Jeff was incredibly funny. I laughed from beginning to end.
AWESOME SHOW, GREAT TIME IF YOU JUST WANT TO LAUGH ALL NIGHT LONG!!!!!
Show was good, too bad he didn't do any new material. All the material was a mixture of past performances. But overall funny.
From the start to the end Jeff Foxworty had the crowd cracking up. I am a Foxworthy fan, so I have already heard most of the material, but he still had me laughing even though I knew what was coming. The wife and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
We were a party of five last night. Jeff was great! I watched my group and they laughed all night. Jeff looks at every day life and points out the humor. It was wonderful to put the recession behind for a while and relax and laugh all night. I hope Mr Foxworthy comes back next year!
Jeff was great but his show was to short. Maybe an opening act would have helped.
I've always admired Jeff's ability to capture the crowd's attention. It was worth the money to go and see him, especially up close. He's a great comedian and seems like an amazing guy. Totally worth it! I hope he comes back again soon!
My wife, my 16 year-od son and I went to see Jeff Foxworthy last night. He told stories for two hours straight and had us laughing so hard most of the night. I'm talking about that gut wrenching laugh. I would highly recommend the show to anyone who wants to forget their troubles for a few hours with non=stop laughter.
We laughed so hard at times that we could not breathe. I wish I had brought my inhaler because I really thought I would have an asthma attack. Please tell Jeff that when we got home there was our cat puking up hair balls just like in his show. We had not been to Pine Knob since the 80's and I have never been on the lawn. The only drawback was the smokers you couldn't get away from them. Next time we will opt for indoors like the Palace. Thanks for the great show.
This was our 4th time seeing Jeff Foxworthy, but our first time seeing him outside, and it was the best!!
It was a very good show. This was my first time at one of his shows, and I will definitly come back..
I have seen jeff a couple of times, and last nite he did not disappoint. he did a couple of old jokes, (which were great) but mostly new stuff which was excellent. i would see him again no questions.
Getting to hear from Jeff Foxworthy again is kind of like running into an old friend you used to be tight with but haven't seen in a few years. You're excited at first, then slip into a somewhat lethargic state as they regale you with a story you've already heard from them a million times. The August 21st program at DTE started strong, despite a slightly restless crowd as Jeff took the stage about 15 minutes later than the scheduled start time. Jeff picked on the audience in the first two rows who kept arriving late to their seats, clutching oversized and likely overpriced alcohol from the concession stand. Jeff then told the story of how the "You Might Be A Redneck" jokes started right here in Michigan, when he was playing a club attached to a bowling alley with valet parking. From there on out though, the whole event felt like if you had all of his segments from the Blue Collar movies on your iPod and hit "Shuffle". While still funny, there was barely any new material in Foxworthy's repertoire. Jeff confessed early in the show that at a VIP meet-and-greet before he hit the stage, people were requesting that he do some of their favorite bits, and that he was going to try his best to do each of them. A few new (or perhaps old, and I had just never heard them) bits arose, stories from the set of "Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader", stories on his in-laws, kids, and wife, the typical Foxworthy fodder. One memorable story put us in Jeff's shoes when he stays overnight at his wife's parents- His father-in-law apparently has an affinity for getting up at 5:00 in the morning and watching the Discovery Channel at a deafening volume. Jeff of course ended the program with his trademark "You Might Be A Redneck" bit. And even here, 90% of them were ones you've heard before if you follow Jeff even casually. The show ended on the infamous "nipple bitten off by a beaver" joke from Blue Collar 1 to tumultuous applause, and Foxworthy left the stage with no encore to be had. Overall, the program was an enjoyable experience, and Foxworthy's old bits are still funny. However, if the tickets had been any more expensive, I'm sure a great many people would feel a bit ripped off, as you could just go out and rent the first three Blue Collar movies and get 90% of the evening's material for the same price in your own home.
This is the first Jeff Foxworthy concert that I've attended and thoroughly enjoyed it. He made me laugh until I cried. Hope to see him again in the near future.
It was a wonderful show, Amazing material,Jeff gave a performance that was unforgettable.
A couple of friends and I went to see Jeff last night and it was so worth the money! He was funny and entertaining. He didn't cuss and everything he said was making everyone laugh. It was pleasant in this day and age to enjoy something without cussing and dirty jokes.
We had a great time - pleasant evening and funny. Pine Knob knows how to move the traffic after an event - very nice.
the was the best show ive seen in a long time blew dane cook away i would go to his any time hes here i recomend this show to everyone that wants to laugh
Jeff was good as he is a known quantity with pretty tried and true material. He could use something to spice it up or to give the feel of more dollar value during this economy. How about a short warm up act or just something to get the mood going.
I laughed the entire time that Jeff was on stage. By the time he finished his hour and 45 minutes onstage, my stomach ached from laughing so much. He was great!!
