Rick Springfield & Richard Marx - Count Basie Theatre 1/18/2024
The tour is just the two of them, with no band. They share the stage together for the majority of the show, with the exception of each of them doing a two song solo spot.
For the majority of the concert, they accompanied each other, usually doing harmony vocals. They did each share lead vocals on a pair of songs later in the show, Rick Springfield's Love Somebody and Richard Marx's Don't Mean Nothing.
They usually did pretty lengthy introductions to the songs and had a great rapport with the audience.
The highlight for me was a mash up of Jessie's Girl with Stacy's Mom and 867-5309/Jenny that Rick Springfield did.
Both artists sounded great and gave a great sampling of their work.
