Great song, captures the spirit of blues rock around 1970 perfectly. It took two guys (Rod Stewart and Ronnie Wood) to replace Steve Marriott. That tells all about what a musician Steve was. RIP!

It's so.sad to think that the music of this era on through the mid 1970s will never return. All the things that led to its creation are no more. Society has changed drastically and in ways that are far worse than could have been imagined and thus it is reflected in the music we have today. As they say, art reflects the society from which it originates.

One of the great Rock bands of the late 60s and 70s! Too cool!

Wow we saw The Faces do that number, , we love it!!

[martinamanecke]

Everybody lively on stage, but what thrills me the most is Rod's entry, the first note he sings out. Hits it wirh dreamlike certainty and raw power, and he keeps the song on a serious level while the other are not that focused. But the way they enjoy themselves makes the whole thing enjoyable, too. I just love it.

Rod Stewart on vocals and Ronnie Wood on guitar. What more can I say?

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. Don't get better 'an this, man. 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 Fiesta Red Ron's guitar, Ian's keys and Rod's soulful vocal. Listen to Ronnie Lane's bass lines... more expressive, almost like a lead guitar. And what's that? ...Kenny 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).
