| Concert Review Posted on: Wednesday, 28 May 2008, 09:00 CDT By Ross Raihala, Pioneer Press, St. Paul, Minn. May 28--Here's a message to Kid Rock fans who figured they could skip his Saturday-night gig at the Target Center after catching his sold-out Myth show last fall. You blew it. Not only was his arena concert entirely different, it was also arguably the better of the two. Over the course of 2 1/2 rarely dull hours, Kid Rock made like a trailer-park Bruce Springsteen in front of a modest, but deliriously happy, crowd of about 6,000. His high-energy, exuberant performance backed by the ever-reliable Twisted Brown Trucker Band felt like he was the biggest star on the Earth. But, at the same time, his sleazeball-next-door likeability suggested he was the type of guy you could catch a beer with at the corner bar. It was a nifty trick from surprisingly savvy 37-year-old Detroit native Robert James Ritchie. Sensing his time as the king of rap-rock has come and gone, he's diversified his sound to incorporate classic rock and outlaw country to fine effect. And instead of trying to sell records to 14-year-olds, he's homed in on former 14-year-olds who still remember roller-skating every Friday night to the J. Geils Band's "Centerfold." . |
