Rod Stewart wowed a packed crowd in Glasgow and though he has been touring rigourously recently nothing could taint the Scottish rocker’s performance.
They don’t call Rod Stewart ‘Hot Rod’ for nothing. At 65 and after a tight 37-gig schedule, Mr Stewart was well and truly rocking. Opening to a packed SECC in Glasgow, Rod got the party started with The O’Jay’s iconic Lovetrain.
The tune coincided harmoniously with his 70s inspired graphics, most notably when the screen was emblazoned with the image of a train.
Rod’s comfort and ease on stage was shown in the crowds reaction to him, the buzz of the crowds excitement contrasting with the feeling that they were all watching him perform in his living room.
The set was the epitome of the elegant New York glamour of yesteryear, recalling such greats as Frank, Bill and Dean. Polished white floors and a grand staircase led up to his iconic set of drums branded with the crest of his beloved Celtic.
A highly coiffed Rod apologised for the rough sound of his voice due to his challenging tour schedule of late but this was met by resounding cheers from an audience who did not seem to care at all, as his voice was as iconic and recognisable as ever.
