The gig was actually OK. I'm no fan of Rod; more of a Faces man if anything. But he was on Mrs Mortified's bucket list and being at Edinburgh Castle just topped it off. Interestingly (you listening, Quo? ) he didn't sing Dirty Old Town on Friday. I remember him at one point saying "we didn't play this one last night" but I can't remember which song he put in. But presumably it replaced this one. It was basically a greatest hits gig. I knew every song he sang. As did the crowd who sang along en masse all night. The highlights for me were the opening number - Addicted To Love with the girls dressed per Robert Palmer's video - and Woodie from the Bay City Rollers coming on to a rapturous reception to sing Sunshine on Leith.Those girls, by the way, were superb. Multi-talented; great musicians and singers with their own solo spot here and there while Rod had a costume change. They sang I'm So Excited (The Pointer Sisters?) and Lady Marmalade. To a crowd that no doubt remembered the 80's. And most looked like they were paying for it
