Enterprise Center | St. Louis MO
Summary
October 25, 2024, in St. Louis, we were ready for Usher’s SOLD OUT Past, Present, Future Tour which landed at the Enterprise Center! And honestly, no surprise there—this is Usher we’re talking about! Heck, we barely got a ticket ourselves, and once we made it inside, the energy was next level.
When the lights dimmed the crowd went wild. Usher made his grand entrance like the icon he is and his style screamed superstar. From the second he stepped onto that stage, it was clear: Usher came to shut it down. He launched straight into a medley of his classics, including “My Way” & You Make Me Wanna”. The vibe in the Enterprise Center was off the charts. This wasn’t just a concert; it was a moment. His dancers hit the stage with precision, the visuals were mesmerizing, and Usher? Well, he was gliding across that stage like it was built just for him. I loved how he showed video clips of himself through the “past” stages of his career. To see him so young, the huge star in the making, St. Louis was alive with nostalgia, joy, and pure Usher magic.
The Setlist: Hits for Days
U Remind Me, U Don’t Have to Call, Caught Up, Don’t Waste My Time, Love in This Club, Lovers and Friends, Climax, Burn, Confessions Part II, Superstar, My Boo, Good Kisser, Bad Girl, Good Good The setlist was everything you’d expect and more—a journey through Usher’s unmatched career. From the soulful slow jams of “Nice & Slow” and “U Got It Bad” to the club-shaking beats of “Yeah!” and “OMG,” he gave us the past, present, and future of R&B. When he pulled out “There Goes My Baby,” the ladies in the crowd absolutely lost it. (Spoiler alert: I was right there with them.) And you know the energy hit a high when the iconic roller skates came out for “Superstar”—a nod to his Vegas residency that had everyone in awe.
The Audience: The Ladies Were READY
St. Louis showed Usher major love, and the ladies? Whew, they came READY. Groups of girlfriends, couples on date night, and solo superfans packed the Enterprise Center and turned it into an R&B lovefest, Fans were hoping Usher would take notice and get that one-on-one attention we’ve been seeing on social media. The energy from the crowd fed Usher mad love all around.
St. Louis vs. Las Vegas: My Personal Take
Now, let’s keep it real. I don’t mean to compare but I saw Usher’s Las Vegas residency in 2022, and while St. Louis got every ounce of Usher’s energy (and trust me, he left it ALL on that stage), the Vegas residency? It was next-level spectacular. Vegas brought the glitz, the glamour, and a production that was indeed larger than life. Regarding the Past, Present, Future tour in St. Louis, hmmm while Usher did his thing…at the same time he didn’t. Let me explain…St Louis show was good… but Vegas was EVERYTHING and then some, plus more! Would I see Usher again? I’m not sure yet….Sorry Usher, Vegas spoiled me…so if he gave his all like THAT, then of course I’d see him again and again.
Whether it’s a residency in Vegas or a sold-out arena tour, Usher reminds us why he’s not just a performer—he’s a phenomenon. So, if you’re thinking about catching Usher, just do it. He will definitely take you on a journey through your favorite memories and leave you dancing all the way home.
