Sir Rod Stewart took the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, FL by storm for the second night in a row, thrilling the audience.
As on Friday, the singer performed hit after hit for around two hours, but made a few small changes to the set list compared to the previous day.
Instead of ‘Rollin' & Tumblin'’, the stomping blues song from the Blood Red Roses album, the 80s hit ‘Tonight I'm Yours’ slipped into the programme. Stewart also added the Faces smash hit ‘Stay With Me’ to the list, as well as the Simply Red classic ‘If You Don't Know Me By Now’. ‘Every Picture Tells A Story’ and ‘I Don't Want To Talk About It’ were therefore left on the bench this time.
These changes did not dampen the once again magnificent atmosphere among the audience. Especially during ‘Stay With Me’, but also during ‘Young Turks’, even the slightly older fans rocked out like they did in their teenage days. When things got cosy and Sir Rod whispered ‘I'd Rather Go Blind’ or ‘Have I Told You Lately’ into the microphone, the lights on mobile phones and a few lighters here and there came on.
As always, Stewart could rely on his musicians, who got the audience on their feet with ‘I'm So Excited’ and ‘Proud Mary’ when some in the arena thought they could take a breather during one of Stewart's costume changes. It turned into a two-hour party, at the end of which Sir Rod disappeared from the stage with ‘Love Train’.
Next Tuesday, the Stewart Express will stop in Tampa, but first Rod's focus is likely to be on Glasgow. Today at 1 p.m. (CET), the Glasgow football derby between Rangers and Celtic FC will take place at Ibrox Stadium. Due to the current league table situation in the Scottish Premiership, the game is of enormous importance for both sides. And superfan Rod Stewart will certainly be sitting down in front of the television early on Sunday morning in Florida to follow the action in faraway Glasgow. Up The Hoops!
