Kid Rock Gets On The Black Eyed Peas Party Train At Detroit Area Concert



via Detroit News

It's one thing to say you love Detroit, and the Black Eyed Peas certainly did that at the Palace of Auburn Hills Tuesday night (March 9). They name-checked everyone from the Supremes to Eminem to J Dilla, and stated and restated the city's importance as if they were running for mayor.

But it's another thing to prove it, and they did that when they brought out the Son of Detroit himself, Kid Rock, for a late show run through of his 2008 smash "All Summer Long." Wearing a Burberry-type jacket and a giddy, oversize smile on his face, Rock sauntered onto the stage in front of the sold-out crowd of 15,000 and offered up a loose take on his hit, while joined on the stage's long catwalk by the four Peas. When he jumped the gun and came in early on the last verse he stopped himself and said, "did I (mess) that up?" He then waved off his mistake and exclaimed, "it's Detroit!" and finished the song in style. Rock's cameo may not have technically fit into the flow of the show at all, but who cares, it's Detroit! It solidified the wall-to-wall party that was the two-hour show, which achieved lead Pea will.i.am's stated goal of transforming the arena into a nightclub.
