The Faces With Keith Richards performing - id rather go blind . ronnie wood -guitar , keith richards - guitar , rod stewart - vocals , kenny jones - drums , ian mclagan - keyboards ,tetsu yamauchi - bass
I wanted to watch this just to see the Faces play with Keith Richards, but was blown away at how good it actually was. Rod Stewart is a great soul and blues singer, and Ron Wood plays with so much feeling. Happily in 2021 all three are still playing to audiences.
Not bad. Rod has a soulful voice, that's for sure. They are connecting with something deep. I am not sure Rod needed to twirl the mike stand around like a baton...the song stands on its own merit for being great. The shtick almost detracts but since it's Rod, he can get away with it. Keith looks the part, Ronnie looks a little affected with his grimacing but plays some soulfully awesome notes.
Just saw Rod in Cincy on July 12 2022...at 73 still puts on one hell of a show and despite a cold, he still can rock the crowd or give goosebumps. He can literally sing anything and make it sound great!!!
@@dianeward5405 sorry I think Rod’s twirling of his mic stand was impressive as hell. The butt shots I could totally do w/o Lol And Ronnie’s grimacing is just his style- as w/many guitar geniuses :)
Everyone here gives the credits to Keith and Ron, but it would have been nothing without the amazing Hammond B3 accompaniment from Ian McLagan. This really carries the song!
I’m 71 also and remember when I was 16 at a Yardbirds concert just after they broke up and Page formed Led Zep, Jeff Beck came out and said, “I’d like to introduce our new lead singer, MR. Rod Stewart”! History, it was a $2.50 concert(1968)
I thank God every day that he gave me my life (1951) and I was a young one in that most important and joyful time when the great musicans made their song and we could listen , dance and love with. Keep healthy all of you and stay cool.
Reminds me of my dad,he absolutely loved Rod Stewart, especially when he was in the faces,he passed away in march,he had gasoline alley at his funeral,I Miss him.
My dad was a big fan of rod Stewart and the faces as well and also of Keith Richards and Ron wood he was crazy for teh stones . Keith was his who I was going to be named after parents weee sure I was gonna be a boy lol needless to say Keith for a girl name wasn’t hittin but lol the intention is pretty dope in my opinion rip to our badass rock and roll loving dads. Gasoline alley was a fave of my pops too 💯💯💯🙌🏼
My wife and I were talking about what we would like played at our funerals. We have been to a few lately that were so down and maudlin. She will have Motown and Sly. Mine may have some of that, but definitely SRV and Little Feat. But Rod and some Faces are definitely in the mix. This is amazing.
@@mongoardath1 good choices, little feat 1 of the biggest under rated bands ever, my dad got me into them too, about weeks before he went I'll we were watching a Lowell George doc on prime &willin come on, I didn't know he loved it so much, that too reminds me of him now, strange that lol 👍✌️
The Faces were just the greatest band ever to me. This is proof of how friggin great Rod Stewart was....dude could sing and this band could just rip. Seen some bar footage that was unbelievably raw and rockin.
When you come across gems like this, a really tight band, great guitar playing, vocals with emotion and you realise that it was all done live over 40 years ago........it simply confirms that so much of today's music is absolute and utter shite and would never have even got a look in when there were great musicians who can really play. I'm so glad that I was born in the greatest era for music
sknyaaaaard-live 75 all down hill from there??? Was very lucky(didnt think so at the time -Hard times in liverpool) had a great life -60+times cross planet/i st lass/bore arms/ blondes/long nightes/legs/ARMY/ UNI+++/London/berlin/st. petersberg/Desert nites/ten ring shot/back to the legs(cant stay away)HI JACKED A SPACE SHUTTLE OR TWO??? HA HA -neil mc auly /hatton garden/ ronnie biggsie -HEROER TO ME
What the F happened to music ???? Compare todays crapola to the soul, musicianship and talent of these guys and the musicians of the 60s and 70s and its really amazing how far we have fallen!
This was Rod Stewart at his best. His singing is raw and powerful. The last time I saw him, in person was about ten or eleven years ago at a small venue in Pennsylvania He sounded great singing his hits, but I wish he had performed this song.
Much better performer than most give him credit for. I saw him back in the early nineties at a smaller venue with Tina Turner and was very pleasantly surprised and impressed with just how great of performers both them actually were.
I'd rather see Iggy Pop than the Stones any day. Both are favorites of mine, but I've never paid more than 25 bucks to see Iggy, have twice caught him doing stage dives, and over a dozen times managed to get in the front row, center to watch him and his band, instead of watching TV like most end up doing at an overpriced Stones concert in some stupid football stadium.
@Basfordiron I'll see your Elton John and raise you Stevie Wonder - no contest. We have Aretha you have Adele - no contest. Besides Aretha and Stevie, you have no one to top Iggy Pop, Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, Jimi Hendrix, Robert Johnson, James Brown, Michael Jackson, George Clinton, Lou Reed, Miles Davis, Sly Stone, Bob Dylan, Al Green, B.B. King, John Coltrane, Louis Armstrong, Billie Holliday, Lester Flatt, Ralph Stanley, Ray Charles, Willie Nelson, Kenny Chesney, George Strait, Hank Williams, Muddy Waters or Prince. I believe you said something about variety? Ever notice you guys copy us and our music but we don't copy you and your music? I don't think you have anyone to compare to this guy, either: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-IBLruNfUqUs.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zhnMSVb0oYA.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-iUpBGHQWTKo.html Some of your performers do good songs in an American genre of music - but remember, it came from over here, baby. Blues, rock, jazz, country, R&B, zydeco, bluegrass - even ska was invented here and the great musical meccas of the last 80 years are here in Memphis, Detroit, Nashville and New Orleans.
I have to say Ronnie nailed it here. I've commented before but keep coming back. And Keith, oh Keith. When that man dies in 2050 I will shed real tears. Look at his contribution to music and block out the outlaw and drug persona. He was genius...
Actually Keith wrote the music and played most of the guitar on most Stones hits. But the Stones wanted Ronnie and I think Keith was there to see if it worked. Please do not get me wrong, Mick Taylor made so many great years with the Stones.
The outlaw and drug persona IS what makes him a Rock legend. Sorry Evo or should I call you Jeff Sessions? You sound like someone who has no effin clue.
I'd forgotten how good Rod Stewart was when he was with Faces...They all sound so good here and do this song justice. Nice upload. Thanks for the share :)
I saw them at Eagles Auditorium in Seattle back in 1969 for $3.00. My favorite song they played was Handbags and Gladrags! MASSIVE CHILLS! I saw so many great bands at Eagles and all the shows cost pennies! Music at its best then!
@@normadailey7953 $3.00 in '69? I believe it. I went to a lot of concerts in NY in the '70s, and it didn't cost much more than that. I agree, music was at its best in the 60s and 70s!
Ron Wood is a very underrated guitarist if I'm putting in my 2 shillings on the matter. Which I am! Also Small Faces and later Faces were incredible musicians.
For those interested: entire concert Faces with Keith(74) on You Tube too. I believe this is when Keith discovered that weaving went really well with Ronnie.
Well, it IS probably slightly harder to stand out with Keith playing next to you. However I believe Ronnie is doing great with the Stones and he was doing great with the Faces. I am still very happy he joined my favourite band.
I agree and I'm happy for that too and he has had a fantastic career, without the stones ge might have been forgotten too, happens to many great musicians you never know what happens. Sure that guitar weawing that goes so well with Keith may have made some people to not think that much of him than if he had played in another band but still I don't think he would be where he is without Rolling Stones. I think too that he's a big part of that Rolling Stones can still keep on performing, I think Keith is extremely happy to have him there as he loves to play and perform.
So grateful to stumble across this video clip. Having seen the Faces back in the early 70s, I was reminded of what a great performer and showman Rod Stewart was . . . not to mention the musicianship of the rest of the band members! So good to hear those white kids playing the blues so well.
I grew up with 3 elder siblings & was exposed to loads of different stuff . But the ones that gave me youthful goosebumps were The Stones & The Faces . When Rod Stewart sounds this good I forgive him some ' wardrobe ' disasters ! Ronnie Wood too . Fantastic band !
Can't help but wonder how many times the Faces got clobbered by a twirling mike stand!! That aside, a blistering version of this song. Just jaw droppingly great.🤩
my favorite singer... don't even know why, his voice comes from under my skin!... look at how he's got to stay away from the microphone when he sings out loud because his voice is SO powerful!
The Faces are amazing but Keith Richards with them on stage playing is just the icing on the cake 🎂. Keith you are truly brilliant 🎉🎉. Rod your vocals are beyond stellar 🎉🎉. This person is priceless 🎉🎉
Ron Wood's solo is simply exquisite. Lyrical and delicate. I love how there is not the prolonged sustain of today. But after perfect phrasing the sustain fades into air and becomes silent. If there were ever a perfect solo... This is it
Rods best ever vocal performance in my opinion with simply the greatest set of musicians who ever graced this planet.Loved the Faces always will.RIP Ronnie Ian.
All I can say regarding this tape is,,,,, What amazing talent Rod and Ronnie have Omg! That song ,,,,,I'd rather go blind ,,,,came out perfectly. It is awesome! Thanks for sharing❤
The best version of this song ever ! Without a doubt ! The Faces where an amazing band, plus Kieth Richards playing and the unforgettable soulful voice of Rod the mod Stewart singing with so much passion and feeling...
That's why my friends and I were all rooting for Ronnie to get Mick Taylor's spot in the Stones. It just felt like absolutely the best and most logical choice.
Roddy mixed so well with a number of top drawer musicians that we may not to get see/hear examples of their chemistry.One other session is worthy of noting here Stewart on vocals ,Peter Green on guitar,Cozy Powell at the kit and Jack Bruce on bass.it's astonishingly good as well.
Next year will mark HALF A CENTURY SINCE THIS MASTERPIECE WAS RECORDED…we need to all be thankful we are still alive to hear it played like it was just yesterday.
Some super tight mic stand twirling, dropping to the knees....on the beat! Ha! Amazing performance....while singing a fantastic blues number. Talent 🤘🏻
This beats any of today's music it had soul and depth that could reach your very being ,the music today takes you nowhere just a load of noise,god the 70/80s music you can't beat,the guitar playing by Keith and Ronnie on this video was something else.
every time I see clips like this I am amazed. These guys didn't have instant video to show them how to do it, how to sound, how to have stage presence. These guys and the others in their genre were masters
This really illustrates just how good Peter Green was. With all due respect to these greats, Green was just light years ahead as far as playing is concerned.
Though of course Greenie didn't play on the version Christine McVie (then Perfect) sang back in the day - that was with Chicken Shack, Stan Webb on guitar...
Thank you so much for putting that out there from the bottom of my heart. Wow, such talent playing together. I’m not sure who else noted it but at 1.15 into it take a look at Rod Stewart‘s reaction to the off note on the guitar. It stopped Rod in his tracks as he was about to sing that last note, and instead, he turned around and looked at the band. I have always respected Rod Stewart’s goal to be his best where his fans are concerned.
I surely saw that. He got stepped on by a guitar and didn't appear to like it. Ronnie wood smiled. He was never anything other then Rod's equal. At least in my mind.
Wow, Ron Wood is fantastic, just beautiful delicate blues. His style fits this song better than Keiths somewhat harsher style - not to say Keith didn't play well as well. : )
I saw Rod and the Faces in 1971 and it was fantastic! The Faces were a really good band. I'm a particular fan of Ian McLagan. What a great time to listen to live music.🥰
that's the way two huge talents act on guitar when sharing a stage... so coolto see no attitude or "this is my band" bull shit... two PRO's , and some beautifulblues for us all to enjoy (with one of the best blues voices.... Marriott's the other, for those wondering) .. :) ♪
I. was at the ole mans house. late. one night,. thinking about. good days gone by,. when BBC footage from a. early 70,s. show, I. was fucked up, but. it was one Of the. best shows ever,. I,ll. never forget. it,. it. brought. tears to my. eyes.
Claudette Preisinger I actually saw Faces twice, and yes, what a great time to see live music. Tickets were ridiculously cheap back then, so we could see a concert and have dinner for twenty bucks...for TWO! ☺️
