Rod Stewart One Night Only full concert Live at Royal Albert Hall 2004
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aVnfZMTUB7Q[/youtube]
Rod Stewart's various incarnations-Rod the Mod, Rod the Rocker, Rod the Crooner, and so on-are on display on Live at Royal Albert Hall.
In what amounts to a 90-minute sing along with his adoring fans, the raw-voiced singer reprises selections from throughout his long and fruitful career, from his early '70s solo albums, including the best of the lot, 1971's Every Picture Tells a Story, through his surprisingly skillful new millennium emergence as an interpreter of the Great American Songbook.
Despite his having released three CDs of standards by the time of this good-looking, great-sounding concert, only five of the 17 tunes come from them, including a version of "As Time Goes By" with Chrissie Hynde of the Pretenders.
Much more emphasis is put on early Stewart material like "You Wear It Well", "Reason to Believe", and "Maggie May" songs that were and are beautifully limned by acoustic guitars, violin, and mandolin.
Good buddy, former band-mate, and current Rolling Stone Ron Wood plays guitar on a couple of numbers, and while Stewart does insist on giving "Hot Legs" a spin, at the age of 59 he at least has the good sense to keep "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy" under wraps.
