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 .

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.
@@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.
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.
@@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!
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.
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. ☮️🤘
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 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
@@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."
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....
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.
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.

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!
Aww.....no problem with disco....alot of rock acts were doing it then.....Kiss,The Rolling Stones,Santana....even Van Halen.....dance,dance,dance the night away.
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?
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.
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.
Hard to say anything that hasn't already been said. But lord the soul, the heart, the funk, the best, etc etc etc of the music that kids just don't have today. I feel sorry for them.
@@kevinduthie1580 I what specifically referring to modern pop music as it appears on the pop charts. There is some good stuff but you have to sift through a lot of crap in order to find it.
It was ever the way, have you forgotten Chicory Tip, First Class, Ace, Pilot, Bay City Rollers, Barry Blue..list goes on and on, from the seventies. You always have to look past the charts for the most part. 2019 was the best year for music since 97 probably and maybe top 5 since 1960
@@kevinduthie1580 yuck... Thanks a lot for reminding me now I will have a litany of Bay City roller songs going to my head for the next month! Curse you kevin duthie!!! Lol! Actually, as bad as a lot of that crap was it was much more technically musical than what appears on the pop charts nowadays simply because it required real musicians and actually had recognizable choruses and verses and bridges and was not auto-tuned or even tidied or sampled and pro tools to death. Today's pop for the most part is lazy, unimaginative and basically insulting to the intelligence. However if you are lucky enough to have a good college radio station near you you might possibly find some decent music. Cheers
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.
@@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.
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’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.
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.
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.
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!
Saw 'Em live in '71, I was 21. Truly, the only other band I ever saw that had their stage presence and energy was the Stones, really. Yep, Kids, watch this and realize this was what we kids in the 60s & 70s grew up on. You're lookin at REAL ROCK. Before corporations created the Shit that passes for music today. Fact.
@@thirdbase6870 Jeff Beck group with Rod Stewart & Ronnie Wood were a kick ass band !!! In my opinion the two albums they put out were better than Zep's early albums.
I'm from 1952 and still can't get beyond all the great shit that was coming out of England back then: Kinks, Stones, Cream, Led Zep, the Who, Bowie. It seemed endless....
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.

100 % !!!
I was 16 in ‘71 and could not agree more! Sadly, by the end of the decade radio was mostly unlistenable. It went downhill from there.
My Brother. You’re familiar with Terry Reid’s work. Enough said.
Everyone was always saying, in the future we have flying cars and advanced this and that, but I say 1971 is looking pretty good right about now.
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

Fucking right.
@@kevinbraden798 yeah I agree, you can’t even smoke in petrol stations these days.
When a band like The Faces sounds even better live than their record...you know that band is great.
All bands should, it's supposed to thier natural environment.
Something new artist don’t have this was about 40 years ago befor Ron wood went to the stones.
And when the band are completely drunk and still kick it better than the record, absolute masters of the craft.
Cocaine is a hell of a drug....
and they were even better when Steve Marriot was leading them
For me the best rock song ever.
The guitar and piano playing is so great.😊
The controlled chaos at the end, each member doing his own thing but they are still all on the same page, pure magic.
The Black Crowes should send these guys a Christmas card every year
Only if you believe in it guys? The product of False Religion!
Brilliant!! lol
We do love the ratty Faces sound, don’t we?
Absolutely... now that you mention it
Thought the same thing - especially Chris Robinson's thievery.
Rod Stewart and Ron Wood look like somebody ordered the same rock star in two different colours.
Hahahaha! Excellent, and true
That was 'The Shag' haircut, popular back then.
..and different sizes
These guys were a good band, each player was talented, they had chemistry, too bad they couldn’t keep it going, wasn’t meant to be .....
Lol yup
Ronnie Wood is absolutely killing it!
Nothing in this world is perfect but MAN do I miss the old days when music like this was popular and people were generally happier. I love this band!
You are right people were a lot happier then the music was good and life was good.
Completely agree. This brought back good memories.
To true when we lived through strikes and recession with good rock music and couldn't give a fuck about politics.
I hear ya 💗
A-men!
This is why old buggers of our vintage go on about what music really was.
Damn Skippy! Today’s music is crap!
Buggers,,,, Love it.... Damn it, I am one,WOW LOL
No auto tune bull shyt
It's also a very rare outing for the original lyrics. The BBC would not have played it, and in 1971, that is all that counted.
And that's why they still play "our" music...!
Music between 1967-1973. It was an explosion of pure magic.

My teen years. So incredible. ❤😢
Black music constitutes the bulk of durable music from that time.
I forgot how adorable Rod Stewart was. His later years obscured his roots.
Rod simply could not reach those notes anymore so he changed his style & selections of songs, can’t criticize him for that.
I can't help but love Rod and Ronnie together. 🎉
Saw them together in Cleveland stadium. Arrowsmith was there also.
Please remember Rod like this, not that "Do you think I'm Sexy" guy. Rod is THIS RIGHT HERE. Every Picture Tells A Story shows it clearly.
Correct! (IMHO). A great album at the time, and still good to this day.
every picture tells a story was a masterpiece!
I can't help it. I had to cover "Do you think I'm sexy" once so I'm unable to forgive him.
This is an awesome song, and there's nothing wrong with "Do You Think I'm Sexy." There were some great players doing that song with him. Wahi' Valleys
Can’t do it. There is no coming back from disco.
That Ronnie Lane bass line is fantastic. Musician of the most talented of rock and little recognized.
What bass is Ronnie playing?
@@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.

You certainly took your life in your hands sharing a stage with Rod when in a mic stand twirling mood!
🤣the other guys on stage were making sure to stand clear
No. He almost hit Ronnie Lane.
@@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!
Before Rod Stewart was a lounge act, kids, he was a fucking great Blues singer working with music’s greatest gods and goddesses.
Michael Reid Perry , You speak the truth.
How these guys were never bigger confounds me.
He’s still pretty damned good. Saw him in Louisville in ‘18. He still rocks!
And of course, Ronnie Wood is top shelf!
Fuck the easy money. Hold on to your dignity ladies and gents.
Ronnie Lane one of the most under rated musicians of my time. The man was so unbelievably talented.
100% agree!!
Debris is one of my favorite Faces songs...hes great.
Miss Ronnie Lane
I know and to meet such a sad end when Seeger said rock n roll never forgets
One of the greatest ever Ronnie Lane was rock and roll just like Keith is.
This is what you call a talent overload.
Maximum overdrive.
What it must feel like when every single member of your band would be the absolute best standout musician in any other band on earth.
I was lucky enough to be a teenager in the 70s. Good times, great music
Me 2
Anche Io
I came up in the 90s huge black Crowes fan,saw them live in 92. Chris did all of Rod's moves with the mic stand
DITTO, AND, I was lucky enough to see the Rod and Woody show live! Could be the best concert I ever saw!
My best life choice was being born in 1960.
Ronnie wood is a incredible lead guitarist when people let him shine on Stage he is incredible
Yes, and a major songwriting talent as well - when allowed to shine, as he was in Faces and solo.
I actually like his bass chops more in Rod’s early records..
Yes underrated he never got credit for several stones songs , Limousine was his He is a good rythem and blues excellent team player too
The two Ronnie's!
When Rod had a real job - with the greatest rock and roll band!
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.

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!
Yeah.. his later years "Sinatra" stuff was.. well, not his real stuff.. 😂
One of the all time best songs ever recorded PERIOD
Oh my, when Rod Stewart was actually good (before he went disco) ... love this song.
Aww.....no problem with disco....alot of rock acts were doing it then.....Kiss,The Rolling Stones,Santana....even Van Halen.....dance,dance,dance the night away.
And before that made up 70s rumor about him going to the hospital and getting his stomach pumped.
It's worth listening to for the distortion from Ron Wood's guitar alone.
I think the treble booster had a lot to do with that unique distorted tone. Gave it a certain mid-rangey tightness.
Fucking Nasty
Amen
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?
@@jorhay1 I'll give you this: You know your stuff!!
It's hilarious how they all looked at each other because nobody was sure when to change the tempo. Faces were absolutely the best band ever.
And that's what real rock muscian USED to do.
They all knew it was coming but they had to check in with drummer as to when.
Could of have been more popular than the Stones. Rod Stewart is every bit as good a front man
I read this comment right before the change. Iike real time play calling.
It’s highly likely they were drunk.
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.
glad you made it back chief,thank you for your service...
@@jaydurr8513you're welcome...you're worth it.
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.
@@DavidB-py8nz How do you know, are you in the back seat?? I’ve done the same numerous times. Perhaps you don’t get excited by good Rock, shame.
Me too. I always hear this one out!
Don't come here if you can't handle the nostalgia.
This is as close as any of us who lived through the 1970s will have to a time machine to relive it, thanks for posting!
I'm lucky. Some songs from the Faces show I saw in '72 are on YT.
Hard to say anything that hasn't already been said. But lord the soul, the heart, the funk, the best, etc etc etc of the music that kids just don't have today. I feel sorry for them.
This really puts into perspective how absolutely horrifying modern music is...
Except it's not, you're just looking in the wrong places.
@@kevinduthie1580 I what specifically referring to modern pop music as it appears on the pop charts. There is some good stuff but you have to sift through a lot of crap in order to find it.
It was ever the way, have you forgotten Chicory Tip, First Class, Ace, Pilot, Bay City Rollers, Barry Blue..list goes on and on, from the seventies. You always have to look past the charts for the most part. 2019 was the best year for music since 97 probably and maybe top 5 since 1960
@@kevinduthie1580 yuck... Thanks a lot for reminding me now I will have a litany of Bay City roller songs going to my head for the next month! Curse you kevin duthie!!! Lol! Actually, as bad as a lot of that crap was it was much more technically musical than what appears on the pop charts nowadays simply because it required real musicians and actually had recognizable choruses and verses and bridges and was not auto-tuned or even tidied or sampled and pro tools to death. Today's pop for the most part is lazy, unimaginative and basically insulting to the intelligence. However if you are lucky enough to have a good college radio station near you you might possibly find some decent music. Cheers
@@TerryNails LOL
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.
Love Ronnie. Love Keef. Not so keen on that weaving crap.
Prefer a more defined lead/rhythm style.
Thanks, "every 10 years ago" .... Always get the good ones..
Ronnie Lane, gone but will never be forgotten..
Ronnie Laine - sublime bass player...
One of the baddest rock songs ever recorded. Sounds as great in 2020 as it did the first time it came out. Ronnie is smokin'
Gasoline Alley and Every Picture Tells a Story are among two of the finest acoustic rock albums to ever have been released in my opinion.
Ummmm, not acoustic.
@@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.
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’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.
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.
This is the Rod Stewart I grew up with...!!!
BACK IN MY DAY Young fella ,
No really
back. in my day music was un fucken believable!!!
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.
What a great memory of this song. I love how music can take you back to a moment. 🤘🏻
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!
They hit that groove and it's all over!
Saw em 3 times. Damn what energy!😊
Saw 'Em live in '71, I was 21.
Truly, the only other band I ever saw that had their stage presence and energy was the Stones, really.
Yep, Kids, watch this and realize this was what we kids in the 60s & 70s grew up on.
You're lookin at REAL ROCK. Before corporations created the Shit that passes for music today. Fact.
👍🇨🇦
Ever see The Doors? Do tell.
So, So, So, SO TRUE !!!!!
@@zyrrhos mick with a beard is scaring me😂😂
SMALL FACES b4 them
The Faces should’ve been so much bigger in America.
Well, this song was huge in America at least
i think the face,s would have been bigger than the rolling stones, if they had stayed together, top,top band
@jennifersman
As well the Jeff Beck Group w/ Rod Stewart
would've if mick wasn't so scared he'd be replaced
@@thirdbase6870 Jeff Beck group with Rod Stewart & Ronnie Wood were a kick ass band !!! In my opinion the two albums they put out were better than Zep's early albums.
I was 18 in '71!! Wonderful days & times...
I'm from 1952 and still can't get beyond all the great shit that was coming out of England back then: Kinks, Stones, Cream, Led Zep, the Who, Bowie. It seemed endless....
This was real music. How far we’ve fallen. I was born in 1979 -
When touring, these dudes used to have a bar and bartender on stage with them to serve them drinks... how frikkin' cool is that?
Who didn't 😉👍
sounds pretty alcoholic to me, but ok
@@troubledwaters7441 they also massively boned groupies... wanna comment on their immorality as well?
@@MisterGuitarItalia The Faces were a lot less immoral then those meditation videos!!
@@004752 Points for the investigation, but major demerits for the bad spelling and lousy humor...
Those were good times and will never be again so sad
july 18, 1971, Milwaukee auditorium, great show, we were flying...great Band.
One of the greatest song outros ever! Wouldn't complain if it went on like that for another 5 minutes.
