OLD = It took 20 years to learn to walk, talk, live & laugh...just imagine what you can accomplish between 20-40 yrs old? Why do you think time is flying? You need to re-think what time has occured and realize that if it took all that time to grow into an adult (0-20) then just think what u can do between 30-50 or 50-70. AGE is a NUMBER! Just ask ROD!
@MrBobbysee - It is probably not on his greatest hits because he was more or less "underground" at that time. He got all "poppy" and popular with his songs that more or less appealed to more mainstream folks.
Sorry but Gasoline Alley has been FORECLOSED by the banks ! ;-) BTW, do I hear some 'Flaminco' style on one of these guitars or is that being done with a mandolin ?
My dad made me a Rod Stewart mix CD a couple years ago. He said, "just trust me, he used to make some really good music." I gave it a chance and man was he right.
One of the greatest songs ever recorded. I used to listen to it on my bedside radio - WLS in Chicago, I believe. Then I got the album and wore it out. Good memories...
Came home from The Nam in Nov 1970, got a great job, moved down to Redondo Beach, California and had the greatest parties within 20 miles of the Pacific Ocean and did it for years. THIS album played so many times that it still seems to run thru my head ~ more than 40 years later. What puzzles me is how TEN people could hit that thumbs down icon on this all-time Stewart great?? For me ~ this song helped clear many bad bad memories of that living hell called Vietnam. Thanks Rod, I needed that!
@MrRonnieG I am 30 years old and used to wince when my mother would play rod stewart. The older I grew the more I came to appreciate Stewart. I still think of the first time I heard this song. I was 29, had borrowed her iPOD and gone for my daily run. The longing and sorrow in this haunting song broke my heart. I had just been divorced and had spent the last year poisoning myself and running from life. Something in this song chills me and pulls me back to better days. Painful and beautiful.
Rod was Fanfriggintastic...went to see him in late 60's, Music Hall in Boston...Thumbed t Boston with my sister to see him at the Miller High Life Outdoor Concert Series in early 70'a. Kinda scary for people got somewhat rowdy and for a while thought this what be what it feels like in a stampede...He was the GREATEST then..He ane his musicians. Unfortunately he kind of sold out for a while..Hot Legs and that crap..But I think he's coming back to his true talented self now.Go Rod!
I first heard this song on a progressive rock station here in Pittsburgh, Pa back in 1971; AM station mind you! LOL From that time forward I was hooked not only with the station, but, with Rod Stewart's musicianship period. With the advent of disco he lost my following. Fortunately for Rod, he did not get pigeon holed like most artists had by jumping on the dicso band wagon.
This song really reminds me of and makes me want to be back at the house i lived at when i was younger. So much nostalgia. When i'm dead will someone please take me back, carry me back to the gasoline alley where i started from.
@JSTONE9352 oh yah, your right!!! i never saw it but i heard about it. but did it have a dog in it? i can't remember now. i know all the words to roger millers trailers for sale or rent, does that count for anything?? :)

This song has got the lot in string instrumental variations , just listen from 1:30 , acoustic guitar , lead guitar , mandolin . its a masterpiece !!.!!!!!!. , this song will fit in to any video or film clip , But come to think of it it did , a film with jenny aggetter , lost in the Australian outback ,
i have loved him ever since i was little, me and my family. I am so EXCITED i am seeing him and stevie 2mrw. this will be the greatest concert ever!!!
@EmpressOfWyoming58 pink spandex? ok i don' t even want to know. now i have to go find a song he sang with somebody like the yardbirds, but i cant remember. it's called "walk me out in the morning dew".
@william3231954 oh, thanx william! humm, my son's middle name is william. is that your phone number you've got there? just wondering. anyway i gotta go, i promised somebody i would go drink a beer and listen to some creedence clearwater rivival. :)
@jsilence418 Or : ran out of ideas. When an artist gets to this stage, I call it it their Rod-Stewert-Disco-Phase. I think Led Zepplelin hit it with Physical Graffiti and Elton hit it with Island Girl.
Uh, I don't suppose by "Gasoline Alley," he is referring to the Indianapolis Speedway..and no, the so called music radio stations don't play this song anymore or anything like it.
GOD 46 and feeling old, I am 52 and feeling it... Come on Rods still rocking and so should we,at least we were around when this master piece was released
if you love this song check out the acapella version rod singing in a old tower type block courtyard ?see the old doll on the balcony bet she doesnt realise what she was witnessing class !!
Ah the memories come flooding back. Over and over we would play these records and wonder today, what happened to the music and artistry of years past.
my older brother jimmy played this one and all rods songs in the 60s and70s when i was young and i thot he was crap, now i,am one of rods biggest fans!
Rod's early solo work and The Faces output was absolute class. Not really much a fan of his later work (the leopard skin pants just didn't do it for me, ha ha). Cheers for posting, excellent track.
Used to listen to this in Robbie Ducros' place in Arabi... Ivy Robbie, and his big brother John Ducros on KAAY Little Rock Arkansas....Beaker Street in very early 70s... Those were special days!!!
I first heard this song when I was 12, and never forgot it. It's not only Rod crying to go back home, it's like the guitars are crying too. Incredible song.
Oh, I just love the pics. There is something very comforting about old gas stations.
I wish Rod and Ronnie would do a tour together again. This song made Rod famous - a traditional sound. Easy to love forever. We are all a little Brit.
I think we got way off on a tangent of a tangent . Point trying to be made is one of music not word play.. This effort by Mr. Steward shows a transition, a sequey from the sixties into the seventies-a wonderful diddy. You can see reflections of songs already popular and premonitions of songs yet to be writ. I refuse to argue when decades begin; either you know this or you don't, your foul language, notwithstanding. It's really not a point of opinion or logic.
The word hell is foul language? What are you a Mormon? I am illogical? You are the only person I know that contends a decade starts in 1961 or 1971 now that is just plain stupid. As for the music I don't see a transition, the sound of Gasoline Alley is just a continuation from the Rod Stewart album to Every Picture Tells A Story. A point can be made that the sound of the 60s continued well into the 70s look at Who's Next, Morrison Hotel, LA Woman they were all released in the 70s.
@truegrit999 what the hell are you talking about, the 1960s are from 1960 to 1969, if you follow your weird logic why don't you say if you count 2 to 11, you don't count 0 or 1 so 1970 is the ninth year of the sixties and 1971 is the tenth year of the sixties which is of course total nonsense just as what you wrote. The first year of the 1960s was 1960 and the tenth or last year of the 1960s was 1969 end of story...oh yeah this song rocks!!!
many photos of things that won't last- not much more intelligence created the instruments in this song-- the instruments last as well today and perform as well. the instruments don't loose value - but the buildings and real estate do--- because the buildings and real estate will always belong to the rich.
It feels like just yesterday I was listening to this song on my older sister bed. Life is short, this year I will turn 46 and I lost to good friends within a months time this year. RIP
I can understand why Rod had to continuously change his style--that's how he's managed to stay in the game as long as he has. Having said that, this is still my favorite Rod tune. Probably always will be.
In an interview, Rod says he was talking backstage once with a fan and she said she had to leave or her mom would accuse her of hanging out down at "Gasoline Alley". He loved the phrase and used it in this Faces song. Don't know if it's true, but makes a good story.
brilliant timeless classic, rods stewart is fantastic god even more fierce than Zeus himself......... Seriously by's, it's music, nothing to get all hokey and horney about, enjoy it if you like it and hate if you don't, but the cheesy comments are too much to handle
This is great - a look back at vintage gas stations and rustic structures of days gone by. Takes me back to memories if my grandpa's farm, the old red tractor, the places where my parents grew up. Wow... Thanks for putting this together and sharing!

many photos of things that won't last- not much more intelligence created the instruments in this song-- the instruments last as well today and perform as well. the instruments don't loose value - but the buildings and real estate do--- because the buildings and real estate will always belong to the rich.

It feels like just yesterday I was listening to this song on my older sister bed. Life is short, this year I will turn 46 and I lost to good friends within a months time this year. RIP

I still think this is the best Rod Sewart stuff. He did do many very good written by my old pal Pete Sears.
My only observation is that Rod is Scottish.The photos should be scenes of the UK.instead of the US.

I can understand why Rod had to continuously change his style--that's how he's managed to stay in the game as long as he has. Having said that, this is still my favorite Rod tune. Probably always will be.

In an interview, Rod says he was talking backstage once with a fan and she said she had to leave or her mom would accuse her of hanging out down at "Gasoline Alley". He loved the phrase and used it in this Faces song. Don't know if it's true, but makes a good story.

brilliant timeless classic, rods stewart is fantastic god even more fierce than Zeus himself......... Seriously by's, it's music, nothing to get all hokey and horney about, enjoy it if you like it and hate if you don't, but the cheesy comments are too much to handle

Too bad someone convinced Rod Stewart to become a pop star and stop being a rock and roller. In the early 70's his music still mattered.

This is great - a look back at vintage gas stations and rustic structures of days gone by. Takes me back to memories if my grandpa's farm, the old red tractor, the places where my parents grew up. Wow... Thanks for putting this together and sharing!

I'm wondering if this was inspired by Frank King's famous comic strip of the same name.
