I'm not massive football fan,so have never seen Bolton wanderers play a match here.
I was here to see a rock & pop concert - Rod Stewart performing here to a (nearly) capacity crowd.
He,along with his backing musicians; gave an excellent performance.some familiar songs; Maggie may,Tonight's the night,Sailing,Do ya think I'm sexy and an outstanding performance of The killing of Georgie parts 1&2.
The concert took place a week after the D day 75th anniversary commemorations.Rod mentioned his recent meetings with d day veterans and their amazing stories of that day.then he (and band) performed Rythym of my heart,to a backdrop of images of d day - moving and heart rending beyond words.
The performance ended after two hours,to the explosion of fireworks.a fitting end to a truly excellent concert.
Some of the audience seemed to have little or no interest in music,let alone Rod Stewart.with them constantly getting up for alcoholic drinks - free country I guess.pity you had to try and spoil it for the rest of us - waste of the price of a concert ticket. sad fact of concert going life it seems!
