Ricky does Dallas

Rick Springfield
13th Annual Rowlett Festival of Freedom
Pecan Grove Park
June 23, 2007

The night after playing the House of Blues in Chicago, Rick headed to Dallas where he played the Festival of Freedom in Rowlett. The opening act for him was the band Ambrosia, which coincidentally, Rick covered one of their songs "Holding on to Yesterday" on his latest cd (The Day After Yesterday) . There was also a Fireworks show before Rick came on, so some people got two fireworks shows that night (because some people report seeing Fireworks whenever Rick appears).
The set list was reported to be:

Who Killed Rock And 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
Love Somebody
My Generation
Human Touch
Jessie's Girl
Encore:
Wasted
Love Is Alright Tonite

People seemed especially excited to see a two song encore and to hear Wasted, which seems to be a fan favorite.
