concert-info: once again Mr. Minimax got a free ticket for work and had to walk over to
a concert. This time it's old old Roddie.
When you go over to a Rod Stewart-concert you know what to expect: some new (this time as he
made a new record a few weeks ago) and a lot of old, familar stuff, one instrumental song
for giving him the possibility to dress up new, some footballs for the audience and some guys
who have all the luck. I hope I'm right because I put down these lines in advantage.
Oh, forgot to mention: expected a Las vegas-show.
And what did we all get? A Las Vegas-show. But a nice one.

One or two things about this concert here:
Rod Stewart changed his complete band just right before this gig, so my beautiful artwork does not
fit anymore with the band-members who appeared here at Dortmund.
I did not have the time anymore to make there any corrections. So sorry, folks!!!
And - I have no idea - if he does have the shoe-problem each and every night during Maggie Mae, so
if it's part of the show or if this was a humorous part on this special evening only.
Anyway, he changed his shoes before that song, couldn't walk with the left one,
had to change it during singing the verses and needed help
by changing to new shoes and "binding the Schn�rsenkel" together by a women. Hmm..that old man!!

Then Roddie got pissed on. In between the "Football kicking in the audience"-section during Hotlegs
someone kicked a ball back on stage to the disbelieve of Mr. Stewart. He told the band immediately to
stop the song, asked the audience what that was and continued with the next few and last songs
without talking to us anymore, without saying goodnight and without an encore. For me that
was a big luck, so I did not get another "Sailing" anymore. Puh!!!
But, what a blasted guy he can be: when there's just one guy in the audience who kicks a ball
back to his disbelieve he's so pissed on that he's no more into a concert. That scratches his ego
so much that he cannot "unterscheid" whether it was only one person or thousand other people in the
whole Westfalenhalle. Very poor, very poor!!

Including my usual fantastic and Roddie-stylish Cover-and-Label-Artwork!
