This entire show was lip-syncing at its finest LOL in the 70s😅
Me. On 18th July, 2024. Still enjoying listening this music.
I saw one of his shows in Las Vegas. The lyrics flashed in huge letters on a giant video screen behind him. I chuckled when the only words on-screen were "WRECK MY BED"

Here after hearing the story behind this song by School of Rock.
I love Rod today still since the 80s although i hate his politics
i dont have mental health issues, i am gassed eveyday , whislte blower, global cold war matter, including fleas recently, its situational, whistle blowers are miserable by nature, my whistleblower situation with most gravity in history, and i can descredit kaiser very easily, i have abided by the implied agreement on evidence, so the contnued flea gas thing, i see as bad faith
Lovely
Rod's finest!
Me elizabeth bennett im 85 yrs.young thanks to the super talents of that era.my friends are passing away didnt let this music in the veins..ill meet Rod one day but bet we cant sing Maggie in Heaven
Jesus Christ , I first listened to this song when J was Only 11 years old , on a small transistor radio . Now I am 66 years old and this Scotish barstad is still singing. Unbelievable Rod Stewart .
Other very big legend of the music
They don't even show the mandolin player close up coz it's really just a recording and guy seated is pretending to play. Ray Jackson played on recording and got paid a mere pittance.
saw him in Auckland, Western Springs, he was wearing these amazing red pants, I was so in love with him
Every time I time I hear this, I think of a particular bans hee that stole 20 years from me. She hurt me deeply and now I am free…😹
One of the grates that’s for sure
I remember watching this. I was 15, and my two older sisters loved it. They've both passed away now. I miss them so much, and when I watch this, I close my eyes and see their excitement when they first heard it.
All day everyday.
❤❤❤❤
