A couple of weeks back, we finally got to see Rod.
Lethy has been wanting to see him forever – his shows sell out super fast and the resale market for his shows is insane!
Stevie Nicks opened and did a mix of her own stuff with quite a bit of Fleetwood Mac mixed in – Landslide, Gold Dust Woman, Go Your Own Way, White Winged bird, etc. Unable to find a set list.
She seemed genuinely excited to be there and really grateful for all the applause and sing-alongs. She also joined Rod for a few duets, which honestly didn’t sound so great, but it’s the best photo I have of her so…
Rod had exactly the sort of personality you’d expect. He spoke and it felt like he was talking to you, not you and thousands of other people. His voice was good and his set was nice.
The central floating video panel was jaw droppingly sharp.
Can’t find his set list either, which is weird. He sang 5 or 6 songs I knew, but he did some other stuff I had no clue what it was. He explained that he was trying to sing some of the songs from the first time he played MSG in the 60s as singer for Jeff Beck. It’s nice to get a unique performance, but honestly I’d have preferred more hits.
Still, all in all due almost completely to his charisma, an A+ show.
Up next for us, Chris Cornell acoustic!
