Now if I am recalling this Rod Stewart concert at Jones Beach Theatre correctly, I had four seats in the mezzanine (any seat in the mezzanine at Jones Beach is to be avoided; bad views and usually worse sound depending on how the wind is blowing that night) and our friends had bailed because of the rain. My wife and I then took our daughter and son (they weee young and did not have much choice) and Stewart played a mix of the Great American Songbook project and his many rock and roll classics. I just saw that Rod Stewart is going to play Mohegan Sun in the fall which makes sense as his recent tours have entertaining but a bit too Vegasy for my liking. The first Rod Stewart songs I remember as a kid in the 1970’s were “Stay With Me” and “ Maggie May”; two all time great rock and roll songs. Rod has managed to navigate through the pitfalls of show business over decades and maintain an incredible legacy; he is a truly a one of a kind musical icon.
