Rod at The Hard Rock Live Hollywood, Florida.

Finally after several weeks of anticipation and excitement It was February 15th and Rod Stewart was tonight. Oh yeah, Tonight’s the night was playing and singing in my head all day.

I believe I had drove some of friends crazy because all I was talking about was going to his concert. My girlfriend and I had 8 row seats in the middle section. Amazing seats!! Rod did not disappoint in any way. He sang all the favorites and with his witty and charming sense of humor he put on one hell of a show!! I loved the opening set with the roses 🌹 and then there he is Rod Stewart coming on stage. His incredible band, the sax player, the beautiful women were amazing. Those girls were so unbelievably talented and had such energy between them all. Rod in his “ silver suit” as he called it was fabulous.

One of my favorite parts was when all the balloons dropped down. You could see and feel the inner child of us all becoming playful and excited. It was so much fun in every way. The night ended with my heart being full and filled with anticipation of the next Rod Stewart concert. Wow!! Thank you Rod 🎶🎶

In the audience the previous night was Carmine Appice and his partner Leslie Gold who told SMILER..

We all enjoyed Rod’s show. It was an action packed production, he was in good voice and he’s such a pro on stage. He had the audience eating out of his hand. Carmine and I went backstage after for a quick hello. Everyone was very lovely to us. We didn’t take any photos backstage, but I do have a selfie of Carmine and Rod from this past December when they met for a drink in Palm Beach, Fl. .
