Rick Springfield performing live at Barnes & Noble bookstore at The Grove L.A. shopping center in Los Angeles California on Friday May 9th, 2014. Rick was promoting and signing his new book "Magnificent Vibration". He performed four songs, including -- of course -- "Jessie's Girl". These shots were taken using a Nikon TC-20E (2X) AF-I teleconverter along with my usual Nikon D610 body and Nikon 70-200mm AF-S VR-NIKKOR f/2.8G lens... I was pretty far back, since the room was really packed.
