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!"
Wow, what can I say!!!! I felt like I was 15 again. It was the best time I have had in a while!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rick Springfield was one absolute amazing show! Rick's energy and crowd interaction made for one hot rock 'n roll night!! Casino Rama gets the best and Rick's show proved it 110%. Great Music. Great Sound. Great Time. Bring him back soon!!!
What an awesome concert! Seats were great, music was great, everything was great! Rick still has a great body!
I got the tickets for my brother and his girlfriend. She has been diagnosed with cancer and has been undergoing chemo...that night Rick Springfield made her forget...they loved the concert. They still can not stop thanking me for the great night they had...Thanks Rick for still knowing how to Rock.
I was a little concerned what the concert would be like given his age, but from the moment he came on stage my worries were over. His show was full of energy, and he went from one song to another, rarely stopping for a breath. He sang all my favourite songs, and I left the show thouroughly impressed. Probably one of the best shows I've seen at this venue.
This was a great night out for everyone. RIck is an great singer/musician as well as a wonderful entertainer. The band was rockin and Rick never sounded better. The music was very memorable and even the new material was great. The whole show was very well put together and guaranteed to get everyone boppin.
He was amazing, he put on a show to rival any 20 year old, and he is almost 60. the best looking 59 year old, he's voice was wonderful, he brought the crowd to there feet he walked through the crowd, to give us an opportunity to get close to him. I hope he comes back to Ontario again this time not a 20 year wait
Rick Springfield was my first teen heartthrob....so i was VERY excited for the opportunity to see him..LIVE. WOW!!! He was fantastic ....so much energy ...so much fun...
Fantastic show! Rick knows how to reach out and touch his fans- literally! Can't wait until he comes back to Canada!
Was like being 14 years old again. He looked and sounded as great now as he did then. Great music from the 80s up to current music
Myself and a bunch of friends went to see Rick Springfield at Casino Rama. The show was amazing! Rick did not disappoint with great music, lots of interaction and fun with the audience. He's still got it! We had a really great time.
This concert was amazing. It has to be the best Rick Springfield concert I have ever been to. There were 5 of us that went and we all had different seat all over the arena and nobody had a bad spot. He just gets better and better with age. I really enjoy the parts where he interacts with his fans. He just knows how to work an audience. The roses on the guitar were a nice touch. I wish I had his energy and stamina. He just rocked the place and I can't wait for him to come back to Ontario again.
One word review - AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I had waited since I was 14yrs. old to see Rick Springfield. All I can say is it was worth the wait! His enthusiasm, music, and audience participation was incredible. He had a terrific sense of humor, and the way he included the audience was something I had never seen before. He didn't disappoint. At the end, he left us wanting more, and he came out for two encores. He was just like I imagined. I would recommend, young and old to see him. He caters to everyone's likes. He is just an awesome entertainer, singer, and writer.
Went to see Rick Springfield at Casino Rama on July 4, 2009. AMAZING!!!! He sounded as good as ever, was as sexy as ever, and my jaw dropped when he said that he was going to be 60 in August. If that is 60 I want one. Did a couple of songs from his new CD, which is a really good CD. The crowd totally erupted when he did Jessie's Girl which his nieces dancing around him and the band. Again AMAZING. So glad I went and will so go see him again when he passes through town.
My wife and I were not disappointed at all. It's unbelievable Rick could still perform that well despite his age...like he hasn't grown old.
Did all the great hits and he looked and sounded great. I would definitely go again!
I was amazed at the performance Rick Springfield put on. He was simply amazing. So much energy. I still can't believe he is going to be 60 years old!! He was rocking out to all his tunes, and I'm sure men half his age couldn't keep up with him. It was a great experience. And the ticket price was unbelievable. It was a great time!!
I would recommend seeing Rick Springfield to anyone accept I want first dibs if he comes back! His show was amazing, Ive been wanting to see him since I was about hmmm 12! Im sooo glad i got to see him and I wish that he will come back soon! He has such carisma and energy! Thanks for the oportunnity to see him! and to talk about him.
This show rocked my socks off. I bopped til I dropped, but I didn't talk to strangers! :-) I would recommend this show to everybody in my Facebook list. Especially the great bass player made the evening extra funky. I heard the big beat - the rock of life. It was hard to hold my excitement. I got excited, just thinking what it was going to be like. It feels like the concert was just the day after yesterday. The sound and stage setup were fantastic.
