Rod Stewart

The live recording of "Hot Legs" from the concert at the Royal Albert Hall on January 1, 2004, reflects a pivotal moment in Rod Stewart's career during the early 2000s, marked by a return to his rock roots after years of exploring various musical styles. Prior to this live performance, Stewart released the album *It Had to Be You: The Great American Songbook* in 2002, which focused on standards from the American songbook. The 2004 concert, part of his *One Night Only!* series, showcased not only his enduring appeal but also his ability to connect with audiences through both classic hits and newer interpretations. An interesting fact about Stewart during this period is that he seamlessly blended his rock and pop influences with a more vintage sound, appealing to a diverse fan base that spanned multiple generations.
