They say the only predictable things are death and taxes and concerts by veteran rock acts teaming up to fill arenas during a recession.

But this neither deadly nor taxing Heart and Soul Tour pairing Rod Stewart and Stevie Nicks which arrived here on tax return weekend, playing US Airways Center Friday, raised lots of preliminary questions.

Which one would be the soul? Sure, Rod has covered a lot of Sam Cooke over the centuries, but Stevie has an equal number of songs about leaving her body. Metaphysically speaking, the soul should be her.

How much time would they actually spend onstage together?

Would they only sing songs they've recorded as duets with other veteran rock acts? They could do a whole set of those alone!

Who would sport more scarves?

And would they sit together on a piano bench and bang out "Heart and Soul," the song most amateur pianists insist on playing?

You say no, but if Rod is serious about this American Songbook thing, he's gotta get around to even that chestnut eventually.

(Review) Phoenix, AZ - Rod Stewart and Stevie Nicks US Airways

Phoenix Concert Review: Stevie Nicks and Rod Stewart–Apr. 15, 2011, US Airways

If you ask me who I like better, Stevie or Rod—it really is a tossup. Yes, they are both known for a raspy style of singing, both have been around for some 30 years making truly legendary music and both artist’s records and CDs fill my music collection – but there is just one thing that makes it impossible to choose—they are both amazingly and uniquely talented--unique being the key word…but more on that in a moment.

A bill with two such superstars is always a big draw, and so it was not a surprise to see a very full, near sell-out crowd at last night’s show. Stevie came on first almost exactly on time, which I think left a good chuck of the crowd stuffed in the tunnels trying to get in—but when you have two full sets from two mega-artist’s you need to get started. She opened with “Stand Back,” and I was pleased to hear a strong voice in top form from Stevie. “Outside the Rain,” was followed by the amazing Fleetwood Mac tune she performed beautifully, “Dreams.”
