Ron Wood jams harder on this, as an old geezer, than Jagger ever allowed him to in over 40 years with the Stones. Rod has always been one of the greatest rock front men.
Saw Rod Stewart and Faces around 1971 or so at Clemson SC right after Every Picture Tells a Story came out. This is by far the best song on that album, although Rod was really promoting the pop hit Maggie Mae. I really enjoyed Faces. They really put on a great concert that night! Will always remember that concert. Rod and Faces were best then. Wasn't really impressed when Rod went disco but I guess you do what ya gotta do, huh! This video brings him back to what I remember him by in the early 70s. Another great version of this song is by Rare Earth! Check that one out too. It's pretty good, also from the 70s.
Love the Faces, love the song, but watch this then watch any version from 30+ years ago. Still love watching it, but oh man were they a beast in the day. None of them came close to what they did together in the faces. They were tight!
There are some great boot CD's out there with early Faces recording, musically brilliant long improvised solos that are saw raw they were just held together with musical brilliance. They turn up on ebay in many different names, check the set lists and venues. Cheers Rob
Stunning. THEE perfect band. One question though. Anyone know why there are two bass players? And who is the guy on the left of the screen most of the time?
This song was by the great Motown band Rare Earth and Peter Rivera was helluva lot better as was the band too. Rivera, singer and drummer, set the standard for this song and others. Nice try Faces and Rod.
