    Rock 'n' roll will be revived at the Cajundome

    ...Kid Rock returns to his usual rock and hip hop element Tuesday when his Rock N' Roll Revival Tour visits the Cajundome. The concert features Rock's 11-piece Twisted Brown Trucker Band with guest performances by Rev. Run of Run DMC, Dickey Betts from the Allman Brothers Band.
    Tickets are still available at the Cajundome box office and all Ticketmaster locations.

    In his normal rock 'n' roll environment, Rock, 37, continues to excel and excite. His most recent album, Rock n Roll Jesus, was released in October and debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, with hit singles So Hott and Amen.

    Besides selling more than 20 million records since his 1990 debut album, Grits Sandwiches for Breakfast, Rock has received notoriety for his rocky marriage with Pamela Anderson and recent off-stage scuffles and legal wranglings.

    Rock has also been in the spotlight for his Revival Tour, which critics have likened to an old-style, traveling Motown Revue. The tour stopped Saturday in St. Louis, where Post-Dispatch pop music critic Kevin Johnson described the show as a "high-rollin', lowdown throwdown of rock, rap, country, honky-tonk and more."

    Rock covered everything from This Little Light of Mine to his own hits, like Welcome 2 the Party, Cowboy, Picture and Bawitdaba. Betts and Rock jammed on Ramblin' Man and the old school rap flowed with Rock and Run performing It's Like That, It's Tricky and Walk This Way.

    The crowd warmed up with a patriotic show of U. S. servicemen, the national anthem and Born in the USA.

    Earlier in the month, in Rock's hometown of Detroit, Peter Wolf of the J. Geils Band joined the show. Adam Graham of the Detroit News wrote "Wolf was spastic and untethered, and was almost the opposite of Rock, who was always composed and professional.

    "Run and Wolf joined Rock on-stage at the closer of the show, and Rock ended the show, shirtless, with a towering Bawitdaba."

Kid Rock, My Best friend & I would like to see you in concert in Corpus Christi, Tx on April 30th. My friend unfortunately has breast cancer, and it has been her dream to meet you in person. She has talked about seeing you in concert for a few years and, she has also talked about meeting you, and how it would brighten her life. If there is any way you could make this happen for her (getting to meet you in person) we both would be eternally grateful. We are both fans that appreciate good music, and it would mean so much to her. Please see what you can do to help her meet you when you come to our city. Fans Forever...........

well kimberly the show was great....Kid is so hot. I got some great pic's. We saw him in Biloxi, MS before the show we could here him playing(we stay at a hotel by the coliseum) my husband walked over about 4:00 walked right in and saw Kid on stage. Of course no camera at that time, but if you wanted to talk to him that would have been a great time. We had great seats he looked right at us, few times. I have seen him 3 times....and will see him again. I love KID ROCK.

A man is trapped and floating in the ocean. 3 big boats come his way and ask him if he needs help. He answers NO, GOD will save me. Several hours go by and nothing happens. he then asks GOD, " Why have you not saved me"? God answers, " I sent 3 boats you big dummy".

The kid should start a contest on winning some tickets, to a show. Any show will do. I live way up in the California mountains. It's hard to go to concerts. My whole family know ever word and beat, of every song out there. With the exception of polyfuse. We can't find it. I 'm 40, my hubby is 42, my oldest son is 19, his wife ( yes his wife) is 16, my other boy is 16, my baby girl is 12. I have NO problem with my 12 year old attending a Kid concert. We are DIE HARD FANS. I'm an 80's child. It's been along time since I've been this excited about music. We listen to the Rock everyday, except when Hank is in the CD player. I really beleive that Bob Ritchie is a GOD send.

We saw Kid in Saginaw, MI. It was one of the best show I have ever seen! He is so real! Kid shares his stage and talents. Kid brings out the best in those he is jamming with. It really was so awesome to see. The audience knew every song and sang it right out loud. It has to be a great feeling to know your fans absolutely love ya! CarolA1

I live in the Fresno Co. Mountains. I've been a Kid fan, way before anyone else here in Cali. I have NO desire to go to LA or San Fransico. I hope he stop in Fresno, someday. Maybe I'll win the lotto and my whole family can see him in Nashville. I'm a dreamer!!!! The world need us. Rock On Bro!!!!!!
