    The Detroit Symphony's fundraiser concert with Kid Rock on Saturday night at the Fox Theater rocked the house and generated $1 million for the DSO.

    Shortly after 8 p.m., Rock hit the stage at the Fox dressed in a tuxedo and wearing a fedora for his performance with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. DSO conductor Leonard Slatkin, in a nod to Rock, sported his own fedora.

You look so very hot in this photo. It makes me say I want to get you alone. I want to get you stoned. I don't want to be your friend. And well ... you know the rest. Does it feel good to be the object of desire instead of giving it away all the time? It would probably be better if I were Cameron Diaz I'm sure. At least we share the same birthday. Sigh!

It was real and I felt it. I was honored to be able to attend the DSO/Kid Rock Concert. Best concert I have ever been to, hands down. I saw they taped it...that would be great to watch again. My daughter and I went for Mother's Day and it was the best! I will always always always love Kid Rock and remember that night!!!

Remember the photo you're talking abou KIDROCKET99, He was much younger and looked cute. Pamela looked pretty ,but if I can recall her boobs took center stage then. However, mst say Bobby looks so much more drapper nd hotter as he gets older. Also , I also wondered what he would look like on our wedding day. LOL

Hey, the last time I saw Kid in a tux was when he was with Pam Anderson.....and trust me I saw RED! She may have even been wearing a red dress that night in the photos and I must say she looked very beautiful., As for Kid, he had on a top hat and tails in the photos which took me straight back to Steve Perry when he would wear tails and a cool purple lepard tee shirt with a pair of jeans and Nike tennis shoes in concert....so 80's. Kid and Pam did look very happy back then, but I guess all good things come to an end...so they say. I think it was in the beginning of their relationship.....which lasted longer than their marriage....I wonder why???? I was a fan way before Pam.

Thanks for the heads up, SUNFLOWER49! Great article and pictures! A grand thank you, also, to Mr. Mathes for his hard work and dedication to create the arrangements which helped provide such a magical evening for all. And so sweet your mother was there, Mr. Ritchie, and I do so hope she enjoyed your historic collaboration. What a beautiful Mother’s Day gift to give her and I can only imagine how proud she is of you and your journey that led you to be the most amazing man you are today and to do so much good for so many people. I have tears of joy right now as I thank God for you. I am breathless and speechless again. What a tremendously beautiful heart you have. May God continue to bless it.

Great job at generating $1,000,000 for the DSO! We wished we could have been able to afford tickets to see the concert. I'm sure it was a one of the kind fantastic show! Keep up the great work! Cyndi Chesterfield, MI

THANK YOU, KID ROCK!!! You amaze and humble me with who you are and what you do. Way to go raising the $1 million!!! With your fan base, I had no doubt. And, sounds like you made a few new fans with getting 60 year olds to finally let loose and dance. ONLY YOU! And, WOW!!! Tux and fedora!?!?!?! Bow tie - another excellent choice. Breathless and speechless. Ummmm…oh, did I say WOW already?!?!?!? I agree…definitely needs to be on GQ cover. It would be the HOTT-est ever. I’m just sayin’. Thank you for all the posts everyone so we could “be there, too.” Magic is in the air and sounds like everyone had a great time, including you, Mr. Ritchie, and I am so happy to hear it! Thank you, Mr. Slatkin, for your nod to Mr. Ritchie’s stylin’ ways and for all of your hard work, along with all the orchestra, musicians, and support people. Thank you, WebCrew, for posting this so quickly and for using the Detroit News for information on their solid, stand-up, and phenomenal citizen, Mr. Ritchie, who deserves all the accolades he receives. I love Detroit – it’s spirit, dedication, passion, and helping-your-neighbor ways. That’s why I’m moving to the area soon. Can’t wait! Keep on ROCKin!

Great Review! Truly wish I had used my free US Airways miles and attended last night's performance of The Detroit Symphony Orchestra and Kid Rock! Love this quote on all his CDs: If it looks good, you'll see it. If it sounds good, you'll hear it. If it's marketed right, you'll buy it. But... if it's real, you'll feel it. Kid Rock
