Rod Stewart is one my favorites. He hasn’t had a bad song. His music has been a part of my life since he recorded Maggie May in ‘71. I was just starting my family.
This performance was fucking cool and with Ronnie Wood it was a heartfelt reunion on stage. Both together had such a cool time that connects forever. Thanks for this great review and best regards @all from hamburg (germany).
Have you heard '' The Killing of Georgie ' part 3 ? It was unreleased and not totally finished but still very good !! It's on Rod Stewart from Warner Brothers vault box set, it's on UA-cam !!! Cheers !
"Every Picture Tells A Story" is by far Rod's best album ever!! Don't get me wrong, I loved a lot of his other work, especially his years with Faces. There is not one song on this album doesn't blow me away!!!
I've been able to see Rod in person more times than I can count. He, and his band, are amazing. One of a kind voice and a great entertainer who has such a connection with his fans. He really loves what he does and it comes across every time. The virtuoso guitarist with the long blond hair is Jeff Golub who played in Rod's band for many many years. He also played on his own in the jazz world. Jeff was a truly gifted guitarist who died a few years ago from one of those rare awful brain diseases. Such a loss.
Yes, that voice! I learned to like Rod Stewart in the 70's after my good friend invited me to concerts. Then, rock n roll had many versions. Live, they always had a acoustic portion of the show. Thanks, Harri. I would like to hear your take on 'Georgie Boy'. A kind of unique song, in the 70's.
Sweet. Another excellent choice Harri. I love the times when a smile breaks out on your face while the music is playing: the enthusiasm in your comments is coming.
This song inspired me to purchase a mandolin. I already played guitar so it wasn’t extremely difficult to learn! Absolutely in my top five favorites of his. He’s a legend!
I love love love this man’s voice! This was on the first Rod Stewart album I ever owned and I must have played it, start to finish, hundreds of times. Thanks for this request J. K. 🌺✌️
From the first note I thought of plaid. Lol Such a great tune, blending rock and folk. Mostly beautiful acoustic instruments, plus the addition of the mandolin just make for a great blend of the instruments. Add Rod's unmistakable vocals and the revved up ending for perfection. Great reaction. Thanks Harri and JKClark😉. Wonderful memory from the past. 😊👍✌️🇨🇦 Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
I wonder if singers like Rod Stewart would have had recording careers if there was no Bob Dylan. Bob kind of broke the ice for singers who didn't have polished voices like Frank Sinatra, or 5 octaves like John Gary. Rod Stewart's album 'Every Picture Tells a Story' is fantastic. There's a dozen or so albums that can be listened through in entirety without a song you want to skip... not a dog on it. The Beatles 'Abbey Road' Jethro Tull 'Aqualung' Pink Floyd 'Welcome to the Machine' Santana 'Santana' Rolling Stones 'Sticky Fingers' Stevie Ray Vaughan 'Texas Flood' Bob Dylan 'Slow Train' Elvis Costello 'My Aim is True' Dave Brubeck Quartet 'Impressions of Eurasia' Robert Gordon 'Too Fast to Live, Too Young to Die' Traveling Wilburys, both albums Tom Waits 'Rain Dogs' And good old Rod Stewart's masterpiece 'Every Picture Tells a Story'. Some honorable mentions would be... Tom Petty 'Full Moon Fever' U2 ( their first album I think, I didn't get into them until a few years ago) James Harmon Band 'Those Dangerous Gentlemen' Yoko Ono 'Live near the dumpster in the alley behind King Tut's Wawa Hut' For sure you will agree with some of my choices. Some you might have never even heard of. Please add to the list. Rock on!
Rod Stewart is a British rock & pop singer, songwriter with a distinctive raspy singing voice. His music career started in the 60's. Rod Stewart was in quite a few groups before going solo. He was in the Dimensions, the Jeff Beck Group & "Small Faces"/"Faces". He had a lot of great hits such as "Reason To Believe", "Forever Young", "The First Cut Is The Deepest", "You Wear It Well", "Sailing", "Tonight's The Night", "You're In My Heart, "Rhythm of My Heart", "Hot Legs", "I Was Only Joking", "Some Guys Have All The Luck" & many more.
Excellent reaction commentary Harri! Rod's voice indeed was spot on as he and Ronnie Wood were joyous together. Not to mention the bass and the mandolin accompaniment.
Love this song, and love this version. Hated the attention seeking "look at me" idiots in the audience who can't allow such masterful musicians to have even one moment of dramatic silence in a song without interjecting their juvenile "Woo Hoo" zoo noises. Like throwing a splatter of paint on a great work of art. Such acoustic greatness must sadly be performed out of the range of the desultory masses. Also loved their song "Ooh La La", which I think is the only Faces song on which Ron Wood is the lead singer.
So many memories of the early seventies with Rod’s musical direction and influence…not forgetting his band mates, including the much lamented Ronnie Lane. I urge you to check out Slim Chance, the band fronted by Ronnie subsequent to his departure from The Faces
I just recently found your channel. Terrific content. I strongly recommend checking out Van Morrison’s Astral Weeks album. I’d roll with the song Astral Weeks or Madame George. It’s probably his most critically acclaimed album - a masterful hybrid of jazz and folk. The late great music critic Lester Bangs wrote a terrific review when it came out. Usually I prefer live versions, but in this case the original studio album is superior - both from a production perspective and the soaring beauty of Van’s youthful vocal improvisational skills.
I’m not a big fan of live performance sound quality. The layers you miss sometimes really stands out. This isn’t too bad, but for others the recorded version is the way to go.
Classic Rod Stewart, a gift from the U. K ❤
Every Picture Tells A Story is a masterpiece
Hope you will take the time to listen to the Studio version! It is so beautiful, it can bring tears to your eyes!
I was just about to type the same thing....!
My favourite!
Double dittos on the studio version it's a must!
74-year-old white men here Harri, and I sure do love your show. You're a great gentleman. May your path always rise up to greet you!
Rod had a lot of bigger hits, but this was always my favorite.
Me too!
My favorite cut from EPTS
I wore out multiple copies of Every Picture Tells a Story - in large part because of this song. Magnificent cut
When it comes to Rod Stewart a tingle is as good as nod or wink
... to a blind horse
I remember watching this thinking he was so old. Now I’m that old.
One of my favorites
When music was music huh Harri? You do realize that's Ron Woods, now with the Stones right?
Do yourself a favor and listen to the entire album. It’s a true masterpiece.
Ronnie is a master and a pleasure to watch........Rod too LOL :)
Bill Maher did an interview with him just a couple months ago on Real Time and he's still sharp and young at heart. Definitely a true music icon.
Beautiful ♥️
Never thought I’d ever see Rod Stewart playing a banjo!
He plays Guitar too !!
Rod Stewart is one my favorites. He hasn’t had a bad song. His music has been a part of my life since he recorded Maggie May in ‘71. I was just starting my family.
My favorite Rod Stewart song 🎵
A must do Rod Stewart song... "I Know I'm Losing You"
Fabulous choice. 😊👍✌️🇨🇦
Beautiful -
Thanks, Harri
One of my favorites by Rod!
Gets me every time. Great song!
More Rod Stewart Please!
Love Rod, Please go down this rabbit hole, he has so many great songs! Thanks for this one Harri!
I have been a fan for more than 50 years!! I love this!!!!!!!!!
This performance was fucking cool and with Ronnie Wood it was a heartfelt reunion on stage. Both together had such a cool time that connects forever. Thanks for this great review and best regards @all from hamburg (germany).
I’m still crushing this man at fifty. Man is legit. Best concert My favorite is the Killing of Georgie
Ditto 😉🇦🇺
Have you heard '' The Killing of Georgie ' part 3 ? It was unreleased and not totally finished but still very good !! It's on Rod Stewart from Warner Brothers vault box set, it's on UA-cam !!! Cheers !
A great folkie classic 👌 👍 👏 😀
"Every Picture Tells A Story" is by far Rod's best album ever!! Don't get me wrong, I loved a lot of his other work, especially his years with Faces. There is not one song on this album doesn't blow me away!!!
I grew up with this fantastic music.

Rod is truly Amazing live. I'm so proud and lucky to have seen him over 30 times !! My sister loved Jeff G. A true talent gone too soon.
RIP Jeff Golub.
I haven't even listened to all the clip yet. Just wanted to say that all you need to hear is Jeff Beck's
Truth album to realise Mr Stewart's quality.
My fav album always has been and will be Gasoline Alley.
Banjo, acoustic guitar, mandolin, steel guitar, drums and great vocal ! Love this song!
Listened to and enjoyed this song for 50 years. Never knew Rod played an instrument on it. Thank you!
I used to play songs on my stereo at night to put me asleep in bed. This was one of them.
You MUST listen to the studio version . . . it is perfection!!
Love Rod Stewart - you always know who is singing when you hear his voice !🥰 This is a favorite 🤩
Just beautiful 🤩. Thanks Hari. Love that Ronnie Wood. Instrumental is so nice.
I love this version of a great song!
One of my favorites. thanks harri from canada.
Yes, that voice!

I would like to hear your take on 'Georgie Boy'.
A kind of unique song, in the 70's.
Every Picture Tells A Story was my very first album still love it to this day a brilliant album ❤️
My favourite Rod Stewart song. Many are better known but this is brilliant.
Harri, great analysis as always, check out IN A BROKEN DREAM the artiste is Python Lee Jackson but has Rod on lead vocals.
Never seen this! Thank you very much
That entire unplugged concert is incredible. One of the best imo
Wonderful!
Dude! this thing is beautiful, I love it
I love this song! ❤️ And your reaction too! 🥰
Sweet. Another excellent choice Harri. I love the times when a smile breaks out on your face while the music is playing: the enthusiasm in your comments is coming.
Oh yes. That entire album is great. Sir Rodney's voice has actually gotten better over the years. Twisting the Night Away is a great old song
ya, I love the video to that a well, him and Martin Short cutting it up is awesome.
This entire concert is fantastic!
Loved this live version of this song. Probably 25 years ago or so, Rod’s voice is so strong here. Love all the stringed instrument work by the boys.
Great song choice! Wish I got the chance to see him in his prime. Thanks, as always, Harri.
This song inspired me to purchase a mandolin. I already played guitar so it wasn’t
extremely difficult to learn! Absolutely in my top five favorites of his. He’s a legend!
Great tune-- A prodigious picker, Ron Wood has been a Rolling Stone for quite a few years. Thanks, Harri!
I love love love this man’s voice! This was on the first Rod Stewart album I ever owned and I must have played it, start to finish, hundreds of times. Thanks for this request J. K. 🌺✌️
Rod has so many wonderful songs and they are all fantastic. He has been around a very long time.
Said it many times...he could sing a page from a phone book and make it sound good. His cover of So Far Away (Carol King) is a unique favorite
I agree 100 percent !!! I've always said he could do nursery rhymes and it would sound Awesome and sell millions !!! ,...Long live Rod !!!
From the first note I thought of plaid. Lol
Such a great tune, blending rock and folk. Mostly beautiful acoustic instruments, plus the addition of the mandolin just make for a great blend of the instruments. Add Rod's unmistakable

Ah my fave song by him. Yes, check out the studio version. Hell, check out the whole album! Great reaction!
One of my all time favorite artists. He was amazing in concert and so, so glad I got to see home live! Never tire of listening to his albums.

Singin' along here, Harri. Thank you! These Unplugged concerts were great! Great reaction indeed.
Great reaction, you should do "Only A Hobo" from "Gasoline Alley"...such a beautiful song.
Check out Rod Stewarts version of Street Fighting Man........ just brilliant.....🌹
Thanks!
Great voice! Another very distinctive voice is Michael McDonald
Excellent reaction commentary Harri! Rod's voice indeed was spot on as he and Ronnie Wood were joyous together. Not to mention the bass and the mandolin accompaniment.
Nice one Harri
The studio version is so good
Still have the original album, a big reason why I didn't do too well in my exams. Get the album Harri, you won't be disappointed.
You might want to hear him in a duet with Glass Tiger, “My Town”. You’ll discover a new band too.
Awesome! Try Jeff Beck & Rod People Get Ready…old Curtis Mayfield song, soulful cover 🎸🔥🇬🇧🇺🇸✌🏿😎
マンドリンウィンド大好きです。
ところで、ハリーさんは赤が好きなんですね⁉︎😊
Mandolin gives the stingung and stretching peal that makes up for it being solely a string instrument and never a percussion instrument.
Guitars , darn .
Hi harri cud you please do a Christmas moore song nancy Spain or cliffs of doneen would be my choice. Irish Mark
Love this song, and love this version. Hated the attention seeking "look at me" idiots in the audience who can't allow such masterful musicians to have even one moment of dramatic silence in a song without interjecting their juvenile "Woo Hoo" zoo noises.

Also loved their song "Ooh La La", which I think is the only Faces song on which Ron Wood is the lead singer.
Early Rod is best Rod. I couldn't get into his later, crooner style.
Banjo
So many memories of the early seventies with Rod’s musical direction and influence…not forgetting his band mates, including the much lamented Ronnie Lane. I urge you to check out Slim Chance, the band fronted by Ronnie subsequent to his departure from The Faces
You can take the newer Rod. I'll take classic Rod any day: Gasoline Alley, Every Picture Tells a Story, Never a Dull Moment ...
They left the most poignant verse out!
Rod 's fault , he forgets Lyrics all the time or changes them.he gets away with it cause he's Rod Stewart!!

back ground players ?
been drinkin'?
This is a little slow, play the original...it has a real mandolin playing.
