Good for Rod. True OLD SCHOOL rock and roll move. It that would have been Simmons and KISS they would have demanded a couple hundred bucks to "upgrade" or tossed them back.
Hard to believe that he is 76 years old ! Loved it when he called his fans down to the front seats. "They're just some high rollers that didn't bother to show up. You're my fans ! "
Nuthin but love and respect for Rod Stewart. Seeing him do this for a fan is just a whole new level of FUCKING AWESOME. Guys like that are the artists that deserve the loyalty of their fans. He's still having a great time and making sure his people are gonna leave with a smile!!
Real Rod Stewart fans wouldn't be caught dead at one of these shows. I remember partying with Rod and the band in Montreal at Club Wanda strip joint after one of his concerts in the late 80s, and that version of Rod Stewart wouldn't have been caught anywhere near one of these shows either, whether watching or performing.
@@barcham Tickets up front at Vegas are $900. Tickets in the next section (where this lady was moved from) are $500. To be clear, Rod puts on a great show and nothing wrong with making $$$, but the notion that he is "doing it for his fans" is absurd. 99.9% of fans cannot afford to attend this show. Rod alludes to this himself when he says many front seats are empty because the high rollers bought the seats but did not even bother to show up... Congrats to those who saw Rod in the 1970s for 10 bucks.
Rod Stewart. Talent and sexiness is a prerequisite . What a spirit of “life of the party” he still maintains after all these decades. As doesJagger and the Stones! Pioneer of rock n roll entertainment!🤘🎼❤️
I grew up a fan of Ozzy and Motley Crue, friends thought I was crazy when I threw Rod in that mix. Always loved him and still do. No one cooler and more real.
For some reason this came up on my feed 12/6/2021. The first concert that I'd ever attended was Rod Stewart & The faces, Uriah Heep & Elvin Bishop on 8/20/1975. Over 46 years ago and I remember it like it was yesterday. Insane!!
Infactuation. Oh my, I totally forgot all about this tune. Watching Rod perform it today, it's gold. You gotta give these guys credit. This takes a ton of energy. And Rod is doing it with pure naturalism and professionalism. Keep er going Rod! Love it man.
That was a great performance from Rod and his whole band. Rod looks so fit and healthy for his age, he is always so natural on stage, a breath of fresh air!
@Howard, I think that you need to check Rod's history. He wasn't natural on stage; he's had to work at it. He used to hide behind the speakers to sing he was so afraid of coming on stage.
I didn’t know what to expect at the first MTV video awards,then Rod came out in his purple suit and opened the show up with Infatuation and then I knew I was in for one heck of a night.37 years ago.Seems like 37 minutes ago.time flys.

I was at a rod the God concert years ago and he said to the crowd, they dont like dancing but if we all stand up and do it, theres nothing they can do!!!! Legend!!!!
Say what you want...he was part of the soundtrack to my youth in the 70s. "Hot Legs," "Maggie Mae" and " Do You Think I'm Sexy" was ALWAYS playing somewhere...over the outdoor speakers at the lake, in the gameroom on the jukebox at the campground we visited every summer, or somewhere on Casey Kasem's Top 40 countdown, which I listened to every Sunday after church.
Whoever said 'British comedy is dead?' Here's Rod! He's a karaoke king, the master of a drunken fathers night out, such a star and he ALWAYS gets the fat one, covered in tattoos at the end of the night! That takes skill (and a few pints of Stella). He's a true gem!
I must share this amazing story. First saw Sir Stewart in Toronto in August 1990. Sat on 3rd row, 5th seat. My (future husband, Steven) was at the same concert, 8th row, 8th seat. Fast forward 28 years, Steven and I met online. When we met in person, Maggie May was playing on the radio. When we decided to have dinner, a couple of musicians came into the restaurant to play. They sang a few of Roddy's songs. When Steven drove home, Maggie May played in different stations. When we got married in 2019, we went to see Rod Stewart at Cesar's Palace in October 2019. Pretty awsome!!! Fast forward,
Wow, so many who have found fame and wealth became totally self-centered, and with such a mindset lost all empathy toward others. Cheers to Rod for caring about people and remembering that it is his fans who have provided him his station in life. Rod said, "these are my fans" and that said it all. Hats off to Rod!
I went to see Rod Stewart at The Syndrome in Chicago in about 1970 or 1971, and he ended up not showing because he'd come down with a bad cold. But the opening act, The Grease Band, that backed up Joe Cocker at Woodstock, played twice as long, and they were awesome. Never did get to see Rod live.
È un piacere seguire ROD STEWART, nei suoi bellissimi video, anche nella sua avanzata età, che può dare scuola, bravissimo , faccio anche un elogio alla sua Band musicale. Dall'italia cordiali saluti.
I was truly expecting more from Rod Stewart. This entire production comes off as a slick Vegas Tribute Band or something you would find on a cruise ship. It's cheesy. And maybe that's the reality of an extended "residency" in Vegas.
@@williamdillard4291 Ah, it has nothing to do with me "do better" rather it's time for him to call it a day. But as long as people are naive enough to keep showing up, he should continue to rake in the money. That show was pulling in around $5 million a month as far back as 2011. But it's cheesy and embarrassing in my opinion. He doesn't even really sing. Pathetic.
You know Arlo you are dead wrong about Rod Stewart and his show on this production. Have you ever sold millions of records and had the success this man has had in his career? I don’t think so!!! Your criticism is without merit and you would do well to crawl in hole and keep to yourself
@@shawnn5213 Oh Shawn, did I hurt your feelings? I'm sooooo sorry. Go make your self a Hot Pocket or maybe a grilled cheese, cut into squares, just the way you like it. You'll feel better. And I don't care about his success. I saw him when he was in his prime. Great show. But I think it's time for him to stay home and reminisce about the good old days because it's obvious those days are long gone. Hurry now. I hear your mommy calling.
And that isn't all he pleases the old folk to he sings the40s and 50s songs on cable that place is all ages so he doesn't let anybody down he tries to please everybody so he can sit sing old and new and really still Rock oh by the way I'm 87 years old night night LOL😍😍😍😍😍
Wow, this background singers are so beautiful. What a cool show. I was up in the air about seeing Rod Stewart in a few months at Caesar’s. We booked Aerosmith at MGM at almost three times the price of Rod Stewart tickets. Seeing this, I kind of wish we bought Rod Stewart tickets instead. I’ve just been a casual fan, not really paying much attention to his works besides what comes on the radio. But I’m a Kiss fan, and Paul Stanley absolutely loves Rod Stewart as a singer. He is Paul’s favorite singer. So, now I’m check out Rod’s music and it’s pretty fucking good with a harder rock sound than I expected. Fuck it. I’m buying those Rod Stewart tickets at Caesar’s.
I helped cook at his 40th Birthday celebration at George Bests club “ Blondes in Mayfair “ back in the early 80’s and was fortunate enough too meet him and too ask him too autograph a menu , he was a real gentleman and so Friendly , I am 15 years younger than him , but he still looks the same Rock on Rod 👍
At about 6:28 watch the guitarist right behind Rod. Has that look of "Fricken Rod is a douche again" look, then Rod turns around and and he immediately hits the smile button, Rods looking this way lol
Honeymooned in the islands (St. Lucia) back in 2003. Rod had a standards CD out (I think it was the American Songbook CDs.) He was literally blasting from every nook and cranny of the island. I believe he had toured there/near there...and it was like the excitement that surrounded him in the 70s/80s. Only a class act that cares about his fans as much as they do about him can survive this long in the business. I suspect he loves the fans even more. Kudos to him for that!
I could never tire of watching Rod or listening to his music! He is up there with the likes of Elvis, The Stones, etc. Full credit too, to his band, who are so tight together! The perfect group! Long live Rod. God bless, from one Celtic fan to another 🙏🏼⚽️
Please. The band sounds like something you'd hear on a cruise ship. Do a search for some of his old shows with the Faces if you want to hear his music done properly. This sounds more like one of those fund-raiser shows you see on PBS.
