Rod Stewart is pure entertainer, and makes pretenders like Robbie Williams seem go colorless imitations. He hasn’t released a decent album in many years , he somehow manages to get by on point, carefully-chosen covers, and that voice. With a cracking band and a trio of sassy soulful, female backing singers, he had the crowd fully controlled for the entire show. There was no room for ‘Reason to Believe’ or ‘Have I Told You Lately’.
Still, we got ‘You Wear It Well’, ‘This Ole Heart of Mine’, ‘Twisting The Night Away’ and his take on Tom Waits’ ‘Downtown Train’, while the encores inevitably included ‘Maggie May’ and ‘Sailing’.
