Sex Pistols Philadelphia reviews
Odd Coupling
The Rod Stewart and Stevie Nicks "Heart and Soul Tour" is no exception, like politics, entertainment can make for strange bedfellows. When Sprint Center offered tickets in a two for one deal, I decided to check it out and scored excellent seats (FL3 row 12), at least in terms of distance from the stage. That doesn't mean they were perfect thanks to the very tall man sitting in front of us.
Ms Nicks opened the show with a full band including legendary session guitarist Waddy Wachtel on lead guitar. The sound was good except the bottom end was cranked up too much and was distracting more than enhancing. Stevie was in good form and as her set progressed she warmed up to the warm reception from the audience, many of whom came only to see her.
I enjoyed her live more than I expected and the musicianship was top notch. It was a nice touch that the arrangements for some of her classic hits like "Rhiannon" were very different than the hit versions that are so familiar. It was also good that she included some new material from her forthcoming album and a few lesser known gems from her repertoire. To top it off, she gave the crowd an encore, which is rare for an opening act. Bravo Ms. Nicks.
Rod Stewart was almost a total contrast to Stevie Nicks in terms of style. While Nicks used moody backgrounds and lighting, Rod's show is like a Vegas revue full of lights, flashy outfits, and more than a little schlock. Rod knows that his core audience is women of a certain age, although I noted a lot of younger women were there and seemed to enjoy his antics.
Rod's voice was good, not great, but heck, the man has been through a lot. He wisely sticks to his his and kept things from getting dull, by changing it up with the many varieties of musical styles he's embraced over the years. While most of the songs he performed were his own hits, he did a few Motown classics that worked very well with this band in tow.
Rod's band were also first rate, mostly unknowns, but very competent and at times even inspired. He has two drummers and a nearly all female brass section who were uniformed in red cocktail dresses which, as a male of a certain age, I enjoyed immensely. While Nicks used moody backgrounds and lighting, Rod's show is like a Vegas revue full of lights, flashy outfits, and more than a little schlock.
Stevie Nicks joined Rod onstage for two duets, Stewart's "Passion" which seemed by the numbers and a more spirited take on Nick's "Leather & Lace." She seemed bemused with Stewart and the glitzy style of his set. Clearly not her style. I appreciated that Rod took time out to mention the composers on several of his songs. It was also a nice touch for him to give a dedication to NATO troops serving in harm's way throughout the world.
Overall she has an organic sound which varies widely in emotional degrees and reveals an unexpected depth. Given her often gravelly voice on her recordings, her voice was very good this night. He changed his suit a few times and at one point left the stage to rest and change while his back up singer trio performed a knockout take of the Ami Stewart disco version of "Knock on Wood" by Eddie Floyd. A lot of critics have chided Rod over the years for leaving his rootsy early works in favor of the slickly produced pop that has been his style since the late 70's, but Rod is from working class roots and a shining example of a self made man.
It was a nice touch that the arrangements for some of her classic hits like "Rhiannon" were very different than the hit versions that are so familiar. It was also good that she included some new material from her forthcoming album and a few lesser known gems from her repertoire. Long live Stewart and Nicks!
