| Uncle Kracker, out on bail, duets with Chesney Adam Graham / The Detroit News Released earlier in the day on $75,000 bond stemming from a sex offense charge in North Carolina, Uncle Kracker appeared on stage at Ford Field Saturday night alongside his good friend and sometimes collaborator, Kenny Chesney. The Mount Clemens-bred star, wearing a trucker's cap cocked to the side, a navy blue "Detroit" T-shirt and droopy jeans that exposed his boxer shorts when he knealt down, was greeted warmly by the more than 47,000 fans in attendance at the concert. The two performed their duet "When the Sun Goes Down," from Chesney's 2004 album of the same name. Kracker frequently appears in concert with Chesney, and the pair also recorded a song, "Last Night Again," for Kracker's 2004 album "72 and Sunny." Kracker, real name Matt Shafer, was arrested in Cary, North Carolina early Friday and charged with a second-degree forcible sex offense. Kracker's bail was initially set at $5,000,000 when he was considered by local authorities to be a flight risk, but was later reduced to $75,000. Speaking on the charges, which related to an incident with a 26-year-old female at a Raleigh, N.C. nightclub, Kracker told People magazine Friday, "It's regrettable that someone would make this kind of allegation, not only because it's not the kind of thing I'd do, as the father of three girls, it's the kind of thing that I wouldn't stand for. Anyone can say anything about anybody but it doesn't make it true or correct. This is one of those cases. I'm saddened that anyone might think I'm capable of this sort of thing.". |

| Too Loud!!! Poor quality sound. |
| sound quality was bad, but he show was fun. Brooks & Dunn brought everyone to tears with the special appearance of armed forces members during "Only in America" Fantastic! |
| Great concert. Didn't think Kenny was on top of his game. Sound quality was poor for the headliner. |
| Kenny was at this best, but the acoustics were not good at the start of his show. They did make adjust- ments as the concert progressed. Much better than his performance last year! Brooks and Dunns' tribute to our troops was amazing! Sugarland was quite entertaining! |
| kenny was so bad I left after 3 songs. broos & dunn were great. |
| Kenny was on top in Detroit, if you think otherwise, you drank way to much! |
| Absoutely terrible sound system--I go to most all country concerts in Detroit area. THE WORSE SOUND SYSTEM! But of course had a GREAT time! |
| This was my second Kenny concert this year and forth year in a row for attending his concerts- this year his shows have been a little shorter and not as exciting as pervious years- but he is still great! Brooks and Dunn were excellent! |
| I think i built the show up to much, so i was disapointed, He sounded terrible because he keeped moving the microphone around. Also there was no pyro witch could have made the show better...It was also the worse closing if i wanted to end a show with keep on rolling i would have went to see REO. The only thing that saved him is that he had enough hits that everyone new. He is a Musician but not a Preformer |
| I can't believe all the reviews so far. Maybe they had terrible seats. I thought the sound quality was terrific. One of my top 5 shows of all time and I don't even like country. I generally go to about 5-10 concerts a year for the past 13 years. Kenny was full of energy and was rocking on stage the entire set. I hate how most concerts do 2 or 3 encores these days. Typical bands are wasting time and begging for applause, it's almost expected. Not Kenny he rocked past 11pm... (And for those unfamiliar with concert time limits: The show bleeds money to the concert venue when they don't end the show by 11pm.) His band managers were begging for him to stop. I'd easily pay $100 to see him again. Great Concert. |
| Why was the sound system good for the piped music in between performers, but the sound qualify for the performers was so poor? The video delay with the singing was totally weird. |
| Rate this Concert ! |
