Saw Saturday nights show, our seats were excellent!!!!! We were on the right side of the stage, could feel the heat from all the pyros!!! This was the best concert of yours I've seen, the mix of old and new was the best. Only missed " Only God Knows", other than that no complaints!!! See you next time in Saginaw. Thanks KID

Saginaw was great...your song choices awesome. This was the 13th Kid concert for me. I was disappointed that the seats I had were far behind the stage and I couldn't see you or the backdrop. I didn't need to see you to enjoy your music but for me being a part of the party is a big part of the concert. I don't think those seats should have been sold.

It was amazing, at the least! So admire you for not only your show...but for never forgetting your roots and for being dedicated to your hometown, home state and your true beliefs. I took my 14 and 15 year old to the show in Saginaw last night and they were very impressed and had a great time. I have set the bar and expectations high, as this was their first concert and now will have only the best to compare it to! I thought you did a great job and found a nice balance between old and new songs. It would be a nice touch to add just one more song to the encore performance! From a small town Michigan, Class of 89 girl...you have made turning 40 a whole lot more fun! You are welcome to join me in April to help Celebrate.....look me up! lol ....anyway....Happy Belated Birthday and see you Tuesday in GR!!

I was at your show last night in Saginaw and have seen you many many times...this was probably one of my favs!!! I cannot even imagine how difficult it must be for you to decide which songs to do but one of my favs has always been "Only God Knows Why" and haven't seen you do in the last few shows I've been to. It was great to see you go all the way back with "Early Mornin"...like you said "never forget your roots." The show was such a good time and cannot wait for the next one!!! Happy Bday!!

It's me again. Hee, hee...Well, like I said earlier, I am gonna be at your show in Toledo on this coming Wednesday...Want to hear you do "Rock On" sooooo bad, as well as, "Only God Knows Why", then also "Blue Jeans & a Rosary"....Rock On because I feel like you penetrated my very being when you wrote that one, then Only God Knows Why, cuz it is the first tune that drew me to you, and I think so many of us out here can relate to that one, and then, Blue Jeans & a Rosary, cuz it speaks for all of us chicks out here that have ever tried to save a Bad Boy with no success. Good to hear someone had success with that song. Love ya, baby!!!

Went and saw you in Detroit, Saginaw, and here I come Toledo. All shows were great and it is always nice to see you in smaller venue. The band was great as always. If there we mistakes, you covered them well. I don't care so much about the songs you play, as it is always a good show. I did miss "In Times Lke These. (Must be the Detroiter in me). You look even better at 40! See you Wednesday, south of the border!

My wife and I were there last night and it was an awesome show. We were right next to the stage. We walked away agreeing that it was the best show we've ever seen. We've even seen you at DTE when we lived in Clarkston. The move to lower the price of your beer was a great move and showed you can relate. If I had to dig and nitpick, I'd ask that you play more than one song during the encore, maybe Devil without a Cause or Son of Detroit would have been awesome. On a side note, we both got another Kid T-Shirt, but I would have liked to got a Made in Detroit shirt as well and I didn't see any... Awesome Show and Great Job!! Jeff in Freeland

Only 47 days more till you arrive in Jackson, Mississippi. I can't wait this will be the 4th time I have gotten the privilege of seeing you play. All the songs would be wonderful there is nothing I would not love to hear the only thing to make it better would be to actually get to meet you. This would be one Happy Old Lady (44) and truly I am not sure life happens till your 40's. Because the kids are really old enough not to worry so much about them and you get to worry about yourself a little more. You find you again! Can't wait for you to get here and all the song choices you make will be perfect. I know you don't have a bad song!! Rock Bottom Blues and Purple Sky are my favorites from this CD. No they are all wonderful as usual. Thank you so much for sharing your music with us.

Well let me start out by saying you are just cool! My husband and I live in Riverview and went to the your Birthday bash which was absolutely amazing! We also went to the saturday show in Saginaw as well. With that being said, in regards to the Saginaw show we thought the stage was great, as far as songs played we really wished you would have played "Times Like These" and also the full version of "Amen". O yea my husband would like to see more of the pole dancers..LOL. Other than that you guys did a fantastic job. Btw we are having more fun in our 40's than we ever did in our 30's..so enjoy and take care you guys are great....keep doing what your doing!

Thank you Kid for being willing to play in Saginaw. It is a small venue, but one of my favorite places to go to your concerts. We are from Bay City and brought some first timers who are a bit older. They said it was the best show they had ever seen. I agree. I am a year younger than you, but have been to almost 100 concerts and you are #1. That's a compliment considering that one of my concerts was Seger. Your positive message in regards to our great country, your appreciation that we can buy your tickets, and your ability to entertain make you a star. People notice! :-) The only song we missed was Lowlife at Saturday's show. The crowd loves that one. One last comment...the opening song to Journey is always awesome, and the video clips were great as well! Rock ON!

I went to your Saturday night show in Saginaw, Michigan, and YOU ROCKED!!! Thank you for a GREAT show and we hope to see you come back again! You played a great mixture of all of your songs and we loved every minute of it. Keep on ROCKIN'! I also saw you walking around out past the beer and shirt lines just looking at the crowd before the concert. I thought about saying hi and asking to get my picture with you, but no one else noticed you out walking around and I didn't want to make everyone come at you all at once.

This was my first time going to one of your concerts and it was amazing! I was right in front of the catwalk where you spent a lot of the evening. Only song I wanted to hear but you didn't play was Only God Knows Why. I loved all the songs you did play though so no complaints there. I hope to see you in concert again soon. It was the best concert I've ever been to.

I went to the Detroit concert.....and you ROCKED IT OUT!! Although I love all of your songs, if you are looking to omit a few, I would say omit the songs from Stoned Pimp era (but I did love the outfit worn in that set) LOL!!! Definately keep the newer songs and keep the more popular songs on the Devil without a Cause album. The best part of your concert is the way you interact with the crowd, and keep them involved and energized. And LOVE how you always throw your roots from Michigan into the mix.......I say do it even when you are in Ohio!! LOL......Go Green and Go Blue!! Love you, Kelly

I went to the Sat. Ford Field concert, but was pushed down the stairs by some drunk chick, missed the whole thing. Seven stiches at Henry Ford. I heard it was awesome:(

Was in Saginaw last night. FANTASTIC!! Great from beginning to end.My son in law has set your Michigan shows for years. He was on spot light last night. Say hey, Mark. Loved the mix of old and new. Not a boring minute. Would like to hear Goin to New Orleans sometime.(that"s just me) Laughed my ass off when you came out with the lit up pimp suit and lawn chair. I saw the Beatles at Olympia in Detroit, seen Jimi Hendrix, and the Rolling Stones (yeah-I'm THAT old), but YOU are the ENTERTAINER!! Loved the videos, the pyro and lights. Your band kicks ass! Back up singers are great (Nice to see you give us thick girls a chance), but man oh man the pipes on Jess. Perfect blend of you and her. This is only my third show, but God willing will see many more.(have a brain anyeurism).Rock and Roll Pain Train still my all-time favorite. Truly a show for EVERYONE. My daughters, granddaughters and I have went to see you together. (3 generations of ROCK fans). Loved the bar set.LOVE the fact you can make fun of yourself and that you have compassion for the plight of the troops and downtrodden. If I was 30 years younger(I'm 63) You would really learn what a stalker truly is. I would have had your ass years ago.LOL Take care of yourself and keep being YOU! Don't let the bastards get you down..take that advice from an old lady.Once again-FANTASTIC. Class act from beginning to end.
