Rod the Mod in Auckland

Wow! Our supposedly last minute, not very good seats were so near the stage we could almost touch him. Not that Tom was keen to but Lynn and Jan were eager and ready! At times he seemed to be singing just to the frenzied females in our group of 3, then we realised that Penny Lancaster was sitting just below us. Oh well................!

We didn't manage to catch a signed football unfortunately. That was made up for by him singing all of his greats hits in that fantastic 63 year old raspy voice. Yet again we knew all the words of every song which is surprising when we can't remember our phone number most days. Anyway, we sang along with the best of them ( all 8,000 or so in fact) and bopped til we dropped. Champagne moments? That sexy bum and the way he wiggles it (Lynn and Jan, not Tom), the long blond hair of PL (Tom, not Lynn and Jan), the incredible voices of the 3 backing singers and Rod the Mod as a first class performer (all of us). Best songs? Difficult to choose but Downtown Train, Father and Son and This Old Heart of Mine were high on the list.

"If you think I'm sexy...............come on sugar let me know". Yes Rod, you are sexy! (Lynn and Jan xx)
