Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

This low-key 1993 live retrospective marked something of a return to form for Rod the Mod, who for many years had more or less abdicated his position as a performer of consequence to pursue a more frivolous pop-star persona. With his former Faces bandmate Ron Wood in tow, Stewart revisits hits like "Hot Legs", "Tonight's the Night", and "Maggie May"--and more adventurous choices like Curtis Mayfield's "People Get Ready" and Tom Waits's "Tom Traubert's Blues"--with an effortless grace and a renewed expressiveness that makes Unplugged ... And Seated a consistent pleasure. --Scott Schinder

CD Description

By the time MTV got around to taping an Unplugged special with Rod Stewart, the singing soccer fanatic had spent most of the '80s and early '90s churning out albums full of glossypop songs. UNPLUGGED...AND SEATED found Stewart going back to his earlier material where soul, folk and rock blended together into something special. Stewart made these chestnuts more authentic by reuniting with old mate Ronnie Wood. Backed by a string section, vocalists, and a couple of pianos, Stewart dug deep into his catalogue for folk-flavoured favourites such as "Handbags And Gladrags", "Mandolin Wind" and "Cut Across Shorty".
Rod the Mod kept the randiness factor present by including "Hot Legs" and "Tonight's The Night" inthis set, along with covers of some of his favourite songwriters including Cat Stevens ("The First Cut Is The Deepest"), Tim Hardin ("Reason To Believe") and Van Morrison ("Have ITold You Lately"). Playing with Wood, Stewart sounds invigorated, and sturdy warhorses such as "Every Picture Tells A Story" and "Stay With Me" take on new legs.

4.0 out of 5 stars Vintage Rod Stewart, it takes me back to my teenage years!!, 21 May 2001
By A Customer
I had almost forgotten my love for Rod Stewarts music until I recently watched a documentary about his life. I so much enjoyed listening to the old songs such as Reason to Believe and Maggie May that I felt I should get a compliation album. I was a great fan in my early teens, but like many fans I lost interest after the days with the Faces. It was the range of classic early Rod Stewart and Faces materials that appealed to me with this album and the performance with Ronnie Wood gives it an added dimension. I was not disappointed. The arrangements are clearly different with the album being 'unplugged', but the songs are every bit as good as I remembered and Rod's voice is just unique. I particulary like the old Faces songs, Mandolin Wind, Hand Bags and Gladrags, Stay With Me, as well as the classics Maggie May and Reason to Believe. If you are an old Rod Stewart or Faces fan this is a good trip down memory lane.

5.0 out of 5 stars Raw and Rampant, 9 July 2004
By A. R. Lattimore "nunclenan" (Knutsford, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have recently got back into Rod after an absense of some 20 years! Forgot just how good his voice is. Like other reviewers I found the opening couple of tracks poor on the vocal side - almost like he was afraid to let rip in case his voice gave out. As soon as his old mucker Ron Wood appears the whole concert is tranformed. You forget just how hard the muscians have to work without "electricity" and the result is a far more intense experience for all concerned. The highlights? Cut Across Shorty; Mandolin Wind; Stay With Me & Reason To Believe. Would I recommend it? Yes I would, music at is purest and best. None of your modern Boy Band manufactured twaddle.

4.0 out of 5 stars 4½ stars. Stewart's best record of the 90s, 7 Oct 2003
By Docendo Discimus (Vita scholae) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
This excellent album has all the grit and feeling of Stewart's best early-70s LPs.

Accompanied by a great combo which includes former bandmate Ronnie Wood, Stewart returns to the acoustic rock n' roll and folk that marked his greatest recordings, and even if "Unplugged" can't quite match "Gasoline Alley" or the sublime "Every Picture Tells A Story", it's really amazing how close it comes at times.

Rod Stewart sounds fine, if a little bit ragged at first, and the set opens with a wonderfully tough acoustic rendition of the sleazy rocker "Hot Legs", and the unplugged versions of the Faces' only hit, "Stay With Me", and Sam Cooke's "Having A Party" are equally superb.

"The First Cut Is The Deepest" is too saccharine for my taste, and "People Get Ready" never gets off the ground, but everything else is good, and most of it is great, particularly the swinging blues "Highgate Shuffle", the country-rock of "Cut Across Shorty", the melancholy "Handbands And Gladrags", and the classic "Maggie May".

Great sound, great songs, great arrangements and a lot of feeling.
Highly recommended.
