Rick Springfield & Foo Fighters - Jessie's Girl - 1.31.13

Sound City Players live at Hollywood Palladium

[@Darwin65254]

Jessie's Girl is one of the great pop/rock songs ever to hit the top 40.

[@dwaiting883]

Rick has played with some great touring musicians but it’s been a really long time that these old classics of his have really rocked with a solid 4 on the floor. RIP Taylor. U killed it bro.

[@Mooseboy08]

LOL "Three f**king chords, and they know what the song is! Congratulations, Rick Sprignfield!" Dave Grohl is hilarious.

[@strivingformindfulness2356]

"I can name that tune in one note."

[@mikeserrano3813]

I've seen Rick Springfield on his 60 th and 70 th birthday both at the fruit yard venue in Modesto ca. With my two daughters..he just keeps getting better!

[@dannymiles6503]

Thats the thing about Dave and The Foos. There is nobody else in rock who knows how to honour and respect the great artists and songs that came before them. Ive lost count from Jimmy Page to Rick Astley, to Alice Cooper. Im in my 60s and im thrilled to go see Dave and The Foos whenever i can. They are as great as any band ever in my books.

[@kellypatterson9456]

Dang Rick Springfield! I think you know your guitar won’t hit the floor! Freaking rock star!!!!!!!

[@williamsmith8790]

Dave is always really good at sitting back and letting his guests have the spot light.

[@madeleinehague648]

I love Dave Grohl to bits. In a world of no more radio, of shitty, over-produced, no-melody EDM, etc., THIS is rock and roll, and Dave recognizes that.

[@offlcialkimhyunjoong8759]

Thanks for your love and support. It has been a hard time for me going through this but your love and support keeps me going and standing strong in this difficult times . I do read your heartwarming comments and I truly appreciate all you've done for me throughout the years.🎶

[@charlesc7950]

I love how Dave Grohl and the Foo Fighters don't poo poo on pop rock. They know a great song is a great song. That's so fucking cool.

[@jenniferroos1103]

I never appreciated this song when it came out. Took until I was 53 to really hear something in it.

[@mrl232]

Look at how much Dave is enjoying playing that with Rick. Dave is such a cool fun guy that never ever seems to let any of it go to his head. Those guys are just oozing fun. Great job not taking any of it too seriously. Awesome.

These guys really do their homework to make it sound amazing.

[@user-rd8vp6nq8b]

I still have working class dog on tape that was jogging on the Ventura Pier One Night in the early 90s when Rick Springfield was filming his show pretty cool guy ,rick told me to jog through the scene as they were filming was pretty cool, then I watch this show and there I was running through wow,lol

[@boriqua102268]

Rick is a very underrated guitarist

[@dragonflyflutterby2952]

He is! I’ve been saying it for years 😁 He sounds exactly the same as when I’d come home late at night on the weekend and turn on the t.v. to one of those late night rock shows and I’d think wow, he’s really cute, and he can play! 😅 But i’m a girl so no one listened. 😁🎸🎶🎵🎤 Dave and The Foo’s are pretty good too. I’m also very sorry for Taylor’s family and his friends. I have to believe he is at peace…♥️🕯

[@godsinbox]

your point is probably moot

[@matthewburrows4359]

I cannot believe that Rick is 63 he looks amazing.

[@stevestringer7351]

I love how the Foo Fighters play a lot if covers with other artists. Just makes them even better!

So glad I stumbled across this video. I still have the vinyl record of this I bought in 1981 when I was 12. At fucking KMart, and I had to take a bus to get there. Like a day spent. Shit's changed.

That's crazy, Rick Springfield was my first concert experience, 1982, I believe, Universal Amphitheater at Universal Studios! His full concert is on Amazon Prime Video for those interested!

I just went to a vintage record store yesterday with my boys and found Rick's first solo album and was freaking out in the store! The owner was laughing and said we just got it in! Out of over thousands of tapes, cds, albums and 45's, I hit the jackpot! And to mention I'm I huge Foo fan so I'm so happy right now! ❤️😁

Rick F ing Springfield Loved This

[@karenpearlman4547]

I love everything about this

[@MrStevecro]

left Australia when he was 22 to try for a career in the States - and got one. He's looking pretty good and energetic up there for a 63 year old. But the really big deal is that they're enjoying themselves and each other's company.......

[@True-trini]

So many things to love about this ciip......three chords and we all know the song, Rick's playful treatment of a song he's already sung about a zillion times and the audience singing along with full gusto (my favourite part).

[@samstevens7172]

If they ever have a Secretary of Music, Dave Grohl should have the job for life. He loves it all.

[@chaunybuck6065]

This is sooo spot on

[@cecilialozano1056]

I was around 9 or 10 years old and I had a major crush on Rick Springfield in the early 80s. he is still very good looking even now.

I went to see Springfield 2 days ago, that was my 2nd concert of Rick and it was great and the memories of the 80's came back right away! I'm living at FL but I was living & partying in Lima back in those years, the guy is great & I enjoyed the concert & I even bought the Rick's guitar for my son! Romantics & Loverboy were ok

[@martykate6836]

They're having too much fucking fun up there--they obviously like each other

[@1Rockdad]

They have known each other for quite a while. Roots back to Sound City. Grohl now owns the board Jesse's Girl was mixed on.

[@mogu05]

Wow!!!🤩 I'm amazed that my favorite Rick Springfield and the Foo Fighters performed together 10 years ago!🎸 I am so happy i got to see this video!🤩

That was really cool of David to bring on Rick Springfield, that song's a classic. I bet they all enjoy to play it.

[@JD-ot3df]

[@anael169]

Nobody mentions Chris Shiflett's masterful display of lead guitar skills during the solo. That ain't Rick or Dave, it's Chris, he's off camera to the left.

[@williamsmith8790]

Saw him a couple of years ago. High energy, great sound. He was 61 then.

[@showtime951]

What Dave and the Fighters do is so at once incredibly simple, incredibly valuable, and incredibly unique. First, they pick artists they want to play with and songs that they enjoy. The audience is secondary but they know if they are compelled, a lot of their audience probably is too. Then comes their prototype method of totally humanizing the "Guest-Talent" while absolutely worshiping and showcasing that Talent at the same time. Each member of the band is fully immersed in the musical collaboration with dedicated musicianship. You can feel the sense of pride each wants to bring to the performance. Completely effective and unforgettable. Finally, the infusion of life, re-branding, and even introduction to a big, brand-new audience, though brief, is invaluable to an aging artist whose career is waning. This is a thoughtful, classy act of kindness and generosity that certainly shows what's in the Foo Fighters hearts and minds.

[@kelleystory9211]

Taylor singing Jessie's girl! Perfect!

[@buckfiddy5931]

Before I watch this let it be known that I have great expectations.

[@fastguitars4380]

The only thing that is better then Rick's amazingly timeless song, is Dave Grohl's generosity. win + win.

Rock ain't dead while Dave Grohl's alive. The whole Sound City concept is the about the coolest idea to come down the pike in years. McCartney, Rick Neilsen, Stevie Nicks, Rick Springfield, Queens of the Stone Age....I mean, come on...this is just a whole messa fun, ain't it?

[@xennial80sxberner]

Back in like 1999 when FF was a newer band, it would've seemed like a massive difference between Dave Grohl and Rick who was popular in the early to mid 80s. It's weird how now there's like not much difference between 80s and 90s, they're both classic rock now lol. And since Rick looks really good and young for his age, it narrows the gap even more.
