Rod Stewart: Oo La La
Keith Altham, NME, 31 March 1973
I AM DEATH. Huddled in my anorak. Alone and palely loitering in the stalls of the empty Rainbow Theatre. I am miserable with cold in a situation most rock fans would give their back teeth to be in awaiting an audience with Rod Stewart and a Faces rehearsal.
