I'm watching this 20 years after this live show and the song is over 50 years old. Yet this sounds 1000% better than any of the 'new' music I hear today
“You Wear It Well” (1972) was penned as a collaboration between Rod Stewart and Martin Quittenton. The subject of this song is Stewart writing a letter to an old flame. What she is wearing well might be her current life, the years passing by, or the birthday gown he once offered her. The tune falls squarely into Stewart’s central body of work, as another folksy “blue-eyed soul” ballad. This sounds pretty similar to “Maggie May” (1971), a huge hit from his previous album “Every Picture Tells a Story” (1971). Along with “You Wear It Well,” other charting singles from the “Never a Dull Moment” LP (1972) include a cover of Jimi Hendrix’s “Angel” (1971) and a version of Glenn Sutton’s “What Made Milwaukee Famous”, released by Jerry Lee Lewis in 1968. The line “Madame Onassis got nothing on you” refers to Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis (née Bouvier) - former First Lady to and widow of President John Fitzgerald Kennedy. At the time, Jacqueline - often called “Jackie O” - was the spouse of Greek tycoon Aristotle Onassis until his death in 1975. Jackie O made quite a reputation for herself as a woman of grace, charm and style, prompting the London Evening Standard to comment as follows : “Jacqueline Kennedy has given the American people… one thing they have always lacked : Majesty.” Ronnie Wood from The Faces and later of The Rolling Stones played guitar on this track. 💙🎵💚 May you rest in peace, unforgettable Jacqueline Lee Kennedy Onassis (1929 - 1994)… 🌹
I never knew what the song was about. Now I do!! It's about her personality. The woman you're speaking about in the song. I thought it was about her clothes that. She was wearing.❤ No it's about her grandeur her persona the way she carries herself. How confident and sure she is of Every move she makes. Like what she's doing where she's going. Just like Jacqueline Onassis. I never knew what this song meant. Now I do.!! On top of that, she's got a man admiring her for being that way because she wears it well. You spend enough time working on yourself. You'll get to look that good too!! You have to love who you are on the inside and then you can love yourself on the outside.❤ Happy Sunday!😊
Still coming here to listen to one of ROD's best performances ever . The Lady Fiddler is great and ROD STEWART is fabulous and I hope he stays around with his music a while longer. I love to listen to him and I have been doing that since the early 70's. The lyrics of this melody are great ! Such an enthusiastic audience...would love to have been there and share the joy ! .
Always my favorite Rod Stewart song. Beautifully written and crafted, uptempo and yet slightly bittersweet. Wonderfully performed. They just don't write them like that anymore.
Such a great musician!! I don't think there is anyone, no matter their age, who doesn't have one of Rod's songs stuck in their head. I have been soooo blessed, to have heard Maggie May at 12 years old, and gone along for the ride of so many of Rod's hits. He is an amazing artist, and it has truly been my good fortune to have been able to enjoy his music for over 40 years!! Thanks Rod, for keeping us rockin and rollin. Your talent is unsurpassed by any other!!
One of ROD's performaces I like the best. He is SUPER but I think the lady playing the fiddle does a great job backing him up. What a great song and rythm ! Unforgetable.
Everything is great about this performance. Rockin Rod, the hot violinist, the blonde in the audience and the guy with the tartan jester type headwear pumping his fist to the song even though he’s been ushered away. You see him again moments later still pumping his fist in the air to the rhythm of the song. It makes me laugh every time. I can picture him still fist pumping to it today lol. Right song for it
this Albert Hall show is one of his goats, its worth the guys time to go see Rod just for the babes in the audience. The only other time i've seen more is Elvis in Vegas
I had nothing to do on this hot afternoon But to settle down and write you a line I've been meaning to phone you but from Minnesota Hell it's been a very long time You wear it well A little old fashioned but that's all right Well I suppose you're thinking I bet he's sinking Or he wouldn't get in touch with me Oh, I ain't begging or losing my head I sure do want you to know that you wear it well There ain't a lady in the land so fine Remember them basement parties, your brother's karate The all day rock and roll shows Them homesick blues and radical views Haven't left a mark on you, you wear it well A little out of time but I don't mind But I ain't forgetting that you were once mine But I blew it without even tryin' Now I'm eatin' my heart out Tryin' to get a letter through Since you've been gone it's hard to carry on I'm gonna write about the birthday gown that I bought in town When you sat down and cried on the stairs You knew it did not cost the earth, but for what it's worth You made me feel a millionaire and you wear it well Madame Onassis got nothing on you Anyway, my coffee's cold and I'm getting told That I gotta get back to work So when the sun goes low and you're home all alone Think of me and try not to laugh and I wear it well I don't object if you call collect 'Cause I ain't forgetting that you were once mine But I blew it without even tryin' Now I'm eatin' my heart out tryin' to get back to you After all the years I hope it's the same address Since you've been gone it's hard to carry on
Como vc canta e encanta com essa voz, meu Deus como eu gostaria de ser bonita e ter dinheiro para assistir teu show ao vivo. Mais te aprecio tanto que tenho que me contentar por aqui mesmo. Simples celular do Brasil . Deus te abençoe muito muito muito.
I cannot believe he skipped over the best verse, about the birthday gown. 'You knew it didn't cost the Earth, but for what it's worth: you made me feel a millionaire '. I love that bit so much.
saw Rod in person at the Hollywood Bowl. Three hours into it? Rod was still singing his hits. It's only then that ye realize. How many there were - Rod's a catalogue at this point. "Rod-Rod, Cada-Logue." (repeat 12 times)
I have loved Rod Stewart since the first time I heard him sing. Great song. One of my favorites although I like/love all of his song's. The violinist/mandolin player is the best. Love it!
I feel the songs he has written like Maggie May, Handbags and Glad Rags, and Wear it Well are his very best. Dig that violin. So powerful. We love you Rod. Thank you for what you have given us.
The late great Jeff Golub on guitar (far right). Check out his music on RUclips, you' love it. He also played under the name of his early band: Avenue Blue.

J'Anna is as much a part of this as Rod with her gorgeous infectious smile!

Love how the entire audience just adores him & reacts accordingly! & you can tell he loves them!
That lady on the violin just ROCKS !
The woman with the 🎻 is killing it she's awesome
She is fantastic 👍
J'Anna Jacoby. She was with Rod (in the band not with) for a long time!
I think that's Rod's daughter!!!!
A real babe
Agreed 100%
No other voice like Rod's nothing but pure raw talent ........
That fiddle player could make me write a bad check.
It's really nice to see middle-aged British people enjoying themselves.
He’s singing about how well she has carried herself through the years

Honestly one if the top 3 preformers I have been blessed to see live
Not a phone in sight. Living in the moment.
Man. The baby on the violin just sheds it!
Shreds it

Timeless voice
Well said. Right behind ya pardner.
Sad what is called music has become
Я с вами согласна. Я тоже когда слышу его песни, чувствую себя молодой, хотя мне тоже 68 лет.. 😍🤗😅
Summer of 72 in Sydney. Remember this well Rod. Then saw you in 74 at Randwick Race Course with a Flame I had then. Thanks mate.
I love seeing the couples smiling at one another who probably grew up on Rod.
This is such a amazing tune! Will never get old!
Such a great musician!! I don't think there is anyone, no matter their age, who doesn't have one of Rod's songs stuck in their head.

I've had Wear it Well stuck in my head for about a year now. Almost once a day I have to stop whatever I'm doing to listen to it again.
One of ROD's performaces I like the best. He is SUPER but I think the lady playing the fiddle does a great job backing him up. What a great song and rythm ! Unforgetable.
J'Anna Jacoby
1:16 Legendary fan right there, Rod acknowledges it a few seconds later
Everything is great about this performance.

My favorite Rod song-Timeless. The violin is so tasty!
Fiddle.
@@wadeberry5747 Violin
Yeah exactly what I thought
Love the Lady violen player
I don't know if there was a pop artist from that era , that seemed more joyful. Rod just emanates joy! We can all learn from him.
Rod is the man!
The best music ever. I love it. I never stopped listening. It reminds me of the best years of my life❤❤.
Always and ever
His drop dead gorgeous , so down to earth. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
There's no other artist like Rod Stewart, I love his music.
@Rod Stewart official. You are NOT Rod Stewart ..'Official'! 🙄 Find a life of your own, like the comment said, THERE IS ONLY ONE ROD STEWART!!!!
Nobody else like him forreal
q
Wow that mic sure did see heights
Incredible control
Increfible
Performance ❤
this Albert Hall show is one of his goats, its worth the guys time to go see Rod just for the babes in the audience. The only other time i've seen more is Elvis in Vegas
Love to the lady with the luminous smile, brilliant fiddle solo.
That's my buddy, the one and only J'Anna Jacoby! There's only one of her, too!❤
Yeah, the fiddle is the heart of the song. Gives me goosebumps
Love Jana Jacoby , absolutely love her !
Yes SIR.SO MANY OF YOURS SONGS AND PERSONALIZY!❤
I had nothing to do on this hot afternoon
But to settle down and write you a line
I've been meaning to phone you but from Minnesota
Hell it's been a very long time
You wear it well
A little old fashioned but that's all right
Well I suppose you're thinking I bet he's sinking
Or he wouldn't get in touch with me
Oh, I ain't begging or losing my head
I sure do want you to know that you wear it well
There ain't a lady in the land so fine
Remember them basement parties, your brother's karate
The all day rock and roll shows
Them homesick blues and radical views
Haven't left a mark on you, you wear it well
A little out of time but I don't mind
But I ain't forgetting that you were once mine
But I blew it without even tryin'
Now I'm eatin' my heart out
Tryin' to get a letter through
Since you've been gone it's hard to carry on
I'm gonna write about the birthday gown that I bought in town
When you sat down and cried on the stairs
You knew it did not cost the earth, but for what it's worth
You made me feel a millionaire and you wear it well
Madame Onassis got nothing on you
Anyway, my coffee's cold and I'm getting told
That I gotta get back to work
So when the sun goes low and you're home all alone
Think of me and try not to laugh and I wear it well
I don't object if you call collect
'Cause I ain't forgetting that you were once mine
But I blew it without even tryin'
Now I'm eatin' my heart out tryin' to get back to you
After all the years I hope it's the same address
Since you've been gone it's hard to carry on
Even as a man, it’s easy for me to love Sir Rod. He’s got the stuff that both men and chicks dig!!
Rod Stewart's voice is so recognizable . I love his music. Very talented and charismatic cool dude .

Style never goes out of fashion, Rod s got it !!
tremendous. he's been around. I remember rocking to Handbags and Gladrags. 1968
The hottest violinists...Stewart and Roxy Music??
He was a superb songwriter, which sometimes gets overlooked..."The killing of Georgie" is a prime example.
Actually, it’s Rod Stewart who “wears it well” ❗️
☮️☮️
🥀Amazing Song Brilliant lyrics, vocals and music. He doesn't need a studio I truly believe that 🥀☝️
He absolutely loves singing to his audience. He radiates that love from inside out💖
Early Rod Stewart was his best shit, it was actually rock and roll.
Great song!!!…Great voice!!!!
