I hope to see you at the after party in GR!! Would be incrediable to meet you. My husband would ablsoutly love it. We have both been huge fans of your for a number of years. Even our 5yr old son is a huge fan. You are his favortie signer! Every chance he has he is listening to your music. He says he wants to grow up just like you...oh and of course on his days off play football :) I would love to give him something special from his favorite signer, his birthday is May 15th...Any possiblty on that?!

We were at the show Friday in Saginaw. LOVE IT! We will never miss a live show from you again. You are an amazing performer. Would have loved to hear "Times like These" but I can't think of anything I would have replaced it with. Thank you for playing in Saginaw since living in northern Michigan it is hard to get to Detroit for a show. After going to see this we have become even BIGGER KID ROCK fans. You are an inspiration and your love of what you do shines through in your performances. Keep Rockin'!

The Saginaw show was awesome! I haven't missed a tour in about 10 year and I have to say that this one is on par with the rest. The catalog is huge now, but you did a great job with song selection. The best selection was EMSP! I like your old school stuff, so that was awesome to hear. Great energy, great show & a great time had by all! See you this summer!!!

We were at Saginaw on Friday and the Birthday Bash. The Birthday Bash was "over the top" phenominal. We took our 10 yr old son to Saginaw and he was amazed and overwhelmed being his first concert and you are his favorite! He asked if all your concerts are like that and I have to say they all are amazing. I did think you seemed a bit off at the beginning of the concert on Fri. compared to Ford Field. You almost looked like you hadn't recovered from the celebration all week. The set was awesome, the stage setup, pyrotechnics, lasers, the TBTB, you always aim to please! I agree with others with the Picture song getting old, switch it up with Collide. Times like these is such a great song and we can all relate. Definitely do Cocky. And emphasize some attention to Steph, Jess, Shannon and the rest of your band. They need credit where credit is due. Thanks as always, for an amazing performance, hoping for a Pine Knob Party this summer!!! Take care and stay well!

THANK YOU!!!! THANK YOU!!!! THANK YOU!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ My husband and I were at the Detroit show and Saginaw show on friday...AWESOME!!!! Both shows were incredible!!! We appreciate the low ticket prices. Both shows sounded great and had a great mix of songs. The only thing I would suggest is to switch "Picture" for "Times like these"...love both songs...but if I had my choice, it would be "Times like these". We have been to many, many of your concerts and the last 2 were the best we have ever seen!!! Your energy and smile are amazing! We are saving up our $$ to go on the cruise next year ( there will be a next year right??!!!) Pretty much..."IT STINKS IN HERE..CUZ YOUR THE SHIT!!!" AND @ "STONED WIMP SAYS" FROM 3 HOURS AGO...DUMB DUMB DON'T TEST THE BOSS!!!!

:-/ Hm ... I wasnt at any of the Saginaw's Shows, but made the Trip to D to celebrate YOUR Birthday40feelslike39bash, which was totally awesome! I too think, that you should play what ever you are in the mood for... sure certain songs and things shouldnt be missing. I am not sure, how much the stage set up for the regular Gigs differs from the Birthdaybash, but the LitUpPimpDaddyOutfit was awesome.... it still amazes me how someone actually can spin records on the turntable, scratch, poor and drink at the same time...so that got to stay. You can set up a pretty fixed set list, and always do some medleys of your songs maybe set up as a quick diary/ tour through your records...??!!! Anyways what ever you do....just stay in the kid rockity spirit you have.... I only saw you twice, shame on me :-(, but those times I saw you life, especially during your D-Birthday-Bash, one could see, how much you enjoy what you do and thats a must to bring to all of these shows, please!!! I too hope, that we ll get a Bornfree Tour this year - so come over the big pond, Europe with all of your friends here, is waiting for you!!!!! :-)

Awesome show!! How you can go like you do for so long is amazing. Did miss some of you songs from your Cocky and Kid Rock CD's. Wish I could have gone Fri instead of Sat because I heard you did some of them Fri, but with so many great songs how do you choose. Thank you for still coming to Saginaw. It means alot. Hope you come back to Saginaw again. Thank you too for the unbelievable show. You are a great entertainer with a big heart!

Bob, I was at both Saginaw shows as well as your birthday bash and here's some feedback: - Stage set up is fantastic. Love, love, love it! Especially the Piano for Born Free. - My favorite was the lit up fur coat and going old school with Early Morning Stone Pimp, that's a must for the show. Sorry the dollar back drop didn't drop on Saturday. It would be nice to do Yo-da-lin in the Valley like you did at the birthday bash. Everyone around me went crazy when you did it that night. - I really missed Lowlife from the set on Saturday. Great high energy song. - Thought I would miss the "Kiiiid" "Rock Rock" with the crowd that you did Friday and not Saturday, but was ok without it. It's a staple at one of your shows, but honestly was ok not doing it. - The other thing you did differently is you signature "Cat Scratch Fever" set where you play all the instruments. I love when you do that as it showcases your many talents, but... I'm surprised to say I enjoyed Saturday's spinning much better without Cat Scratch Fever. - Absolutely enjoy Rock'n Roll Jesus. It's fine to let the crowd settle for a moment while the set is changing. Gives everyone a chance to rev up for more rockin' and to enjoy some bad ass beer! - I'll get flack for saying this, but it may be time to hang up doing "Picture". I know it's a big hit, but time to make room for "Collide" or use the time for "Times Like These". I think there were a few other differences between Friday and Saturday, but can't think of them now. Did you not do Purple Sky Saturday? That's my brain from not drinking Friday to drinking on Saturday. ha. If so, need to do it. Love that song . Finally, you did seem a bit more sassy on Saturday compared to Friday. ;) Thank you for the amazing shows. I don't think you're capable of a bad performance! You'll never know how much this last year of performances has meant to me, giving me something to look forward to in bad times. Fuck Cancer! See you on the Boat. - Michele

Hey Bob, happy 40 again from one who's going to be 40 later this year! Good to hear it feels like being 39! Sadly I haven't been able to see you in concert but I hope you'll also come to europe this tour. My tip for you is just to enjoy your time onstage and play songs you're in the mood to play that night. Take care, Renate from Germany

Was at both Saginaw shows as well as others in the past. A few more technical mishaps Sat night (bill flag, chandelier, T.I. video). I like how Amem -> Rock & Roll Jesus flowed Saturday night, love the white sheet silhouette intro, think the first time I saw that was on the cruise. The interwoven vide/audio works well and flowed well with the vibe of the concert. Great to see Sugar being played, it’s a awesome tune. You scaled back on the instrument playing Saturday night. I thought limiting it to the turntables was perfect but first timers always get a kick out of you jamming with all the instruments. Would have liked to hear perennial favorites Son of Detroit or Cocky, but understand you can only play so much. A couple tunes from the self titled Kid Rock CD would be cool, like Hillbilly Stomp, Cadillac Pussy or Feel Like Makin’ Love. I did hear a few fans who were bummed that So Hott wasn’t played. I found you and TBT much more engaged with the crowd than at the Detroit B-day bash. Need to give TBT their due, introduce them as they are awesome musicians. Of the 30+ shows we have been to, the Saginaw shows are in the top five based on songs, pyro (very cool to see this make a return), engagement with crowd, tempo and energy. The stage is well detailed providing a good number of visuals to check out. Looking forward to the cruise and hopefully tour stops at Pine Knob this summer.

Don't over think the show man, thats where alot of good shows start going downhill..Alot of People spend money they dont have for tickets to the concert, so give em some freebies or something. Do something to make folks feel like your one of them and not just concerned with paddin the wallet. Being the "little guy" has opened alot of doors for me because they feel safer knowing im not the corporate giant.Just because corporate is funding the show sure dont mean anyone has to share their attitude right.I havent been to your show yet but did have the pleasure of promoting some of your peeps when i was pushing sales for The Reed and Dickinson Band, amazing artist, the label , not so much, haha. "Roll On" man "Roll On"

My Birthday was last week and my present is going to your concert with my hubby on Tuesday in GR. I can't wait to hear the new songs from Born Free! This is my first KR concert, I can't wait! It will rock. I love all of your songs and duets.

AWESOME-AWESOME-AWESOME!! Saturday night was my first concert. Did see you in Chicago opening for Bon Jovi and thought that was great so was really looking forward to a full concert. It was a great performance!! Loved the pyro, lights and everything. Most people stand there and sing but you know how to entertain a crowd and many other people need to learn that.

Hard to match Forty Field but a great show as always. Missed Purple Sky and Collide. The pyro and elevated piano was sweet. Nice move on the $7 beers! Have a safe tour!

No, Thank YOU Kid! I go to your show yearly. The show at Ford Field was awesome! What made it so great was the mixture of songs you sang. You seem to outdo yourself every year. Congrats!!! Thanks for such a fabulous time and your effort to keep ticket prices low is very admirable and appreciated!
