Jeb Wright has written an awesome review of Ted’s two I Still Believe shows in Oklahoma on July 15 and 16. Check out the excerpt below and be sure to read the full thing!

Webster’s dictionary defines the word “passionate” as “having, compelled by, or ruled by intense emotion or strong feeling; fervid.” Next to that definition should be a photograph of Ted Nugent.

Both shows were amazing and each featured subtle nuances, differing one from the other.

What there was, however, was balls out, loud old school hard rock: drums, bass, and tons of guitar solos. Even the usual Nugent political and hunting rants were kept to a minimum.
