Great Performances: One Night with Rod Stewart (2005)
The annoying audience
Rod at the Royal Albert Hall would seem to be something special but falls way short. Considering his catalogue it should be non stop energy. But even though more than a few of his songs are rockers, he goes overboard with the schmaltz. And when he does the audience just won't shut up. Every song was a sing along which is fine for one or two but not every song. Unfortunately the audience makeup was yuppies (yeah, they were still around in 2005) which is lethal for a rock concert. And they do the cringe worthy move of swaying their arms over their heads too. Rod is guilty encouraging it which only takes away from him.
If you want Rod at his best look for something from his time in the Jeff Beck group and of course The Faces. Just pass on this.
The Honeymooners: Better Living Through TV (1955)
A True TV Classic
I'll skip the premise. Quite simply this is possibly the greatest and funniest 30 minutes in the history of television. But everyone already knows that.
