    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.

    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 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 ✨✨🌹✨✨👋👋👋

    Thank you Jim. Much as I love Rod (and I would have been tempted to smack him when he ruffled your hair - you are a truly great chum, just smiled and shook your head!) Your guitar solo was something else - then and now. We held a party in the barn next to our cottage in about 1980. The floor was covered in straw and difficult to believe back then, we banned smoking in the barn. As a dancer, I make a good truck driver (I was going back and forth to the Middle East at the time) but even though I was married to Lynda, a girl called Heather grabbed me and we smooched our way through 'I was only joking'. Afterwards she whispered 'That was special.'
    It was. Thank you for bringing back a wonderful memory.

    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"🎶💚
