That's the one. It's not a very good version of the song. I don't think they rehearsed it, just came out and had Kid jump on because everyone knows those lyrics.

I'm sure I will pick up some Beam to get the download. I'll have a little Beam and Coke on occasion.

Thanks Bart, there is one video out there that I know of with he and Mellencamp singing it at a FarmAid a couple of years ago. Spirited, but, horribly out of tune. Sure hope he includes this new version on the new CD. The only way you can get it now is through a contest at the Beam site. Never touch anything but rum, so out of luck there, lol.

I just checked again and there isn't a setlist for HOB - Boston yet. Sometimes it takes a few days.

There is a mention on the Home Page news about an exclusive Jim Beam version for "Pink Houses". Must be when it was recorded.

There is an old recording that I have of Kid and John singing Pink Houses together. Most of it is Mellencamp and then he introduces Kid. Seems like it was the fundraiser for the 9/11 families, but I'm not sure.

Just checked http://www.setlist.fm/. The two dates are up, but no info yet. Wish someone would add them, he's doing some new stuff on this Jim Beam tour, like Mellencamp's Pink Houses. Which for some reason, peeved the guy at gawker.com no end. LOL.

Funny because if you know Mellencamp's background....Johnny Cougar, managed by Tony DeFrieze, wealthy family background and childhood, first band Crepe Soul, freak band "White Trash" (google a pic of that band for a chuckle), etc., in his early days he was considered pretty much the way Bob is to some now. One of his record people was quoted in an article that John "would sell is grandmother for a hit." And another decade of work, and now Mellencamp is "sincere" compared to Bob. I love the music business, lol.

I like knowing in advance too.

I use www.setlist.fm and it has most bands. Sometimes it takes a few days to get the info, but they are pretty good and reliable. You can google "kid rock setlist" and it will be in the top five.

thank you !!! I love having a good idea of the setlist going in!

Mr. Bart's picture

Probably a mix of both. I would doubt "Son of Detroit", "Times Like These", "Fat Bottom Girls", or "Forty". He normally only plays SOD and Times Like These in MI/Detroit shows.

Something more like this is what he played on the cruise:

Devil Without a Cause
Rock Bottom Blues
Forever
Flyin' High
Cocky
All Summer Long
Purple Sky
Midnight Train to Memphis
Wasting Time
Slow My Roll
Cowboy
Lay It On Me
God Bless Saturday
Care
So Hott
Bawitdaba
Encore:
Rock N Roll Jesus
Only God Knows Why
Born Free

Encore:All Summer Long , Drift Away,Krack Rocks , Rock N Roll Jesus , Only God Knows Why , Born Free

Is that the setlist you were referring to?

Mr. Bart's picture

He's been playing a pretty similar setlist over the last year. I would expect about the same. My guess would be something similar to the CARE tour. Let me know if you can't find it and I'll try to post it.

He normally plays about 2 hours and 15 minutes, so he will probably go on about 8:45, so that he is done at 11pm. Most venues like to end the shows about 11pm.

Have fun - I'm jealous!
