Great song! Rod's voice still sounds nearly identical, almost 50 years later!! Keith & Woody had great chemistry, even before Ronnie joined 'The Boys,' 2 months later.
The alleged reason he was asked to join the Stones was precisely this chemistry. Mick realised the Human Riff was gonna play with Woody and it was better if it was in the Stones, than as a member of a new band
Faces continued for another 11 months after this gig and included 2 full tours of the USA and and anyone who saw them would testify they were on top of their game ...Faces true Masters of good time rock'n'roll
I'm so happy 😊 that the Midnight Special, showed this beautiful and amazing performance. 3 amazing icons on stage performaning together. This is a treat of a lifetime. This will go down in history as one of the best performances ever. Keith,Rod,and Ronnie are beyond incredible. They are blazing hot 🔥. This is real rock and roll. This is what real authentic 💯 music 🎶 🎵 sounds like. This is timeless and classic. I'm so blessed that I got to watch this when the Midnight Special, had the phenomenal taste in showcasing this stellar party of mind blowing music 🎶 🎵
This was a few months after Mick Taylor left the stones. Also around the time of recording the Black and Blue album which Ronnie guested on. I wonder if either of knew they would be playing together into their 80's.
Twisting The Night Away!...a Sam Cooke Classic! ... and Rod sings it so well here. Cool the way they switch grooves on this. Is that Nicky Hopkins on piano?
What does Keith do here that Woody can't? Nothing. And Kenny Jone's insistent (boring) back beat doesn't swing at all. He falls into that trap sometimes, e.g. playing a 4-bar backbeat w/ The Who on "I Can See for Miles" on tour.
At 0:35 Keith Richards has never smile this way since a long time (on scene) and more, Rod Steward was allowed to put a cap on Keith's head. Wow, impossible for Jagger to touch Keith on scene. 1:22 1:44 3:23 4:22 Very strange "blackbox" hiding brands on Steinway and bass drum but not always. Why? God only knows.
Change out this rhythm section for Andy Newmark and Willie weeks and you have the band that recorded Ron Woods first solo lp "I've Got My Own Album to Do" It's a spectacular album. Better than "It's only RocknRoll" and "Smiler"LP from the same year (1974).
John, I'll fill in the blanks for you. In addition to Rod, of course his sidekick Ronnie Wood is there. Keith Richards joined them, just for this special performance. Kenney Jones is on drums and Ian McLagan plays piano. Tetsu Yamauchi is on bass guitar. Ronnie Lane left the band in 1973, Tetsu joined them shortly thereafter, and played with them for a few years.
@@weswaselenchuk9906 Thanks!! My comment was more to give the channel a nudge to list all the credits when possible but your knowledge is appreciated!!
John ... I presumed that your intent was just as you stated to me. Just thought I'd clarify the band members for anyone who was curious. Thanks for your kind response.
*Wanna See A Match Burn Twice?* 🔥 Engine Search the *Black Crowes* after this performance! 🎸 Smart move on the *Black Crowes* part to immulate *Faces!.* Around 1975, *Ronny Wood* started playin' w/ *Stones!* (Full Circle) *Rod Stewart* slaughters *Mick Jagger* on Lead Vocals tho! ...Hey!... *"I know! It's only Rock-&-Roll but I like it!*
Yeah the guys in Faces were not happy at all at this show 'cause they knew then that Ron Wood was leaving the band to join the Stones, and then he had the gall to invite Keith to come play with them! LOL
