Rick seems really excited about the cruise and talked about a Hard to Hold night so maybe it will be a reality. Someone said "take it off" and he said no, that will be on the cruise. And the brown shirt Rick seems to be favoring has made its way to the East Coast.
For DTTS Rick ventured pretty far into the crowd. He made his way to my friend Sue, who instead of singing the required verse, sang "We really Love you" Rick replied with a "How gave you permission to change the words to my song? That’s copy right infringement" laughing as he made his way to his next victim. The came the little boy from the front row. Rick just loved him. He couldn’t wait to get him on stage. He wanted to take him home with him. He had him sing and then returned him reluctantly.
After getting hooked up for his crowd surfing as he was playing his intro for Love Somebody he went back to the little boy and sat on the edge of the stage and put him under his guitar and it looked almost like he was trying to teach him how to play.
He did his crowd surfing bit and as he was trying to use someone’s cell phone the band was singing call someone, call someone. Rick called someones husband and the husband knew right away that it was Rick. After his call he made it pretty far back almost to row T of the upper section. He got back to the stage (and there were no falls tonight) before Human Touch ended .

Group Review
Keep in mind we did the review pretty late last night so if we forgot anything feel free to leave a comment.
The final night of the East Coast triple header and we got another varied set list (see below). We started out with the norm and then Rick grabbed a harmonica and announced since it was third night in a row he was tired of the set list already and it was "free form" tonight so he proceeded to do Love Me Do along with Matt on Vocals. That was really cool. It really set the tone for the night.
Rick was quite chatty tonight and he also was jumping and dancing around the stage. Rick and the band seemed to have a few inside jokes going on and Rick had trouble with some words to Kristina because he was laughing so hard after saying something to Rodger & Matt.

Then Rick noticed this really quite little boy in the front row and fell in love with him. He started to talk about his sons and how he wished his boys were still that age. He also said how he called one of them because he was passing through NY and his son was there. He wanted to get together with him but his son didn’t have the time for Dad! The audience gave the required group "awe"

The Before & During picturesFor Jessie’s Girl he threw up the Red Rare Iguana guitar, which sadly is no more. It funny because we had just been talking about how he hadn’t smashed a guitar in a quite a while. Rick threw a piece of it to the little boy in the front row and left the stage.
Back for the encore and he gets on stage and pauses and then starts to play Wasted!!!!! Very cool. Yet again a new song or an "oldie but not that old" as Rick said to end the evening.
It’s been a really really long weekend but it was a blast and I really think Rick and the guys enjoyed it as much as we all did.
Rick also made an appearance at a club at The Borgata after the show. He showed up at the club Mixx. I wasn’t there but I have been told that he was in a ropped off area but he had been dancing and the friends that went had a great time. Feel free to leave a comment if you were there.
