Bonus Track: It Takes Two

It's so different when you see an artist perform in front of you & ROD STEWART was truly a treat to watch in this DVD. For a man who's over 50 he sure didn't act like one and that's a compliment coz you will see how much fun he was having in this concert!

I wasn't really exposed to his songs, while I was growing up, for the main reason that I wasn't the "rock" type of person but with the old songs of his that he included in this DVD... This DVD surely rocks my collection of favorites !

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: MUST HAVE !!!
Review: If your a fan you must own Rod's FIRST EVER concert DVD !!!

It is well put together, the picture quality is very good. The sound is perfect. The multiangle option is pretty cool and the extra stuff is nice too !!! And for this price, it's a steal. BUY IT TODAY, for yourself, a friend, and a family member !!!

Summary: One of the Best Concert DVDs !!!
Review: Rod may be an icon in the Rock genre, but his first attempt at lounge music is an overwhelming bore. The voice that works so well for Maggie May shoes itself to be inadequate for these classic melodies. Everything sounds fine, but uninspired and unexciting.

Summary: No Rod Soul
Review: The rock hits on this DVD are not sung with the usual Rod gusto, instead he is still recovering from the throat surgery from a couple years previous. And the audience is a hand picked bunch of stiffs who add nothing. Rod sings the standards with respect but they don't sound much different from the CD. All in all, not a good performance, and definitely NOT like a real Rod concert. Skip this and go for the Storytellers AND the "Royal Albert Hall" DVDs--both are superior.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Special Listening and Great Viewing
Review: This concert contains many great pre-World War II hit as well as some of Rod's greatest hits. The gorgeous blonde sax player alone is worth watching the dvd. Rod always did like beautiful tall blonde women, and this one is a 10. Who is she? There is no information about her in the DVD.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A different kind of Rod and a good one at that.....
Review: This is a different Rod Stewart and I bought the dvd with some trepidation. I am a big fan of Rod Stewart and also a big fan of the old standards. I just wasn't sure these two worlds would mesh. Not to fear. Rod is no threat to Tony Bennett in this genre, but he does a great job on the excellent selection of old standards. And as a bonus, you get some old Rod like Maggie May, Young Turks and Hot Legs. This is definitely a buy.

Summary: What a Find!
Review: This is great. Always been a fan. The only problem with it is that it is not a box set. The quality and performance of these songs is so exceptional, that the first thing I did after listening to it was to scour the net to see if there is a second or third disk to the collection (there's not, as far as I've seen). The remade songs are good, but seem to run into each other. The old standards are some of the best performances I've seen and heard from Rod. Do yourself a favor and get it.
