Buenos Aires Update – 23 October

Given the magnificent opening night at the Movistar Arena on Wednesday, it came as no surprise that Sir Rod's second performance yesterday, Thursday, was also a resounding success.
The audience once again included some familiar faces from the previous evening – quite a few Argentine fans had managed to secure tickets for all three shows in the Argentine capital in advance.
Sir Rod made a few minor changes to the set list, opening the evening with ‘Havin' A Party,’ which was in no way inferior to Wednesday's opener ‘Infatuation.’ During the course of the approximately two-hour show, Rod also presented the Simply Red classic ‘If You Don't Know Me By Now’, and ‘Have I Told You Lately’ slipped out of the ‘starting eleven’, which was filled with the blues hit ‘Rollin' & Tumblin'’.
This did not dampen the mood in the arena, as the 15,000 fans in the once again packed arena celebrated merrily as if there were no tomorrow and no third concert on Friday.
During the short refreshment breaks, the band skilfully filled the set list with songs, replacing ‘I'm Every Woman’, which the singers had performed on Wednesday, with the Pointer Sisters' big hit ‘I'm So Excited’.
Today, Friday, Sir Rod ends his tour of Central and South America with his third performance in Buenos Aires in three days and slowly but surely sets course for Europe, where the next concerts are scheduled for the end of November.
