Gotta tell ya, I got a Lionel Richie live CD a few years back that made me wish the same thing (although, in a different zip code.)
The man is an amazing live performer. Underrated in my opinion.
Maybe St. Louis will get the rumored Commodores reunion tour.
Posted On: Friday, Jul. 24 2009 @ 2:18PMIf memory serves me correctly Lionel Richie's last St. Louis play was in May 2000 on Ms. Turner's "Twenty-Four Seven" Tour.
A year later to the month (May 2001) Ike Turner received his Star on the St. Louis Walk Of Fame and played The Pageant later that night.
