We have just come out of the Rod Stewart concert in Adelaide, and i have only 1 thing to say about that....
It was bloody brilliant!!!!
make no mistake, this was a really really good show. None of that soppy American Songbook stuff, just full-on rock and roll, high energy, high volume, 100% effort and entertainment
I know my children will be sniggering behind their hands as they read this, but let's be honest, you have to stand up and applaud talent and showmanship when you see it, and following right on the heels of an abysmal Australian support act, you can just tell that this was the real deal.
He was scheduled to come on at 9pm. He came on at 10 to 9 and belted it out for 2 solid hours, one hit after another. Fabulous. Included three costume changes and a cast of 17 support stars. Perhaps the highlight of the night was Forever Young, which included the usual showcases of the other talent on stage while he took a wee break and changed costume. While he was off-stage the drummer amped up into a full-blown drum solo, There's just something about a drum being played properly, it's just so primitive and pure.
You have to keep in mind that RS is 70 and he's been doing this for at least 55 years, so toward the end of the two hours when is voice started to give out , we forgave him.
I for one, and Judy for certain, really enjoyed it and if we never see a show again, then we'll be happy with this
One interesting thing about the night: no compere, no pleas for phones top be turned of and no restriction on cameras. Just as well Judy had hers with her
