Rod Stewart’s live unplugged performance of “Have I Told You Lately” is a heartfelt classic that continues to touch audiences with its raw emotion and timeless beauty. Recorded during his iconic MTV Unplugged session in 1993, the setting was cozy and intimate, with soft lighting and warm tones that created a relaxed, romantic mood. Rod, dressed in a white shirt and vest, stood close to the microphone, his raspy voice rich with feeling as he delivered each lyric with sincerity.
The gentle acoustic guitar, subtle piano notes, and soft strings perfectly supported his voice, making the song feel personal and tender. Behind him, a small band of talented musicians, including longtime collaborator Ronnie Wood on guitar, added warmth and familiarity to the performance.
The audience sat quietly, captivated by the quiet power of the moment. Every smile, every soft glance from Rod showed his deep connection to the song. As he sang the final lines, “Have I told you lately that I love you,” the room filled with soft applause, and Rod gave a grateful nod. It was more than a performance—it was a timeless expression of love, stripped down to its purest form.
