    Dear fans and friends, Myself, the band and crew have worked harder on rehearsing and putting this tour together than any before. I want people to come and have the best time ever, be moved, motivated, touched and walk out of the show feeling GREAT! I do not want it to be spoiled for anyone attending. For those of you around the world and in the States who can not make it to a show, of course, can get bits and pieces on the internet. I have struggled with the idea of not allowing anything from this tour to be posted until AFTER it is over, probly the end of the summer / early fall. It absolutley pains me to know people can see all the suprises and different songs we have worked so hard on after the first few shows! I can NOT however bring myself to do this, as I know so many good people who can't attend will want a little slice of the new tour, even if it is a camera phone recording with shitty sound and video! I will suggest however, that if you are able to come, you would not spoil it for yourself and try to refrain from, all of our addictions, to the quick satisfaction of the internet until after you have attended. We are gonna try to our hardest to post lots of goodies and insight on the road through Kidrock.com and other social media throughout the tour.We have a basic setlist outline for the tour, but will be switching up songs nightly to keep it fresh for you and for us! We are beyond excited, prepared and ready to play some music for all of yall', Hope to see your face in the place! Happy New Year - Kid Rock.

I have to admit that I do go on YouTube for some Kid Rock videos; especially the fun Q & A from the CTM cruises. Love those! I have never posted anything but do take some pics at concerts so that I can look at them on my digital frame in the living room. Brings back the memories of that night and I can show my friends what a great time we had. Can't wait for Toledo, OH :)

Have loved every 1 of y'alls shows that I've been to, I always have the best time!!! Looking foward to seeing you in ft. myers :) and know that when I go to a concert, my phone stays in my car. Hell I remember the days when they would confiscate your camera at the door...kinda hard now tho, with cameraphones and everyone posting everything any1 does online in seconds. Thanks for the reminder to folks who don't know any better.

Excellent suggestions Kid! It is best to live in the moment, not try to record it. Personally, I love surpises! So I'm only going to look at professional videos & photos from shows if/when I know for sure I won't be able to go in person.

Nice! If you change the set list each night, it makes going on "Kid Rock Tour" a viable option. Thank God, because since Jerry died, nothing has felt just right...

All yalls hard work always shows....and i can not ever imagine someone leaving one of your shows and not feeling great..................The touched and moved part for me comes from reading about or hearing about all the good deeds you do just because you can. Hats off to you and wishing everyone involved with putting on your shows an awesome tour and safe travels...........much love from TEXAS

So looking forward to seeing you and the Band again! You put on a fantastic show every time out! I think us fans just get so pumped and excited and want to brag a little so we post it on the internet for other fans to enjoy but I can see where you're coming from and I'm sure all of your true fans will do as you ask! Rock on and enjoy the ride~!

To be honest, I have tried to take pics/videos and they have never even come close to the real thing. I am done...I will enjoy every frickin' moment of the show without worrying that I could be taking a picture. Thanks for reminding me of the disappointment after I get home and look at my camera. Cannot wait to see you in Grand Rapids and then hopefully again this year in some unannounced Detroit date (maybe with Seger?)....thanks for all you do!! Love you the one and only Kid Rock!!

don't know yet if i'll make a show, but i check out the dates and will TRY. THE last two opportunities near me my man prevented. and i always call him the badass all other badasses are patterned after. since he's a fities dude. seems Kid Rock concert was a shock, since our last concert was the Gaithers at my request. so i like alot of music, which makes me a natural KR fan. the last time, i gave him an out to stay home and a girlfriend and i could go. his answer(please don't expect logic) "OH well he's married anyway." and i got a big deer in the headlight look. like a uh? I appreciate your thinking, after being in plays the hard work and prep, you want the pleasure of hearing and seeing those first hand reactions. whatever you do will be balanced fairly to your hard work and the band; when your really good at something like you all are, you make it look easy. and of course balanced for your fans.

I don't know why I'm posting this but I have to say it because it pisses me off. I work at a strip club Ca berate Royal in Nashville. Its the old Kens Gold Club. (Yes I'm friends with Jay the DJ that Kid Rock Bobby Richie punched he works at Gabrielle's on Hayes.( Nice job Bob.) Anyway what I'm mad about is I dance to Kid Rock music on stage always requested due to the fact that I'm not into dancing to hip hop mostly I dance to rock. This club currently owned by Bo is ALL hip hop. I was getting ready to do my set and in the DJ booth at 2:45 waiting for Cinnamon to finish her 2 song set. But some black girls that were customers ruined her set because they kept dancing on the floor. One of them came into the DJ booth and started a fight with the DJ grabbing his mic. By the time I got on the stage which should had been before 3. it was around 2:55 am I started my set and took my top off on the first song. All the sudden the manager runs out yelling put you top back on its after 3. I'm like okay and I put my top back on. Being that I didn't know you cant dance topless after 3. Suddenly I was accosted by 5 UNIFORMED police performing a STING operation and led to outside which it was cold outside and they wanted me to walk out in my stripper clothes. I said I'd like to change my clothes. They let me go to the lockers with a police escort to change my clothes. I was issued a civil misdemeanor citation. This has caused me to have to work in another state at clubs to make money lost my permit in Nashville to dance. What is pissing me off is that I had lost my job in Las Vegas working for an entertainer and entertainment lawyer. (sports figures, hip hop, and golden age hollywood) Because of the economy. 30 percent unemployment in Las Vegas. Id like to go to the KID ROCK concert but Im thinking maybe not this year. I wanted to see it in Las Vegas 2012 at the House of Blues in Mandalay Bay but again I had to come to Nashville move back in with my mom SUCKS.

I could not agree more. I plan on attending several show...as many as I can afford to see plus the cruise. Not only is it a bit of a spoiler when people post set lists and footage but it is also pretty hard to avoid being as how I do like to be included in all the KR communities. I hope you & the band know that I personally will not be posting anything at any time as I am a terrible photographer and selfish spectator (I want to enjoy the show first hand and refuse to have a camera come between me and the live music) that's just me. Eagerly awaiting East Coast dates and counting down the days til Redneck Island!!!!!!!!

Bob, I agree with you whole heartedly that it would be a spoil to see clips of your show before going to one. Not only because we would be seeing all the surprises and different songs early but because the enthusiasm and momentum of the crowd is lost on video. The feeling of sharing anticipation with an entire crowd before you and the band come on stage…The happiness when you do…when you sing a cowboy/lay it on me combo…when guys turn to us girls they don't know and sing along to So Hott. :) What is great about clips online is watching the ones from a concert I went to a day AFTER going. I find the ones from the moments I loved the most…At the Beacon when you stopped Bawitdaba because something was off or how before you started you mentioned that this is the song that hurts as you prepared to start jumping…At Revel, NJ when you took your sunglasses off and took in the crowd mid song…At Bethel Woods when you couldn't believe everybody come out on a Wed in the middle of the woods for the concert. I did and the night under the stars with pyro was the best yet! What sucks about the clips online are the ones with email addresses scrolling across advertising the sale of the whole concert on video. Shaky phone video! Hate people profiting off of others hard work. Checking everyday for East Coast tour dates!

O....... okay.. gotta respect the band and the man. I'm so guilty of going on youtube and looking up you guys just to catch a lil glimpse. I am also guilty of taking lil snippets of the show with my shitty camera and putting a video together. My husband and I fucking love you guys and your music.. always have and always will..and that's why I vow to you guys NOT to go against what you ask, I promise, and I'm sorry I have in the past.

You may not see my face, but I will be wearing some bling in Memphis on March 1st, Club 3, bringing some friends. Make new Kid Rock fans in the Rebel Room every time friends come over. All we have to do is show them some videos or interviews and we have them hooked. Take different friends to each concert to show them how great of a performer you are. So far we have converted many to Kid Rock. Plan on showing many more how nice of a person you are and how you support our troups. God Bless
