@@tantraman10 It's called being versatile. Rod was a great rocker, great at pop, and now great at crooning the really old 'standards'. Rod has real talent, and he's been smart enough in reinvent himself over the decades. Even great-grannies love him because he sings their songs as well as grannies, moms, and their kids.
This always makes me laugh. My brother was 8 when this came out. We were in the car and it came on the radio. In it he says "but you turned into a lover and mother what a lover you wore me out. All you did was wreck my bed and in the morning kicked me in the head". My brother said, "boy, if his mother kicked me in the head I'd kick her back". My mother almost drove off the road from laughing!
when this came out I met my future wife in Scotland ,this was my nickname for her .we were together for 45 years before she passed away ,so it brings back awry smile and memories
I’ll admit it. Being an open Rod Stewart fan as a male in NJ in 1972 would’ve been strange. A girlfriend dragged me to a concert in NYC in 1974-75. Rod Stewart was a true entertainer. Many bands were less successful in live venues but not Rod Stewart He must’ve kicked 20-25 soccer balls into the crowd throughout the show. I learned a valuable lesson about the self limitations we place on our experiences.
Rod Stewart and Kristen Bell do the song with the orchestra oh my gosh they got a sex if I want to just blow she took the top of the roof off of this place she was absolutely amazing so is Kristen Bell Grande pretty good the song was I don't want to talk about it Christian Bale Rod Stewart with
I'm sure Rod is having a hard time just staying in that little spot on such a small stage. He's always all over the place. Nobody has a voice like him. Love it!!!!
His was one of the best unplugged performances. Amazing. His voice was incredible throughout the whole concert. And Ron Wood in guitar was a huge bonus.
India, the lead guitarist next to Rod, is Ronnie Wood from the Rolling Stones. He and Rod were in the Faces together when the original of this song was recorded. Although Ronnie left, he and Rod have always been good friends, hence his contribution in this performance. Incidently I went to school with Rod and also three of The Kinks in North London in the 60's. (Showing my age here!)
@@Isleofskye All pretty down to earth and ordinary really. Dave Davies was a bit more wild than Ray Davies or Pete Quaife. I remember going to see them at one of their first gigs at the Methodist Youth Club in Muswell Hill. This was before they became the Kinks and were called the Ravens. They used to send postcards from all over the World wherever they were, to their last form teacher at school. Until I left London in the mid eighties it was not unusual to see Ray Davies around Muswell Hill Broadway. Similarly Rod Stewart was still using the bar in the Muswell Hill British Legion well into the seventies. Incidentally the Clissold Arms in Fortis Green dead opposite where the Davies brothers grew up had a section of the pub dedicated to the Kinks with lots of photographs and memorobilia. Whether that is still the case I don't know as it's well over 10 years since I last visited London.
Hello, Buster 6810. Thanks for your detailed reply mate. Did they send postcards because the last form teacher said they would not make it or that they liked them (I'm guessing the former!) lolI moved in 1983 from Inner London but could not be far away so I moved just 10 miles to the very edge and it's been brilliant. Funnily enough, I was due to go back to Waterloo Station today ! Where did you move to, please, mate?It's changed even more in the last 10 years..
@@Isleofskye Actually they liked their last form teacher, Miss Keirl, very much. She was very supportive and encouraging and was always pleased to get the post cards which she would show to her current form. I moved to Wales in the mid eighties but still have friends and relatives living in and around Muswell Hill who I keep in touch with, so I'm only too well aware of how it has changed.
@@Buster-oj4tc What a lovely touch by Ray and The Lads! I wanted to move from the heart of Inner City South East London but could only bring myself ( literally :) ) to move 10 miles to be within 1/2 of the edge of it and 38 years on from that 1983 it STILL feels weird and my natural pull is towards that area where my heart lies as I lived over a very busy market and had 2 busy High Streets at either end of my road. The Old Kent Road was the quiet end so this is plenty far out as I love our 96 Open spaces within 7 miles here but how I miss the London vibe. I miss the characters which are not so common in The Suburbs :) Good Luck.
I was a teenager when this song came out. I remember the first time I heard it on the radio. I was listening to Wolfman Jack on WLS a radio station in Chicago. I was a student at Harbert Hills Academy in Savannah Tennessee. I went nuts over the song and Rod Stewart and I've been A fan ever since. Anyone my age will know who Wolfman Jack is ( The legend ! ) This song and The first cut is the deepest are my two favorite R.S. songs.❤❤❤❤
Saw him in 2016 with my mom (Rod is her favorite and this was a dream come true to see him together) and he was UNBELIEVABLE. So much energy! He is a consummate performer and he sounded incredible. He put on a SHOW!
Classic Rod ! Your facial expressions are gold and how you listen carefully to the lyrics is priceless for someone so young . Brilliant India ! Rave on Mr. Stewart .
Saw him in concert 5 years ago. He was 70 at the time, what an entertainer! He still sings this song at every show with just as much or even more enthusiasm. Love him.
In the early 80's a limo pulled up to the Pat's Cheesesteaks in South Philly. My family and I were waiting in line to order our food. Out of the limo comes Rod Stewart, Kelly Emberg was in the seat next to him. He ordered 20 cheesesteaks and returned to the limo. Before he re-entered the car he waved and winked to the astonished crowd. When his order was ready someone brought out the steaks to Rod . The next night we saw Rod in concert at the Spectrum. He is much better looking in person, he does not photograph well and I was surprised to see in person he has green eyes and freckles. Oh and the hair, it was perfect! I still remember what he was wearing, black slacks, a black plaid jacket, white shirt and a school bus yellow tie. Only Rod could pull that off.
This song was my intro to Rod Stewart, saw him one night on the midnight special singing it and was taken by his voice, he put out some really great songs over the years...♡
Am almost the same age as Rod Stewart, and have always loved his voice and his music, still do. Maggie May and Mandolin Wind have remained my faves, but I really have gotten a different take on this one in recent times. What great lyrics, to absolutely show the very essence of a young naive guy dealing with a woman he deems to be "old"...ah, the shock he feels that she can actually make love in such a way! Just shows that really great music can grow right along with us, keep revealing new emotion and joy to us.
Go a little bit further back to Small Faces with Steve Marriott. The Faces came from that group. Then Rod went solo, Ronnie went to the Stones. And history continues.
@@karend169 Also this is a hauntingly excellent song: "In A Broken Dream" originally by Python Lee Jackson (early Rod Stewart) but updated with Rod Stewart, David Gilmour and John Paul Jones (1992). Beautiful!
This song was super big in 1971..... That's Ron Woods on guitar who later went on to play with the Rolling Stones. This was a great unplugged concert , i want to recall for MTV at the time. I highly recommend Mandolin Wind from that same concert.
Yes, Rod Stewart was the sh*t back in the day. Memories are so important. I'm 55 now & blessed I still remember them. Thank you, India try "Your in my heart" 👍
This was the #1 song during the month/year I was born. One of my college roommates was a huge Rod Stewart fan, and had a life size cardboard cutout of him her room. Ever time I opened our front door, it scared the sh*t out of me.
As someone who has seen Rod more times than I can count, probably well over 100 times, there is nothing like seeing him live, and definitely nothing like the energy you will feel when he does Maggie May..
This song came out shortly after I came home (US Army Infantry 68-70). A month earlier my wife sent me a Dear John letter. 😎 I always thought of her when he sang "kick me in the head".
I'll tell you what I'll say this girl it could sound a whole lot lock Rod Stewart is Kristen Bell her and Rod Stewart do a song together with the orchestration oh my God you talking about something else now this is the real deal it's a Rod Stewart Kristen Bell I don't want to I don't want to which Rod Stewart Kristen May on the orchestra come on
I just lost a dear friend named Maggie, I’d sing this to in the morning at work. .. Maggie I got something to say to you... we were sp. ed teachers, it always put smile on face, gone to soon Maggie Lewis. I loved her she was such a dear lady.. , rip.
I like his work with the Jeff Beck Group and The Faces in the late '60s and early '70s, his solo work was also great in that period. This song got overplayed back in the '70s but it's a good one. His version of 'The First Cut Is the Deepest' is better than any other I've heard.
Ursula Turner He And Faces did an unequaled Rendition of, ‘I’m Losing You.’ You most likely remember that one; also. Man, they were Incredible! The Best!
Shirley Strand The ladies really love him. As a guy in the early ‘70’s, you wouldn’t be caught dead admiring him or David Bowie. I learned fast about taking girls to concerts they liked rather than who I liked. I saw him twice and he was a true entertainer who made the audience his friends for 2 1/2 hrs.
Yup ya got the meaning down. Also the guitar player is I believe Ronnie Wood. He and Rod were in a band called Faces and he is probably best known as 1/2 the guitar force of The Rolling Stones.
Brandon L - Before they joined the Faces (previously The Small Faces) Rod and Ronnie were in The Jeff Beck Group for Jeff’s first two albums. Ronnie played bass and Rod was lead vocalist... Ronnie was an excellent bass player...
@@ipsurvivor I didn't know they were with Jeff Beck...thanks for the info. I now find myself listening to what should be Tiinder's theme song....Stay with Me.
This song is iconic for me as here it the UK, it was at the top of the charts in September 1971, when I started college - the happiest three years of my life.
My favourite song. Place I used to work someone put this song on and it was on repeat, played for a good couple of hours and no one got bored of it. Remember saying to my boss, “you bored of this song yet” and he was like, “nope!”
I Hope Rod and his crew do make it down here to Australia in 2022. I would Love to see him in concert again. I saw him in about 1983 at Wembley Arena in London. Unfortunately he has had to postpone his Australian concert tour due to Covid-19.
From a very young age I grew up with all these songs with their cautionary tales of woe and regret & instead of heeding those lessons, all I took from it was "yeah,when I grow up I want to have some cool stories to write songs about too!" And damned if I didn't get them.
Every Picture Tells a Story is the album by an British singer that most captures an American vibe. There's something about other British groups that sound a little British, even when they're trying to impersonate American blues or country or folk singers. None were better than Rod Stewart at capturing the true American sound.
It amazes me how rod Stewart, bob seger, Luther vandross Kenny Rogers lionel Richie has this amazing way of telling a story about life experiences along with John mellencamp and they all reminds me of things that we went through while growing up because every singer has a different and amazing sound but in the end it all comes together.
Funny side note, that's Ron Wood on guitar, was there for the recording then joined The Rolling Stones in '75. He always jokes that he's never officially been told he got the job yet lol
My favorite song by Rod also because of the best. Down Town Train is another great song And Forever Young when he sings it with his daughter, shows his religious side.
How about 1973 Led Zep at their peak @ Wembley Arena: 75 PENCE.....Pink Floyd performing Dark Side Of THe Moon @ Earls Court in 1973 for £1 and both Deep Purple and the next week Creedence Clearwater Revival for 25 PENCE in 1973 up in The Gods at The Royal Albert Hall :)
Very true and I was lucky living in S E London just 2/3 miles from Central London and within easy access of Public Transport across London. We saw many groups at The Croydon Greyhound Pub with 3,000 standing including Status Quo: 5 times,MC 5,Atomic Rooster, Genesis ( their first Top Of The Bill performance ) Roxy Music,Focus,Golden Earring, Argent,Uriah Heep,Edgar Broughton Band and others. My first concert was Royal Festival Hall:Curved Air and saw them and Wishbone Ash and Quo and Deep Purple the most. Missed Rory Gallagher somehow but yes Ann....Great Days ! Did you go and where ?
@@DENVEROUTDOORMAN Wrong. Disco was hot and he was part of the hot happening scene. Rod is multi- dimensional like most great performers are. Even Mick Jagger was part of it. Miss You.
Used to hate Rod when he first hit, but this song broke me. I've easily been to six of his concerts at different stages of his and he's a full on entertainer; he holds the stage even when the band leaves the stage. You should listen to the original version and see what hooked us.
Girl! You wear your heart on your sleeve!! You take me on an emotional trip listening to lyrics and watching your expressions. It's like I'm hearing it for the first time again. Not his best version but, hey ho...
Finally someone is showing Rod Stewart some love. He is legendary.
Love him.
Just ask the Dallas Cowboys.
When he was a rocker!!!!... Not so much once he went to crooning pop tunes...
Hes a legend. Hes old. Still gets my respect. He can croak anything at this point. Doesnt take away his status.

My grandfather used to say
" If the young could know and the old could do, the world would be perfect!"
Wise old man.❤️
This is perfectly said!
Ain’t that the truth
Wow love this, I’ve written in my notes on my phone. It’s so so true.

Brilliant!!
haha..a fun memory.
So cute. The music from the 70s can never and will never be duplicated. A magical time!
@@audreyann1975 so true
when this came out I met my future wife in Scotland ,this was my nickname for her .we were together for 45 years before she passed away ,so it brings back awry smile and memories

Thank you for sharing this memory - songs can bring back memories like nothing else can. Also, I am sorry to hear of your loss.
So happy you both had 45 years together sorry you lost her tho ❤️

Play the single, it shows his powerful voice in his youth.
I have to disagree with you. He sounded great here and just did a different (and I dare say) better version of the studio recording.
I AGREE, while this version is good, the Single is FANTASTIC and should be listened to FIRST, to fully appreciate what all the fuss was about ;-)
oh man u are right, If she heard the single that was played on radio and faster pace She would have
have been knocked out by its raw intensity
This entire Unplugged album was fantastic. Love Rod. 😍💛😍
His was one of the best unplugged performances. Amazing. His voice was incredible throughout the whole concert. And Ron Wood in guitar was a huge bonus.
One of the best live entertainers I’ve seen! And I’m old and seen quite a few!!!! He pours it all out on stage✌️ love you Rod!!!!!
The golden era of music - the 70s! The arrangement, the lyrics, the melody, the voices, the emotions evoked. Real music...TIMELESS!

Rid Stewart "Forever Young" is great. Every time I hear it I cry. If my kids ever get married, I want to have a dance with them to this song.

This is easily my favorite Rod "The Mod" Stewart's song, it just never gets old even after nearly 50 years.
That mandolin solo is one of the best things to ever happen in a rock song! Crank it all the way up every time in the car!
The opening of the song shows that voice of his doesn't even need music 💜
Joyce Adams I love the intro to “Losing You.”
@@elfcounsul That's an excellent song as well
Have seen him in concert several times. They must have used crazy glue to keep him in that seat. Gotta love Rod Stewart!

One of the greatest voices to come out of Britain, And one of the greatest of all time

Please, listen to the studio version. It's killer. Rod is one of the best, powerful, soulful voices in history.
The great Ron woods... Try the band "the faces" excellent band and music. ☮️
Yes. The Faces was a great band too. I feel like back then, they interchanged artists, or just moved them around to another band.

Rod is that guy that when you hear just a couple words of any song, you know it's him singing.
This song was playing everywhere when it was new! Rod loved his Maggie.
OMG I LOVE LOVE LOVE Rod Stewart!!!! Thank you for bringing him to the channel!!
Love that smoky-gravelly voice of Rods.

Got to see Rod Stewart last year in concert when he played this song, people went bananas and were singing along
Rod Stewart is the best....hands down...period!!!!
It's an absolutely epic song. 1971 was the best year for music, I swear!
Incredible song ! And Rod is a Superstar !!!
Hi Beautiful. Thank you for this one. Love his voice. Heart throb from way back.
Funny side note, that's Ron Wood on guitar, was there for the recording then joined The Rolling Stones in '75. He always jokes that he's never officially been told he got the job yet lol
Rod Stewart has such an amazing unique voice.
One of my fav ever!!! Love his music!!!!
I loved that song when I was a kid ... preteen, but it is such a great song. Great reaction!
My all time favorite rod stewart song.Love,love it
This (.....the original studio version ) came out when I was in high school.....& that mandolin ALWAYS gets me.
I was in Grade 10, 1970-1971. Such a good song that brings back those amazing years.
My favorite song by Rod also because of the best. Down Town Train is another great song And Forever Young when he sings it with his daughter, shows his religious side.
I love Rod. I have seen him in concert 5 times. The first time was in 1972............ Great memories. Love the Mandolin........ :-)
One of my regrets not seeing Rod and The Boys around 1972 which was my first real year of going to Concerts all over London.
@@Isleofskye That is to bad. But you must have seen other good concerts......... :-)
How about 1973 Led Zep at their peak @ Wembley Arena: 75 PENCE.....Pink Floyd performing Dark Side Of THe Moon @ Earls Court in 1973 for £1 and both Deep Purple and the next week Creedence Clearwater Revival for 25 PENCE in 1973 up in The Gods at The Royal Albert Hall :)
@@Isleofskye You were going to concerts at the right time. WOW .......... :-)
Very true and I was lucky living in S E London just 2/3 miles from Central London and within easy access of Public Transport across London. We saw many groups at The Croydon Greyhound Pub with 3,000 standing including Status Quo: 5 times,MC 5,Atomic Rooster, Genesis ( their first Top Of The Bill performance ) Roxy Music,Focus,Golden Earring, Argent,Uriah Heep,Edgar Broughton Band and others. My first concert was Royal Festival Hall:Curved Air and saw them and Wishbone Ash and Quo and Deep Purple the most. Missed Rory Gallagher somehow but yes Ann....Great Days ! Did you go and where ?
I love rod Stewart! Saw him in concert we had great seats, I was out of my mind seeing him. Best concert ever!
I love your expressions! Another artist with lots of great songs. “Young Turks” by him is one of my favorites. Gets me going.
LOVE LOVE Rod Stewart and this song
I'm new to your channel. I love watching your face when the lyrics shock you! You're so funny.
Rod Stewart is one of a kind ya gotta 💟 him!!!
I was in 7th grade when this came out. I promised i was going to name my daughter Maggie May, but of course I didn't. Love Rod Stewart.
These classic artist from just a generation ago are amazing
The original studio recording is so much better
RLucas3000 Gosh, yes.This is entertaining but a shadow of the original.
Well this should nt be unplugged
This is real good. It has spontaneity. Live is real people.
@@clydeb7713 not in this case but Roddy sold out to disco
@@DENVEROUTDOORMAN Wrong. Disco was hot and he was part of the hot happening scene. Rod is multi- dimensional like most great performers are. Even Mick Jagger was part of it. Miss You.
I love Rod Stewart! One of my faves.
Every song that Rod sings is outstanding...Since he was with the Band " Faces ".
Used to hate Rod when he first hit, but this song broke me. I've easily been to six of his concerts at different stages of his and he's a full on entertainer; he holds the stage even when the band leaves the stage. You should listen to the original version and see what hooked us.
Girl! You wear your heart on your sleeve!! You take me on an emotional trip listening to lyrics and watching your expressions. It's like I'm hearing it for the first time again. Not his best version but, hey ho...
