There were lots of enjoyable sing-alongs with the audience, but too few moments where the famed vocalist dug deep into his music rather than coasted
At least a few rock and pop-music legends have struggled with writer’s block as they try to come up with new songs.During his Saturday concert at San Diego’s North Island Credit Union Amphitheatre, the veteran vocal star did more than just pay lip service to a timely cause.
Delivered with well-oiled precision by Stewart and his six-woman, six-man band, the sleek show opened with a crisp version of Robert Palmer’s “Addicted to Love.” It concluded 110 minutes later with “Stay With Me,” the rollicking 1971 song Stewart co-wrote and recorded when he fronted the band The Faces.
Likewise, the bonhomie Stewart demonstrates on stage remains as appealing as ever. He treated his listeners like they were — if not old friends — more than casual or one-time acquaintances. Witness his version of the 1967 Etta James blues gem, “I’d Rather Go Blind.” Stewart did it as a tribute to recently deceased Fleetwood Mac member Christine McVie’s 1969 version with the group Chicken Shack. “A useless name for a band!” he quipped.
And his late-show vocal duet with Becca Kotte on the 1966 Motown Marvin Gaye/Kim Weston chestnut, “It Takes Two” — which Stewart and Tina Turner covered in 1991 — never got out of first gear. As a tribute to Turner, who died in May, it fell short of the mark.
