. Seriously, keep doing what you are doing! -

Happy Birthday! your first show in Saginaw was awesome. Todd Stone was a great opening act, however Jamey Johnson needs to pick up the tempo if he wants to get a crowd ready for you! By the time you came out, I forgot all about him anyway. Thanks for yet another terrific Kid Rock show!

KR & TBT! One more VERY IMPORTANT thing to think about for UR shows. Switching up the SET~LIST for shows. For example: Dave Matthews can play three shows back to back & each night there are different songs being played. This way when fans attend the show, the eliment of surprise is well at hand. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE consider this, it will really make us wanna get to as many shows as possible and only generates BIG INTEREST on ALL LEVELS. :)

Great Detroit Show..... Just one lil problem, i was kinda disappointed the KR didnt take his hat off while Anita Baker sang the National Anthem. Besides that, great show! I havent missed one yet and i will see you in the summer. :)

We attended the first show in Saginaw (we couldnt get tickets for Ford Field) and you guys were awesome. I wish you would have sang "In Times Like These" but the songs you did play were awesome. (I seen you perform that song when you debuted it at Comerica Park.) I haven't missed any of your shows since you performed @ "The Joe" when the Super Bowl was here in Detroit. I love you and think you are the best performer-EVER!!!!

You are welcome. I watched the first two shows via webcast and fan videos, it was changed up each time, good segways with a nice flow, I liked that you integrated the old with the new, that keeps old fans and new satisfied. Also, loved how the band doesn't miss a beat when you change the words and add on, that shows a talent far beyond words on everyones part! Great new songs on the album plus "Midwest Fall" "Lonely road of Faith" and old ones "Blue jeans and a Rosary "So Hott" "Don't tell me you love me" love the variety. When you get to Pensacola Feb. 14th, adding any of them would be a nice bonus, it is going to be a couple of days before my 50th birthday, what a sweet way to spend it...best part you can tell you are enjoying your God given talent. I wish you many more years of the same. Webcrew is awesome, busy taking pictures, Kevin doing what he does, everyone else behind the scenes, noone ever sees you but thank you for everything you do, you are all great! BTW who is Shaggy C? :)

Hi Bobby, I was at Ford Field...great show! Friends went to Saginaw, you rocked them! :)...one thing that you all do that is a plus...is you make the audience feel close, like we are right on stage with you. Talking to us telling your thoughts, we love it! Like on your birthday bash, when you said, "Don't threaten me with a good time, I love suprises" or when you tell us stories. The way you mix the songs up is awesome...like hard to mellow to hip hop, perfect. I was excited you played "Sugar"..."When you Love Someone" is another fave. Your the music guy though so I am sure you will make it cool:)...Take care of you, love, holli

Hi KR & TBT! Good to hear U had a Happy Birthday Bob! I was there in spirit! I've seen some videos from youtube.com that proves to me UR birthday show was glorious. Love the lighting!!!!!!!!!! Love that UR bringin' back the ol'sKooL songs. Please keep the MEDLEY in, it's always awesome and a great way to mix it up for 15-20 minutes and it allows us fans to hear a good mix. Another thought I had just yesterday when I posted some of UR DJ'n stuff on my FB profile was, it would be pretty sweet to see U ROCKing the turn~tables like U used to do. U know, kinda like how U run around and play all the instruments, well instead of that, add a segment where U DJ just like U did back in the day, play some old school music and get the crowd moving and groovin'. U n' Freddie could have a DJ battle, maybe have Kracker show up when he's available and do it too. A lot of us fans that were not lucky enough to be in MI to see U 20+ years ago, give us a visual of what it was like back then, bring us back Bob, way back. :) Here are some of my favorite songs: Pimp of the Nation Trippin' over a Rock Wax the Booty The Cramper Three Sheets to the Wind U don't know Me EMSP I Wanna Go Back Detroit Thang U Keep On My Name is Rock Krack Rocks I Got One 4'ya Somebody's Gotta Feel This Fist of Rage Fuck Off Dark & Grey Born 2 B a Hick Lay it on Me What I Learned Out On The Road I'm Wrong, but U Aint Right I'm A Dog Lonely Road of Faith Midnight Train to Memphis Drunk in the Mornin' Black Bob Run Off to LA UR version of "Outstanding" just because U ALL ARE. :) Dont Tell Me U Love Me AMEN Blue Jeans & a Rosary Collide Times Like These Rock On Born Free THANK U 4 asking this question, and having it come from U Bob means even more to us fans and friends. :) ~XOXO~

That age thingy is just a number! It doesn't measure who you are or who/what you should be. I'm 50 but my brain thinks it's at least in its 20's (I just can's seem to get my body to cooperate with my brain though). :-) I will see you again in Nashville. I can't wait to see how ya'll have put together the new show. I've lost count on how many of your concerts that I have been to but I always tell folks that they will flat out get their money's worth and then some! I'm counting on that again at this concert. Going to see you is always my cut loose, forget all my worries, PARTY time!!! I always bring along at least one of my kids (I say kids but they are in their 20's) and a couple of my "adopted" kids. At each concert that I have been to, I have at least one Kid Rock "virgin" with me and this time is no exception. There's 4 of us coming, my youngest son, one of his friends, and one of my girl friends. My girl friend is the "virgin". I can't wait to see what she thinks of the concert. Afterward, we are gonna hit Broadway and hoping to catch the after party! Almost found it a few years back at Bayfest in Mobile, AL. We got to meet Stefanie and as a bonus got to meet and get our pic's taken with Bret Michaels! LOVED that!!! Just wish the pic's would of turned out better :-(. For some reason, non of us behind the camera could get our eyeballs to get the pic in focus. LMAO Don't sweat the 40 thing! Like I said above, the number does not define who we are!

I'm so glad you enjoyed your b'day! I didn't get to attend any of your b'day shows, but I have watched them all on youtube and it was like I was there, well not really but it looked like a really good time! I have been to 5 of your shows in PA in the past and YOU ROCK! So I'm sure your b'day bash was awesome! So wish I could've been there! BTW, NICE CAR! That is so awesome that Chevy thought of you on your 40th b'day! I love you and if you could find the time to fit it in your very busy schedule, could you please stop and see us in PA?? Maybe the Bryce Jordan Center in State College, PA, at the Penn State University??? You have SO MANY fans here! Everyone says how awesome it would be if you came here! Keep up the good work KR! and Happy Birthday! Cannot wait to see you again. You are my favorite favorite favorite! and I just bought a fathead of you and I love it! Not to mention all the other stuff I have only cuz I am so totally in love with you. NO I'm not a stalker, I just think you're great!!!!

Being a sixty-one year old, my favorite preformer has always been Elvis. Now I have another-YOU. I have never seen you in concert but I am going to try and get some tickets for one of the concerts you have coming up. Being from Flint Michigan I would love for you to sing once with Mark Farner from Grand Funk Railroad. He is on his own now but he grew up in Flint and I went to high school with him and I love to be loyal to my roots like you do.

Didn't go to the Saginaw show, but I will be at Toledo Wednesday. I've been to 6 of your concerts & never heard Dark & Gray, it's my favorite & would love to hear it live. Can't wait to hear the new stuff live...would like to hear Collide, that's my favorite off the new CD. Y'all never disappoint. Margo

Kid, Happy Birthday! Welcome to 40! No real comments about the show, as I attended the your Birthday at FORD FEILD and it couldn't have been better. I want to let you know that your spirit is incredible and your sense of caring is amazing. You believe in the city of Detroit, and you believe like I believe, that we can make a differance. You have learned the secret that will give you true happiness, and I have learned that KID ROCK is a great guy! HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you! You are a gift to our home of Michigan and we couldn't be more thankful to have you here with us! Rock On Kid, and keep doing what your doing..... Canadian Girl who is proud to call Michigan home now.

Hey Kid! I was at the Detroit Party last week & LOVED it!! Only 2 suggestions. 1. I have 2nd row tickets in Grand Rapids, so if you could spend a more time on the main stage instead of most of the time on the cat walk that would be AWESOME! Not that the back view of you is bad, but it would be nice to see that face of yours too! 2. Play 'Low Life" please & thank you. Everyone loves that song and that is the only song that I really didn't hear that I did want to hear in Detroit. Other than those 2 small things, you killed it in the D & can't wait til Tuesday to see you from the 2nd row in GR!
