I had the pleasure to accompany my wife and 2 friends to the Rod Stewart concert at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre last night

Diesel was the support act and really got the crowd primed for Rod. And as to Mr Stewart, he was amazing. Didn't let the audience down and sang all the older songs that he's famous for. Was a bit disappointed that we didn't get any of the "crooner' songs from the Great American Songbook albums but what he produced was fantastic.

His back up musicians were amazing - the violinist was simply stunning - and not only from her looks. He artistry on the instruments was spectacular - she really enjoyed her work.

All in all, an amazing night - look forward to seeing him again somewhere around the world.
