Rod Stewart's various incarnations--Rod the Mod, Rod the Rocker, Rod the Crooner, and so on--are on display on Live at Royal Albert Hall. In what amounts to a 90-minute singalong with his adoring fans, the raw-voiced singer (now huskier than ever) reprises selections from throughout his long and fruitful career, from his early '70s solo albums, including the best of the lot, 1971's Every Picture Tells a Story, through his surprisingly skillful (and successful) new millennium emergence as an interpreter of the Great American Songbook. Despite his having released three CDs of standards by the time of this good-looking, great-sounding concert, only five of the 17 tunes come from them, including a version of "As Time Goes By" with Chrissie Hynde of the Pretenders (lush orchestration notwithstanding, there's no disguising the fact that both singers are more at home singing rock or pop than jazz, big band, or cabaret material). Much more emphasis is put on early Stewart material like "You Wear It Well", "Reason to Believe", and "Maggie May" songs that were and are beautifully limned by acoustic guitars, violin, and mandolin. Good buddy, former bandmate (in the Faces and the Jeff Beck Group), and current Rolling Stone Ron Wood plays guitar on a couple of numbers (including a raucous "Stay with Me"), and while Stewart does insist on giving "Hot Legs" a spin, at the age of 59 he at least has the good sense to keep "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy" under wraps. A brief tour documentary is the principal DVD bonus feature. --Sam Graham

I think the relaxed Rod Stewart seen in this performance delivers one of the best concerts he has done in years. The variety of songs makes it collectable and the guest artistes contributed rather than intruded.
Even Ronnie Wood's slightly out of tune guitar cut a groove like the old days, and he just got the bottleneck out of his pocket in time to play his slide solo. Great fun, great songs and a value for money DVD. Lots of gems in the individual musician performances as well.

I grew up listening to Rod - copied his haircut and his taste in beatufil blondes.
Rod the mod is the voice of a generation.
I saw him live many times - and the highlight was sitting in the VIP area with his family, his mentor Rob Dicken and my ex-wife.
I own every album and every one is a classic.
Classy pop

Classic and classy performance by ROD THE MOD - the best haircut and best voice in the history of rock`n`roll.
His songs put you in the mood for romance, partying and having a good old drink.
Rod is a man for all seasons and his songs fit every occassion.

Just one word to say: FANTASTIC!!!!! I have seen the show on TV a week ago and I just felt I must see it again and again. I liked Rod's songs and knew most of them but I was not a real fan - till now. This DVD is worth every penny and I am sure I will se it again and again. I enjoyed every second. A perfect proformance!!!!
