Ted Nugent Turns It Up at Freedom Hill for the Final Show
Ted Nugent closed out his tour at Freedom Hill with a show that was as much a statement as it was a celebration. From the moment he walked on stage, the energy was turned all the way up, and it never let off. Nugent leaned into his role as a larger-than-life frontman, throwing out guitar licks with precision and a volume that shook the ground. It felt less like a standard rock concert and more like a hometown rally, with Nugent giving the crowd exactly what they came for—an unapologetically loud, in-your-face night of music.
The setlist leaned on the classics, with “Cat Scratch Fever” and “Stranglehold” igniting some of the biggest singalongs of the night. Even when the riffs were familiar, the delivery carried a raw edge that made them feel alive in the moment. His band held tight, keeping the chaos structured without ever dimming Nugent’s spotlight. The atmosphere was pure rock tradition—walls of amps, blistering solos, and a crowd that seemed to feed off the intensity as much as the man on stage did.
As the final stop on his tour, the show carried a weight of finality. Nugent made sure no one left with any doubt that he still thrives on sheer volume and stage presence. By the end of the night, ears were ringing, but no one seemed to mind it was exactly the kind of send-off fans expected. Loud, unapologetic, and rooted in decades of rock history, Nugent’s farewell at Freedom Hill was a reminder that sometimes the best way to close a tour is to turn everything up as far as it will go.
