\"TomTom Keifer took the stage at Knuckleheads, a venue off the beaten path in Kansas City, Mo., that is near the railroad tracks and is reminiscent of Cinderella\u2019s third album Heartbreak Station<\/em>. Keifer\u2019s solo tour in support of his latest studio album, The Way Life Goes<\/em>, was highlighted by the music and hits that spans his musical career. <\/p>\n

It all began on acoustic guitars, with Keifer asking the fans if they wanted to hear the stories associated with the songs. In one story, he talked about the origins of the Cinderella hit \u201cShake Me.\u201d Keifer, with a brand new guitar his mom gave him, began to strum some riffs. All of a sudden, he saw a girl who had quite the walk on her and inspired him to write the song. The song was performed as an acoustic blues jam, inspiring the crowd. His wife, Savannah, joined him on the next song, \u201cYou Don\u2019t Know What You\u2019ve Got,\u201d which was a nice surprise, and she made several appearances throughout the set. <\/p>\n

Just before \u201cDon\u2019t Know What You Got\u201d a voice in the audience clearly was heard saying, \u201cIt\u2019s been 13 years, motherfucker.\u201d Keifer obviously got a kick out of that statement and said, \u201cI know you meant that in the most complimentary way.\u201d Welcome back to KC, Tom! <\/p>\n

Next up, was the song \u201cComing Home\u201d from Cinderella\u2019s 1988 album Long Cold Winter<\/em>. \u201cSolid Ground\u201d kicked off the rocking part of the set, and Keifer played harmonica on \u201cCold Day in Hell.” The band played five songs from Keifer\u2019s new album The Way Life Goes, They fit in nicely with the well-known Cinderella songs. Keifer even performed a rousing rendition of the Lennon\u2013McCartney song, \u201cA Little Help from My Friends,\u201d which was very reminiscent of Joe Cocker\u2019s version. The whole show was very good and culminated with \u201cGypsy Road.\u201d Fans were glad Kansas City was a part of the tour.<\/p>\n
