I hosted a 40th birthday party for you that night at a small town bar in MN. It was great. We filled the juke box with all kr music and did a cheer for your 40th every hour! Again, I am your #1 fan, from small town MN, you wrote the soundtracks to my life! We will meet someday so i can kick back, have a beer, and tell you what the fuck im talking about. Our lives are like mirrors of each other. Love the "Im fucken' forty song" you played in chicago. Rock on! -Lora

The concert at the yum center was a success and I don't think anybody will ever rock it out like you and your band. Awesome show, Kuddos to you and your band.....

Saginaws show was the BEST concert I have been too EVER..Thanks for a great night and a chance for this MOM to cut loose! I am proud to share my State with someone so loyal! I loved just about everything, about the only thing I could say is that merchandise seemed a bit expensive..it surely won't stop me from attending another show, I just would need to be a bit more prepared! Thanks for being willing to play the smaller venues around Michigan. God Bless you and your crew

Seen the Friday night show at the Dow Event Center and it was Awesome the Stage and set changes were something ill never forget. For me and my Wife that night will be a memory ill never forget when the show was sold out both nights we just figured no matter what we wernt gonna be lucky to get to see you. On The Monday before the concert the owners of Thunder Roads Michgian Mag and friends to us since the day we unvieled the Cancer Tribute Bike "Diamond P Chopper " called and said you guys are going with us the seats were right on the left stage walk way awesome would be a understatement, At the end of the show a song that still brings tears to my eyes of this gruff biker Born Free started it brought back so many memorys of our road events last year touring the bike . Thats Concert was the best i have been too period and that wasnt the Red stag talking . We here in Michigan Bob are proud threw 8 shitty years of Grandmole running this state to have you stick with us and all you do for us here in Michigan making us all have something to belive in again.

Hey Kid Rock! I've been a long time fan, but have never been able to come see u Live. My kids love u 2 and i thought we were going to get a chance to see u perform. I thought I had heard on a radio station that u would be performing in Roanoke, VA soon. But looking at ur tour dates on ur website, nothing was posted for Roanoke, VA . Do u have any upcoming performances for the Roanoke, VA area???

Hey KID ROCK, I was at both of the shows in Saginaw. I had front row seats on Fri and regular ones Sat. Both shows were great!!! You stated on Sat that you were tired and since I saw Fri's show and kinda knew what to expect, I really could tell. That did NOT take anything from the show however. So you did 5 less cartwheels than Fri. No difference to me. But my honest opinion is Friday's show was a "9.5" and Sat was "9". The only reason I gave Fri that was I did not like the white curtain thingy with the talking. First, you couldn't really understand what the actual words were that were being said during that intermission like period of time and I know that you went and changed clothes and probably used that time to set up for your next set that started with "rock and roll jesus" but to me it was way too long of "dead time". If you need a period of time like that I would not have minded seeing some different videos on the big screen or something while you all prepared yourselves for your next set. But that was it for Fri. It was superb and will never get a seat like that again as long as i live so i will forever cherish that. As for Sat show I definitely noticed that you didn't have quite as much energy as Fri, but understandable. You are 40 man, not 20 and you still put on a show like you are 20. I wish that you would have used your big dollar prop like you did on Fri cuz i boasted about that to my friends and was disappointed when it didn't happen. But i also thought that since you didn't do the white curtain thing with the talking on Sat that there were tech issues and the equipment just wasn't working. On Sat show you actually sat down while someone else was performing (i think it was the sax guy) and watching you sitting there enjoying the show really caught my eye and I enjoyed seeing you as a real person just enjoying the show like the rest of us. NO COMPAINTS HERE! It was great music, great band and the BEST time. THANKS so much. WENDY

Hi KID, I've never seen you in concert, but that's about to change. I'll see you Nashville on my birthday, February the 18th. I am so EXCITED to see you, I just can't wait....The days can't seem to go by quick enough.Maybe you could hop on over to Tooties after the show, I know I'll be looking for you!! :-) I love your music and think you are AMAZING and SEXY to boot... Will you ever come to Austin, Texas?

Hi Bobby, thought I would try this again as the first post never made it to the blog site. I wanted to say Happy (belated) Birthday and let you know that the 40's are a pretty damn good age! I fell in love with your music at a concert in Virginia Beach two summers ago and have been listening ever since. Would have loved to celebrate your 40th with you in my home state of Michigan but kids and their schooling doesn't allow a lot of travel! I am fortunate to be able to see your "Born Free" concert in my second home of Tennessee and the kids have become big fans. I hope that Bridgestone Arena does justice to your talents as this is the first concert they have ever been to. My daughter is very excited and has put your concert date on her countdown calender. That should be considered an honor as the only memorable dates that reach that status is the last day of school, our summer vacation, Christmas, and Kid Rock!!!!! Sending good wishes and love your way! : ) Karen

I saw you at Tour for the Troops in California on 12/11/10. I thought that was a cool date! I think that you should add "Times Like These Live" to your shows. It is such a GREAT song! I would also like to see "When it Rains". When you sang "Born Free" and "Care" it was INCREDIBLE! My sister died from suicide in November the week before Born Free came out. Words cannot describe how much this CD has helped me and my family. I have no advice about changing the show because you and the TBT band do such a fantastic job!!

Thanks for a great show in Dayton!!! My group traveled from Ortonville to see you!! We couldn't get tickets to Detroit or Saginaw, so we made a road trip out of it. I went with my husband, my niece and nephew. This was our first Kid Rock concert. Won't be our last!! We all loved it!!! Really liked the photos from the beginning. My husband and nephew enjoyed the dancers! Fantastic show!!

It is a "good problem" . Ya know you are the greatest songwriter alive today! I have a favorite songwriter, the late great Ronnie Van Zant . I guess now I have two favorites. Thanks for the wonderful storytelling. God has blessed you with a great gift! See you in K.C. KEEP ROCKEN'

We traveled from Las Vegas (where we live now) back to Michigan (where we are from) for your 40th Birthday Concert. A great friend of ours in Michigan was able to get us 3rd Row Tickets - Incredible Show!!! We endured 4 degree weather but it was worth every minute of it! We have seen you 3x times in Las Vegas. Everytime you provide an incredible show! Come back to Las Vegas! Sing anything that you want. I want to quit my job and follow your show around the country!!!!

My wife and I are primarily (old country) country music fans. We grew up on Bocephus, Waylon, Charlie Dainels Band, and that bunch. Our rock n roll was selective to the likes of Skynyrd, AC/DC, ZZ top..... Who would've known back then we'd one day be Kid Rock Fans....... Long Story Short........ We've been to all sorts of concerts through the years, but in 2002 we saw the early part of the COCKY tour in Birmingham, AL and our concert expeirences have never been the same. Your show just blew us away. Since that time we've seen your show 18-20 times. We want you to know that we realize just how much work you put into being perfect. (We learned that from watching you though the years) I've never seen or known of an artist with such desire for perfection. Not only for the songs but the entire show. (for the fans) We just want you to know that your hard work doesn't go un-noticted. Keep up the good work...and keep on "Rocking the House!!" See ya in Birmingham AL, Feb 2011

I am so in love with your music! I hope to meet you some day soon. I do not know you personally (yet) but what I see and hear I cannot get enough! I'll be at your Chicago show, hope to get to see you backstage! If I (by some miracle of a chance!) were to get a date with you, we'd never leave eachother again! How can a girl get a date with such a sexy bad ass mutherfucker?? :-)!

I brought polyfuse and emsp to bay city back in 1996 that I bought from Rays records and tapes in Saginaw. People were like, who the f*cks this, but yet grew on everyone at every party I played it and eventually everyone of my friends I knew bought a copy and I said just wait this guys gonna be huge, sure enough. Anyway, the songs were great, line-up was great, but my highlight being an old school fan(as well as the new school) I loved when the lights shut off and you did emsp. It was the shit. I think some of the people didnt know it, but we were jumping up and down like crazy. Again the lineup was great and I understand the crowd and love you get nowadays and I love it too, I just would like to say a mash-up of older songs, even from polyfuze, is always great too for the old school fans. Ive seen over 25 of your shows as well as hundreds of other concerts and you have and always were the best live show man. Not much of a change to the show, you hit all areas from slow to rock to rap to country... Maybe a few more before devil woulda been awsome, lol. But all around excellent!!! BTW: Me and my friends kicked back a rolling rock with you at the warehouse in kalamazoo back in 95-96' when like 40 people showed up at your show and you started freestylin about everyone in the crowd. Classic!!! Glad to see you still rockin and hope It never dies. Keep rockin!!! Oh and still got the shirt kid rock cafe and on back "save the vinyl, fuck the planet... and was at the state when you filmed bulgod 10 times when your chain got ganked, lol.... Good shit... wolve40@gmail.com, peace.

You have a fan for life ... I was at your Friday night show and I can honestly say this was THE best concert I've ever been to (and I've been to a lot)!! It's apparent a lot of hard work and fine tuning goes into your shows and it doesn't go unnoticed!! Thanks for an amazing evening - I can hardly wait until next time! :)

Need to put out a live version of the birthday bash . Something like the Live Trucker cd. Also a DVD. You could sell tons of them. The show Kid put on that night was magical. I have never been to a better show in my life. Which includes about 10 kid rock shows. We are the ones who got the present and it was your Bday !! Only thing that was disappointing was not having zac brown....other than that.....over the top is an understatement. Rock definately gives you every penny's worth and then some at a show. I am thinking Bday Bash Live cd and dvd combo pack. Donate 10% of all proceeds to a charity voted on by the congrigation memebers !!
