Rod Stewart stood under the big open sky at Hyde Park and sang his heart out with a song called “I Was Only Joking.” Next to him was his friend Jim Cregan, a super talented guitar player, who made his guitar sound soft and sad, like it was crying.
Rod’s voice was rough from all his years of singing, but it was full of big feelings. When he sang, it didn’t feel like just a song—it felt like he was telling a true story about being sorry for things he did a long time ago. The words were about mistakes and memories, and you could hear how much they meant to him. Thousands of people were watching, and they all stood super quiet, listening closely. It was like they could feel the same sadness and wishes to fix old wrongs.
Jim’s guitar played along so gently, adding little sounds that made you think of the past. It was like the music was saying, “Some things you feel sorry about never really go away.” The air felt heavy with old stories and a mix of happy and sad, and nobody wanted to make a sound because it was such a special moment.
This wasn’t just a regular show. It was like Rod and Jim were sharing something real and deep with everyone. When it was over, the crowd felt different—like they’d been part of something big and true that they’d never forget.
