Well kids finally yours truly got to see and experience the all mighty power of the southern rock legends, Lynyrd Skynyrd. And yes their was Kid Rock also but lets start with the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame legends.
Lynyrd Skynyrd was the night's opening act and they dove right into all of their classics. They played Gimme 3 Steps, That Smell, Sweet Home Alabama, Call me the Breeze, and of course FREEBIRD!
I felt like a little kid again getting to hear this song for the first time because oh yeah it was truly orgasmic, yes orgasmic. Their is nothing like the power of Freebird my friends and the boys delivered. They sounded very good and on point and it was truly a weird feeling to see them live and here's why. The band which has suffered tragedy during it's prime hay day is survived by some old members and some of newer ones who have filled in over the years.
But to hear some of these songs in today's age is truly an experience for the ages. Hearing Freebird live is something everyone needs to experience at least once in their life because it is one of those songs that just is amazing. Major kudos to the boys in Skynyrd for knowing how to still put on a killer rock and roll show.
Kid Rock I have to admit knows how to give credit where credit is due. He pays so much tribute to those who have came before him and incorporates that into his show. He knows that without those guys he wouldn't of become what he is today and that's a great entertainer. He knows how to put on a good rock and roll show and his job last night was well received by the audience at the First Midwest Bank Amphitheater and he even had a surprise guest come on stage as well.
During his song Picture, the one and only Sheryl Crow joined Kid on stage for a great duet of that song. One of my favorites it was a real treat to have it sung by the two who made the song a true classic in my opinion. It is a song full of emotion and those are the ones I love best. But of course this is a rock and roll show and he belted out some of his big rock hits including, Rock and Roll Jesus, Amen, All Summer Long, Cowboy and of course Bawitdaba. He just unleashed his inner rock god on those songs and the performances were amazing.
I don't know if its just me but the sound system last night wasn't as loud as I was expecting so that was the only disappointing part but the show itself was tremendous. Skynyrd and Kid Rock are true professional and classy rock acts and it was a true treat for any rock and roll fan.
