Dang it was mostly "old" people at the concert. The good thing is we all pretty much sat to enjoy the music, and stood for the big numbers at the end of a set. I never did want to stand through a whole concert, even back in the day.
Tommy Tutone opened at exactly 7:30 pm. He was amusing and of course we could all sing along - Jenny, Jenny 867-5309
Paul Young was a UK dude and I only knew one song. His set was the weakest. The man lost his voice and his looks. His big number was an old Daryl Hall song - Every Time You Go Away.
Next up - Hooters - a Philly band. They still sounded great and were tight. Lots of great songs and energy. And We Danced, All You Zombies, Day by Day I really enjoyed them after all of these years.
Finally - our star, Rick Springfield. He's 74 but looks great - lean with the leather coat, long hair. He's lost a bit of the voice, but still adequate. He talked, had videos playing of himself back in the day of pretty boy, General Hospital, etc. You can tell he was having a blast and could also laugh a bit at his image. And the finale song was Jessie's Girl - he had his shirt off, sang like crazy, and really ended on a high note.
Fun time all around and Ray was a good sport for taking me. He knew some lyrics too!
That is quite the blast from the past. Springfield looks great for his age. Paired with Hagar? Quite the combo!
ReplyDeleteYes. He looked great and exuded a lot of energy. Then again, it might take him two days to recover. Ha!
DeleteStill looks spry for his age. Sounds like a fun time. But yeah, I never want to stand for a whole concert either.
ReplyDeleteIt was fun and he sang the hits on key. Hoorah! I stand for the encore. Hope you are well!
