    Thank you for all the birthday wishes! 40 feels just like 39, lol....anyway.... Anyone who attended the first two shows in Saginaw, MI, the band and me would love to hear your input....what ya liked, what ya thought we could of done without, songs you liked or songs we didnt play you would like to hear. Workin are asses off to try and fine tune this show, its tough with so many songs to pick from! guess it's a "good problem", either way any input is appreciated and noted! thx.

I attended the show in detroit and it was the best show by far I have seen you guys play. I would have to say keep doing what you guys do best and don't change anything.

I was at the Saturday show...hands down...the most entertaining show I have ever been to!! And I have been to a few!! I liked how you did some old and some new, for those of us who have been fans for years. LOVED the pictures of you growing up and what songs were hot in those years. Loved how energetic you are on stage. You can REALLY tell that you seriously LOVE what you do, and we definitely benefit from that. Thank you so much for coming to Saginaw, and especially for adding the second show, as I could not get tickets to Friday's show. I got to talk about the show to a co-worker today so it was fun re-living it!!!! Thank you and keep it up!! We LOVE YOU!!!!

Hey Kid, just wanted to say how much I loved the show Saturday night. It literally was Bad Ass!! From the country bar stage, to the lighted up pimp coat, to the rock and roll revival and the rising piano at the end it was def. a great time. Absolutely loved how you played Rock On!! I was so worried you wouldnt play it lol The set list was amazing but the only songs I wish i could have seen were 'Only God Knows Why' 'Blue Jeans & a Rosary' and 'Purple Sky' (LOVE that song! you def. haveta release it as a single and do a video for it!!) Also missed So Hott but im pretty sure Fucking Forty covered for that missing track haha Also Ty Stone did a great job as an opening act, wish he could have played a little longer though. Once again completely loved the show Kid and hope you return very soon. Keep flying high dude and god bless!

I was at the Saturday show at the Dow and have to say "Thank you!" for lowering the price of Bad Ass Beer for the night (and I've passed on apologies to my friends who were at the Friday show). I've seen you a few times now, and as usual, the show rocked! We had great seats in row 12 and were REALLY happy to see the stage extend out as far as it did! I did miss "So Hot", but cranked that one up on my way out of the parking garage. I also loved "Freakin 40", but I think I was the only one around me who knew all the words:) Thanks for coming to Saginaw. We really, truly appreciate you coming and lifting us up for the night. I'm still riding high on Monday!

Your love for your fans, your love of music, and your wonderful energy make every show a good one Bob!! As long as you keep some of your older music in your shows for us old timers, it's all good. You always do a great job of showing your "American Badass" side as well as your softer "Only God Knows Why" side. Just keep on being YOU cuz that's what us fans really love!! Please do a show at Boyne this year... that's always my favorite!

My husband and I where able to visit you in Detroit from The Netherlands to celebrate your birthday with you and the show was AWESOME! I wish it was possible for everyone to see you perform Collide with Sheryl Crow. You guys rock and are a match made in Heaven (what are you waiting for, go get here)! Hope you'll have a safe and, above all, great tour and hope you'll stop by The Netherlands sometime soon!

The Saginaw show was awesome, however where we sat, we couldn't see your set, and saw your back the whole time, like I said, still the show was ROCKIN'! The seats in the stadium that are behind your back shouldn't be sold because there wasn't even a screen to watch. Keep it Rockin and Happy Belated Birthday!!!

I wasn't in Saginaw, but the Birthday Bash and I gotta say, my favorite part of the entire thing besides watching the KID was the older music. Boy, there are some goodies. Keep playing them! Mandi from the D!

I definitely think you should've added the song SO HOTT to the setlist. That's a good one that never gets enough attention. I attended two shows in the last week, your bday party at ford field and the show in Saginaw on Saturday. As always, it's cool as a DJ to watch you spin on the tables but I also think it's awesome when you walk around stage and play EVERY instrument in the band. You didn't do that at the Saginaw show but you did at Ford Field - you should definitely do that every time. Also, Born Free is a great song but I think you should close the show out with more of a bang for your encore. Other than that, AWESOME show and it seems like every time you perform it gets better and better. I've seen you 3 times now, and each time is better than the last for sure.

I can hardly stand the wait to see you in Dayton this weekend. Been planning for months and making it a 2 day event with me and my girls- Hotel is booked, booze is chilled, limo is scheduled and I'm packed and ready to go....we are gonna live this girls retreat up right. It's ALL good. Saw you two summers ago in Cincinnati w/ Skynard -- hadn't been back to that arena since they played with Hank. You were amazing, havent been able to function right since.... lol. I was able to make it front and center and got some pretty fantastic photos from that night.

I have to say it's so cool that you are asking the fans for feed back about shows I guess it's just another reason for why I'm so kid rock crazy! Im loving the new American Baddass start that song will always be one of the best to hear live, every show Iv been to that song rocks the house! I think you guys are doing a great job of keeping the tour feeling fresh. I think by cutting out the strippers an fireworks for last few years now makes them look so much more now that there back. I have always enjoyed 3 sheets to the wind but do miss the rapping at the start. I like watching u play all the instruments but would be cool to see u do that in another song. The medley you guys did of old kid rock tunes at the birthday bash was awesome and as a long time fan I have to say it so cool to see these songs being played in 2011! I would love to see u guys do medleys in all your shows maybe even changing the songs for other older songs it a great way to surprise us fans an let us hear some old favourites. SUGAR is a great song live an like others have commented i too would like it to be a regular in the set. EMSP has been great to see back in the set an with the lights on the pimp suit it's a sick flash from the past! If I could pick just one song that would blow me away to hear live it would have to be Roving Gangster (Rollin') for years I wanted to hear this live an have never had any luck finding an old video or mp3 it seems to be the only song off DWAC never played which is a shame because it's my all time favourite!! My pick for old pre DWAC songs would be... 1. Balls in your mouth 2. Desperado 3. Prodigal son Recent songs I would like are... 1. Dark an grey 2. Fuck you blind 3. Abortion 4. Midnight Train to Memphis 5. Cold and empty I could go on an on but the simple fact is I love them all so keep doing what you guys do best. I will be looking forward to hearing it live. Rock on!!!

Hey Kid, The true fans that love music and you as an artist won't give a shit what you play because it's all good. You're never going to please everyone. My only advice is to keep Joe C's name alive and keep playing a small part of a big man on each set. I really missed seeing the video of him and hearing "3 foot 9 with a 10 foot dick" Kee[ Joe C's name alive.....espcially for the new fan base. Thanks and as always and as expected..... your show was awesome.

Hey Kid and TBT band i'm planning on attending the show on march 5th at the UCF arena in orlando... can't wait! I would like to make a couple request for you to play "When it Rains", off your new album. It's my favorite song off the album and I love the passion of that song...tremendous. I hope you play "Lowlife"... my favorite song off "Rock n' Roll Jesus", and the last song i would like to request is "New Orleans". I've been to 4 of your concerts so far and I've never heard you play that song, that would be such a great song for TBT to jam out to. If you could play these songs it would be awesome, if you can't i won't be dissapointed i love all your songs. Thanks Kid and TBT, keep rockin' in the 'born free' world, Kid Rock..... FOREVER!!!

Would love to hear 'Only God Knows Why' at the Bossier City show. This song is why I started listening to Kid Rock's music in the first place. Three years and five months ago, my accident left me in a wheelchair. Kid Rock's music has been my hero. This is what I listen to while doing my therapy exercises. Recently started to walk again. My dream was to dance with Kid Rock himself. I would love to meet the man that has inspired me to go forward in life. There have been days that pulled me down. All I had to do was turn on my music and hear Kid's voice. You touched my inner soul and heart. I'm hoping for the chance to thank you personally.

I first have to say I have never seen you LIVE in concert.. I plan to if you are touring anytime after april.. However, I am going off from what I have seen and hear from youtube when people post parts of your concert there. I notice that you have a great introduction and a GREAT ending to your shows from what I have seen and not to mention all the in between stuff...As you know it never shows every song you sing, but I would say if you haven't sang COLD & EMPTY that would be a great song to add into one of your shows.. Far as not liking anything? Well I liked everything I was able to view from youtube and I must say some people posted some really good footage of your concerts....I know its not like being there live, but it made me feel by watching it I was in the audience right along with the other fans of yours. But that's not enough for me, so I must say /sometime after April I will fly to one of your shows, as I live in Washington state lol.. I think you put on a a excellent stage performance , making sure you move all around from one side to another and down the cat walk and lookin to both sides and up into the audience acknowledging your fans!!! THATS NUMBER 1 WITH ANY ARTIST in my eyes.. Making the fans feel they are important and you do a great job doing so.. I can't complain .. I think you did a wonderful job performing.. I also noticed in one of the songs I believe it was COWBOY that you at the end of cat walk reached out and touched the fans hands. that means a lot to fans,, that's very important to the fans.you should do that a lil more here and there between songs..(my opinon). Yes we love to hear you sing and dance and move all over that stage and do different things, but we also love it when you reach out to us personally....I saw some of the footage from your birthday bash and OMG it was THE BEST IVE SEEN.. and I wasn't even there.. LUV YA, ALWAYS UR FAN god bless you and your son....safe travels to ur other shows nancy ndm38@aol.com

I went to the Saturday night Saginaw show and it was great. It was the first Kid Rock show i have been to and i had excellent seats (6th row). Not sure why i have waited so long to go to one of your shows but now i am hooked! I liked the V.I.P. access prior to the show and the bands that played before you hit the stage.I am not sure i would change much in the show but i would have liked to hear the song "So Hott". Thanks again for a great show!!!
