December 1972: "Gallery" magazine goes backstage with the Faces and a good time was had by all. Just another mad day in the life of the Faces, one of the greatest rock and roll bands that ever walked the earth.
It would be a nice addition if somehow the name of the songs could be featured in the video or description. I drove myself crazy looking for Cindy incidentally which is the first song playing. Amazing song! Great video as well. It's started me off on a journey of diving into this bands discography as well as rods.
Cheeky lads, "That Beano band's got nuthin" on us". Faces were full of talent and joyfully played off each other. Look at their faces. Man, I wish I'd been there at this gig. They were at their best in smaller venues where they could play directly to faces in a rowdy crowd. They deserve credit for pioneering Hard Rock. That is, bass and drums right up front with the guitar, keys and vocal. Listen to Ronnie Lane's bass lines... they were more expressive, almost like a lead guitar. Kenney's playin jungle percussion. Faces and Cream each pioneered bringing drums & bass up front. But Faces never went big. Pity they missed the fame and big money of arena audiences. But they were genuine and one of my top three... or six, or seven... favorite rock bands. -Doug Pratt, Atlanta, Georgia, USA (former Mancunian).
It seems as though all of the english rockers lived hard lives, but they never die, they just keep going and going. Rod, mick, keith, ron wood, pete townsend, roger daltry.
I knew Mac was short, but Ron Wood? Wasn't the "Small" part of the name dropped because Ron and Rod were taller than the original trio? 5'9" and 5'10", say the biogs.
