THRILLED BUT THEN SADDENED

I absolutely love Sir Rod. For a man of 79 he does give a good show. We were told to expect a 2-3 hour show. Rod had no opening act. A third of the show was performed by his band and backup singers while Sir Rod rested or changed clothes. It’s okay, he is older and needs breaks understandable. What saddened me and most of the audience is that we thought the band was taking an intermission. The whole show only last 1.5 hours. Couldn’t believe Rod and the band just left the stage. No Goodnight or Thank you to the audience. Everyone was clapping and cheering but Rod never returned for an encore. I was a little disappointed as these were very expensive tickets and the only Christmas present I asked for this year. I love you Sir Rod but you broke my heart.

ROD AT THE ACC

Rubbish, he's loosing it. Seen many rod concerts even when in the faces. This was probably the worst. Too much emphasis on individual band members and back up singers. Not the usual energy from rod. Too old now. Give it up rod.

NO ENCORE? TAKES A SEAT HALF WAY THROUGH CONCERT?

Give it up. I know he's 74, but he didn't come out for an encore, was surrounded by capable, mostly younger musicians who were forced to sit on stools half way through the concert because Sir Rod had to take a break (not including his frequent off stage breaks). It is time to retire. Wouldn't come out for an encore despite loud, adoring crowd.

ROD STEWART

Rod look tired, unprepared and anxious to get the show finished. I was so looking forward to show and left disappointed - everyone was waiting for a huge encore which didn’t happen. Bad opening night.

FOREVER YOUNG? NOT SO MUCH.

The show last night was a complete disappointment. I have seen Rod several times. Last time was in Vegas and he was good. However, that was a few years and time has not been good to Rod. The show was basically a Vegas style production with very beautiful talented young ladies and men doing the work for old Rod. He mouths the words of the song and attempts to make some “Do you think I’m Sexy” moves but, he is well past his singing expectation date. Don’t take me wrong, we are all getting old but, some of us know when to retire gracefully. Stay home and save your money. This is not the Rod we once knew. Also, Cheep Trick was horrible. Talk about a bunch of old white men trying to be cool. This was not an entertaining evening.

ROD STEWART WAS EITHER SICK OR TOO OLD TO PERFORM!

My sister saw Rod Stewart last year and said it was the best concert she has ever seen. We went and paid a hefty price for good seats at Daily's Amphitheatre and between the 6 breaks he took off stage letting either the band or his 5 backup girls take the show, it was ridiculous. He didn't attempt ANY high notes on his popular songs and went with a lower version of the verses. He was not very active on stage and although he is 79, my husband at 80 could have done better. All I can think of is that he was very sick. I was fearful that he might pass out up there. Something was very wrong~
