Rick Springfield Tonight!

sashamatthews — Thu, 29 Aug 2019 17:46:25 GMT

On a positive note, I am going to see him again tonight. He is still you-know-what on a stick!!! If the loudest screams I have ever heard at a show were for the Backstreet Boys, the second loudest were for Rick. He was on "General Hospital" when I saw him the first time This must be the sixth time, and he is still terrific. I'm sixth row center on the floor so I get to enjoy him up close for 90 minutes ...

Enjoy! I saw the Stones the other night. GREAT concert! The energy was HIGH, and these guys are, hmmm, lets just say, not young! I was marveling at that. LOL

Wow! I watched some videos from their shows on this tour. It would still be exciting to see them. I've got Brooks & Dunn tomorrow night, then Peter Frampton on Monday night. And I am looking for something over the weekend! LOL

I am soooooo jealous. The stones were my very first concert. I wan't to see them again before they stop touring, but they aren't coming to my town and the ticket prices in other cities (with airfare and hotel) are out of reach.

Have a blast @sashamatthews , love him!!! I can not believe Rick

turned 70 this year. I saw him twice in concert, the last being last

September, and he puts on one of the best shows that I have ever

seen. He is like no one else his age.

Rick as Noah, bottom left, also loved him on G.H.

I heard "Don't Talk to Strangers" the other day playing in a grocery

store and I was singing along with it.

@sashamatthews Is Rick in concert by himself?

When I saw him last fall, the first performer was Tommy Tune, Greg

Kihn, Eddie Money and then finally Rick came out. I looked up his

concert dates and it looks like he is still doing some dates with those

guys and alone.

After the concert, come back on and tell us how much you enjoyed it.

@Travone The concert was fabulous! I'm sorry you can't go, but I do understand on the cost.... WAY too high! There was a guy sitting in front of me who works for an airline. He had flown in from Charlotte to Phoenix for free. And, he also saw them in New Orleans! Free airfare makes it much more feasible!

Oh that sounds like fun. Always loved his song “Jessie’s Girl.” My husband and I saw Van Morrison in Chicago in April. He was just excellent!

That song has been stuck in my head all afternoon since I read this post 😆

@sashamatthews - how fun for you! Hope you enjoy the concert! A friend in high school won tickets calling in to a local radio station to go on a boat trip to Mount Vernon from DC with him right after his first album was released. Probably fall of 1972. So, we all got to meet him and hear him sing and he signed the albums they gave us. I may still have the album upstairs someplace now that I think of it. He probably was thinking "what the heck am I doing with all these teenagers on a boat..." Not that he was all that old himself at the time. :-)

I saw him perform at Epcot. It was awesome. Not a full concert, but I was happy to be in his presence! Such a cutie!

The show was great! He did mention he turned 70 this year, but he honestly looks about 50, and is still such a dish! Of course, he did come down and walk through the crowd in the arena - I have seen him do that before. But as I was watching him, I remembered something Dave Grohl once said: how many musicians are known by the first three notes of a song? "Jessie's Girl" exploded as the last song - I am so glad I went.

@sashamatthews - Oh you lucky girl you! I fell in love with Dr. Noah Drake on General Hospital and when Jessie's Girl came out, I was over the moon!

Saw him several times during the years and I missed him when he came to Memphis this year.

He looks so darn good at 70 and I'd still marry him if he asked me! lol

Btw - did you ever see him in the movie with Meryl Streep, Ricki and the Flash? Omg - he looked so good!

Yes - I saw that movie. I am looking for a DVD of the TV film when he played a vampire. I have to check to see if a copy is available now - it wasn't a couple of years ago.
