I confess - I'm not a member of the Harley Owners Group.  But, a friend who is graciously brought me along to the HOG's 25th anniversary party at Miller Park Thursday night to see Kid Rock in concert.

I've always heard Kid Rock puts on a good show, and let me say he (and his band) did not disappoint!   He knows how to work a crowd into a frenzy, put on the brakes, and pump it right back up again.  The band was sharp, mistake free, and energetic. 

More than anything, Kid Rock's versatility blew me away -- southern rock, hip hop, country, heavy metal, classic rock, rhythm and blues - you name it, he played it.  He even mixed in a fair amount of humor.  The man can sing.  And he knows how to put on a show. 

I never would've pegged a Harley crowd as a fit for a young street-rapper from Detroit Rock City.  But, this isn't the Kid Rock who busted onto the scene a decade or more ago.  He's a well-rounded musician and entertainer.  This guy is the real deal.  He even won over the harshest critic of all - my wife, who never stopped dancing.
