February 1, 2020 – Bergen PAC, Englewood NJ
Rick Springfield, the Grammy award winning singer, songwriter, musician and accomplished actor who has sold over 25 million albums and scored 17 U.S. Top 40 hits is on tour! The “Stripped Down Tour” is exactly that – a bare bones, authentically stripped-down experience with intimate, heartwarming stories of his personal life and the making of his music. The stage was dark and set with six guitars, a microphone, and a huge screen that was filled with photos and videos of his career.
Rick opened the show with “I get Excited” which immediately caused all the women in the audience to get excited and spring to their feet. It’s no surprise that the entire audience was comprise of pretty much ALL women, as I only spotted a few men with what seemed to be reluctant eyes of jealousy. The evening followed with such hits as; “An Affair of the Heart”, “But don’t Try to Tell me” and ”Jessie’s Girl”.
“The Human Touch” performance was an explosive and spontaneous, almost a “meet and greet” type of experience as Rick ran through the audience. The entertainer took his time going around the entire theatre posing for selfies with his adoring fans, even going as far as to give hugs, providing his fans with a little more of a personal, safe-keep moment with their heartthrob.
