Rod Stewart performs in London’ s Hyde Park
(September 13, 2015)
One year ago, Jeff Lynne’s ELO were the headliners at BBC Radio 2’s annual ‘Festival in a Day’ in London (a great DVD of the concert has just been released).
On Sunday evening (9/13) in Hyde Park, it was another British music icon, Rod Stewart, doing the duty among this year’s lineup of wall-to-wall performers.
The 70-year-old rocker/crooner was playing his second UK gig in eight days, following the September 5th reunion concert in Surrey with his former band, Faces.

Strutting before a crowd of 55,000, Stewart played only some of the expected traditional pleasers from his large solo catalog.
Disappointingly absent in his time-restricted concert finale were the huge #1 hit (both the US & UK) Maggie Mae, You Wear It Well and The First Cut Is The Deepest.
Instead, scattered among a portion of the more well-known hits, he chose to perform several Faces-days rarities, plus a couple of tracks from his forthcoming album, Another Country, one of which is called Love Is.
