Kid Rock
London Shepherd’s Bush Empire
11th June, 2008
View: first-tier, front, stage-right
90 minutes of KR was only lightly soured by the maverick lack of encore. But after 18 spot-on songs and as much attitude as a gun lobby rally, we got the message: the Kid Rocks. Backed by a Confederate flag, a six-piece band and two backing singers, the behatted/shaded dude romped through classics new and old, from the latest block-rockin’ Rock’n’Roll Jesus, to 1998’s rap-metal Welcome 2 The Party and AC/DC beat of Cowboy (with track-suit wardrobe change). Other new cuts that shook the place included Lowlife, there were strains of Sweet Home Alabama and Werewolves Of London on All Summer Long, and a hilarious duet with his female drummer on Half Your Age. A spot of acoustic strumming, the singalong Devil Without A Cause and bouts of turntablism/ blues guitar on Kid Rock led into the balcony-quaking Bawitdaba.
