Rick Springfield And Richard Marx In Vegas: What To Expect

Author Wendy Rush
Rick Springfield and Richard Marx together on stage will be a treat for fans of both musicians.

Two iconic 80’s musicians are coming to Las Vegas for what is sure to be an unforgettable concert. Rick Springfield and Richard Marx will be performing an exclusive acoustic show at the Pearl Theater at the Palms Casino Resort for one night only, on Saturday night, August 17, 2024.

An Acoustic Evening With Rick Springfield And Richard Marx

The show will highlight the musical ability of both artists, known mostly for their solo work in the 1980’s. Rick Springfield had a string of solo hits, including “Jessie’s Girl” and “Don’t Talk To Strangers”. He also gained fame as a television heartthrob in his role as Noah Drake on General Hospital. Springfield also appeared briefly on other popular shows, including The Six Million Dollar Man in 1977 and The Rockford Files in 1978. As a musician, Springfield earned a Grammy Award in 1981 for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance. And followed that success with four more top ten hits in the United States.

Springfield will no doubt bring those hits to this acoustic performance. Besides “Jessie’s Girl” and “Don’t Talk To Strangers”, fans can also probably expect “I’ve Done Everything For You” and “An Affair of the Heart”. Since Springfield’s hits did not chart in acoustic versions, the show will be something unique for the audience.

Springfield alone is always a treat for music-lovers, but Rick Springfield and Richard Marx together on the same stage will be even more so. Marx got his start in the music world as a songwriter. His first success was with 1984’s “What About Me”, which was recorded by Kim Carnes, Kenny Rogers, and James Ingram. His first hit as a singer came with “Don’t Mean Nothing” from Marx’s 1987 self-titled debut album. Marx had three #1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart. Including “Hold Onto The Nights”, “Right Here Waiting”, and “Satisfied”.

Richard Marx has been contributing to his “Living Room Sessions” on YouTube for several years. Reminding fans that on guitar or piano, this guy still brings it to everything he does in music. And his voice is just as rich as it was in the 80’s.

Rick Springfield and Richard Marx together in one show is going to be an unforgettable night. Both musicians have a passion and energy that connects to the crowd. And a collective repertoire of hits that will bring them back to the glory days of the past.

Along with their own hits, the setlist for Rick Springfield and Richard Marx in previous performances has also included songs from Sammy Hagar, Lionel Richie, Vertical Horizon, and the Beatles. Doors open at 7 p.m. Show starts at 8 p.m.

8 Outrageous Tour Rider Demands and Other Requests

Tour riders are often some of the most interesting parts of any artist or band’s tour. They often offer an inside look into just how high-maintenance some artists can be. This is often exemplified by how specific their requests might be.

Some rock stars require specific kinds of food and drink, while others clearly want a dressing room that sets a certain mood. Some tour riders feature requests so outrageous they must be a joke. Other tour riders — like one infamous one at the very end of our list — feature details that are actually requests to see if you read the rider at all.

And then there are rock stars like Queens of the Stone Age frontman Josh Homme, who likes to see just what he can get away with. He shared in a recent interview, ” … As the years have gone on, and we had access to more and more outrageous requests being honored, it starts to make you ask for strange things.” Homme also claims that asking for strange things is a sign of having a good sense of humor, which he says, “other than injections,” keeps you young.

So, what strange things have Homme asked for on his rider? Apparently, it has included chocolate-covered ants and a map of Ireland on his dressing room wall.

Homme said, “People would ask me, ‘Josh, why do you have chocolate-covered ants and a framed map of Ireland?’ and I would say, ‘Wouldn’t you like to know, mind your damn business.'”

Our list below highlights eight tour riders. The first from Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band made headlines back in 2023. (Make no mistake: When a tour rider is leaked, it almost always makes headlines. There are at least a few items on it that leave you asking, “Umm…really?!”)

Without further ado, keep scrolling and find out which of your favorite rock stars have interesting requests on their tour riders.
