Memorable Moments by Jen Haskins
Rick Springfield kicked off another triple shot weekend by heading up to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. It's been seven years since he played this particular casino, so it was definitely time for a return visit. Apparently the "Eli Love" frenzy has already taken affect, with fans yelling out for the fictional Australian Rock Star, and Rick obliging with an Aussie accent that made them squeal.
The reported set list was:
Who Killed Rock n' Roll
Will I?
Affair of the Heart
Alyson
I've Done Everything For you
Rock of Life
Red House
Don't Talk to Strangers
Medley
Wild Thing
Love Somebody
My Generation
Human Touch
Jessie's Girl
Encore:
Wasted
Love is Alright Tonite
Memorable moments from the show -- During Don't Talk to Strangers he had several people sing - one lady had her mom there and it was her 75th birthday, and then one boy was brought on stage wearing a homemade t-shirt. He was so excited to sing it was cute. At one point, Rick commented after a song "Not too bad for a Doctor?" that was cute and then when he heard "Eli" yelled he treated us to a bit of his Aussie accent. {Which clued those of us who'd been on the road and missing GH that Eli was to be an Australian singer! sweet!} The medley was GREAT! I swear, although I'd love to hear the entire song - hearing bits of Celebrate Youth and Calling All Girls is just a treat. Even makes me appreciate IGE again. When he came out into the audience he came right down our aisle - pacing back and forth a bit. I once again got to hold him up a bit during "Love Somebody", what is it with that song? He ventured back 8-9 rows and covered the sides fairly well. I was SO happy to hear "Wasted" in the encore. Sweet! :)
Rumor Mill - what's that we hear about someone turning over Rick's bed......possible band prank?
