RICK SPRINGFIELD IN CONCERT:
Rock superstar Rick Springfield has been wooing audiences with his polished voice and leading-man looks ever since his rise to fame in the early '70s. More than four decades later, he looks and sounds as good as ever, treating fans to an unforgettable evening of solo performance and storytelling on his Stripped Down tour. Taking time between each song to relay the touching and humorous stories that inspired them, Springfield has proven that his talents as an entertainer extend well beyond his musical abilities. Whether fans catch him solo or performing with a full band, they can count on plenty of showmanship and charisma as he works his way through nostalgic hits like "Jesse's Girl" and "Don't Talk to Strangers."
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Australian-born Rick Springfield began playing the guitar at age 13, cutting his teeth in several bands in England after his army officer father relocated the family there in 1958. After a stint fronting the British band Zoot in the late '60s, Springfield launched his solo career in 1971 with debut single "Speak to the Sky," a Top 10 hit in his native Australia. After releasing several moderately successful albums in the '70s, Springfield hit his stride in 1981 with Working Class Dog, a massive success propelled by the No. 1 hit "Jesse's Girl." 1982's My Success Hasn't Spoiled Yet fared similarly, landing at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 and spawning several more hit singles. A veteran showman with four decades of touring under his belt, Springfield returns to the road once again for a string of highly anticipated tour dates.
FANS WHO BOUGHT TICKETS SAY:
"Loved the more intimate setting of just Rick, loved the stories mixed in with the songs."
"Rick sounds great! He tells the stories behind the songs. So fun!"
"Not only was his music incredible, but his stories and humor made the evening a blast for our group of six!"
Rick Springfield and Richard Marx put on one heck of a show. I took my wife expecting it to be a show geared totally toward the women. That was far from the reality. They really interacted with the audience and some interactions like guys do at the golf course or the barber shop.
I love that they are truly friends. Sharing the stage together for an intimate concert with stories, jokes, and just positive vibes the entire evening
I saw him a couple of times in the 80’s and wow, he’s still got it!! An amazing show and to brave the audience like that (granted, we are older and more mature), that young girl excitement was still very real. He looks and sounds fabulous even at 74!
38 Special superb. Rick Springfield was great. You would never know he’s 74 y/o. He was awesome. Concert started on time which is always appreciated by a fan like me. Adequate parking was available. Easy access in gates with my downloaded ticket information on my phone to scan at gates. Convenient access to rest rooms, concession stands for foods and drinks, and memorabilia purchases. Security seen around venue. Staff available to help u find your seat. Leaving after concert was not bad either. Only problem smokers. People shouldn’t be allowed to smoke next to you while seated. Make them go to smoking area. As a non smoker, I don’t want to be subjected to that at all.
Rick Sucked! His foul language was not appreciated and he needs to retire.
Rick is always great...Richard Marx was an amazing addition. The two of them together made for an amazing and fun night..
Rick was entirely too loud-we could not enjoy his voice until the last 3-4 songs.
38 Special was great but Rick Springfield was terrible. He sang his first two songs then kept going into weird rants and planing songs we didn’t know. Strange videos in the background didn’t help. About halfway we left and we were not the only ones. Very sad attendance sections were empty.
He is such a kind and person , he loves everyone. I have seen him perform well over fifty times!!!
Rick Springfield is a legend in my books! What an amazing show and musician he is! 38 Special was awesome as well! Great way to end Mother’s Day with a trip down memory lane and feeling like I’m a teenager again!
