The Family Arena
St Charles, MO
Review & Picture by Rosie Malthaner
Even though Rick was feeling under the weather, you would never know it by the show he put on Friday night in St Charles. John Waite performed first and had a really good set (now looking forward to him much more on the cruise). There wasn't much of a wait for Rick & the boys to come out. The launched into WKRR right away and it set the tone for the show. Rick was playful and seemed to be really enjoying himself. The new leather jacket made an appearance as well as a grey shirt that I hadn't seen before.
Security allowed the stage to be rushed since there was quite a distance from the first row of seats and the two people in wheelchairs were given a nice spot right by the center stage stairs. Rick was sure to come say hi to them. There were also big speakers on the floor in front of the mic stand so that gave Rick a little more room to come out to the fans.
He picked on the security guard, who willingly sang DTTS. Rick found a few more victims (sorry, I am a fear of this so I always think of them as victims LOL). WVS got a big cheer. When it came time to come out into the audience Rick paced the stage for all of Love Somebody and started My Generation before coming out. He made it all the way to the back and up on the side sections of the arena. I'm sure there were some surprised and very happy fans back there.
Back to the stage for Jessie's Girl, then he smashed a red guitar before taking a break before the encore. Back for the encore in a WKRR shirt. Rick then played I'll Miss that Someday and Love is Alright Tonight returned after its absence last weekend to end the show. Rick made sure to start at the very end of the stage and make it all the way to the other end high fiving the fans to end the night..
