The Frist day of The First Annual Rick Springfield & Friends Cruise

Thursday, November 13th 2008
First show at the Palladium Lounge-
John Waite Acoustic Concert w/George Bernhardt on guitar
Rick Springfield & Full Band concert

Welcome Aboard!

After checking in and receiving our wrist bands that would identify us for the next few days the party got started!



After a warm welcome from Mark Goodman, the first show got
underway with John Waite and George Bernhardt accompanying
him on guitar. The played for about a half an hour and both seemed to be really enjoying themselves.





Mark came back out to announce Rick's first show but first up were some drawings for front row seats and the fan MC's for the show Sunday. The new intro with Rodger in the spotlight (very cool) Rick came out and asked if you could feel the ship move? There were sound problems but Rick the true performer played through them. We started off the show with Mr. PC and Rick sang half of it with no sound from his mic but you could still hear the band rockin! Rick picked on a few victims for DTTS and the camera man (only time he played it all weekend)

Rick was quite chatty and even treated us to a "moon over Miami" well not quite over Miami but Rick felt the need to drop his pants and moon us in response to the sound issues. Sorry, no pictures to share of that one. The set list was pretty standard the first night with the exception of a full IGE but I do have to say the Venus in Overdrive ROCKS live and the band just rock the house with it. This one needs to be added permanently.
