| Kid Rock electrifies home crowd Adam Graham / Detroit News Pop Music Writer Kid Rock gives much love to his hometown, and his hometown gives it right back. Rock played an electrifying, sold-out show to more than 15,000 fans at DTE Energy Music Theatre Saturday, the first of four shows he's mounting at the Clarkston amphitheatre before week's end. And those shows follow two sold-out concerts he performed at Joe Louis Arena in February, in addition to a sold-out club date at Mount Clemens' Emerald Theatre in October 2007. So there's been no shortage of Kid Rock around these parts in the last nine months. Yet fans welcomed him with open arms on Saturday, greeting him not like that uncle you see every so often and have to warm up to, but the one you see quite often and still can't get enough of. Rock's show was a pared-down version of the revue-style extravaganza he performed in February. Where that show stretched to a marathon-length three hours, Saturday's concert wrapped in a succinct two hours, including a 15-minute suite where he performed a handful of Run-D.M.C. favorites with that group's Rev. Run. Saturday's set list was stacked with staples from Rock's 1998 breakthrough "Devil Without a Cause," and included run-throughs of several tracks from last year's "Rock N Roll Jesus." Rock and his 10-piece Twisted Brown Trucker band kicked things off with the title track to "Rock N Roll Jesus." "Testify, it's a rock revival!" Rock sang, while outfitted in a white suit whose coat he had shed by the second song, the old-school rap revival "Welcome 2 the Party.". |
