Hi Miss Wharton. I can't work out how to PM people on here. I've used this video, mixed the sound with the offiicial Birthday Bash CD audio, and pieced it together with another 3 videos to make up the last 4 songs of the gig. I hope you don't mind me doing it, and I'm waiting for permission from the band for using their audio. Here's the link. Any problems and I'll take it down. All the best. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TkrYzK2NiCY.html
I saw quite a few FACES gigs starting at Mayfair 1971 where I slipped in round the back (too young) that was a Fantastic night too, revolving stage .(Led Zep played their 1st ever gig there 1969 )Long gone Mayfair sadly .Then City Hall 72, ,Locarno 73 ,N/cle Odeon Dec 73 and Dec 74 (2 nights ) then they broke up and Rod solo, saw his 1st 4 nights at City Hall Dec 76 , with his new band and every Toon show since bar 3 weeks ago ,Aslo saw the reunion at Hurtwood Park sept 2015 for a cancer charity show with Ronnie Wood , Kenney Jones and Rod only 3 left of the original Faces sadly Ronnie Lane and Ian Mclagen passed on .Saw Mac at the Cluny in N/cle few yrs ago on his own with small backing band just 100 or so there ... memories!!
Saw Him at Brighton /Sussex Cricket ground 3 nights later than Toon .Slick show these days saw him sing this Dec 1972 City Hall N/cle with Faces brilliant night then literally brought the house down then again Locarno Sunderland April 73 one of Ronnie Lane's last gigs another brilliant night .They were still playing small ballrooms even then whilst playing Madison Sq Gdns N York same era ! Has to be a Faces reunion before they all leave the room for good? only 2 sets of Fingers to one throat better than nothing?
I was born in 1982, so unfortunately completely missed The Faces, however my mum was at both the City Hall and Locarno shows - the Locarno site (now a huge Tesco) is just up the road to where I live. I was secretly hoping that Ron Wood would've made an appearance at this show a few weeks ago - not realising he was touring with the Stones in the US! Ha! I would love to see the remaining Faces do one last show!
Hi there! I’m doing an article for SR News (sr-news.com) about independent music venues in the North East. Would it be possible for me to use this video for the article? Full credit will be given to you for the video do you choose to give permission to use it. Thank you! Xx
