Very impressive performance, clear evidence why he was named Best Guitar Player in Australia back in the day. People like to forget this guy was a musician way before he ever fell into acting as an aside. He actually toured Vietnam with his band, MPD, to play for the troops there in 1968. He is a great musician and a class act. Rock on, Mr. Springfield.
although if he slammed my 1972 Strat into the stage like that I would've been pissed....Rick? Slam me like that any day, baby--but not my guitar!!!!!!!!
I mean--I've never been married but I've played in wedding bands ad nauseum....plus, I love how he doesn't remember all the verses to the song---GOD, HE REALLY IS ONE OF US!!!!!!!!! I do this song at jams every now and then just BECAUSE and I fak up the words, too. LOVE YOU, RICK!!!!!!!!
Thank you so much for sharing this video! The man can rock, sing and entertain...whether it's his own song or a cover. That looks like it would've been great live!!!! And yes, youtube is a perfect way for those to see that he truly IS more than just Jessie's Girl.
Mind you, I'll always the Stevie Wonder version of this song best, but Rick sure does do it justice, too. He may be a white boy from Oz originally, but he's a soul brotha at heart!
RS not known for his guitar playing, but he is a great guitarist!

The clav riff sounds really good on guitar. It's a shame he didn't have a lead guitarist to play it while he was singing.
