The Squirts Concert The Rick Springfield Fan Appreciation Concert
Palladium Lounge
This was to be our "fun day" at sea and it was anything but if you were one of those that were sick. I spent the day in my cabin in bed in hopes I would feel better for the last show. And rest paid off and I made it to the show.
The Squirts
Mark Goodman was our host and we were treated to The Squirts first and they never disappoint. Matt was wearing a life vest during the first part of the show and Rodger had a funky hot pink hat on jamming away on drums. George B was quite chatty also. They played great music from their CD's, which if you don't have, go get them now!

eciation Concert 
We voted and they played!As I got ready for the show I could hear sound check pretty clearly so I knew they were going to play WKRR and that they did. Rick opened the final show with it. After that they played two more SDAA songs and it almost seemed like we would get a whole SDAA concert. lol Rick mentioned that they hadn't had time to rehearse so if they sucked that was why. No need to worry Rick, because the show ROCKED! I believe Rick asked if anyone had been sick that day and can we feel the ship still moving. It had slowed down by show time but at the end of the ship we could still feel it. No crowd surfing and Ronnie had to bring Rick his lyric sheets, which Rick threw all over the stage as he performed the songs.
There was a marriage proposal on stage and a final IGE girl. Rick said "There was a good balance of very polite and very psycho fans" on the cruise. The show ended with the song Rick & John agreed summed up the cruise "All Right Now" where Rick thanked all of his guests (they also joined him on stage) and the band. Rick & John performed this as a duet and they rocked.
