Rod Stewart: The Hits

I had a chance to see the Rod Stewart concert so I went hoping to hear my favorite song from him. I kept saying to my husband on our way there I hope he sings Some Guys Have All the Luck. When we got there the billboard said Some Guys Have All the Luck. My husband was like looks like you are going to hear your song. I was so happy because some artists forget about their earlier songs and want to concentrate on the new stuff. He also sang some of his other songs like he did a duet with his daughter to Forever Young. That was beautiful. He also sings the very fun song If You Think I’m Sexy.
I also saw my very first concert fight! I have seen like Pitbull, Maroon5, Miley Cyrus, Justin Timberlake in concert but no fighting there. I was surprised a fight would break out here. I guess this lady was not happy that these two ladies were dancing two rows ahead of her because she couldn’t see. She zoomed passed her husband and told these ladies to sit down. There was pushing and shoving then security was called.
Rod Stewart encourages dancing and being out of your seat during the concert so soon everyone was up on their feet! He even kicks soccer balls out into the audience. It’s a very fun atmosphere! It’s also a great show because he talks about his life a bit in between songs which I find interesting.

Rod puts on a great show! Took friends and we all loved it! Rod seems to really enjoy performing. He started on time and ended an hour and a half later. Perfect.

What a great show! I wasn’t a big Rod Stewart fan before this show but I am now. I know it’s called Rod Stewart The Hits but I actually knew every song. I was shocked. I thought I would know a few at most. For 70 Rod looks great. He’s still got it. There is not a bad seat in the Colosseum. We were seated very high up and could still see perfectly. Don’t be late he starts right on time.

Still sings and brings it on! One of the best shows I’ve seen in a very long time. Glad I had the opportunity to see him.

Best Rod Stewart Concert I’ve ever been to. State of the art sound system, great multi talented band members. Great show! I love Rod Stewart and glad to see his daughter Ruby joined him do duet– Forever Young! Fun and sexy finale with colorful balloons. Caesar’s Palace was great too. Heather and I had a blast.

Barely made 4 stars. I was stating at Caesars Palace so I figured it would be cool to see Rod Stewart. Of course I bought the upper level cheap seats because he’s not worth all that money.
The show was fine it was basically a walk through for Rod. His music doesn’t warrant him jumping around on stage or any high energy type stuff. I’m sure after his show he could go out to dinner or for a jog because he’s just walking back an forth like Tony Bennett.
I had to laugh because Rod took a vocal break by letting his daughter preform a song, also during the drum solo and while his back up girls sang Proud Mary.
The show is an hour an a half and he took at least a 14 min break. Lol he’s no Mick Jagger at the same age.
My advice is buy the cheap seats an enjoy the music but don’t expect much.
Rod I’m staying at Caesars until tomorrow if you care to comment.

Great to see how good he looks and fantastic musicians backing him up. Incredible disappointment he did not sing his mainstay — Hot Legs. No explanation. Show is reasonably priced for the entertainment value. Too much time on this daughter. Could have sung more Rod Stewart and Faces.

Oh yah, this is my childhood crush from the 70’s thanks to my mom…
Enjoy, sing and buy something!
ps. don’t drink because you don’t wanna leave to pee!

Best performance we have ever seen in LV. Great voice. Great band. Very much interactive with the audience. Fantastic!

He’s just so good and so entertaining. Didn’t do some of my favorites like DowntownTrain, Some Guys have all the luck, infatuation and so many others but I guess he just has too many hits to fit in the time. Regardless it’s a great show and worth seeing.

I like Rod Stewart’s music. Saw his face on a billboard in October while in Vegas, and decided it’d be nice to see a live performance. As it happened, we came back to Vegas in under a month. Rod Stewart performs on Wednesdays only, maybe in the winter only? Not sure why.
We sat in the center rear orchestra. When I saw Bette Midler at the Colosseum a few years ago, I sat in the same part of the Colosseum. She seemed like a tiny ant. With Rod Stewart, it was perfect as there’s a huge projection screen dead center behind the stage.
You can still see tiny Rod performing live, and also look at the screen for big Rod and his supporting crew as the camera scans across the stage intermittently.
The night we saw Rod perform, he had bronchitis. He did his best considering. Four wardrobe changes. He closed out the show with two of his hits.
I’m not sure how much more energy Rod might have had minus his bronchitis, but he gave a professional performance.
Some guys have all the luck.

Saw Rod, the God, the Bod on Sept 20, 2014 he did all the hits you’d want him to do it was great — he’s so good, still as good as ever. When he started The First Cut is the Deepest — I had to tear up – so many memories, he’s a party of the soundtrack of our lifetime. Thank you Rod! And tickets were cheap only like $ 75 although we were in upper balcony — I’d say, if you’re going, spend the $ 100 and sit closer — would’ve added the tad bit of closeness we were missing :)

I finally got to go see a Rod Stewart show and wow! It was awesome! I have loved his music since I was a teenager and watching him perform live was… amazing! He still has a lot of energy left and I loved his cute little dance moves.
We arrived to the show about 10 minutes late and was hoping the show started late as well, but nope, it started on time at 7:30.
We sat in rear orchestra 2 and had a good view of the stage. His daughter, Ruby, came out and sang a solo, and then she sang a song with her dad. It was so beautiful to see them two together.
My favorite part of the show was when Rod Stewart kicked 20 or more signed autographed soccer balls into the crowd.

Best show in Vegas, incredible energy and well worth the price of the ticket. The venue at Caesars Palace is a perfect place to watch, not a bad seat in the house. He sings most of his to his and the band and dancers are great. Loved that he kicks autographed soccer balls into the stands while singing. people went crazy for that. Went on a Saturday night and was packed out. Get there a bit early, great vibe.

I absolutely LOVED this show! We were at the concert on May 11. What a great show! Great performances, not only by Rod Stewart, but also his ensemble of talented musicians and back up singers. I loved the way that he highlights his ensemble.
We were not disappointed with any part of his performance. I would recommend this concert to anyone who is a fan of his music. We were already talking about returning the next time he’s at Caesar’s.

Came to this concert last Friday night. Not a fan of Rod nor his old school songs but I admire the energy and dedication of the 69 years old who sings and hip swings for an hour and half. His daughter Ruby is also phenomenal. If my parents ever visit, I will bring them to this concert without a doubt. Thanks Rod for the wonderful evening.

Amazing show with hit after hit — therefore, a properly named show!
I had the pleasure of taking in the last show before Rod Stewart went on hiatus for the winter.
A playful and enigmatic performance that does leave you wanting just a bit more.
Not only was the performance great, so was the venue. Caesar’s The Colosseum is a great venue.

If 40 is the new 30, Rod Stewart just made 68 ageless. His charm, playfulness, flintiness, and energy created an unforgettable experience.

I have seen Rod Stewart 3 times, once at the MGM Grand Garden and now twice at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace. The show is fantastic and the venue is too!
When he was many years younger, Stewart told an interviewer from Rolling Stone Magazine that he didn’t intend to become a parody of himself by singing «Do You Think I’m Sexy» when he was fifty years old. Now the 68 year old Stewart, as of January, closes his show with just that song and there’s a mention of the interview on the LCD panel above. And, many of the women of all ages think he is.
The show, as another reviewer stated, starts promptly at 7:30. If you come later, you’ll be missing something so plan ahead. Stewart changes his show a bit now and then by singing some of the songs from the album he released earlier in 2013. Last night, he did one song from the new album. But he did many of the standards – «Have I Told You Lately»; «The First Cut Is the Deepest»; «Rhythm of My Heart»; «Forever Young»; and «Hot Legs» to name a few. The only gem I wish he’d do in the show would be «If Only.» I really love that song.
Stewart is a very active performer moving to all areas of the large stage and through the audience as he’s backed up by a superb group of musicians and fine singers. He takes full advantage of the band members’ talents. Periodically, he leaves the stage to change clothes – no, he’s not as bad as Cher with clothes – but it gives the singers and band members a chance to showcase their individual and collective talents! It also gives the 68 year old a chance to take a break.
He kicks personally signed soccer balls to the audience and you’re lucky if you can get one. He keeps the chatter to a minimum unlike some performers who have to talk forever about where a song came from, who their parents are, or even to introduce them. The one song from the new album that he sang last night was an homage to his father and even the intro to that song was just a minimum – what it needs to be to explain it.
One note to the super fans and the younger crowd in the audience. In case you didn’t know, when you buy a ticket to the show, you get the seat, too! At no extra cost! Free! Really! Would I kid you? You paid $ 250 plus fees so sit in the damn seat. And guys, swaying your asses isn’t sexy – it just means you’ve been hitting the sauce too much in Las Vegas. On the other hand, there were a few cuties last night that shook their stuff and they (the women) were fine! Other than that, except for a few songs when everyone’s up and swinging, sit the hell down!

WARNING: This show isn’t for everybody; only the sexy people. Be prepared to be wowed by a legendary performer if you choose to watch this show. Don’t say I didn’t warn you…
Mr. Rod «Do Ya Think I’m Sexy» Stewart has it going on even at age 65. Throughout the entire concert, he was energized, full of life (he was kicking soccer balls into the audience, and at great lengths!), and appeared to be having a blast performing. There’s a reason why entertainers like Rod remain popular until this day and perform at venues like The Colosseum. For him to ask the audience, «Why would anyone pay to watch someone ‘mime’?» was a good question that got me and probably most of the audience members pondering about previous concerts attended.
The concert starts on time and ends on time, so it’s best to be punctual. This isn’t one of those concerts where you can show up thinking the performer will be late and you can spare 15 minutes to grab five drinks in the lobby.
The program begins with an upbeat opening which leads into memorable tunes that’ll get you all excited once you identify the melodies. Here are some of my favorites that he performed:
— Hot Legs (Yeowww!)
— The First Cut is the Deepest (this tugged at the heartstrings)
— Have I Told You Lately (dust got in my eye during this song)
— Do Ya Think I’m Sexy (I can now die happily after having heard this live! *weeps tears of joy*)
All the performances were sensational. Rod’s the main attraction, but he also has a talented band of drummers, saxophonists, and singers. Being a violinist, this may be biased of me, but the violinist was my favorite musician. She not only has the skills to master the strings, but she pounded on drums, strummed on guitars, and even sang (dang, girl!).
There’s not a bad seat in the house, so you can see everything that occurs on stage. Plus, there’s a large television that displays the action. The backdrop is bright, crystal clear, and visually appealing with its animated graphics and picture slide shows that showcase photos of Rod’s early years and loved ones.
Another thing to note: Rod encourages photography, but filming of the show is prohibited. There were times when the ushers had to tell audience members to put away their cameras, though I noticed that these people were not filming. To take photos or not to take photos? I think Rod’s word is law.
Rod Stewart’s music is before my time. I grew up listening to his songs, but I never found them to be enjoyable (except the «Sexy» song). However, at the concert I was reminded of the lyrics to songs I heard over and over, and I developed appreciation. Now, I’m a Rod convert.
Lastly, GO CELTICS! (
