Allentown’s PPL Center stage was in a high-gloss spectacle with a long set of stairs that set a sophisticated mood for Rod Stewart’s final tour, “One More Time.”

Along with many rock ‘n roll legends from the 1960s and ‘70s, Stewart is an octogenarian, now in his 81st year and performing since 1961.

The March 14 concert started with Stewart’s rousing cover of Robert Palmer’s “Addicted to Love,” including the female vocalists surrounding him similar to the famous Robert Palmer MTV video.

“Forever Young” was featured as an ode to Stewart’s Scottish upbringing. An end-to-end wall of digital displays backed up the visuals with a well-orchestrated flurry of visuals of the past mixed into scenes of the live performance.

Stewart and his six female backup musicians-vocalists had three outfit changes throughout the ample 23-song set list without an intermission.

The songs included “Ooh La La” from Stewart’s early days with the band Faces.

The iconic ‘80s’ tune “Hot Legs” is ever a highlight.

A bluesy cover of Etta James’ “I’d Rather Go Blind” was performed.

Stewart gave the females the stage for a high-energy special feature of Chaka Khan’s “I’m Every Woman.”

Stewart returned to the stage and pulled back the tempo so he could sing “Mandolin Wind” as he introduced it as highly-requested in recent years.

Next up, he said, “Here’s a song I recorded with the late Jeff Beck.” With “People Get Ready,” Stewart paid homage with a powerful screen display to the Civil Rights movement mentioning he wouldn’t be who he became without the voices of the black musicians early on.

The show wound down with the hit song “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy?,” leading into the encore, a cover of the O’Jays’ “Love Train.”

Overall, the concert left Baby Boomers and many in the next generations nostalgic and surely singing some of the songs on their way back home.
