He added a pop of color to his classic ensemble with a green paisley handkerchief.

Meanwhile, Penny went more low key in a pair of skinny jeans, plain white top and jean jacket.

The performer has eight children by four women in total; Ruby Stewart, Kimberly Stewart, Sean Stewart, Sarah Streeter, Liam Stewart, Renee Stewart as well as Aiden Stewart and Alastair Wallace Stewart with wife, 43-year-old Penny Lancaster, whom he's been married to for almost seven years.

Speaking to The Mirror, Penny said: ‘[Rod] really is hugely romantic – champagne, flowers, candlelit dinners... all of that.

‘We’re so fortunate that we can do lovely family stuff together then if my mum or the nanny’s around Rod and I get to have our moment together.’

She added: ‘It’s very important to have ‘Mummy and Daddy time’ together.’

ALBANY – It was something of an odd-couple double-bill – Rod Stewart and Carlos Santana, two classic rockers who seem to have little in common other than their longevity, their devoted fan bases and the fact that they’ve each racked up a bunch of hits since kicking off their careers in the ’60s.

The tag-line for the co-headlining tour that launched at the Times Union Center on Friday night is: The voice (Stewart). The guitar. (Santana) The songs (Stewart and Santana). And the fairly-close-to-a-sold-out crowd certainly got all of that. But the musical mismatch was evident in the fact that the two stars collaborated on only one song during the three-and-a-half-hour concert – a surprisingly tame rendition of Etta James smoldering soul classic, “I’d Rather Go Blind,” during Stewart’s set. (Judging by the army of cellphone cameras that popped up during that performance, you can probably check out multiple videos of it on YouTube, even as you’re reading this.)

Looking sporty in a canary-yellow blazer and matching socks, Stewart and his 13-piece band romped right into his headlining set with “Infatuation,” at the end of which, for some reason, he was barking like a dog. The 69-year-old Stewart has had a varied career, and he touched on most of it from his rollicking days with the Faces (“Stay With Me”), through folk-rock (the show-closing “Maggie May”), his MTV days (“Hot Legs,” during which he kicked dozens of autographed soccer balls into the crowd), his R&B fascination (Sam Cooke’s “Havin’ a Party”) and sentimental if sometime schmaltzy love ballads (notably Van Morrison’s “Have I Told You Lately,” buoyed by a seven-piece string section of lovely local musicians). NOTE: He wisely avoided anything from his long love affair with the Great American Songbook.

His always raspy voice was surprisingly strong, although his best vocal performances were derailed: “Reason to Believe” by his mugging and clowning around, and the booming, anthemic “Forever Young” by an overly long drum solo (to cover for one of several costume changes). But a Stewart show is really about having fun, especially for Stewart himself. He doesn’t take himself too seriously, and by the time he dipped back to his disco days for the encore of “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy?” with a nod and a wink, he was sporting a straw cowboy hat amid a chorus-line of 19 musicians as dozens of balloons dropped from the rafters.

Carlos Santana and his 10-piece band featured several selections from his new Latin music album, “Corazon,” but like Stewart he also showcased the various twists and turns of his career time-line, focusing on the Woodstock-era Latin blues of the scorching “Black Magic Woman,” “Oye Como Va” and the percolating percussion duel of “Jingo,” as well as his 1999 Grammy-grabbing Latin pop blockbuster, “Supernatural” (“Maria Maria” and “Smooth,” featuring vocalists Andy Vargas and Tony Lindsay). And when he ripped into the encore of “Soul Sacrifice,” the band transformed it into a musical mash-up montage that included George Gershwin, the Specials, Ennio Morricone and the Police.

Clearly a style influence for his daughter, she followed suit - but in black, with leather boots and a designer handbag.

Meanwhile, Kimberley's adorable daughter was on trend in cute ankle boots and a comfy denim waistcoat. Together, the trio looked in fine form.

Rod has eight children by four women in total; Ruby Stewart, Kimberly Stewart, Sean Stewart, Sarah Streeter, Liam Stewart, Renee Stewart as well as Aiden Stewart and Alastair Wallace Stewart with wife Penny Lancaster, who is also with him in California.

The family of four recently enjoyed a day out together on Easter Sunday, in which Rod sported his all-white look.

Rod and Penny have always had a rock solid marriage, and the pair revealed that they keep it alive by going on frequent romantic breaks and by making love ‘three quality times a week’

Speaking to The Mirror, Penny said: ‘[Rod] really is hugely romantic – champagne, flowers, candlelit dinners... all of that.

‘We’re so fortunate that we can do lovely family stuff together then if my mum or the nanny’s around Rod and I get to have our moment together.’

She added: ‘It’s very important to have ‘Mummy and Daddy time’ together.’
