Ringo Starr - Live at the Mohegan Sun - 13. Right Here Waiting (Richard Marx solo)

July 16th 2006.

"Right Here Waiting" is a ballad recorded by Richard Marx on his second album, Repeat Offender. "Right Here Waiting" hit number one on the Billboard Hot 100. It also made it to #2 in the UK.

"Right Here Waiting" was the second single from Repeat Offender, after "Satisfied". Marx wrote it on the road as a love letter to his wife, actress Cynthia Rhodes, who was in South Africa shooting for a film. In an era of power ballads, "Right Here Waiting" distinguished itself by its understatement; the track was arranged by Marx with Jeffery (C.J.) Vanston to feature none of the heavy drums and synth popular at the time, with Marx's vocal accompanied only by guitar (by Bruce Gaitsch) and keyboards (by Vanston). It is one of Marx's most frequently covered compositions.

@QueenBeatlesWings: There are solo spots in the All Starr Bands, where usually two of the band members (alternating every night) perform SOLO numbers WITHOUT Ringo

The song is rendered beautifully with some nice improvisations. The sound quality is awesome too and so does the obedient and gentle crowd.

From piano to acoustic guitar and sounding great! Only R.Marx is able to do that. It sounds magic......I love the violins and people's singing....
