I went to the Detroit show and it was fantastic. I traveled from Two Rivers Wisconsin which was a 9 hour drive. It was my first time traveling to lower Michigan/Detroit. I still have a hard time with all the devistation I saw in Detroit. I guess coming from a small town you become a little blind to that. I have seen the movies and heard the stories, but never imagined it was as bad as it was. I think its great everything you do for Detroit and the State of MI. I hope someday I am in a situation where I can help somehow. The show was great, and I am sure the rest will be also. I will be honest, I have been a Kid Rock fan for a very, very long time when hip hop was cool. But I really think I like the country/rock Kid Rock the best. Songs such as Amen, All Summer Long, and Born Free have to be some of the best. If you keep your shows real and true they will all be great!

I have to wait until March 14 for the concert in Houston! I was very excited and surprised you were coming to the rodeo. Very glad I thought we would have to wait until June or July for you to come to the woodlands pavillion. Hopefully you will come to Houston twice, love to see you at the pavillion!

Please DO NOT EVER EVER have any more concerts at Comerica or Ford Field in Detroit. If you knew what the fans went through getting to and getting through your concert you would never want that for them.

WOW... ask and you shall receive!!! LOL I love when you have the guitar riffing a different song (e.g. "Forever" from the birthday bash, or "Wasting Time" from last year) You should def. keep doing that with some of your older rap stuff to keep it fresh. Would love to hear you do a cover of "You'll Accompny Me" from Seger. The acoustic opening to that song reminds me of the acoustic opening to "Amen" I have no doubt that you and TBT could do that song some justice! Maybe mash the 2 together, that would be kick ass!

I was at the 40th birthday party at Ford Field and it was, for lack of a better word...awesome!!! It was the most fun, danced the whole night The concert was perfect nothing should have been different except me taking Cheryl Crow's place dancing with you :) You put on an excellent show, thanks for sharing your talents with us!!!

Our family went to the Friday night show in Saginaw. The set was one of the most creavtive and well thought out stages that I have ever witnessed. Shows the true feelings of Kid Rock and what he enjoys. With this being a smaller venue no one should have been disappointed in their seats. With being 7 rows off the floor at end of cat walk I could see all of his facial expressions and laughter as he delighted the crowd. Those seats have now spoiled me. The songs were perfect, after all he gave us over two hours of not stop music. No way can you cover everything that we love as we would be there til the next morning. We loved the mixup of old and new it was great. If you change anything that is your choice as you have many great songs. Happy as can be with the whole experience. Everything was the best that we could ask for. Thank you for the great show. You are the American Bad Ass!

I am a new KR fan - at age 48 better late than never. Your concert Friday Night in Saginaw was awesome! My favorite rocker performance (until now) had been Peter Wolf /J. Geils, back in the day! You are now #1! You bring/share great energy and attitude! As for song selection, I have (within the last month) bought my first KR cd's - (Cocky, RR Jesus, Born Free). I would have liked to hear So Hot! I have enjoyed your evolution (my favorites are the last two). I really like your musicality and your poetry. As for the show, I really liked the way you extended the stage - not just out to the front, but to the sides too! It helps connect you to the fans more! I was impressed when you played all the instruments. I would have loved to have been introduced to the main band members during the show! Th pyro was phenomenal! I really liked that you opened the show with your gratitude to the fans! Anyone can say those words, but the energy you put into the show displays that gratitude. I became of fan of the man first - when I read about your commitment to Detroit and Michigan! I love that you give back to your community in many different ways! Thank you for that! I love the Born Free video! There's nothing like the beauty of this state especially the Pictured Rocks. Thanks to you and your band for a great performance and lots of fun on Friday! Keep Rockin'.

Saturday Night show was Great! First show I've ever attended at the Dow Ctr., wish it was a little louder. But what do I know about sound, right! Loved that you shared some personal stuff like the pic's. Nice to know that you are still keeping it REAL and remember what it was like to be an "average joe" wondering what the "famous guy" looked like back then!! I liked that you gave that inof to us and I didn't have to go snooping on some website, right. LOVED, LOVED the wardrobe changes and little things that reflected who you are and not what we all think you ought to be. Enough from me-Happy B'day (remember, things really do get better w/age, I promise) Great job this past Saturday, and Thanks, I really do appreciate all your hard work - XO

I heard from friends that your shows in Saginaw were just awesome! I would have went if my work schedule didn't interfere. I was parked outside Staples in Saginaw today, and someone looking just like you got out of a tour bus and walked right next to my truck. Was it you? My girlfriends Father says no, but I think otherwise. Please let me know. Thanks, Jeff Mossner

Happy Birthday! And Thank You for your recent son Born Free. I'm from Michgian, but 'm in the Army and Stationed at Ft. Riley, KS. I'm heading to Afghanistan in a couple months and this video will be going with me. I miss Michigan so much and this video gives me a little bit of home while I'm away.

Damn I wish I had gone to your birthday bash! I'm a HUGE fan and live in the northwest, so I have not seen you since September (in Puyullap). I'm sure the show is awesome...always are. I've been to many of your shows and never been disappointed. Looking forward to March...I will be seeing you in Florida! I would like to see you book some shows in the west...you have so many fans that are missing out!

Love that you are looking for input. The setlists for Detroit and Saginaw look awesome. I am attending on Friday in Columbus. I grew up in Redford, MI but now live in central Ohio. I am a little surprised that "Times Like These" or "The Midwest Fall" aren't included in the set. They both are great songs that reflect the current economic reality of Detroit and other midwestern American cities. You have really struck a chord with those songs (no pun intended). I really like "Purple Sky" from the new album as well. I mean to pay you a great compliment when I say the lyrically and musically you have become the "new school Seger." We will all stay and ride it out "because you are so beautiful..."

Hey Kid, I wasn't able to attend your show. I was out of town, but I just wanted to say that I enjoy your music. Im 50 years old and I grew up in Detroit and now I live in Bay City, MI. If you ever get back up in this neck of the woods, give me a call. Not sure if you like to fish or not, but I just like taking the fishing poles down to the river, throwing in a line and having a beer and relaxing. Steve Bonds

We attended the concert in Saginaw...I wouldn't change a thing. Thank you for a great performance. The setup of the stage there allowed everyone to get a view no matter where you sat. I have never been to a concert where the main act played almost two hours. I am glad I was able to get tickets for my husband's birthday on Saturday. Happy Birthday to you to as well.

Did'nt make to either show in Sagnasty but did see you at your 40th birthday bash. It was one of the best shows I seen you put on. The only other one I can compare it to was the show you did superbowl weekend in the "Big D' back in 2005. I have seen you between 10 and 15 times and will continue to go to your shows as you are hands down the best entertainer I have ever seen. As far as the song selections you do a pretty awesome job. I loved you dipping into the archives for the Detroit show. The old stuff is where it's at. Remember your roots and what got you where you are today. Your Born free album is OK but I like the rap/ryme/heavy stuff that you are known for. I did happen to notice that when you played your new stuff the bathrooms and concessions got more business. I love your drummer for me she is one of the highlights of your shows. I love the way she beats them damn drums.The best way i can describe her is "Angry" when she is playing.She knows how to throw down at a kid rock party for sure. Awesome show,Awesome tour, and hoping to see you in Tuesday in G.R. Rock on!

We were at the Ford Field show and Saginaw on Friday. We really enjoyed both. The stage set up in Saginaw was great. Love the bull horns. We would have like to have heard So Hott and Times Like These. I was really surprised that in Detroit Times Like These wasn't played. The song is about the city and I assume for the city. The crowd loved it at Pine Knob in the fall. My wife and I decided that we are going to catch a show in another city on the tour. We may make the trip from Detroit to Nashville!
