Ahhhhh, there was a time...………..

First saw Rod Stewart when he was with the Jeff Beck Group in the late '60's. Then with the Faces I saw him probably four times. Best Concert ever was: "A Party with the Faces" at the Hollywood Palladium. It was their last show of the tour and it was a party.

Unfortunately, He lost the edge, and became too much Neil Diamond or Barry Manilowish.

Last great song of Rod's (IMHO) was his cover of Tom Wait's Downtown Train in '89.

But From the glimpses I saw of the show you posted, it looked like he is still a good entertainer.

Tom Waits is my #1 singer/songwriter and his album, “Small Change” is an absolute masterpiece. The album also features a young actress (Casandra Peterson) on the cover who later went on to create the iconic character, “Elvira”

That said...

Tom Waits’ music video of “Downtown Train” (GREAT song) is extraordinary...in a Tom Waits kinda way.

That was some amazing work for sure.
