The biggest danger to health as Rod Stewart closes BBC Radio 2’s “festival in a day” in central London isn’t any of the singer’s old vices, such as riotous behaviour and blizzards of cocaine. Instead, it’s the risk of broken limbs from people tripping over an Ikea’s worth of garden furniture that litters the park and is invisible in the darkness.

It’s a curious event – Stewart is preceded by the Corrs, Bryan Adams and a DJ set from Giorgio Moroder (in a backwards baseball cap), that he keeps interrupting with short anecdotes – made even more curious by Stewart’s choice of set. Instead of his usual, slightly tired arena set of singalongs, he promises to showcase less familiar material. Given that he has been a global superstar for 45 years, the concept of “less familiar” is relative, but the result is fabulous.

This concert is a basic piece of history in Rod's career, a must keep for every Rod Stewart fan. Here you can choose to watch the concert online (as long as the BBC allows the concert to be hosted on Youtube) and also you can download the video of the concert as a stand-alone mp4 computer file or a DVD ready file which contains a set of 2 DVDs in order to preserve good image quality.

This version of the concert is 90 minutes long: it includes the intro by the BBC, the track "Angel" which is missing from the high quality versions already available around the internet, it includes the "fuck off" moment banned for the BBC, and the outro. The image quality of these files is amazing.

The concert has been taken down from Youtube due to a complain from the BBC - however, for some reason some videos of the concert haven't been banned yet as for sept. 18th 2015. Here is a link to our file on Youtube, which at the moment is up and running.

It has a Youtube restriction: it CANNOT be viewed on tablets or smartphones, it has to be played from a computer and might be blocked for some countries.
