Rick Springfield - Live and Luscious

Live and What? (Rick's thoughts exactly). That's what the poster advertising the Feather Falls Casino concert said (and judging by the picture we're posting from the Albuquerque concert, they weren't kidding). We didn't manage to get a picture of that poster, it was gone before the show started, but maybe someone did.
Rick Springfield performed two concerts this week - Feather Falls Casino in Oroville, CA and Route 66 Casino in Albuquerque, NM. The set list for the first night, was very similar to the Wendover show, and the Albuquerque show was similar minus Gloria. One slight change in a lyric that immediately caught my attention was during Will I - "I broke my heart on the reef of your insecurity". Which show was the best? Well, reviews are mixed, but not unkind (and yes, he did perform Alyson both nights) - I know I personally liked the Albuquerque show better, but I know others who went to both shows who preferred Oroville, but they were both high energy, crowd pleasing performances.
For pictures from the weekend, be sure to check out the picture spotlight section, which will be updated by the end of the day, and within a few weeks, more pictures will be added to the 2007 concert section.
Rick has no shows scheduled again until the "7 shows in 8 days extravaganza" going on the first Week of May. We are hoping to blog the Milwaukee experience in a very timely manner, so stay tuned for that, too
