I have never been a great fan of Rod's but I think he sings old song in a 'nice' way. The songs he chooses are what I like - even before MY time - (and that's saying something!).

You didn't have to put up with the Crazy World of Arthur Brown - dressed as a phone box - afterwards, Carolyn


More that a pint of warm lager needed for that pile of crap!

I first saw him at Lewisham Odeon in about 1973(?) but am dead jealous that you got to share a warm pint of lager with him!

Carolyn

Plus, was at the IoW last year and Stereophonics did Handbags and Gladrags and dedicated it to Rod

Sue x

couldn't agree more Carolyn

Last saw Rod at Newcasle Arena - on his great American Songbook tour

As I said before, first saw him over a warm pint of lager in a plastic glass many, many years ago...

I've never seen Robbie live (only on TV) but have seen Rod loads of times over the years and his concerts are the BEST!!
Been looking at ticket prices, seems £70 is about the going rate and of course I've got to take someone with me, but I've got to be there, roll on May!!

Carolyn

Maybe see you there, Carolyn . Rod could be Robbie's spiritual father, don't you think?

Both class live acts, both nearly played pro football , both love the ol' black tie music, both went through their troubles etc

I just watched it and thought he was great, just wondering if I can persuade my kids to buy me tickets to see him at the O2 next summer!

Carolyn

It's on now and he is singing Maggy May : ))

It gets better and better..........lol

I do believe there was something of the Rizla going on Amanda......

Flat larger and a fag no doubt Sue ?.....in such company : ) x

'twas, Amanda - a pint of flat lager in a plastic glass. Just call me class

Sue xx

I'm impressed Sue : )) that must be a good memory for you to ponder on : )

Hi Amanda

In a broken dream was Rod with Python Lee Jackson - I know this 'cos they played at the Mayfair (N'cle) as a warm up band to Crazy World of Arthur Brown.....

If you got in before 10, you got in for free. Just call me a cheapskate, but I was there. Me, three or four other folks, and Rod - I shared a pint of lager with him that night

Sue xx

I never liked Rod much but am really enjoying this.Have been singing my head off lol

~~~ to Rose : )

I was bought up listening to The Faces , The Small Faces , Rod etc as my big brother was somewhat keen on his music . My brother also had the haircut , tartan scarf and big nose .......all long gone now of course but he kept the nose.....lol
I bet he still has all the original records in his massive record collection.

lol Sue, you will have to on that score ...I will allow that I have one of his records in my collection actually ;) Atlantic Crossing...for " I don't want to talk about it" ... he wasn't bad on that ;)... (but then that was over 30 years ago lol)

xx

I would Sue but I don't like to bother him , he loves his telly....lol

I'm glad your enjoying........I just hope Mr Stewert has given up them Leopard trousers these days............LOL

I bet he doesn't do " In a Broken Dream ".....that is one of my all time favorites : ))

I'll not hit you, Rose - I'll just give up on you!
