Let's start this review by mentioning that the weather in Nashville was on our side again. This was in stark contrast to a few days earlier, when the performance in Clarkston was accompanied by thunder, lightning and lots of rain.
Sir Rod hadn't quite gotten over what happened at the Pine Knob Music Theatre yet, so he sent a message via his social media channels the next day: ‘Sincere to all my fans who attended my show last night at Pine Knob. You were just fabulous even through the rain. I could'nt have asked for more. God may bless all of you and may you stay forever young. - Sir Rod Stewart'
But now on to Nashville, where, as already mentioned, everything was back to normal in terms of weather.
The Ascend Amphitheatre in Nashville has a total capacity of 6,800 people, including reserved seating and a lawn area. The venue has a 1½-acre lawn and offers its visitors a combination of seated and standing room.
And the place was packed. Right from the start of the evening, which was kicked off by Cheap Trick, who this time played through their twelve-song set, the audience was in high spirits.
But that was about to get even better when Sir Rod came on stage right on time, beaming with joy as he waved to the crowd and then rocked out with his usual opener, ‘Infatuation.’
The fans were immediately at operating temperature and moved in unison. Dancing to the rocking ‘Tonight I'm Yours’ or ‘Young Turks,’ singing along at the top of their lungs (and pretty much knowing all the lyrics) to the schmaltzy ‘Tonight's The Night’ or ‘Have I Told You Lately.’
Sir Rod signalled every minute, every second, how much fun he is currently having dancing across the stages of America and singing his songs. This mood spread to the audience – a perfect symbiosis for a successful concert evening.
Tonight, fans in St. Louis will be able to see for themselves when Rod celebrates his party at the Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre.
