    What a class act Mr. Stewart. Stays to the side of the stage to allow Mr. Cregan his time in the spotlight. And yes, one of the best solos ever.

    I just found out that Jim Cregan was the original guitarist when this song was first produced. How crazy is that? I'm looking at the two of you reunited on stage singing a song that you wrote n he was a member of in the original band, When this song was released. That was a wonderful surprise as I believe Jim Cregan is an awesome guitar player. Thank you for your contribution towards the song. Jim, God bless, 🙏🙏🙏❤ You play that guitar as if you're 20 years old 🌟✨🌟✨ Jim, definitely stole the show that night. What a performance ✨✨🌹✨✨👋👋👋

    Awesome, we definitely don’t hear singers like Rod & the genius of Jim’s playing anymore
    That is why to this day Rod’s still at the top
    That guitar was incredible & as important to the 70’s as Shine On You Crazy Diamond
    Just great

    I loved this song when it first came out but of course it hits differently now. The lyrics are bittersweet and Rod’s voice is amazing. But this version with Jim’s solo made it a top 3 favorite of all time.

    Ever since I was a kid at school
    I messed around with all the rules
    Apologised then realised
    I'm not different after all
    Me and the boys thought we had it sussed
    Valentinos all of us
    My dad said we looked ridiculous
    But boy, we broke some hearts
    In and out of jobs, running free
    Waging war with society
    Dumb blank faces stare back at me
    But nothing ever changed
    Promises made in the heat of the night
    Creeping home before it got too light
    I wasted all that precious time
    And blamed it on the wine
    I was only joking my dear (my dear)
    Looking for a way to hide my fear (my fear)
    What kind of fool was I? (Was I)
    I could never win (never win)
    Never found a compromise
    Collected lovers like butterflies
    Illusions of that grand first prize
    Are slowly wearing thin
    Susie, baby, you were good to me
    Giving love unselfishly
    But you took it all too seriously
    I guess it had to end
    I was only joking my dear (my dear)
    Looking for a way to hide my fear (my fear)
    What kind of fool was I? (Was I)
    I could never win (never win)
    Yeah baby, whoa
    Now you ask me if I'm sincere
    That's the question that I always fear
    Vers e seven is never clear
    But I'll tell you what you wanna hear
    I try to give you all you want
    But giving love is not my strongest point
    If that's the case it's pointless going on
    I'd rather be alone
    'Cause what I'm doing must be wrong
    Pouring my heart out in a song
    Owning up for prosperity
    For the whole damn world to see
    Quietly now while I turn a page
    Act one is over without costume change
    The principal would like to leave the stage
    The crowd don't understand

    One of my all-time favorite Rod Stewart songs The Great Jim Cregan the Somerset Segovia of rock and roll guitar, doing an outstanding job here, making that guitar tell the story! It is a bit odd though that the line, as folklore goes, was supposed to be "owning up for posterity for the whole damn world to see" a GREAT line, but when when Rod recorded it, he sang "owning up for PROSPERITY" cheapening the meaning altogether. Her he seems to combine the word into postperity"! Oh well, Sing it anyway you like Sir Rod, but please just sing it live in Hollywood, Fl on February 14, 2023 ..for Valentine's day. It will be my 53rd show and looks like my final one. Thanks 💚🎶 "For giving me, honestly, the best days of my life"🎶💚
