American Badass - Kid Rock 6/29/13

Kid Rock.... not my typical concert but I wanted to support his $20 ticket deal with cheaper food and beer and $20 t-shirts... I gotta say, the man has brains! He got people that wouldn't have normally gone to his concerts to go.. Way to go! Plus Kool and the Gang was there.... BONUS! I'm a disco girl at heart too... Uncle Kracker was also on the bill but apparently even rock stars get stuck in Virginia traffic. Go figure...

The weather held out for us thank goodness because it was looking pretty evil. It poured but luckily we had actual seats under the pavilion. (nyah nyah) Our seats were actually pretty kick ass for a $20 concert (well, more like $30 with fees and parking) I can't say that I'm a fan of Jiffy Lube Live though... they have people getting you out of the parking lot after the concert that probably aren't even old enough to drive and you can run out of gas sitting there forever.

This was my second time seeing Kool and the Gang (they opened for Van Halen last year.... I don't get either line up but oh well) and they were their usual funky selves. They put on a good show!! They had the biker dudes up and dancing and that's saying something.

Kid Rock... I don't know a lot of his music. Just the stuff you hear on the radio but wow... what a performer! I had a lot of fun watching him and he really knew how to get the audience pumped. Plus the guy donated all proceeds from the sale of his $10 cd at the concert to the Shriners.... How can you not like a guy like that? My advice is, if you can catch Kid Rock at some point, go and see him. You will not be disappointed.
