The end probably the most listened to mandolin lick of all time.
Ray Jackson of Lindisfarne played the mandolin,but as Stewart didn’t want to pay him any royalties,on the back of the album where musicians are listed,Rays name was replaced by just putting mandolin player.not a nice thing to do.
@isg01010.....That is no lie and I think I'm far enough along to start working on learning to play it now.
Bless you! I thought only I fell in love with that part of the song. My dad bless his soul tried to play one for 30 years or so. Peace from Northern Michigan
Outside of bluegrass.
@@BringItMAGA That would be correct! 👍
"Maggie May" was the #1 song of the year 1971.
I remember it well!
Sorry fellas, I was 5. I love the song, but my recollection of 1971 is shady at best lol.
I can't believe you guys haven't heard this song. I heard it over a thousand times and it never gets old. This is true music.
that is what I was thinking lol -
Oh my God, Rod burst onto the scene with this song when I was 16. We had never heard anything like it and I get such great memories every time I hear Maggie May. Can you imagine being 16 and this sort of stuff was happening all the time! Great days.
No, he didn't "burst" onto the scene. Rod had previously been lead singer for Jeff Beck Group and Faces, both successful. Though he is solo here, he is actually backed by his Faces bandnates.
Same. I have been a fan since this song came out.
@@denroy3Right! In 1968 Rod was singing with Jeff Beck. Love their song, “I Ain’t Superstitious” from the Jeff Bec “Truth” album. Great song if one wants to here the playing that made Beck famous, along with some early Rod Stewart.
Maggie is a grown woman and he is a school kid (in the story) who falls for the older woman, as any kid usually will, but she just wanted to have fun with a young boy. So he's broken hearted. (This actually happened to a friend of mine back then, in '71). Rod was the singer of the band "Faces", whose lead guitarist was Ronnie Wood, who now plays with Keith Richards and is one of the Stones. He is playing the mandolin at the end (the tinkly instrument; he also plays another instrument associated with country music, like the mandolin, and that is the pedal steel guitar, which he plays on The Girl With the Far Away Eyes).
I saw Rod and The Faces in 1974 at The Apollo in Glasgow (Scotland). Rod was born in London to Scottish parents and he has always considered himself to be Scottish, which we love. It was an epic gig. The crowd sang every word of Maggie May with him and we brought the house down at the end of it. His band at the time, The Faces, was really tight and great to listen to - Ronnie Wood, now of the Rolling Stones, played lead guitar. If you want to hear more of the same, You Wear It Well and Stay With Me are classics. His post-Faces split stuff was commercially successful but never reached the same heights as The Faces period for me.
I'm half Scottish on my dad's side. My dad's mate is a celtic fan like Rod. And was once on a cruise that rod was on. My dad's mate is a big drinker. He can put back 10+ pints comfortably. And he got talking to Rod in the bar about football. Rod Drank him under the table...carried him back to his cabin. Then went back to the bar and carried on drinking 🤣. That man can drink !
@@billdoor3140 No doubt about that. I was walking away in a crowd of fans after a Scotland game at Hamden (we won) when a limo stopped in traffic beside us. The back window rolled down and there was Rod and his mates knocking back the brandy, then having a laugh with us until the traffic moved on. Top man and fellow Celt.
It's just "Faces" by the way, there is no "The" in their name, shortened from the original groups 'Small Faces', because Rod was taller than Steve Marriot, haha.
This song came out after I’d gone to Vietnam, returned to finishing college, and quite frankly had profound effect while trying to prioritize my life. It’s all good…phew. 🙏
This song came out the year my father returned from Vietnam. But for other reasons, it had a profound effect on me.
@@jamesedmondson4921 …I got home in ‘69, dithered a bit, but eventually knuckled down. This tune helped push me along.
Still played on FM radio to this day, yeah this song from 1970 is that good!
Being in high school in the 70's this song was my first intro to Rod steward, along with "Piano man" by Billy Jolel, and "Crocodile Rock" by Elton John.
Great reaction guys! This is off the Every Picture Tells a Story LP that came out in 1971. I'm pretty sure that this LP and song put Rod and the band Faces in the public eye. Every song on it is great but one of my favorites is Mandolin WInd. I think you would enjoy it also.
Mike, one of my favourite albums of all time! Rod has one of the great rock/blues voices of all time.
@@johnwaga3702 I understand. Bought the LP after hearing Maggie May on the radio. Played that LP until I wore grooves into it!
My fav too is Mandolin Wind. Just sew him in concert again last night in Lisbon. lost count of the amount of times I have seen him in concert. First time was in 83 Earls court London.. Guessing Last night was the Last... but I hope not
Faces (Small) were in the public eye with a guy named Steve Mariott well before Rod came on board.
You're pretty wrong. While Faces members are playing his backing band, this was Rid going "solo". Faces was a well known group before hand...and Rod was also known as the lead singer of 'Jeff Beck Group' before that, another successful endeavor that actually made him.
You need to check out his, FOREVER YOUNG"! Its a sweet. sweet song that you will want to sing to you kids.!
Popular request thus far!
"Young Turks" is a great song and "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy" is the first Rod Stewart song I ever heard on the radio. I was young and had no idea what it was about! 🤣
Rod Stewart had so many hit singles you can’t even count them all. One of my favourites n
Maggie May is based on one of Rod's true life stories.
I believe he was about 16 at the time.
@@cheripetty1805 I believe you are both right.
It's about an older woman he lost his virginity to in 1961!
1971 was the year. I had just gotten married and we were traveling to Louisiana from Georgia for my husbands job. We heard this song on the radio and it was the first time I had heard it and really liked it. Heard it a lot after that. Hard to believe y'all have never really listened to him. He is one of the best. So glad you like him!!
Isn’t it amazing how music can transport us to a specific time and place…gotta love it❤
Sorry Karen, in 1971 I was 5. I love the song, but my recollection of 1971 is shady at best lol.
Hi Guys the instrument to start this and the end is a Mandolin . Pretty cool sounding instrument . This was the 1971 release that set Rod on his Journey . His unmistakeable vocals . This was a massive hit for him and the band they were called The Faces . Glad to see you have discovered Rod he is still recording today . Thanks John
You're right, mandolin is played at the end, but the beginning (after the classical guitar intro) is a 12-string guitar.
@@xchiro1818 Know it all! JK
A song about a cougar before that was even a "thing". This has been my favorite of his for decades.
I love Rod Stewart !!! From the beginning until now ! ♥♥♥
Great reaction! You can't go wrong with Rod, but a suggestion from me, would be: "The First Cut is the Deepest".
Yup, Rod does a great cover on that song, written and first sung by Cat Stevens when he was a teenager!
Rod is Pop, Rock, Disco, Jazz, had duets, ect. A truly versatile talent spanning the decades.
Don't discount the contribution to the earliest framework for what would become Heavy Metal wirh his first big gig as frontman on The Jeff Beck Group's first two albums
Someone back in the sixties described Stewart's voice as the sounding like "the morning after a night of too much bourbon and cigarettes".
Ron wood sounds so good on the guitar in the song he went to the rolling Stones after this. Rod Stewart is a legend Great reaction guys rock on
And don't forget his wonderful bass work in the same song too.I will look at Ron Wood in a new light after this.Never knew he played bass till now.
@@michaelporter8053 multi-talented musician
Rod Stewart the medieval minstrel wandering from village to village singing his stories to the common folk while playing the mandolin.
I really enjoy your reactions notably how you do a bit of research before you listen. Totally blind first listens can be fun, but sometimes a bit of foreknowledge can make a huge difference in one's perception or understanding. Also your analysis of instrumentation is amazing.😀 I've been a fan of Rod since the 70s and he released a new album in 2021- amazing! I'll recommend "Forever Young" if you sample some more. Thanks for inviting us along your musical discovery.
Thank you, appreciate the acknowledgment! We were doing a lot of blind reactions when we began but we felt like we missed the scope of some of the songs or artists. We try to mix it up now without spoiling the surprises! Kind of like when you know you’re getting a birthday gift but not opening it until your actual born day! 😂
@@barsandbarbells2022
This MUST be followed by "Stay with me"
Rod Stewart, timeless!! This song, also timeless!!!
This song from Rod Stewart reminds me of 'Mrs Robinson' - the film. Dustin Hoffman was the young man & loved Mrs Robinson. Just love Rod Stewart
the instrument at the end is a mandolin, which is typically a bluegrass instrument
From the '71 album "Every Picture Tells A Story". (Had it on 8-track. : ) That whole album is good.
Every Picture Tells A Story is a masterpiece.
Any of his performances from live at the Albert hall are peak Rod Stewart. He’s a different animal with an audience… you won’t be disappointed ❤
It’s a mandolin. Not something you hear a lot of in rock, but essential to this song. I always thought this song had a Welsh/Scottish sound and feel to it. I especially love the 2 guitar solos. I was captured the first time I heard it in 1971 and I love it as much now as I did then. ❤
his catalog is ever changing, sexual, heartfelt, loving, kindness, evoluving.....What an outstanding performer for more than 50 years strong Keep going!!
One of the best and most perfect songs ever recorded!... and yeah thats a mandolin.... early british rockers were influenced by classic english folk music, mandolins turn up often in early British rock
Soooooo many greats!! ❤😊Rod Stewart is a legend, for sure. “You’re in my Heart” “I Don’t Want to Talk About it” “Forever Young”
the instrument is a Mandolin
Rockin Rod. He became more internationally known when he joined legendary guitarist “Jeff Beck Band” in around 1968ish with future “Rolling Stones” guitarist Ron Wood , then Rod & Ron Wood joined the band “Faces “ after 2 albums with Jeff . Deep catalog of great music
Mandolin is a bluegrass standard instrument, but Rod makes fine use of it here. Great reaction!
Yes! Thank you!
Rod sings, “The First Cut is The Deepest”. You must hear it.
Yeah I really dig Rod Stewart and this is a big favorite of mine!!!
What can you say about Rod Stewart?......... he's a freaking legend! ✌️
the classic "morning after the night before" story........"Maggie May" was quite the cougar.......the "unknown instrument" you talked about was a mandolin......
I do believe that was a mandolin. Great song. I had forgotten how good RS is. I had this album and just about wore it out. Nice reaction.
Love Maggie May!!
I think that my physics teacher was Maggie, from what she said. My parents loved to dance to Rod. Therefore I love him.
A Cleveland DJ Mitch Michaels played Maggie May the B-Side to Reason To Believe and the phone lines burned up
At one point I heard him called the Crown Prince of Rock and Roll. Maggie May was not his biggest but is my own personal favourite. He had a huge number hits. This was just his first one.
😂Yes 'the ladies took advantage of Rod"
"Sailing" is another great favourite of mine from Rod.
Your video included the intro.....love that intro
Long John Ba
Baldry was a famous English folk singer around the days they Beatles were first famous. Long John was very popular on BBC TV and one day he spotted a young kid playing harmonica at a train station and singing. That Young man became Rod Stewart and later Long John heard a young piano player who went on to become Elton John. So, Baldry started the careers of Rod Stewart and Elton John, two legendary performers in the Rock Industry in England and later the world. Both these future start played in Long John's band known as the Steam Packet. That is little known history.
Rod Stewart and the faces a great old band.One of my top songs is That's All You Need - RUclips. Not all like it but i do. Thanks both.
I still love this song. It reminds me of my best years in high school. It takes me back to a very nostalgic time. I could never put it into words, but there's just something about it. Those who are fans of this song and this time, understand.
That stringed instrument was a mandolin, and if you would like to hear more of it, you should react to Rod Stewart's song Mandolin Wind.
I just found your site and love your reaction, especially the classic rock era. I'm older so this is my era and to me, for music, there's none better! There's a huge rabbit hole you can go down with actual talent. No computer, no auto tune, just talent! I don't know if you do requests but highly suggest Steve Winwood, Dear Mr. Fantasy from Clapton's Crossroads concert! Great song by yet another legend.
That's my favorite version of that song!
Welcome!
It was a mandolin at the end! Great song and reaction! He is a legend.
"Hot Legs" Is a must guys. You will love it.
On the radio 20 times a day for years. Part of summer living too. No internet, only three tv channels and RADIO music! Life was simple and fun as heck.
Rod Stewart is the best storyteller vocalist of all time. His whole catalogue is outstanding. Met him once in the 80's and he was a true gentleman.
EVERY PICTURE and NEVER A DULL MOMENT superb albums. Add “Mandolin Wind,” “Every Picture,” and several others top notch. Later stuff definitely intended to sell records to an audience that was moving into the mid-70s sounds.
You know i've been loving reaction videos for a while and it just clicked with me i'm a music lover seriously. It's also the same reason why i play music at the bar and love getting a reaction out of people whether its good or bad, a song they know or hearing it for the the first time, a song they'll sing along with or crack jokes about it, I love seeing people respond to music. I definitely love when people like what they're hearing over a salty reaction but i love reactions out of people. It drives me nuts when people only listen to music they hear on the radio. There's a whole world out there of music and whether its main stream or i gotta dig for it I like when people step out of their comfort zone and explore music
This was Rod’s first solo hit, prior to this he was the front man the band The Faces ( a great band) before that it was the Guitarist Jeff Beck who gave him a jump start to his career in the Jeff Beck Group back in the late 60’s.
The lady of the song was well known at the time and she handled the exposure like the class act she was🎉
Handbags and the Gladrags, another surprise in Sir Rod's vast repertoire
Love "Forever Young".
Before I even watch the reaction...I am laughing and excited to see your reaction.😊
It's a mandolin, played by Ray Jackson of the band Lindisfarne, who just happened to be in the studios and improvised the piece to fill out a flat repetitive outro. He was paid the princely sum of £15, Musicians' Union session rate. Despite the song going on to be No.1 in both the UK and US he didn't get a penny more. Tight sod Rod.
Well ,he was Scottish.
That's The Stones Ronnie Wood on Bass
One of the best songs and recordings of the 70s.
Oh and it’s a mandolin.
I was 16 yrs old when this came out & LOVED it!! It was 1976. Co-written by Rod & Martin Quintenton. Just brilliant!! 🥰🥰🥰
Maggie May came out in 1971.
Stay with me is the ultimate party rockroll song!!
I think that's a mandolin at the end. It's like a guitar but high pitch. Mandolins are popular in blue grass music.
I always loved Maggie May. It was No 1 in Nov 1971 the week I was born.
I'm going to go see him in concert next month. Really looking forward to it as it was postponed from last year. This will be my second time seeing him. Can't wait!
Awesome! Enjoy!
There are certain MUST hear/own iconic albums/artists & "Every Picture Tells A Story" album is one of those.
That song put Rod on the way to greatness!!! 🌈🕊️🆙🕊️🌈 are you rapture ready???
I remember listening to Rod Stewarts Maggie May in the early 70s cruising in my custom van, vans were popular back then. And even after all this time, when I hear this song, for a reason that I don’t remember, it takes me back to an intersection near my home where I grew up.
Only Rod could make a mandolin cool
... and John Paul Jones.
Give a listen to Led Zeppelin's
Going to California live from Earl's Court.
And bagpipes
R.E.M. says what’s wrong with “Losing My Religion” that it’s not cool?
A ton of people make the mandolin cool.
Mandolins have always been most cool even when they weren't considered "cool."
Hard to believe you didn't know about this monster hit of Rod's. Not only is he a rocker from the 60s, but he is still going and his live concerts are fantastic. So many hits, so many women, he is late 70s now and still performing live and on records.
Not everybody is an old fart of the Rod Stewart era. How many songs from the 30s can you even name ?
Rood Stewart wrote and sang " Never Give Up On A Dream", it is wong devoted to Terry Fox and the Marathon of Hope original run.
Great rabbit hole to go down.. he is in a group.. the faces ...stay with me.. a great song
This is my favorite Rod Stewart song and possibly my favorite 79’s song! I am a big fan!
For the catalog. At the end of the 70s, Rod released a live double album (Absolutly Live). It hit like a bomb back then. Listen to it first and then do some more research. And never forget "Live". He's even better live than in the studio. Have fun.🎵🎼💖☮
Rod Stewart ~ unique, fun, humor
I'd like you to hear "(I know) I'm Losing You" by Rod ...raspy voice rocking out. It's a cover of a Temptations song.
First smash by Rod in America. One of my clearest memories of that time was being in the mall and hearing this over the sound system. 13 years old, rocking out to the song, totally mesmerized and thinking that somehow this song was changing me. Half the lyrics went right over my head!
1st big hit for "Hot" Rod! Thanks for your reaction.
That was the sound of a mandolin. You can also hear Austin Brown playing mandolin at the beginning of Skull and Bones. A mandolin is frequently used in portraying medieval times.
That stringed instrument at the end is the Mandolin...mainly used in old American Blue Grass, and Country music.....glad you enjoyed it.
Maggie May was my mantra
Enjoyed your reaction. Rod Stewart is a deep dive. .
A live version is always best with Rod. He's interesting and a dynamic performer.
EXACTLY..
This song has special meaning for me, I lived it, she was 10 years older than me.
I was 17 she 37 ya I loved being used 😂
@@ernievarela578216 and 36 for me
😂
Cool pick guys... he was one of my teenage favorites... "Tonight's the Night" was also a big hit in the 70's... I believe Rod used to play soccer and is a big fan of the game..
A free concert headlined by Rod Stewart at Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, on New Year's Eve 1994 reportedly attracted an audience of at least 3.5 million people-seven times the number who showed up for Woodstock. He must be doing something right. You need to check out "Mandolin Wind"
I saw him in 1975 in Dayton. BOC opened, which seemed an odd pick. Stewart’s entire stage was dressed in white. He wore a white tux. Orchestrate also in white. Played every classic. A top performer.
This hit song was the song that made Rod famous
This might be the most unauthentic reaction channel I’ve ever watched. And that’s saying a lot. 😂
And yet you keep coming back to comment for some reason 🤔
Great song and album, one of the first albums (Reason to Believe) I ever owned, his early songs are the best
For Decades the mandolin was credited to Mystery Man. Within the last 5-10 years, Faces guitarist Ron Wood revealed he'd brought his friend to the studio that day. None other than Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page.
One of my favorites
Rod in concert is spectacular and he played soccer so there are soccer balls being kicked.
That instrument at the end is a mandolin!
'You Wear it Well 'another one for the ladies.
