They started out as the Small Faces as no band member was over 5'7"!! Steve Marriott left the band to form Humble Pie, Rod became the Lead Singer and was Much Taller than the Rest of the band and had to cut Small from their name and become simply Faces!!
@Rogers Collier Yeah they slash marked it , Small Faces/Faces . They got it right . I prefer the Faces phase of this group but I give the super talented Steve Marriott credit for laying the groundwork for propelling this group to iconic status . Now that Jann Wenner is gone from the Board let’s see if we can get Jethro Tull in there . Weiner did not like Tull and I heard was the fly in the ointment on their inclusion . Are with me RC ?
@@kathleenwilliams7719 I think Kenney Jones was technically as good a drummer as Moon, just Keith was one of those great musicians that had that undefinable extra that makes them stand out.
@@foolsjourney8118 Agreed. Kenney is an outstanding drummer, but ironically he has *discipline*, which normally is exactly what you want from a drummer ... except when you’re trying to replace Moon, who was a train on the edge of crashing off the tracks at any moment
You didn't mention that other guitar guy there (Ronnie Wood) who went on to some other rock n roll band (possibly called The Rolling Stones, I think...?), or that the bassist (Ronnie Lane) made an album with Pete Townshend (called Rough Mix), just as Who Are You was about to be recorded. Just stickin up for the nobodies... Just pullin yer chains, guys. I also agree with what all you said about Kenney Jones. Really though, for a great experience, that Rough Mix album is perfect to hear just before the Who Are You album. Same acoustic guitar, synths, with Pete's music on both. As a bonus, you get a good taste of why Ronnie Lane is so musically legendary aside (and inside) Faces. Although mellower, Rough Mix eases you nicely into the kick in your head that Who Are You gives. Don't thank me, just enjoy it if you try it
This is one of the rare examples where the live version exceeded the studio version. Studio is tight af, but man, this one has got tons of swagger. Good call dude.
Kick ass performance, but darn, he skipped favorite line. "Yes, I'll pay your cab fare home you can even use my best cologne just don't be here in the morning when I wake up"
The Faces were one of my favorite groups as a teen. And Rod was one of the best front men in rock. I was so lucky that they were my first concert. Fantastic!!
Solo, a completely different guy in the beginning. "Gasoline Alley" and "Handbags and Gladrags" are great examples of his great early work, some of his best ever.
In the sixties they called him Rod the Mod. He was great in the Faces, then he went solo and became a parody of himself. His love life was more interesting than his music. Like a male Kardashian! God bless him!
I missed his comment from the studio version of “Sit down, get up, get out”. It truly was a different mindset in those days. Peace to you, Jamal. Thanks for what you do.
What a perfect song. I always tell people that if the aliens arrive and demand to know what rock and roll is just play this song for them. This is rock and roll.
Hate to reply to my own comment, but although I do enjoy your reactions more with live versions, this is one of the few times that the studio recording is so much better on the ears. Gotta give it a listen.
Yesssssss!! There's a live version of "Maybe I'm Amazed" (cover of Paul McCartney's song) of around this period..... pure magic. The Faces were such a good time band, but brilliant musicians and good friends. It shows. Thanks, Jamel!
When Rod Stewart and Ron Wood (who would later join the rolling stones) joined the Small Faces (Ronnie Lane, Ian McLagan, and Kenny Jones), they dropped the "Small" and just became the Faces.
Yes Yes YES! I have been waiting for someone else to mention "I Was Only Joking". It wasn't a hit single, just a deep cut on a brilliant album, but it is such a bittersweet, nostalgic song, beautifully written and performed.
Aww yeah, the Faces! The late great Ronnie Lane was a totally underrated bass player, singer and lyricist in his own right... terrific work on the keys by the late Ian McLagan... Ronnie Wood needs no intro with that fuzz-laden guitar... Kenney Jones was playing drums with the Small Faces when he was about 16... and this is the music Rod Stewart should’ve been singing all along... you should go back into the Small Faces’ library and check out “Song of A Baker” and “Tin Soldier” if you haven’t already...
the faces were a blast man. they used tour with a bar and bartender for the stage. this is one of the best straight up rock n roll songs ever....nice live version here. rod kinda became schmalzy in the later years but his work with faces, jeff beck group and his earlier solo stuff just kicks ass and stands the test of time. rock'n rod....
You always get to the heart of it. Seeing Faces up close & personal, I can tell you , few people ,outside of Otis Redding and James Brown, whom I also saw in 85, "work a room" like Rod.
Best live band ever! Back in the day bands like this could be found in local ballrooms and theatres.. everybody was up the front and dancing. 1970... I remember they turned off the power in Bournemouth Winter Garden but we all kept singing anyway.
Ooh it's missing one of my favourite lines of all time - "Yeah I'll pay your cab fare home, you can even use my best cologne, Just don't be here in the morning when I wake up" - such a shit thing to say, but Rod makes it borderline charming?!
Yeah, he was quite a ladies man. He’s got 8 kids ranging from 9-41. His 3rd wife now is 26 years his junior. I’ve seen recent interviews and he is absolutely crazy about her, it’s really cute.
Jamel, I am SO glad you finally reacted to this one! The Organist for The Faces and previously The Small Faces is Ian Mclagan (Mac). He moved to Austin, TX during the 90’s with his wife Kim (who was the first wife of Keith Moon of The Who). Mac had a group from the 90’s till 2014 called Ian Mclagan and the Bump Band. In 2004 Kim opened a Spa next door to my Mum’s tearoom. Since then my family and I had a personal friendship with Kim and Mac. Sadly, Kim passed away in a car accident in 2006. In tribute Mac wrote his album “Never Say Never” to her. Check it out when you have time. Mac passed away in 2014 of a stroke. His music and legacy lives on through channels like yours.
Ages ago Bono was giving an induction speech for the RRHOF (He was inducting The Who) and he was commenting that every top R&R band needed someone with a great nose. He said that The Faces had 2 of them so they gave Ron Wood to the Stones. th-cam.com/video/14AgJJKCKEA/w-d-xo.html
First concert I ever went to was Rod Stewart 1981 huge fan ever since. This man oozes sexiness for me .... I have a friend that is now 88 and has been to see him at least 50 times. Young or old ALL Us women love Rod (pardon the pun).... 😀
Rod and the guitarist Ronnie Wood had been in the Jeff Beck Group. Then they joined the Faces and Rod started releasing solo albums while he was in the Faces. So throughout the early 70s he was releasing Faces' albums and solo albums and the other members of the Faces would make appearances on his solo albums, especially Ronnie Wood.
Thank you Jamal, for this channel, and YOU. Saw Rod and the Faces on July 9,1972 in Pittsburgh, Pa..at the Civic Arena. Badfinger opened for them, I was in high school, will never forget this concert, when "Stay with Me" played, there was the largest balloon drop or some sort of inflatable balls landing all over the floor seating of the arena. We were high (sorry,that is the way it was back then), and it just super enhanced the experience. Rod was such a great front man and rocked out major league before he went solo. Again, a sign of the times in the 80's as ballad's became mainstream. Love Rod, but feel super blessed to have seen Badfinger.
Rod Stewart was both a solo artist and a member of The faces at the same time. The Faces played on his solo albums. He made 3 solo albums and 4 with The Faces between 1970-73. This was released the same year as Maggie May.
Rod must have been drunk - he left out half the lyrics of the studio version - *_"with a face like that you got nothing to laugh about" - "I'll give you cab fare home - you can even use my my best cologne - just don't be here in the morning when I wake up."_*
These guys were the non stop party hardy band of the 1970s. Great musicians too. They started in 1965 as the Small Faces, because they were all short guys from the East End of London, ( a "face" was Mod slang for a guy ). The Who in contrast were from the West. When guitarist/singer/founder Steve Marriott split to form Humble Pie they had to hire guitarist Ron Wood and vocalist Rod Stewart to take his place. You should also check out The Small Faces too. In their short time span they recorded a huge amount of material from blue eyed soul to psychedelic to raucous rock. My hero in both bands is bassist Ronnie Lane. A fantastic singer songwriter who contracted multiple sclerosis, like his father, but never gave in, kept on playing until he couldn't, lived on for 21 years and was a beloved figure to many. Many benefits were organized to help him with medical expenses and MS research were done over the years, starting in 1983 with people like Clapton, Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page, Steve Winwood, his old band mates and many others.
To answer one of your comments, Rod had a lot of lives. He became famous with the Jeff Beck Group , then he and Ronnie Wood joined the Faces. During his time with them he started his solo career. When that eclipsed the Faces, he left them and did many fine solo albums. Only later did his record company suggest doing the American Standard music. It kept going because they were big sellers. Each phase was characterized by a different style. But his voice has held. I have most of his great early work and I hold it dear. A truly great and original rock star; we will not see or hear another like him.
So Jamel, Did you notice Ronnie wood From the Rolling stones playing Guitar for the faces? He co wrote this song and played with them until Kieth Richards invited him to join the Rolling Stones
And Jamel has highlighted exactly where it went wrong for the rest of the group - Rod was the centre of attraction, Mac even stated that they effectively became his backing group - a real shame as people should know just how good the Small Faces were until Marriott left and Stewart & Wood joined, the group renamed as the Faces.
I love watching these videos where younger people than I listen to great older songs they never heard before. I also think it would be great to have a channel where older people listened to great newer songs that they never heard of.
Ronne Lane, the bassist in Faces, was a great songwriter who a lot of people credit with inspiring the rocking acoustic side of Rod Stewart. Unfortunately he was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis which limited his career and he passed away too early in 1997.
Jamal, you are SO SWEET and you ARE an old soul with a precious heart and great values! It was just a different time back then. I used to be a bartender & I had more than one guy friend tell me, "There's girls you fu*k, then there's girls you marry." All those rock stars found so many of BOTH and I'm sure they still do! We gotta raise our girls to know who they are and what they are WORTH!!
Hey , UK to Jamal , do you receive me , over ? ! 3 yrs on so doubt you'll ever see this , what the hell ? ! Dude , I watched your reaction at 1.30 - yep , the brother gets it , loud , louder and clearer ! Old fart continues ... I fell in love with this song first time I heard it , bought the single back in 1971 Rod at his very best , ( before he took the totally wrong exit off the freeway ) surrounded by one of THE best , most talented groups around . Sadly Ronnie L & more recently Mac have moved up to that Big Recording Studio in the Sky . ( Imagine the people in there & how that place rocks ! ! ) Fast forward to 2023 , I bought an acoustic g a few months back , teaching myself , stuff I want to learn . Just got this one off , just the acoustic chords , Woodie created a masterpiece , the beauty of which being how quickly a novice can pick up the basic chords . Not the fills , that I leave to my son oh his electric ! First time I cracked it , cried Big Fat Tears ( of joy) ... If music touches you as deeply as it touches me , you def don't need too much more out of life . Merry Christmas dude , if you do that stuff. x
I appreciate you bringing all of this old music back for me to revisit. I honestly never understood how influential blues was to all this music for decades! That soul you speak of is the blues coming through.
Faces Rod was a diffrent Person then what he morphed into in the 80s and on. Almost like his not as cool or talented twin kidnapped him and stole his Identity.
@@grahamm5630 - nah, the chance to earn a fortune, after relegating the others to his backing band. Ronnie Lane saw it and was gone, then Ronnie Wood was off to the Stones - curtains for the Faces......
Left my favorite line out " yea I'll pay your cabfare home you can even use my best cologne, just don't be here in the morning when I wake up. " sit down get up get out" Loved him, but with the faces and Ronny Wood he was crazy. Thank you for playing.

Live with faces
My bro.. would u like to react to my band.. its a Spanish metal band.. and ilthe song has a very strong message...... im a fan of yours
This band was perfect live...as long as they were sober enough to play and it didn't devolve into a fistfight onstage. Brilliant!
you know that guitar player is Ron Wood who's been in the Rolling Stones now for about 40 freekin years
Yet some fans still consider him the new guy
45 years.

Rod used to drink a bit back in the day😉
@@beverlyoyarzun3326 Wasn't he hospitalized for drinking too much once? 😂
@@beverlyoyarzun3326 - The Faces did like a drink live - Rod, Ronnie, Ronnie & Mac - not sure about Kenney though.......
The only thing missing in this performance is, "Sit down, get up, get out!" I live for that line in the recording.
"The next time I decide to marry, I'll just find a woman I don't like and buy her a house!" -- Rod Stewart
Kick ass performance, but darn, he skipped favorite line.
"Yes, I'll pay your cab fare home
you can even use my best cologne
just don't be here in the morning when I wake up"
I noticed that too. Flubbed. That's a great trio of lines.
Yeah, lyrics are a bit different here. Shame they omitted such a classic verse.
You won't need to much persuasion, I don't mean to sound degrading but with a face like that you got nothing to laugh about
Some of the best music ever! Love Ronnie Wood with Rod!!
They always looked like brothers to me.😊🤷♀️🥰
Steve Marriott left the Small Faces to form Humble Pie...and soon after Faces was born.
OPS!
It took guys to replace Steve!

I was just thinking about Humble Pie & Little Stevie Marriott. What a talent, wish he was still here.
small faces,the kinks and many other bands of the time were overshadowed by the beatles who were great songwriters but were ok musicans !!!!!!!
Rod doesn't sing it, but Ooh La La is their other HUGE song, a real classic.
Rod did cut his own version later!
plus it was used by Wes Anderson in Rushmore.
Ronnie Wood does the lead vocals- a real rarity!
@@beverlyoyarzun3326 Ron sang it because Ronnie Lane couldn't because his MS was beginning to kick in

@@JF-kv1gm Check out the A cappella version on YT.
In the sixties they called him Rod the Mod. He was great in the Faces, then he went solo and became a parody of himself. His love life was more interesting than his music. Like a male Kardashian! God bless him!
He always had a solo career in parallel when he was with the Faces.
I missed his comment from the studio version of “Sit down, get up, get out”. It truly was a different mindset in those days. Peace to you, Jamal. Thanks for what you do.

The Faces "Ooh La la"
Look for the Rod Stewart bbc 1 version of Maggie May ...its him withe faces..its amazing
Loving the Flashbacks. This has always been my favorite Rod Stewart song. 😊
One of the greatest rock'n'roll songs ever. Hail!
"A Nod is as good as a wink to a blind horse." Now that's rock and roll.
What's cool is the six degrees of separation that these band members have, going to, or forming other bands. Rock n' Roll goulash!!!
My husband and I went to see Faces, when we were dating in High School. This is a great memory, and Rod was close to the #1 player in the World Then.
That’s Ronnie Wood before The Stones and before that he played bass for Jeff Beck!
Ages ago Bono was giving an induction speech for the RRHOF (He was inducting The Who) and he was commenting that every top R&R band needed someone with a great nose. He said that The Faces had 2 of them so they gave Ron Wood to the Stones. th-cam.com/video/14AgJJKCKEA/w-d-xo.html
Actually, he joined the Beck group in '67 on bass and then Faces in '69. Keef asked him to join the Stones in 1975.
Much too talented for bass. Kick ass guitar player. UK just really produced a ton of them back then.

Again, a sign of the times in the 80's as ballad's became mainstream. Love Rod, but feel super blessed to have seen Badfinger.
One of their best songs. I love this song always did.
Jamal, this was actually before Maggie Mae
I’m pretty sure Maggie Mae was out in the middle of 1971 & this came out around the end of December
Check out the version of "I'm Losing You" they did from the same show.
Rod Stewart was both a solo artist and a member of The faces at the same time. The Faces played on his solo albums. He made 3 solo albums and 4 with The Faces between 1970-73. This was released the same year as Maggie May.
This song is completely & unapologetically tongue in cheek.
Kenny Jones, Ronnie Lane,Ron Wood and Rod... what a band
Ian McLagan on keyboards who went on to be a member in the Stones.
Rod must have been drunk - he left out half the lyrics of the studio version - *_"with a face like that you got nothing to laugh about" - "I'll give you cab fare home - you can even use my my best cologne - just don't be here in the morning when I wake up."_*
And "Sit down. Get up. Get out!"
It's Rod in the 70s so... probably, lol

When that eclipsed the Faces, he left them and did many fine solo albums. Only later did his record company suggest doing the American Standard music. It kept going because they were big sellers. Each phase was characterized by a different style. But his voice has held. I have most of his great early work and I hold it dear. A truly great and original rock star; we will not see or hear another like him.
Rod's "Every Picture Tells A Story" is a must react to.
I like it. Love to see you react to Jeff Beck and Rod doing “I ain’t Superstitious”. Keep bringing on great music Jamel. ✌️
Black cat cross my trail
.. yeah buddy.
So Jamel, Did you notice Ronnie wood From the Rolling stones playing Guitar for the faces? He co wrote this song and played with them until Kieth Richards invited him to join the Rolling Stones
This whole concert is great. For sure you should watch in your free time.
His guitarist Ron Wood went on to play with The Rolling Stones.
Lets keep this roll going, do "Every Picture Tells a Story" next!
Reliving the music and remembering the times with a new generation is fun. Jamel does it justice.
Jamel, I think you mean "groupies!!" This was my favorite song from them. The tempo changes, the break downs, etc. Awesome!
Ron Wood, Ronnie Lane, the best band of all time.
Listen to the bass.
correction: this is not Rod Stewart, this is The Faces, the glorious, mighty, raunchy, naughty Faces 😍😅
And Jamel has highlighted exactly where it went wrong for the rest of the group - Rod was the centre of attraction, Mac even stated that they effectively became his backing group - a real shame as people should know just how good the Small Faces were until Marriott left and Stewart & Wood joined, the group renamed as the Faces.
I love watching these videos where younger people than I listen to great older songs they never heard before. I also think it would be great to have a channel where older people listened to great newer songs that they never heard of.
Now THAT is rock and roll, my man!
Love these early RS/Faces songs! Check out "Handbags & Glad Rags" from the Rod Stewart Album. A nice slow one for a little change of pace.
"Let's go upstairs and read my tarot cards."
Ya - love that line!
yep.. I just said that too... one of my favorite lines other than "my body stunk, but I kept my funk!
And that was pure rock n roll live, and they were enjoying it. Modern contrived groups...watch and learn.....
Ronne Lane, the bassist in Faces, was a great songwriter who a lot of people credit with inspiring the rocking acoustic side of Rod Stewart. Unfortunately he was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis which limited his career and he passed away too early in 1997.
Hey Jamal, flip this 45 over and play the B side track “Debris”. A real tear jerker about father-son relationships.
Beautiful tune. Ronnie Lane -- what a songwriter!
@@saracody5123 Ronny Lane had a beautiful soul. Sadly missed.
Great song!
Ronnie wood too!
This band went through many changes
Jamal, you are SO SWEET and you ARE an old soul with a precious heart and great values! It was just a different time back then. I used to be a bartender & I had more than one guy friend tell me, "There's girls you fu*k, then there's girls you marry." All those rock stars found so many of BOTH and I'm sure they still do! We gotta raise our girls to know who they are and what they are WORTH!!
Hey , UK to Jamal , do you receive me , over ? !
3 yrs on so doubt you'll ever see this , what the hell ? !
Dude , I watched your reaction at 1.30 - yep , the brother gets it , loud , louder and clearer !
Old fart continues ... I fell in love with this song first time I heard it , bought the single back in 1971
Rod at his very best , ( before he took the totally wrong exit off the freeway ) surrounded by one of THE best , most talented groups around . Sadly Ronnie L & more recently Mac have moved up to that Big Recording Studio in the Sky .
( Imagine the people in there & how that place rocks ! ! )
Fast forward to 2023 , I bought an acoustic g a few months back , teaching myself , stuff I want to learn .
Just got this one off , just the acoustic chords , Woodie created a masterpiece , the beauty of which being how quickly a novice can pick up the basic chords . Not the fills , that I leave to my son oh his electric !
First time I cracked it , cried Big Fat Tears ( of joy) ...
If music touches you as deeply as it touches me , you def don't need too much more out of life .
Merry Christmas dude , if you do that stuff. x
A song I think you’d like is ‘Isn’t it Time’ by The Babys - check it out
Midnight Rendezvous is another great one by them.
People get ready with Jeff beck
Such a clean sound! You can hear every instrument in harmony.
I appreciate you bringing all of this old music back for me to revisit. I honestly never understood how influential blues was to all this music for decades! That soul you speak of is the blues coming through.
They call 'em groupies Jamel, nudge nudge, wink, wink, know what I mean!
You Wear it Well is another great Rod song. Before he went disco.
Remember having that album back in the day. Listened to that vinyl LP for many hours.
Grateful for you and your channel 🙏
So much more greatness, please don’t stop!
Every Picture Tells a Story
Faces Rod was a diffrent Person then what he morphed into in the 80s and on. Almost like his not as cool or talented twin kidnapped him and stole his Identity.
Spot on
Cocaine will do that
@@grahamm5630 - nah, the chance to earn a fortune, after relegating the others to his backing band. Ronnie Lane saw it and was gone, then Ronnie Wood was off to the Stones - curtains for the Faces......
You should actually listen to the studio version. It's better.
Left my favorite line out " yea I'll pay your cabfare home you can even use my best cologne, just don't be here in the morning when I wake up. " sit down get up get out" Loved him, but with the faces and Ronny Wood he was crazy. Thank you for playing.
im just from this era ,but im really glad you appreciate this music .Its for ever music.
