Rod Stewart Reveals How Scared He Was At His First US Show
Rod Stewart reveals the fear he had before his first U.S. show back in 1968

. Here's the latest from RTT Music News.
Legendary British singer-songwriter Rod Stewart has recalled how frightened he was before his first U.S. show in a new episode of the "How to Wow" podcast.
In February 1967, Stewart joined the Jeff Beck Group, guitarist Jeff Beck's new post-Yardbirds venture, as vocalist and sometime songwriter.
During their first American show in 1968, Stewart says he hid behind the Grateful Dead's wall of amplifiers for fear of being branded a "fake" by the audience.
"I was so nervous," he said of the show. "I always tried to sound like Sam Cooke, sound like a black singer, all my life. I thought, 'I'm gonna be found out - there's gonna be lots of black people sitting there, going, 'Fake! You're a fake!'"
"Of course, it was a load of hippies when I eventually came from behind the rack of amps," Stewart added. "Jeff said, 'Come on, you can come out now!' And it was just a load of hippies!"
Stewart claims that his band had blown the Grateful Dead away during the show.
"America had never seen anything like this - me singing, Jeff playing guitar and Ronnie [Wood] playing bass, and Micky Waller on the drums and Nicky Hopkins on piano. What a lineup! They'd never seen Chicago blues being given back to them, fed back to them," Stewart said.
He added, "This was before Led Zeppelin - of course, the [Rolling] Stones were big then - but this was us… and they'd never seen anything like it, especially a couple of tarts like me and Woody, all dressed up in lurex [and] high bouffant hair."
