Imagine a time when every single rock band was just about as good as this. The Stones, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, The Who, Rory Gallagher, Terry Reid, Bowie, Floyd... the list goes on forever. Every song on the records were great and even AM radio was a joy... it's true. I was 12 in 1971 and it was an amazing time to be a kid who loved music.
There are still a lot of great bands out there. You just won't hear them on the radio. Local clubs/bars/venues have some great young talented and hungry bands. It just is not marketed on a huge scale .
Rock S, I remember watching this when first broadcast on the BBC,I was a carefree 11yrd,I know things never stay the same but well I just wish it hadn't changed soo much.All the best
I’m planning on finding a way to live in the ‘70’s and ‘80’s in some kind of infinite loop. Was a truly great time to be young and alive..pity I didn’t know quite just how much back then. At least there’s RU-vid.
@@kbraker510 It's a Zemaitis. Ron Wood's guitar with the metal front is a Zemaitis, too, although the Plexiglas guitar he's using here is a Dan Armstrong.
The Faces are an incredible group with amazing music 🎶 🎵. Rod Stewart and the Faces brought a different style and approach to their musical talents 🎉🎉. I'm so blessed to have grown up with this type of amazing music 🎉🎉. They sure don't make rock and roll like this anymore 🎉🎉
I keep coming back to remind myself how good they were. A bar band par excellence. You can practically smell the stale beer and cigarette smoke. Oh, Rod Stewart became a great pop star and he earned it. But for my money, this is the way to hear him, with a brilliant band of working class lads behind him, rockin' for all they're worth. Long live The Faces.
Really 64-79 or so. But in the early part of the period, you could play anything that you wanted. Look at the lineup at Monterey. Even as late as Woodstock. After that, htings got fragmented/ IN 1969, Sly was on the same stage as The Who. By 1975, P-Funk shoudl have been on the same stage as say Rush because they were both freaky prog bands, but no.
@@joem5903 True by then the business men took over and they separated band by genre because of marketing. So a band like p funk could not perform on the same festival with rush.
@@bentleycoupe8788 ironic that some of those same executives may have signed a lot of those vans because they didn’t know what else to do. They just knew that they had to jump on the new movement.
There were so many great bands during this era you could almost take them for granted. Looking at this live rendition of this classic song makes me realize just how amazing it was to live through it.
I was very fortunate to see the Faces live in 1971 at Nottingham University. A night to remember - they carried on playing even after the lights went on. When they switched off the power supply to the stage, they carried on acoustically. They were having so much fun playing and who were we to complain?
The bass player and founder of the band, Ronnie Lane. Small Faces, The Faces, Ronnie Lane's Slim Chance, Mahoney's Last Stand album with Ron Wood, Rough Trade album with Pete Townshend....the guy's whole catalogue of music is brilliant and he's criminally underrated. Cheers
@@snit22yes! i saw that too! and Lane quite calmly ducking out of the way -- i get the impression that he and Wood were both very well practiced at avoiding that mike stand!
Dan, you’re spot on. Stewart and Marriott both. I was born 1960, took punk, two tone, indie etc. Some great rock music, but Stewart & Marriott in their prime - oh lord, stunning
I’m 38, I remember my mum on the cassette tape in her Ford Escort it was Faces, Rolling Stones and some bay city rollers, I used to sit in amazement at the songs and learned them all. Singing along from journey to journey, good times.
Wow! Rod with an actual awesome stage presence! This is why we fell in love with Rod Stewart to begin with! My all time favorite song. Faces was really his gig.
Had the pleasure of hanging out for a few minutes after the Philly’72 Spectrum concert with Rod at the Marriott Hotel on City Line on the outskirts of West Philly. Long Story. A total gentleman!
You’re right. I look at it like the renaissance of truly great music, just like poetry, painting, and classical music had its day. Now all of it’s dead, soulless reproductions. It will never attain the magic again. You could get the best singers and musicians today to play this song but it still won’t capture the magic.
Loved the 60s generation change from the Booted&Suited to everything pascal , Jeans, Hair And The Music , Bob Dylan , Stones, John Lennon, Donovan, joe cocker, James Taylor, led z etc.
Seeing some of these bands perform on video really makes me wish I could go back and re-live the 70s. It was a great decade in general, and most notably, for music.
Greasy funky rock and soul none of today’s so called bands can touch. The Faces, Foghat, Robin Trower, Procol Harum, Humble Pie, Savoy Brown were my favorite bands of that era. I still play them regularly.
@@commanderscroob and isn't it nice that now you can put all your favorite songs into an iTunes library and skip the songs you don't like? when i play compilations of my favorite songs i lose track of time.
That's right you're correct Timeless they had a thousand more hits than the stones ever deserved the stones couldn't freaking tie their shoelaces on a good day after Mick Taylor left
When this song plays on the radio while I'm driving and getting close to my destination, I pass it by so I can drive a while longer listening to this truly great rock song.
Man! What a song!! I remember hearing this when I was in the sixth grade in 1971. I had a crush on a girl named Rena. I used to change the lyrics from Rita to Rena. 10 years old at that time. One month shy of being 63 and this song is just as awesome as it was back in the day.
My favorite Rod Stewart song by far. It's raw, gritty, sexy, & full of energy. There's a few comments below saying it's a little loose & sloppy. Yeah, in the best way. I'd hate to see a band perform to a metronome, tight & rigid. Music has to flow & breathe. Very well rehearsed song & band. All great musicians on that stage...
I've always been a big Faces fan. Ohh la la is one of my favorite albums. 👏👍 See them once playing in Jersey City Roosevelt stadium on the school's out bill with Alice Cooper, and the James gang great show. ☮️🤘
Could easily have had as big impact (or bigger) as a live show for decades like the Stones with this lineup. Regrettably, Rod decided to go the Elvis route as a celeb, lounge act. Still a great voice, but abandoned his edgy creativity.
@Zeljko Trifunovic none of them died from drugs though,steve Marriott died in a house fire,ronnie lane had m.s and suffered for years and ian mclagan died of a stroke
Awesome bunch of fellas! And how awesome to see Ronnie Wood doing something besides the Rolling Stones! Hearing how good these kids were doing this song live is a kick, because I've become so used to hearing it for 50 years that I sometimes take the song for granted. Hearing this, and seeing the band performing it puts it in a whole new light for me now. And how about the drum breaks at the end? Pretty cool hearing a live version, and how good he was!
One of the good things about being as old as I am (62) is growing up with great music like this. One of the bad things is that most of the cops who would let me off with a warning for driving too fast because I had music like this blaring on the radio have retired.
I graduated from high school in 1971; this is music I grew up with. Saw them in concert in 1971 Stockton, CA with Fog Hat as the opening band. Good stuff!
Woody's dirty guitar sounds are fantastic, and now he is part of that weaving duo in another band. Loved the Faces in the 70's and they still sound better than most bands around at the moment. Great Rock n Roll never dies.
I'm 56 years old now and i still remember hearing this song as clear as day when i first heard it back in 1971 when i was 4 going on 5 years old. Now that's what i call timeless appeal.
I saw Rod Stewart, his daughter, and some very attractive talented girls that preformed with him at New Orleans Jazz Fest almost two years ago and he preformed and sang like he did when he was as young as he is in this video. It was an amazing show, never a dull moment or a bad note, total perfection and a class act performance.
I watch this every few months. It's so damn good. Lots of great comments here but FFS Kenney Jones lays such a groovy foundation here and I haven't seen it said yet! Also love Ronnie queuing the change at the end, and Ronnie and Rod looking like they are having the best day at the office imaginable. Bilss.
On the album he uses his ‘Stay With Me’ Zemetis, with a built in treble booster, into a HiWatt. Here he seems to be using his Ampeg Dan Armstrong plexiglass into a small combo, possibly an Ampeg. Sounds like a treble booster is also used, although I don’t see a rangemaster on top on the amp. Could be a Dan Armstrong Red Ranger somewhere near the amp, or maybe built in?
@Thomas Bell I remember when the New Barbarians played in my city, Milwaukee, in 1980. There were supposed to be "special guests" but nobody special came so a riot ensued.
@@porkchop3328 late here . But that dude had just about every chick throwing themselves at him. That cat was having 4some and 5some. Every night. And he was the only dude in the room. Some guys have all the luck. He was happy. He got his piece. She thought that she was letting him down. He went back to the party. With a big 😁 on his face.
Today's so called "music"(sic)..no matter how sophisticated their sound man is can't touch a candle to good old "fuzzed up loud & live" R&R like this....
@@davedzone What exactly isn't acoustic? I know that 'Stay With Me' itself isn't acoustic but I was talking about Rod Stewart's albums 'Gasoline Alley' and Every Picture Tells a Story'. I was very clear about that in my post
@@joelmalone7922 all the electric guitars on the songs would make it not acoustic. Even on Maggie may. Hammond organ, electric guitar and bass. Acoustic means acoustic only. Gasoline Alley is closer as it has no electric guitars listed.
@@davedzone Have you ever listened to Mandolin Wind, A Reason to Believe, Lady Day, Cut Across Shorty, Gasoline Alley etc. Sure they may have been recorded using pick-ups connected but they're acoustic guitars. Call Ron Wood, Rod Stewart and ask them yourself.
This song was pretty modern sounding for 1971. My dad's friend played this Faces stuff from a pre-mix studio cut edition he aquired, on a really high end Telefunken reel to reel. They sounded BIG in his old wooden house with wood floors and an 12 foot ceilings. Fantastic band and sound for so long ago with bare minimum "tools". My dad and his friend are still around rocking at 76 years young.
I don't know if Ronnie gets enough credit for his contribution to the sound of the Stones but you can really hear what he brings to the table here. Great side man for Rod.
This came out as I got back to "the world" from Nam. That's f'n rock, and roll! A nod's as good as a wink...to a blind horse. The best that Rod ever was.
@@stephenzanichkowsky4434 - Yep, early on the Dan Armstrong plexi was his go-to slide guitar. 1975ish he picked up a Tony Zemaitis black disk front and that became the "Stay With Me guitar."
