Rod Stewart begins three-day mini-tour in Buenos Aires

Buenos Aires – a city in a state of Stewartian emergency. No sooner had the 80-year-old singer set foot in the Argentine capital during the week than the first fans appeared, seizing every opportunity to express their admiration for the Brit and snatch a souvenir photo with Sir Rod or an autograph.
The Maggie May singer strolled through the streets of the metropolis, home to over 15 million inhabitants, completely relaxed, fulfilling all requests for autographs or photos with great composure and always finding time for a quick chat with his fans.

Three shows in three days – Rod Stewart also really rocked Buenos Aires musically. The Moviestar Arena, where Stewart invited everyone to dance on all three evenings, was sold out to the last seat when Rod kicked off the concert trilogy on Wednesday.
15,000 fans, big and small, old and young, had come to experience a piece of music history that evening. And of course, Rod did not disappoint his fans, taking to the stage in high spirits and really getting the already passionate Argentinians going with his two 80s hits ‘Infatuation’ and ‘Tonight I'm Yours’.
The news portal La Nacion wrote of a ‘walk around the world’, referring to the singer's great hit potential after six decades in the music business. Indeed, Sir Rod played almost all of his big hits, as usual.
The audience particularly celebrated the song ‘Forever Young’, singing along enthusiastically with thousands of voices and reminiscing. This song has long since become the secret anthem of Stewart fans around the world, as Sir Rod, at the proud age of 80, still performs his famous hip swings, dance moves and microphone stand waving on stage – all just like in his heyday.
The British singer with Scottish roots, who is remarkably fit, demanded a lot from the audience, who were already well prepared for the party. Whether it was dance routines or requests to sing along, the spectators in the arena gave their all and went home at least as exhausted as Rod was when he left the stage and was chauffeured to the Hotel Faena, where he was staying for the duration of his visit. ‘We'll be here for about two hours. Have fun,’ Rod called out to the audience at the beginning of the evening, and yes, the visitors had fun, but really fun.

‘Baby Jane,’ ‘Young Turks’ and ‘Maggie May’ – it was the big hits that created an atmosphere in the arena that Buenos Aires hadn't seen in a long time. Of course, the sentimental songs such as ‘Have I Told You Lately’ and ‘I'd Rather Go Blind’ were not missing either, and every song from the Celtic fan's throat was absorbed until the very end. The visitors were on their own personal Stewart trip.

At the end of the almost two-hour show, Rod had come up with something very special and sent the visitors home happy with an instrumental version of ‘Don't Cry For Me Argentina’ from the musical ‘Evita’ and a picture of Eva Peron on the big screen.
This is not the only reason why Buenos Aires loves the British singer so much, and many of the visitors will certainly be back for the two further shows on Thursday and Friday, when the Stewart Express really picks up speed again.
