Nice picture, especially the last one. By the way, I see a baseball stadium in one of the pictures. Is that the place in which the concert will be tomorrow?
No, thats Busch stadium in the pic. Concert is indoors at the Scctttrade Center a couple blocks further from the arch than the baseball stadium.

That's Busch Stadium III. Paul is not playing there tomorrow. The Scottrade Center where Paul is playing is about 1-mile west of the stadium. The empty patch of grass to the right of the stadium in the picture above is where Busch Stadium II used to stand. Paul played Busch Stadium II in 1989 and 1966. Busch Stadium II was torn down in 2005.

Thank you for the info, folks. How many seats are there at Scottrade Center? By the way, is there an area to watch the concert standing up (general admission) or does every ticket holder have a reserved seat?

The Scottrade Center seats approx. 18,000. Reserved seating only at the venue. The Scottrade Center is home to the National Hockey League - St. Louis Blues. No hockey has been played at the venue this season The NHL owners have locked out the players so far this hockey season over $$$, of course.

Thanks Wix! Any idea of what time Paul will be arriving? We'd like to get there early enough to do the 'wave' bit and get the thumbs up! BTW- Spent a couple of hours with Wix back in 89. Lot of fun and he knows his music.
I'd expect him to arrive between 4-5pm at the venue. I'm not sure if he's actually in St. Louis yet though. I know the band is and I'd assume they would rehearse at the arena today but, does anyone know for sure? SO cool you got to hang with Wix! Dream come true, eh?! --- Great to hear everyone is arriving safely btw! Beautiful pictures Mark!

Everyone from out of town to see the show should visit Blueberry Hill in the Delmar Loop, University City, MO. Blueberry Hill is where Chuck Berry performs live once a month inside the Duck Room. Chuck Berry is still going strong at age 86. Lots of Rock and Roll Memorabilia inside Blueberry Hill, including Beatles Memorabilia. Great Food and Drink at Blueberry Hill. The new Chuck Berry statue stands across the street from Blueberry Hill.

I think we might pay it a visit!

Rod and I just had dinner @ Maggie's. Friendly folks! If you go there, ask for Chelsea (she took our picture )

I'm sure Paul is doing a REHEARSAL right now at the Arena (unless is booked now for some other act?)
-
Wix, I'd love to tell you about it! Sounds like an after concert cocktail story hour.

Someone said they saw Paul leaving rehearsal today! We were there but had leave when mom didn't feel well. (She's better now!) Congrats to everyone who got "the wave" tonight--we did the day before the KC show last year! We'll ALL be seeing him SOON!!

Just made it across the state line into Illinois--18 hours of driving down, just about 3 more to go. See you all tomorrow! I'm going to try to hit up a few vintage record stores, Blueberry Hills, and the arch prior to the show. If I don't bump into any of your pre-show, I'll be seeing you all post-show at the Hard Rock/Maggie O'Brien's. I'll be the woman with an eyebrow ring and a rolled-up, neon green poster under my arm.
