Concert Stories #3: Richard Marx

Richard Marx

Wisconsin State Fair

August 9, 1994

Age 11

My sister was a huge Richard Marx fan and I can’t blame her.  I was so into the song “Right Here Waiting” as well, I could still sing that song today!  Dramatic arm movements, loud passionate singing, dancing in the car...okay okay I’ve gotten off base here. This concert was my sisters idea and I lucked out and got to go with and bring two of my friends Laura and Sam, along with my mom (yet oddly I don’t remember if my sister even made it?).  I’m almost certain that for the both of my friends, this was their first concert.  We had decent seats in front of the stage right on the track (main concerts at the Wisconsin State Fair are held on the Milwaukee Mile, a one mile racetrack).  Marx was great and it was the first concert I got to “party” with my girlfriends and I remember thinking I was just sooo cool and had such a great time!

Sooner or later I will have some photos to go with these stories.  I know they are somewhere out there and probably a real gem with my awesome 90s fashion sense.

UPDATED: Found those photos!
