Last night we celebrated 33. And we crossed an item off Shelly’s bucket list. The item: Rod Stewart in concert. Rod the Mod performed tunes from his catalogue including his Dylan cover (in honor of Fred?) Forever Young. The band members played a wide variety of instruments beyond the usual guitars, bass, drums and keys. At times a banjo, sax, mandolin, two violins, even a harp. At times three backing vocalists.
Personally, since The Faces were among my early faves, Stay With Me was a highlight. I also enjoyed his cover of People Get Ready, an Impressions cover he originally recorded with The Jeff Beck Group; Rod dedicated it to the day’s student marchers; a very nice touch and warmly received by the audience.
I had attended a number of Faces concerts in the early 70s.
Happy to report a septuagenarian can deliver just as well.
But most special to share the moments with Shelly.
So many aprospos tunes:
*Tim Hardin’s Reason To Believe
*Van Morrison’s Have I Told You Lately
*Love Is
*Rhythm of My Heart and
*You Wear It Well.
And of course, You're in My Heart Which she is
