For the first time since June 2010, superstar Rod Stewart was back on stage at the Arena in Nuremberg. The arena, located right next to the Max Morlock Stadium, was filled to capacity shortly
before 8 pm - sold out, according to the organisers. Even the last remaining tickets available at the box office are all gone. 10,000 fans are eagerly awaiting the start of the show.
And then the party through six decades of music history begins. To the first strains of the Robert Palmer song "Addicted To Love", Stewart and his band stomp onto the stage and really get going.
The fans are there from the very first note and turn the show into a great evening. Rod dances, jumps and runs across the stage like he did in his prime. During the show, which lasts around two
hours, you never notice that he is almost 80 years old.
He laughs, banters from the stage with the fans in the front row, waves to the stands at the side and simply spreads good humour from the first to the last song.
The audience thanks Rod, who provides the usual great entertainment.
The set list contains everything that visitors want to hear at a Rod Stewart concert: "You Wear It Well", the Faces song "Ooh La La", "Sailing" or "I Don't Want To Talk About It" - Rod hardly
misses a single favourite. However, he doesn't play any songs from the new album "Swing Fever" - as announced in advance. The fans don't mind, they simply continue to celebrate their Roderick
David even after the last note has faded away.
And the press also honoured the Brit's performance. The Nürnberger Nachrichten newspaper couldn't stop raving in its review of the concert. "Rod Stewart races across the stage as if arthritis or
sore muscles didn't even exist," writes the paper with a twinkle in its eye. And at the end, it comes to the overall conclusion of the evening: "A performance like a natural phenomenon".
