Lots of Heart,

This review is from: One Night Only - Rod Stewart Live at Royal Albert Hall (DVD)
Others have described the details of the show so I won't bore you except to say that if you're a Rod fan, especially one like me who's loved his work for (groan) over 35 years, I'll just say that... THIS ONE'S GONNA FLOOR YA. Just a fabulous performance (and for once, consistently great camerawork and great editing.) But I do want to tell you about one song, one very special moment. As we know, late one night a thousand years ago Long John Baldry discovered Rod as he was singing in a lonely train station, and took him under his wing. Rod's returned the favour big time. Imagine if you will being a very young woman busking on the streets of Glasgow... and one week later descending a beautifully lit grand staircase to the stage of the Royal Albert Hall to sing "I Don't Wanna Talk About It" on live national TV with Rod Stewart. God, how this girl keeps it together is beyond me, but she does, she in fact KILLS. It's an exquisitely beautiful, deeply moving, very human moment. A great moment of artistic generosity on Rod's part, and a lump-in-the-throat moment for the viewer as Amy Belle experiences what must have been the peak moment of her life. It's unforgettable, and there wasn't a dry eye in this house I can promise you. Oh, and any Rod fan who's hesitant about this American Songbook stuff, not to worry, his performance of these old chestnuts is fabulous, as though they'd been written for him or by him. And the final number, "Sailing," is a knockout. I think this DVD simply backs up what I've always maintained, which is that Rod is the greatest solo act of our generation. Rod, if you're reading this, a million thanks for all the pleasure over five decades, all the unforgettable shows, from a little kid from the Boston Tea Party...

Best Rod Stewart DVD ever!!,
By
This review is from: One Night Only - Rod Stewart Live at Royal Albert Hall (DVD)
This is absolutely the best Rod Stewart DVD so far.The mix of his classic material and material from his "American Songbook" series is great; 12 classic Rod songs & 5 "American Songbook" songs.
The video is stunning and the audio is crystal clear. You have a choice of 2.0 stereo or 5.1 surround. Both are great. Special guests on this extravaganza are Ronnie Wood, Chrissie Hynde, and a Scottish busker named Amy Belle (a future star?).Rod's girlfriend also appears in a stunning role on one of the songs. Overall, a fantastic show with rousing audience participation to boot. I highly recommend this DVD.

A Wonderful Performance,
By Anthony Nasti "Tony" (Staten Island, New York United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: One Night Only - Rod Stewart Live at Royal Albert Hall (DVD)
Rod Stewart has been a consistently amazing live performer since the 1970s', but this concert at the Royal Albert Hall may be the single greatest performance of his career. Never have I seen such a consistently entertaining live dvd, with great sound and camera work to boot.
Featuring 17 breathtaking Rod classics, this dvd never fails to deliver. Whether he's wailing his way through to "Stay With Me", pouring his heart into "You're In My Heart", crooning out the timeless "American Songbook" tracks or showing his tender side on "I Don't Wanna Talk About It" (sung with a brand new singing talent discocvered by Rod, Amy Belle). The whole dvd is a highlight as a whole, but forced to pick one performance as the dvd's high point, I would have to go for "Hot Legs". Rod just rocks the hell out of this one, proving that even at 60 he still hasn't lost his youthful energy. My only wish is that he performed "Some Guys Have All The Luck" and "Addicted To Love" separately. They're great as a medley, but I feel they'd work even better on their own. Overall, a stunning live performance that only a performer like Rod can provide. My advice is to go out and buy this amazing dvd.
