Hi there Kid, I wasn't at the Saginaw shows, but am going to be at your show in Toledo this coming Wednesday. From what I read that others wrote here that were at the other shows, you put on a fantastic show. Someone wrote they wish you would have done "Rock On". Well...I hope you will sing it at the Toledo show because that song penetrates my very spirt, heart and soul. Almost like you could read right into my very being when you wrote that song. Would love to hear you sing it live. Love everything you do though and everything about ya.

Wasting time is a must. You have always been good at integrating songs, would be cool to hear a mix of a few songs in one, just to hear them. That way we hear many songs and you can fit them all in. Rock on.

I was there Friday night in Saginaw, AWESOME show, loved the mix of songs. The only song that you didn't play that I wanted to hear was "In Times Like These". Keep coming back to Saginaw, we love you. :)

We attended our 8th KR concert Friday night (also were @ Ford Field) with several of our friends who had never seen one of your live performances before.......they are hooked! Honestly, I do not have any suggestions as to how to make it any better, you are simply the best! Please do not change your honesty, energy, love our our fabulous country, humility, and variety. Now just praying you plan to end the tour back in Michigan somewhere and we would be able to get tickets again to see you. Forever thankful to be fortunate enough to see your shows!!!

For starters, you shoulda took your shirt off :P like you did at your fucken 40 b-day party! And, you should do For the First Time (in a long time), Only God knows Why and Lonely Road of Faith! Seen you 5 times, and not that your predictable, but you kinda do the same songs....(nice tone) love that you finally do Sugar..

Thank YOU!!! It was GREAT!! It always is - you are the BEST!! It wouldn't matter if it was just you and the guitar I would listen to you 24/7! My all time favorite tho is "Lonely Road of Faith" but I listen to it everyday :) I hope you add another show at the end of the tour up north?? PLEASE!!!!! Rock On!!

I wasn't able to attend, but love anything you do - 40 is good, you're still a youngster - I'm like the Grandma on U-tube - love you and rock around the house to all your CD's - hope you make it back to CT or NY - saw you last Valentine's day at Mohegan Sun. Your Born Free album is fantastic. Brenda

Always always always play Cocky! Heard that song, fell in love, went to the East Center in Philly to see you play with Run DMC and Aerosmith and then was hooked and have seen you 10 times since!! You rock! Love you!!!!!

I would like to start off with a Thank You for another awesome show. We were at the Friday night show and honestly there isn't anything that you could do to make it better. I have never walked away from a Kid Rock show wishing something was different. You (and the Twisted Brown Truckers) have an amazing energy! The mix of songs is done well, as you said too many to choose from is a good problem. All of your music old and new is great to hear. The way you genuinely care about your fans comes through in your performance. The stage setup was Badass as always with great effects! Been drinkin' our Badass beer and celebratin' all weekend that we were fortunate enough to the get the chance to see you again. Thinkin' about going down to New Orleans for the Jazz festival to see you again. Was there in 2001 WAY COOL! You headlining would just make it over the top. One word your show, AMAZING!!!!!

Went to the Friday night show and it was amazing, missed the b'day bash at Ford Field. The one song I wished I heard was "Times Like These", but really can't complain, I thought it was a great show. One thought, have an all day concert and play everything, lol. Keep up the great work and your band is amazing as well. Hope to see you at DTE this summer : ). One of your biggest fans, Sue from Royal Oak.

omg..we can't wait for Grand Rapids!! I need to tell you my story!! My husband loves you....I drug him to Bon Jovi this summer in Chi-town and we both ended up thinking it was the worst concert ever. If it wasn't for you it would have been a total waste of $. We got him tickets for christmas and he cried like a baby.......He just found out the day before that he needs to get a heart transplant and is really worried about dying and leaving behind our 13 year old son. Born Free is like his song of life....we all cry everytime we listen to it!!! He told me that is all that is left on his bucket list is to see you!!! You have been an inspiration to our entire family!! thank you so much!!! I wish you could have seen his face when we gave the tickets on christmas morning, That was the best christmas he has ever had. To top the cake my son just broke his leg so now I have to figure out how to get 2 wheelchairs to our seats!! My husband has dreams everynight about you coming out of the crowd and smoking a cigar with him.....we cant wait!!! our seats are T34-36...I hope they are good . We wanted to get seats on the floor so bad but knew it would be impossiable for him to see not to mention the saftey. Rock it Kid...we love you!!!

I wasn't fortunate enough to go to either of the shows so I don't have any feedback but I would love to see you! I am fortunate enough to live in the Northwest (Sandpoint, Idaho) we go and see you when ever you are close (usually Spokane, Washington) we are waiting impatiently for you to announce the next leg of your tour! When will that be?

We attended Friday's show. It was one of my Christmas presents and I have to say that our seats were pretty good for being near the side ramp of the stage. I got some great pics thanks to having 10x zoom on my camera. :) Like the others I liked the mix of old and new. From where I was sitting, it was F'in hot from the pyro! My husband said it was one of the best concerts he has been to and that's from a Pink Floyd fan. You definately keep getting better with age;-) We saw you five yrs ago and this one was phenomenal. Happy Birthday and keep on rockin! Looking forward to seeing you again. I was born in downriver Detroit and lived in Taylor, Wyandotte and Detroit as a kid so when I hear you talk about those places, it brings back memories. I am glad that I live so close to Saginaw so I can see you at the Dow. Maybe I can post a couple pics from the concert. You just can't please everyone all the time so just keep doing what you're doing and FFFF what everyone thinks. You are an amazing person and love the fact that you are so loyal to your roots and don't forget where you came from. A friend works in and around Clarkston and says he always sees you cruisin around town when you're home chillaxin. Loved the F'in Forty song but can't find it anywhere. Keep being who you are and doing what you do! Love You!

I didn't attend the Saginaw concerts, but was able to catch you at Ford's Field. It was your best performance yet. I have seen you at Boyne Mountain (would like to see another show there this fall if you can fit it in), Chicago's Soldiers Field (with Bon Jovi, but went wasn't there to see BJ), Pine Knob, and Ft Jackson. I am sure that I will catch another show before the end of the year...would love to hear The Midwest Fall and Rock On. Was hoping to see Bob Segar at your concert bash, that would have been great. I would like to thank you for supporting the military as much as you do. I retired almost 3 years ago, so that I could move back to Michigan to be close to family and friends. It was rough at first finding a job, but was able to get a job with the railroad as a trackworker (down side is I am always on the road, but atleast blessed that I have a job). I have always told people that "I was born in Michigan and I will die in Michigan", was kind of cool to hear you say the same thing. Thanks again for a great start to a new year and enjoy your 40th "Old Man"... atleast your not friggin 42... Max

Kid, The folks in my car club said I could never get you to join our Camaro Club on Facebook. I told them I could get you on there. I am active duty military as many of our members are or are retired. I would love for you to like Camaro South and prove them wrong. You would be the first celeb to join us. We are a non-profit group of Camaro enthusiasts who raise money for good causes. We have an upcoming event called Camaros for Heroes that will benefit the Wounded Warrior Foundation. I believe we are the kind of organization that you could appreciate. We would love your support for our club. It would be such an honor to have you on our facebook. I know I am asking a lot but it would mean so much. Thanks so much for all you do for the community and the awesome music that just rocks! Happy birthday KR and what an awesome 40th birthday gift. You still rock it out like you are in your 20's! ~William~

I always love to hear you play piano and sing "Only God Knows Why". I also miss hearing you sing Heaven with Kracker.

I was at both shows and I don't see where you could change much of anything. You are so wonderful at what you do and look like you have such a great time up there on stage, you make it feel like a real party not a concert! I think all your songs are pretty damn awsome so whatever you mix in will still keep the audience rocking. Just keep it real and keep doing what you are doing and I will keep spending the all might dollar to come watch you rock out!

I was at Ford Field & Saginaw, LOVED BOTH shows! It was great to hear "Sugar", miss hearing "So Hott", but like you said, there's too many to choose from. It looks awesome when you all come out in white for R&RJ, nice touch. You put on the best live show I've ever seen which is why I will be in TOLEDO to see you again this week. Thanks for working your ass off to give your fans an amazing show every damn time!

Bob, Wished Bo, Luke, Daisy, Cooter, enos and Hank would have been at your birthday bash singing "Good Ole Boys"! I love the Dukes just as much as you! :) Kim

Glad you're still playing a lot of older songs. The show was great. I was really hoping to hear Purple Sky.

I was there last night... don't change a thing! Thanks for a fantastic show... haven't felt that good in a long time:)

Good Morning Rob, I didn't make the Saginaw show, but I did make your Ford Field Birthday Bash, and what a Bash it was. Fantastic show. That was my first Kid Rock concert and it won't be my last. I wish I hadbetter seats for my sister's brithday but the screens where like we were up close and personal. I told my sister in Nashville & her husband that they should go to your show when you're there. They told me your home was across the road from theirs, in nashville. I hope in your travels you get to meet or have met Peter McCann in Nashville, he is married to a friend of mine from high school!!! Wonderful man. Thank you for the great night January 15, 2011 a night I will never forget. Love ya Kid, you are a wonderful humanitarian, and we love you for loving our home town so much and all you do for us.
