Rick Springfield - Love Is Alright Tonight (1982)

[@vcantr000]

It's nice to see an actual performance that the producers didn't try to force him to do as a lip sync.

[@stacey021375]

I just saw him in concert last week and believe it or not, he has gotten better with age. Seriously hot.....

[@teresaharmantee7695]

2019 and he still makes my heart flutter and I get butterflies in my stomach!!!!!

[@Ilkaitze]

Same! 2022!!

[@Megan-1014]

2023 and I feel the same 😍

[@seventiesgirl6449]

Used to listen to the Working Class Dog LP and found myself coming back to this song over and over.

[@cynthiasmith4130]

He is so hot!!! 🔥🔥🔥.. I am still listening in 2023!!!! Nothing has changed, he looks the same, sounds great!!!!!! The 80's were there best time in my life!!!! The music was the best ever!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️.. 🎶🎶🎶....

I've always had respect for Rick Springfield. He always wanted to make it as a musician and finally did. Yeah, he was a soap opera star, but what would YOU have done in his shoes...before the interwebs, social media, etc.? Dude has always been a rocker and can deliver the goods. I recently saw a show with him and Pat Benatar. Pat just positively killed it, as I expected...BUT what I didn't expect was a 67 year old Springfield to be moving, performing and singing like he was 30 again. He did. Great show. If you hate this, you're just jealous you're not aging as gracefully as he is.

[@kirklyles1705]

Rick Springfield was a musician and star in Australia long before he ever came to the states and became an actor. Look it up

“It’s always fun to get away from camp, even for an hour.”

[@jdubyabreh]

One of the best parts of that movie lol.

[@maryveronica1765]

I love this song. Brings back memorize of my friend who passed, we used to replay RS video's over and over again. I just think he's amazing. Thanks for posting ❤❤❤❤

[@distantcyclist]

Now that's what I call a rock solid performance! Rick puts a lot of emotion and energy into his music and that's what makes it truly special and original. Thank you for sharing this rare gem.

[@kimberlyyaeger6491]

I just couldn't believe how nervous he was on stage with his band! Rick Springfield was singing so fast with his song! He was a new singer for the TV show!🎤🎸🙏🎚💝💯👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@Greg07623]

Will always remember the first time I heard this - at Studio 54 in 1982 with this girl I used to hang out with. The whole place went completely crazy....I don't remember any song getting a bigger crowd reaction that this, (and I spent way too much time there).

[@matthardyrocks1011]

God love this video shows alot of Jack White his drummer ...who I loved!!!!!

[@kellyr5754]

Ok, I think my Ipad just went up in flames, OMG! Could he be any hotter :). Love this video, thanks for sharing!

[@candyhelms6192]

Amen!!

[@cornellwaters7018]

Way to go Rick and that band is actually a tight and in the pocket.

[@TGP112567]

Rick. What an entertainer! So glad you're still with us. I know your struggles and am thankful you're here! 1983 Red Rocks! I'll never forget! You're loved by millions! Oh, have to add, met you at Hard Rock, Denver. So, kind you signed an autograph for my ex-wife. So fuckin nice!

[@andhikaheru]

Good gutarist, clear voice, good looking, popular, nice song, what else can you expect more?

[@RobinLull]

...and even back then when so many were overdubbing and lip syncing, Rick nailed this with a LIVE performance. Hats off !

[@kyleelsbernd7566]

What an a$$ kicking cut. These guys are on fire here.

[@kimberlyyeager3582]

Rick Springfield is a fantastic singer and songwriter! He has done a great job with his music career! He is my biggest rock star singer! I am very Loyal and idolize him as a very talented singer! Rick is my inspiration and amazing singer! Rick is fantastic in his concerts with his fans and the kids on his stage! He is my rock and my guardian Angle! Love you Rick oxox!🎤🎸🙏🎚💝💯👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@seventiesization]

Yes indeed. This is a great old tune. Still love it after 32 years.

[@dawndeleon3765]

Wow, thanks for posting this. I remember this performance when it first aired on the American Music Awards. Sheena Easton was so cute when she introduced him. Very impressive live performance with the Fabulous Eels. But I have no idea why some people thought he was a bubble gum teen idol. Bubble gum by definition is a genre of music designed for and geared toward female children, from the ages of around 6 to, say, 14. Can you imagine Donny Osmond singing "gonna love her daddy, she'll be feeling it tonight" accompanied by a fist thrust? Bubble gum is not this overtly sexual. But this was one of my faves from working class dog.

[@kencooke8139]

Ricks drummer from the early 80s always looked like he was working overtime back there !

[@dawndeleon3765]

Jack White, yes,. always high energy and a lot of fun to watch.

[@djroxanne4429]

I had red parachute pants, love his purple ones..

[@MissNovemberTuesday]

63 now and still hot as all HELL!!

[@wayneboone7440]

Rick Springfield has a great Career

[@donaldmesser1126]

the one thing that I really liked about Rick was that unlike most artist back in the day he would not perform if they ask him to lipsynk his songs very rarely did you ever see him do that unless he was sick and that was not often

[@goblinb]

The 80's, especially the early 80's were very colorful. Since the 90's till about now, we haven't seen much color(that 90's grunge thing). Thank goodness it's coming back.

[@dobbyafreeelf3007]

Rick's #1 fan back in 1982, that would've been me, lol. I even married an Australian... I think it was a subconscious impulse, haha. Rick was so gorgeous. This is one of my favorites of his songs. Thanks for posting!

[@pinkmeow9176]

😎💘Rick springfield💖beautiful eyes cool😎

[@gremmiehodad]

One of my favorites of his!

[@ismael12068]

reminds me of my high school days which is the best years of my life! rick, you are the best!

[@Lbgrocksyou1]

So excited going to see him in December in DC!!

[@sandramoncivais2545]

Simply amazing and talented artist 😍🥰

[@maryannwashington9910]

Love is Alright tonight!!! Memphis loves you!!

[@Thejanjan39]

Wow, he was good-looking. I remember playing "Jessie's Girl" incessantly when it came out when I was a kid...vaguely remember this one.

[@nadaworldrecords]

I've always liked Rick, but never heard this song until I saw Wet Hot American Summer.

[@djroxanne4429]

+Michael Chance I forgot about this song until right now, and im watching the same flick!! lol.. on IFC ..

[@docsavage8640]

I just looked it up to hear it again after watching WHAS. Hilarious movie. What's the song they play when the robot nerd does his weird talent show bit?

[@myheartisinjapan3184]

Agreed!!! Excellent comment...ur so right...at this time...he was right in fashion...OMG...and look at those face and into those eyes....WHAT purple vest???

[@kassyhanson8845]

I just saw him in concert last night, I was in the front row, and Id have to agree lol. He was sexy then, and is a very attractive 65 year old man now :)

[@tamdam]

Wow, their playing is tight as hell

[@alisonosullivan613]

bad as fank eow

[@alisonosullivan613]

[@crimson911]

@@alisonosullivan613 nah I feel like it was you who snorted...the whole ass bag of cocaine before commenting this stuff 💀

[@video198712]

I love this song. Love the outfit Rick. Love the purple, you took a page from Donny Osmond.

[@twikirobot6897]

This song kicks ass.

[@minoritymex72]

It's always fun to go into town-even for an hour!

[@dizpin]

awsome..what can I say!

[@zorazen2]

Minute by Minute. Amazing.

[@bryancee5150]

He really delivers a good pop/rock tune. Also, thought he did a great job on HBO's Californication.(or maybe that was Showtime?)

[@ВладимирКочергин-у8ц]

Its Showtime,man)

[@sterlingpkjm6487]

he’s so handsome :’)

[@kimberlyyeager3582]

Can someone please let me know what year this was when Rick Springfield was on Solid Gold? I loved that so much! I think that she was in the 80's? Rick Springfield back then looked so young and he was nervous on stage back then too! He did NOT LOOK NO 73 YEARS OLD! He is 71 now and it is 2020. Not bad looking either!

[@tomshotton5245]

KILLER!!!

[@weatherednboston]

I love him!

[@susanszabo2207]

great one

[@Drowne69]

Beg to differ....Rick's band now is awesome, but Tim Pierce (guitar) is huge and has played with everyone, including the solo on Runaway by Bon Jovi. Brett Tuggle (keys) played with David Lee Roth after he left RS and Jack White played with RS up until about 10 years ago. What makes him sound so good now, is UBER-producer, Matty Spindell. The man is amazing behind the mixing board!

[@luckygirl2b]

i was sooooo in love with him!!!

[@greitje50]

Love the songs and styles of the '80s!

[@moses1004]

great~~~

[@seanzy4]

Holy crap! He does look just like my dad back in the day! If you put a picture of my dad next to Rick Springfield and compare you would think it were just a copy. Seriously. My dad used to do lip sync to Rick Springfield music, back in the 80s 90s. and won a contest when he sang for to mom.

[@pafar]

+Sean Schlater Do you have a photo of your dad back in the day that you can share?

[@djroxanne4429]

+Sean Schlater then your Dad was wicked hot!!

[@ariesleorising]

Sean Schlater I think I now have a crush on your dad.

[@spedc]

My God....I remember this song when it was big on the radio!! Man I'm getting old! Yes, I said R A D I O, not streaming or on my phone!!!

[@dizpin]

still awsome!

[@myheartisinjapan3184]

Just watching this, I feel like a teenager again...oh, he was soooo hot...still love him...

[@kt1pl2]

My teenage crush!

[@rooseveltmccarter6087]

Was it taken from "Working Class Dog" by Rick Springfield in 1981?

[@richalderson6069]

At 2:08 he flirts with the camera perfectly for the middle eight!

[@carolesoriano7389]

I'm the girl that threw my pink and purple converse on stage.. concord, California... Still listening 🎉

[@wolverin554213853]

Rick so young :) ♥ he is still HOT !!!!!!! love ya ♥

[@archiebunkerr9723]

Came here to look for Tim Pierce and was not disappointed

[@ChrisMayek]

nobody ever looks good with purple and green mixed together.. but Rick does lol

[@mrbobevans]

His backup band in this video pales in comparison to the lineup of Carter (drums), Hilland (keyboards), Bissonette (bass), and Bernhardt (lead guitar).

[@daneswanson]

Julie Skogrand, where are you 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@victorwagner7203]

Californication ❤

[@SydnRain]

That was some seriously HOT fashion in 1982. If you didn't live in it, don't make a lame statement\judgement about it.

[@pafar]

I guess not everybody got the "wear purple and green" memo. ;-)

[@susanszabo2207]

HOT!!!

[@2buffmaster]

Tim Pierce is the lead guitar player here. a session guitar player who has played on so many hit records you would not believe.

[@j2martnz348]

Played all the guitars on Runaway

[@rosrychaplet]

Very young!!!

[@candibowman3111]

What event was this? American Music Awards? Had to be some kind of awards show.

[@wino14]

It was the AMA's. I remember watching it

[@Cinema9Podcast]

Who else came here strictly because of Wet Hot American Summer? So good!

[@Paul_Colton_]

The drummer has giant toms but a teensy bass drum! Haha the things drummers notice, I guess...

[@IFHorus]

Rumor has it his cowbell is HUGE.

[@D7J7W7]

The start sounds like the start of the theme song from the tv show "Friends". Did they steal it from Rick?

[@blueberry72]

@Richard Lewis Springthorpe of course, all one has to do is click on another's photo to find out basic information, which you oddly don't have on yours...

[@starsapphirelee5714]

@Richard Lewis Springthorpe to who? Where? About what?

[@thetruth981]

Guy couldn't sing for shit but still made the big time. Fascinating what a recording studio and looks can do.

[@jgweems]

Wait! Where is the lip synching? Where are all the backup dancers? Why are they playing instruments? You call this music? (sarcasm)

[@docsavage8640]

Beat me to the punch. Time was even teenagers at least wanted actual musicians and singers instead of pinups cast to play the part.

[@EngineersQuest]

👍

[@PopShop2012]

Wrong key

[@dfpguitar]

Would be nice if the bassist was a hot girl.

[@wingapo3020]

Why is Rick dressed like an unmasked Green Goblin??

[@laurakibben4147]

@wingapo3020 Because 80's baybeeee!!! Bubble gum pop and neon!! And do what the producers tell you to.
