I wish I had seen that version.What's on the DVD?

Wonder why they failed to included anything from his first solo album like Street Fighting Man or Handbags & Gladrags.


Not even a killer tune like...



...Cut Across Shorty from Gasoline Alley

I saw that one but it doesn't have one of the tracks that I like from the "Infatuation" album on it. If I get that album, I'll have all the Rod Stewart I want since I already have these albums:

A greatest hits album of his from the 1970s when he moved to Warner Bros.
"Footloose and Fancy Free" which contains "Hot Legs"
"Blondes Have More Fun" which contains "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy"
"Foolish Behaviour" which contains "Passion"
"Tonight I'm Yours" which contains "Young Turks"

As for that adult contemporary stuff he made in the late 1980s, he needs his ass beat for that shit.

He needs his ass beat for the greatest hits of the 50s, 60s, and 70s more so.

daPrettyman said:

Cool....thanks for the info.

"Infatuation" and "Some Guys Have All The Luck". I thought there was a third one I liked but I can't remember.

theAudience said:

They definitely gave short shrift to the early rod. commercially smart, i suppose, but they're certainly short-changing us on artistry. for too brief a time, he was the greatest rock vocalist out there.

vainandy said:

Actually,there wasn't an album titled 'Infatuation'.The album is titled 'Camouflage' and was released in June 1984,containg three singles:

"Infatuation"
"Some Guys Have All The Luck"
"All Right Now"


FYI,the second and third singles are re-makes.

If I am not mistaken, "Some Guys Have all the luck", was originally a reggae song. I have a version by Maxi Preist and I remember in the liner notes it stated that it was done by a reggae artist in the 60's

Really? That's interesting.

SoulAlive said:

Ohh no!
Not again
