Ronnie Wood's tone is filthy, nasty, and one of the best guitar sounds I've ever head. God I love his playing! Faces was a kick-ass band, and every member of the band was a legendary, epic level musician.
Transcending tune . When I was a teen some 30 years ago and dance music and Hip hop were the dominant emerging musical genres , I would spend hours trying to master this on my guitar .
For one blindingly dazzling moment, this was the world's greatest rock and roll band. Rod sings Mick under the table here, and Keith could never get Ronnie's "fat sound" demonstrated so powerfully in this, perhaps, the most commanding intro in rock history. And then, of course, the whole thing went to hell. Wood's performance helped cement his gig with the Stones, and Rod needed to know if he was sexy. Even the inimitable Tetsu Yamaguchi couldn't save it, try as he might, following "A Nod's as Good as a Wink to a Blind Horse." Anything this good isn't meant to last. So, every now and then, I come back to enjoy a taste of what could have been. As a concluding aside, watch as Ronnie Laine nearly loses his head at the onset to Rod's mic stand and then goes on to play one of the nastiest bass lines known to man, woman, or beast.
Everything you wrote, was intelligently written because it was all true. At least that's the way I read it🌹. When I go on RUclips every once in a while I come across a person like yourself who was there, who saw the potential of Rod, Ronnie and the others to become what they are today. These days🌹. I love to hear the stories in the knowledgeable way that you described it. I was never in the music industry, I just liked what I heard . Your comment seemed to be telling me, you were right in the middle of it.all 😮 I love those kind of comments. That you just wrote I am actually hearing it from person who was standing right there🕊️ watching to see what these young boys were going to become with regard to their musical talents. 💥Thank you! I love a good reading and that's exactly what you gave me. Finally, I got to read something worth reading. Thx💐💐 Have a great day!😊
That opening guitar riff by Ronnie Wood has to be one of greatest in the history of rock and roll. If it doesn't make you nod your head and put a grin on your face then you've come to the wrong video. Great stuff.
The Faces and the Small Faces were amazing and wild and raunchy live compared to on record. The Small faces were more ‘mods’ on album but live they could raunch out and be bluesey like the Yardbirds. Ronnie Lanes bass was driving. And Kenny Jones on Drums and Ian Maclagen on keyboard. He played with the Stones and toured with them. And of course Woody. I always wished the Stones would play this live for a hoot. He’ll they did Love Train by the O Jays live. It was great.
Imagine if this group stayed together. We'd be talking top 5 bands of all-time. While their time together was short-lived, they put out some great songs. Very tight band.
The genius of Rod Stewart here is that even being the extroverted showman that he is he doesn't try to hog the limelight from this incredible band. If only Axl Rose and David Lee Roth had learned that lesson......
It's all personal opinion from you & that's cool...however you feel is well on you not everyone is feeling that way and that's the deal dude...is it possible you've posted personal opinions without being backstage with the band and knowing intimately how they bandmates that is used the leads too achieve fame and overlooked alot. Assumption redressed as a opinion you deem as a fact because your way of viewing a powerful lead male in a major band in a powerful medium like music? I gotta feeling you know that but we all view differently. I worked with all of them for short periods of time & aside from big egos they take in big blame for things viewed by fans who have no full idea what bandmates really felt Truthfully they don't care... they know you can't please everybody fan or otherwise... We can agree to disagree and just enjoy the tunes.
The legend goes that Rod Stewart was reluctant to leave the band to his solo career because they were such good friends and had an amazing time when toghether
Omg I knew that voice in a dollar store in Alabama..... my mom let me stay in the store to hear the song , and it’s always been me favorite. Thanks mom she been gone for 3 years, but she always looked good music. Love and miss you!!
Sounds like a fuzz face into a treble booster into a mildly overdriven amp, I could be wrong but the clipping characteristics are very reminiscent of a fuzz face style circuit.
Fans of both the Small Faces and the Faces have to love this track. It combines everything that was great about the Small Faces rhythm section: the criminally underrated Kenney Jones, the melodic bass playing of Ronnie Lane, and the jazzy wurlitzer electric piano work of Ian MacLagan, and replaces the irreplaceable vocals and guitar of Steve Marriott with the vocals of Rod 'The Mod' Stewart and the guitar work of slide master and future Stone Ronnie Wood. Mind you, Stewart and Woody had just left the Jeff Beck Group. Needless to say, they pulled it off. The Faces were known as the sloppiest, drunkest band on the planet, sort of the Replacements of the 70's, and they didn't hold it together for long. But, while they were here, they were The Baddest Band on the Planet!
Just came across this whilst educating my 26 year old daughter why Barry Manilow and Rod Stewart are NOT “like the same person” 🤦🏼♀️ you sing a few moldy oldies in your advancing years and suddenly you “both have big noses and bad hair” and you’re Barry Manilow I can’t even
-LOL You obviously don't know how BBC TV worked back then. Rod and Drummer are live. However if you look closely there are no leads plugged into either guitar and I doubt even Ian MacLagan's piano is plugged in, and radio packs weren't a thing back then. Blame the Musicians Union but they wouldn't let them play live, but could do it to a pre-recorded track. I used to think Old Grey Whistle Test was a cut above Top of the Pops as they played live. Many years later my teenage illusions were shattered when I learned exactly the same methods were used on OGWT. I believe Lynyrd Skynyrd's performance was the the first actual live performance on OGWT.- That said it's a BLOODY BRILLIANT song, a CLASSIC. EDIT I stand corrected.
@@clansome Watch a better quality version of this video, and not only can you see the leads for both guitars but if you watch Ron and Ronnie's fingers closely you can see they are exactly matched to the sounds coming from their instruments. This is definitely all live. Better quality video: ruclips.net/video/UtD8_iEgNvA/видео.html
@@HatFog I stand corrected. I assumed that like TOTP & OGWT it had been done to Musician Union rules. In fact it's from a single season Series called Sounds for Saturday and this was Episode 2 broadcast on April 1 1972. There is a full version of the episode (in 480p) at ruclips.net/video/GdHLG_TTRCs/видео.html Thanks for the correction.🤐🤦♂
Rod Stewart and Faces was my first concert in Boston. I treasure that memory ! People smoking pot......in the venue....I was just out of H.S. and didn't smoke or drink but I was so excited ! ❤ May 1973 in the Boston Garden.........
The Olle Garden was a great arena despite not so great acoustics to see a show because it was just as gritty as the music . I saw many a show there too numerous to mention much less remember haha right up until 1980 . Pink Floyd in 75 could never be topped. I’ll leave it @ that . 😎
I can't get enough of this video, I swear these guys nailed this one dead on, with the breaks in this song it's amazing how well they timed it. I have to say even though I am a Stones lover, this is the best live version of any rock song I have ever heard.
The 1970's, more great music per square inch than any other decade in the history of mankind. And I got to see it, sorry about anyone's luck that didn't. And the Quaaludes.....oh God the Quaaludes, the old Disco Biscuits 🤪🤪🤪.
@@dukecraig2402 the 70's were the best years ever. Wish we could time warp back there. I never got into the drug scene tho. I only know the name quaaludes bc isn't that what Bill Cosby used to drug his victims?
@@ksc743 Rock, Soul, Funk, R&B. All those were around in the 70's and all of them were on top of their game then, they were all in their golden age at the same time, what a decade it was for music.
@@ksc743 And that narrative about Bill Cosby "drugging and victimizing" women with Lude's is a bunch of nonsense, it's just an easy sell to people who weren't part of that scene back then and don't know better. A lot of things about the world were different back then, the party scene in particular, back in those days if you were a guy and you went to a party and had a pocket full of Lude's half the chick's in the place would be chasing you around wanting to "hook up" with you for the night hoping you'd give them some, and people weren't at parties back then just for drugs, sex was a big part of the lifestyle back in those days to, it was the era of sex, drugs and Rock n Roll, and to look at it through today's lenses and judge someone through them is wrong. Those women accusing him of that are nothing but opportunists looking for a payday. You can bet there's women out there in the world that if you ask them about me back in those days they'd smile and say we had some good times back then, but if I hit on a $300,000,000 lottery ticket the narrative would change to "He date raped me with a drug and I've been traumatized ever since, it ruined my life boo hoo hoo, but a couple million dollars and I'll get over it". People like me know better because we were around back then, EVERYONE was there for the party back then, it was a wild time and everyone was enjoying themselves, people don't get that there's people in the world that their lives haven't turned out the way they wanted them to, so when presented with the opportunity to point their finger at someone rich and shed some crocodile tears in the hopes of getting a payday that'll solve a bunch of their problems in life they're going to do it. Lude's were big pills so the idea that someone could "slip" one to someone else is just ridiculous, that leaves us with voluntarily eating them, and you can bet every one of those women he gave one to had already eaten them and knew dam well what the effects were, like I said everyone was there for the party back in those days and getting hammered up and having sex was the theme of the day. Times were different back then and to judge someone's actions back then by today's standards especially when the flavor of the week is all that hashtag this and that going around is wrong. All those women accusing Bill Cosby of this and that can't sell that nonsense to me, I was around back then and I know exactly what was going on at the time, especially with the "party girls" back then, they were just as wild and just as aggressive as guy's were back then, it was also the new age of "women's liberation" back then and they weren't going around with that "babe in the woods" thing, all of the sudden it was ok for them to be as sexually aggressive as men and that's exactly what they were doing back then, enjoying their new empowerment's, but now some of them looking for a payday are trying to play it that they were these sweet innocent nieve things that were taken advantage of and it's a bunch of bull.
@@dukecraig2402 wow, hit a nerve there with you did I. Like you, I grew up in the 70s and yes, although it was a more sexually permissive age for women, that doesn't mean to say women would have sex with anyone wanting it. That may be your recollection but it's patently false. Sure, women had choice but it was still a very misogynistic age where men viewed women as second class citizens - just as you Still view them in 2022 (50 YEARS later) judging by your comments. Even if we wanted sex that doesn't mean to say men could get it from us when and where they pleased. Sex is a consensual act. If you BOthered to watch Cosby's trial At All, he admitted to drugging his victims without their consent (pills can be crushed into powder you know). The women testified to waking up and having Zero recollection how they got there nor any recollection of sex. They just saw they were naked and knew from their physical symptoms they knew they'd been SA. Imagine SA'ng an unresponsive body?? You have to be one very sick pos to do that. Even with all his money to protect him and buy support and witnesses, the courts found him guilty of SA. It doesn't get more convincing than that.
A few years back, Simon Mayo on Radio 2, played this as his opening track. Once finished he came out with the wonderful line, ' Well we might as well pack up and go home, cos he ain't gonna get better than that tonight." Damn right.
This was a band at the top of their game. Absolutely fukn brilliant performance. No sign of the superb Ronnie Lanes MS in this clip especially his lightning sharp reflexes at 0.17 when he avoids Rod Stewarts mic stand :)
"Most of the discourse surrounding Lane inevitably focuses on 1965-73, the period when he was the bass player in the Small Faces, and then the Faces. And fair enough. Lane co-wrote the majority of the former's hits, he gave the latter the heartbreaking Debris and wryly romantic Ooh La La, and his input in both bands went way beyond songwriting. No shrinking violet, he nonetheless balanced their innate boisterousness with heart, soul, warmth and wit. Rod Stewart called him the "backbone" of the Faces. When he left in June 1973 they quickly fell apart." Guardian
"If Lane still doesn't get full credit for his role in two groups dominated by their turbo-charged vocalists, his post-Faces career is even more badly undervalued. A new anthology confirms that he did some of his greatest work in the mid-70s with Slim Chance, a loose rustic-rock band he built in his own image, the good-time exterior masking genuine soulfulness." Guardian Show less REPLY
I keep coming back to this.. I believe this was recorded in 1971. It is a magnificent film of a band at its very best and Rod as king of his world. He left to go solo and the Faces were fatally damaged. A tragedy really.. If you didn't get this.. you didn't get r&r. Fabulous. WF
I so love this.. and it has had a lot of airtime and movie usage and stuff over the years. The 70's were my time really and I saw Rod and the Faces 3 times before he went solo and Rod again after that. The Faces were at the top of their game and when Rod left, they were terminally damaged. A great shame. Rod was a magnificent showman and performer. Wonderful. This song haunts me.. I should have it as my theme tune.? WF
He did not leave The Faces to go Solo William. He actually had a solo contract that he put on hold for the Faces. The Faces broke up when Ronnie Wood joined the Rolling Stones.
Raindogg TV Well, well.. All these 40 odd years I have believed the things that I wrote above.. and put them out as I have here. Well done yourself.. and thanks for that. WF
So correct sir. One of the best lineups to take the stage. What the he'll happened? They could have surpassed th Beatles and the Stones...and I'm a fan of all.
This song is an absoulte standout by the Faces. It's loud and has a punk feel that I like. When this song would come up while I was driving, I never hesitated to turn it up. The rhythms in this song are killer.
I can't think of a song better than this that to me defines what rock n roll is...Everything is perfect, what a guitar sound, what a bass sound, what a keyboard sound, what vocals, what drumming....
This is rock and roll perfection . The funky rhythm, the dynamic arrangement , the images conjured up in the lyrics ( Stay with me ..but don't be here in the morning ) Rod's gravelly voice, the great keyboard work , Ronnie's slide work ,the bass etc..I think this is among the classics of Rock and Roll songs
And now is a good time to remember that American soul singer Sam Cook was young Rod's inspiration, so crooning was always a part of the package. Yes, what Chuck Berry and Little Richard were to the Beatles, Muddy Waters was to the Rolling Stones, Sam Cook and other R&B singers were to Rod Stewart and Steve Marriot.
@@johnmccormick8159 You are right my friend. It required the white british blokes to open up American's eyes to the great soul music born in our very own country.
I just want to say that I was blessed to have been born when I was because I got to enjoy the very best musical talent our world has to offer...and I love that straight ahead rock and roll...I love music...and the wonderful people who have inspired me to become a musician...
I never realized how much of a fan I was of the Faces', because I only mainly remember Rod Stewart', but when I was a toddler about 3 years old, I used to listen to all these songs when my mom played them on her stereo everyday as she cleaned house, and I just jammed on the couch, rocking back and forth, non stop through every song she played'.
Back in the late 80s- early 90s when I was a little boy my mother used to play the best of rod Stewart In her Audi 5000 and Legend by Bob Marley and slow hand by Eric Clapton I didn't listen to Raffi (while she did get me the tape) this is what I was into I thank my mother to this day for being the coolest mom ever and I think that's why I work in the entertainment business now because of my love of music! this is One of the most quintessential rock songs of all time in my opinion thanks ma Enjoy 😊
Love all the yelling and woo-ing between band mates...even on the recorded version. Even as a kid hearing my dad play this I got a sense that these guys were having fun. My father playing this type of music back in the 70's was the reason I became a musician.
I think I listen to this song about 20 times a week. The studio release is simply perfect. The bit after Ian's solo in the outro when the Ronnies hit that 3 note crunch gets me every single time.
I love the amazing sense of fun-the musicians roaming around, ron wood signalling the drummer when he was ready to crank out a riff-he and ron lane looking at each other with sheer joy as they coordinated their guitar licks-loose and swinging!

This song teeters on the edge of spinning out of control but it never does. It’s one of the most brilliant songs of the rock era.

True rock stars. Not a huge fan of Stewart’s solo stuff but as a front man he’s a beast
If you haven't heard then check out his covers of All Shook Up and Jailhouse Rock on Beckola by Jeff Beck.
youre spot on with that assessment of rod stewart
It was downhill after Maggie May, but his early solo stuff was pretty good.
My favorite Singer and Song Rod Stewart is the best Singer ever!
Man I love Ronnie Lane’s bass playing. His choice of notes was always so original and made the songs even better.
👍I couldn't have said it any better.
I also applaud his instinct for ducking Rod’s mic stand.
Great stuff indeed
The Faces era was SO criminally underrated tho!!!
For me this is the best Faces track ever. Ronnie's phenomenal guitar sound lifts it to one of the all time great rock and roll songs
I agree! except i think I have heard another rendition of this track with Faces & Tina Turner & another female and i think it was even better!
I agree. I like the rhythm....

They seriously "could have" been the biggest rock band in the world. Amazing.
The mid 60s to the early 70's. Best era for music.
a long time ago, in a galaxy far away, Rod Stewart was badass
And then along came "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy"
He is so much of a fanny that even the supporters of his favourite football team can't stand the sight of him. Fraud Stewart.
@szs voc I'm just wondering genuinely what has he done
@szs voc fuck off. Sir Rod Stewart can kick ass even at 73 years old.
what are you fucking talking about?? he still is a badass
Ian McLaglan on piano is superb !!!!!
saw him at the Cheese and Grain in Frome: incredibly, that was 15 years ago: a sad loss.
Omg I knew that voice in a dollar store in Alabama..... my mom let me stay in the store to hear the song , and it’s always been me favorite. Thanks mom she been gone for 3 years, but she always looked good music. Love and miss you!!

Wonderful story. I hope your mummy RIP be well.
Woods tone is to die for here...
I’ve been trying to recreate it for years and I’m still no where close
Early 70s Ampeg V 4 they are 100 watts but disort at 4
effigyman I believe I heard something about Ron wood having a treble booster on for this song too
@Boris Johnson His Zemantis actually had a treble booster circuit inside of it
Sounds like a fuzz face into a treble booster into a mildly overdriven amp, I could be wrong but the clipping characteristics are very reminiscent of a fuzz face style circuit.
A bunch of drunks playing in saw dust, piss and bloody back street boozers! Absolutely brilliant!

@@clansome Watch a better quality version of this video, and not only can you see the leads for both guitars but if you watch Ron and Ronnie's fingers closely you can see they are exactly matched to the sounds coming from their instruments. This is definitely all live.
Better quality video:

@@HatFog I stand corrected. I assumed that like TOTP & OGWT it had been done to Musician Union rules. In fact it's from a single season Series called Sounds for Saturday and this was Episode 2 broadcast on April 1 1972. There is a full version of the episode (in 480p) at ruclips.net/video/GdHLG_TTRCs/видео.html Thanks for the correction.🤐🤦♂
......and back then you HAD to have talent to be on TV......
@@markcf83 Opportunity Knocks ?? LOL
Rod Stewart and Faces was my first concert in Boston. I treasure that memory ! People smoking pot......in the venue....I was just out of H.S. and didn't smoke or drink but I was so excited ! ❤ May 1973 in the Boston Garden.........
I saw the play at The Warehouse in New Orleans 😊
The Olle Garden was a great arena despite not so great acoustics to see a show because it was just as gritty as the music . I saw many a show there too numerous to mention much less remember haha right up until 1980 . Pink Floyd in 75 could never be topped. I’ll leave it @ that . 😎
❤😂I was 1. Jealous! Cheers!
Awww. I bet you got to see early Aerosmith too.
An anthem of the early '70's.
This song gains speed and momentum like a freight train.
Uhhhhh so.... slow? Ever seen a freight train take off? 🤣
Zeke Z Yeah-starts slow and gains speed and power. I’m sorry that metaphors are lost on you.
Yeah. Super heavy, grungy takeoff.
Greatest rock and roll song of all time. Greasy dirty and messy. Nothing better.
The faces at their very best...could any band play this good today.
The Black Crowes could
Foo Fighters tried, but failed :-)
Ever heard of king gizz?
@@harrybrown7745 never had until now. Thanks. I found this - ruclips.net/video/5RPuxO_WyHg/видео.html
@@harrybrown7745 .... I just did........ and the answer is no..... Great energy though!
Faces is one of the greatest bands of all time. They’re sounds and riffs were nothing short of genius
2020 COVID 19 quarantine, I hope my neighbors like this great song!
And if your neighbors don't like it...well, the police will arrest them for not liking it instead of you for playing it too loud.
I don't always listen to this great jam, but when I do, my neighbors listen to it also! That would of been so awesome to see this live!
I know this is to old for most of my family and friends but this is how we did it in the early seventies.
And in the early eighties with my friends!
Right on man
one of the most underrated bands of all time
bonjo8675309 i
bonjo8675309 under rated by whom
bonjo8675309 saw them in Bloomington Indiana when I was in high school! Hell yes!
I think they are in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. How is that underrated?
bonjo8675309 I do not think you know what the work underrated means.
The Faces biggest hit. Rod was the best frontman at the time. Sleazy, bluesy swagger at its finest..."Hey, what's your name again?"
I think that Chris Robinson is a combo of Rod Stewart and Mick Jagger. The Black Crowes can kick ass too.
Can you imagine life if you were blessed with a voice like that?
Preferred Steve Marriott myself!
Love Rods voice 😅
Music peaked at this point. Will never be matched again. Absolutely goated
I can't get enough of this video, I swear these guys nailed this one dead on, with the breaks in this song it's amazing how well they timed it. I have to say even though I am a Stones lover, this is the best live version of any rock song I have ever heard.
I couldn't agree more!!
@@Twilley123 I couldn't agree more, the tempo changes from and back are exceptional.
That’s why Ronnie fits in both bands, both bands are true rockers.
Lets say The Stones covered this; it would be seamless.
I don't know man, the Ya Ya's versions of Sympathy and Stray Cat Blues are up there too...
Thank you Ronnie Wood for the perfect rock-n-roll intro!!!!
One of the best opening lines ever
RIP Ian. Your badass riffs on the keys will live on forever!!!
blown22 one of the nicest most talented guys in Rock N’ Roll!!
Surely one of the best introductions in rock music.
Simply couldn’t be beaten on raw talent, that’s how we rolled in the 70’s !!
The 1970's, more great music per square inch than any other decade in the history of mankind.
And I got to see it, sorry about anyone's luck that didn't.
And the Quaaludes.....oh God the Quaaludes, the old Disco Biscuits 🤪🤪🤪.
@@dukecraig2402 the 70's were the best years ever. Wish we could time warp back there. I never got into the drug scene tho. I only know the name quaaludes bc isn't that what Bill Cosby used to drug his victims?
@@ksc743
Rock, Soul, Funk, R&B.
All those were around in the 70's and all of them were on top of their game then, they were all in their golden age at the same time, what a decade it was for music.
@@ksc743
And that narrative about Bill Cosby "drugging and victimizing" women with Lude's is a bunch of nonsense, it's just an easy sell to people who weren't part of that scene back then and don't know better.
A lot of things about the world were different back then, the party scene in particular, back in those days if you were a guy and you went to a party and had a pocket full of Lude's half the chick's in the place would be chasing you around wanting to "hook up" with you for the night hoping you'd give them some, and people weren't at parties back then just for drugs, sex was a big part of the lifestyle back in those days to, it was the era of sex, drugs and Rock n Roll, and to look at it through today's lenses and judge someone through them is wrong.
Those women accusing him of that are nothing but opportunists looking for a payday.
You can bet there's women out there in the world that if you ask them about me back in those days they'd smile and say we had some good times back then, but if I hit on a $300,000,000 lottery ticket the narrative would change to "He date raped me with a drug and I've been traumatized ever since, it ruined my life boo hoo hoo, but a couple million dollars and I'll get over it".
People like me know better because we were around back then, EVERYONE was there for the party back then, it was a wild time and everyone was enjoying themselves, people don't get that there's people in the world that their lives haven't turned out the way they wanted them to, so when presented with the opportunity to point their finger at someone rich and shed some crocodile tears in the hopes of getting a payday that'll solve a bunch of their problems in life they're going to do it.
Lude's were big pills so the idea that someone could "slip" one to someone else is just ridiculous, that leaves us with voluntarily eating them, and you can bet every one of those women he gave one to had already eaten them and knew dam well what the effects were, like I said everyone was there for the party back in those days and getting hammered up and having sex was the theme of the day.
Times were different back then and to judge someone's actions back then by today's standards especially when the flavor of the week is all that hashtag this and that going around is wrong.
All those women accusing Bill Cosby of this and that can't sell that nonsense to me, I was around back then and I know exactly what was going on at the time, especially with the "party girls" back then, they were just as wild and just as aggressive as guy's were back then, it was also the new age of "women's liberation" back then and they weren't going around with that "babe in the woods" thing, all of the sudden it was ok for them to be as sexually aggressive as men and that's exactly what they were doing back then, enjoying their new empowerment's, but now some of them looking for a payday are trying to play it that they were these sweet innocent nieve things that were taken advantage of and it's a bunch of bull.
@@dukecraig2402 wow, hit a nerve there with you did I. Like you, I grew up in the 70s and yes, although it was a more sexually permissive age for women, that doesn't mean to say women would have sex with anyone wanting it.
That may be your recollection but it's patently false.
Sure, women had choice but it was still a very misogynistic age where men viewed women as second class citizens - just as you Still view them in 2022 (50 YEARS later) judging by your comments.
Even if we wanted sex that doesn't mean to say men could get it from us when and where they pleased. Sex is a consensual act.
If you BOthered to watch Cosby's trial At All, he admitted to drugging his victims without their consent (pills can be crushed into powder you know). The women testified to waking up and having Zero recollection how they got there nor any recollection of sex. They just saw they were naked and knew from their physical symptoms they knew they'd been SA.
Imagine SA'ng an unresponsive body?? You have to be one very sick pos to do that. Even with all his money to protect him and buy support and witnesses, the courts found him guilty of SA. It doesn't get more convincing than that.
One of my all-time favorites. Ronnie Lane's bass lines are exquisite.
RIP Ian Mclagin.. keyboard maestro
Loved his Wurlitzer playing on this.
I thought that was a Fender Rhodes on top? Might be mistaken, I just started to look, hopefully my Casio CTK-7200 has something like that on it.
Those keyboards really add a lot.
They're like caged lions until Kenny sets them loose at 3.58. Absolutely brilliant
Wow! What an amazing and fitting description!
A few years back, Simon Mayo on Radio 2, played this as his opening track. Once finished he came out with the wonderful line, ' Well we might as well pack up and go home, cos he ain't gonna get better than that tonight." Damn right.
This was a band at the top of their game. Absolutely fukn brilliant performance. No sign of the superb Ronnie Lanes MS in this clip especially his lightning sharp reflexes at 0.17 when he avoids Rod Stewarts mic stand :)
Ronnie Lane was, and always will be, the man.
He was awesome!
Lefty
Ronnie Lane WAS The Faces in my opinion.
"Most of the discourse surrounding Lane inevitably focuses on 1965-73, the period when he was the bass player in the Small Faces, and then the Faces. And fair enough. Lane co-wrote the majority of the former's hits, he gave the latter the heartbreaking Debris and wryly romantic Ooh La La, and his input in both bands went way beyond songwriting. No shrinking violet, he nonetheless balanced their innate boisterousness with heart, soul, warmth and wit. Rod Stewart called him the "backbone" of the Faces. When he left in June 1973 they quickly fell apart."
Guardian
"If Lane still doesn't get full credit for his role in two groups dominated by their turbo-charged vocalists, his post-Faces career is even more badly undervalued. A new anthology confirms that he did some of his greatest work in the mid-70s with Slim Chance, a loose rustic-rock band he built in his own image, the good-time exterior masking genuine soulfulness." Guardian

A final remark! Rod is so pissed he falls off the stage! Love it! Need more of this!
This was when Rod was a REAL rock and roller! The Faces kicked ass big time.
I love the small faces with steve and the faces with mr rod it's all fairly fabulous
I keep coming back to this.. I believe this was recorded in 1971.
It is a magnificent film of a band at its very best and Rod as king of his world. He left to go solo and the Faces were fatally damaged. A tragedy really.. If you didn't get this.. you didn't get r&r.
Fabulous.
WF
I so love this.. and it has had a lot of airtime and movie usage and stuff over the years.
The 70's were my time really and I saw Rod and the Faces 3 times before he went solo and Rod again after that.
The Faces were at the top of their game and when Rod left, they were terminally damaged. A great shame.
Rod was a magnificent showman and performer. Wonderful.
This song haunts me.. I should have it as my theme tune.?
WF
***** Get off.! lol..
WF lurves R&R.. he was born with it.
WF
Same here , Rod and the faces at their best , saw them do this back in the day
He did not leave The Faces to go Solo William. He actually had a solo contract that he put on hold for the Faces. The Faces broke up when Ronnie Wood joined the Rolling Stones.

Well, well..
All these 40 odd years I have believed the things that I wrote above.. and put them out as I have here.
Well done yourself.. and thanks for that.

Rod and Ronnie had all their Christmasses arrive at once with finest rhythm section in Rock and Roll, Ronnie Lane, Ian McLagan and Kenney Jones!
So correct sir. One of the best lineups to take the stage. What the he'll happened? They could have surpassed th Beatles and the Stones...and I'm a fan of all.
I’m only 17 and I love music such as this, along with The Who and The Byrds
The only band I’ve ever seen that look like they were in it for a good time, and it actually looked like a good time. Awesome!😎
Now this is a rock and roll band!
One of the greatest rockers of all time. Still great today.
Rock and roll at its finest. Do you realize how lucky you are to dig this? Faces forever!
This song is an absoulte standout by the Faces. It's loud and has a punk feel that I like. When this song would come up while I was driving, I never hesitated to turn it up. The rhythms in this song are killer.
I can't think of a song better than this that to me defines what rock n roll is...Everything is perfect, what a guitar sound, what a bass sound, what a keyboard sound, what vocals, what drumming....
This is rock and roll perfection . The funky rhythm, the dynamic arrangement , the images conjured up in the lyrics ( Stay with me ..but don't be here in the morning ) Rod's gravelly voice, the great keyboard work , Ronnie's slide work ,the bass etc..I think this is among the classics of Rock and Roll songs
The older, crooning, sappy Rod gets a pass because of early stuff like this.
A fair assessment
true dat
He's rock's greatest interpretive singer, singing the music of his contemporaries before he turned to the standards.
And now is a good time to remember that American soul singer Sam Cook was young Rod's inspiration, so crooning was always a part of the package. Yes, what Chuck Berry and Little Richard were to the Beatles, Muddy Waters was to the Rolling Stones, Sam Cook and other R&B singers were to Rod Stewart and Steve Marriot.
@@johnmccormick8159 You are right my friend. It required the white british blokes to open up American's eyes to the great soul music born in our very own country.
Nobody does this quite like the Faces , raw , unbalanced and intoxicating just a great live band , one of the best to ever come out of Britain.
"I know your name is Rita, cause your perfumes smellin' sweeta" Rod at his BEST!!
One of THE BEST, ALL TIME Rock Songs, EVER by a Band of The SAME Qualities !!!
Never been a band more in the pocket than this... EVER. Straight up perfection.
This performance is Amazing!
I just want to say that I was blessed to have been born when I was because I got to enjoy the very best musical talent our world has to offer...and I love that straight ahead rock and roll...I love music...and the wonderful people who have inspired me to become a musician...
Kenneth Prud'homme. now that's good old raw rock and roll
Kenneth Prud'homme Me too.
Rick Rowden yes...straight up rock an fuckn roll, right there for you brother's.
I still love his hair from that period.
I never realized how much of a fan I was of the Faces', because I only mainly remember Rod Stewart', but when I was a toddler about 3 years old, I used to listen to all these songs when my mom played them on her stereo everyday as she cleaned house, and I just jammed on the couch, rocking back and forth, non stop through every song she played'.
Rock’n’Roll History right here.
Back in the late 80s- early 90s when I was a little boy my mother used to play the best of rod Stewart In her Audi 5000 and Legend by Bob Marley and slow hand by Eric Clapton I didn't listen to Raffi (while she did get me the tape) this is what I was into I thank my mother to this day for being the coolest mom ever and I think that's why I work in the entertainment business now because of my love of music! this is One of the most quintessential rock songs of all time in my opinion thanks ma Enjoy 😊
Cool mum !
They all complimented each other so well, no one does it better than the Faces
I was 17! Rock n roll has NEVER got any better than this.
Love all the yelling and woo-ing between band mates...even on the recorded version. Even as a kid hearing my dad play this I got a sense that these guys were having fun. My father playing this type of music back in the 70's was the reason I became a musician.
Pure and simple rock 'n' roll. This song kicks ass for 1000 different reasons.
True talent always rises to the top.
One of the greatest bands of ALL TIME!!!!!!!!!!!
I was today years old when I learned that Ron Wood was in Faces with Rod Stewart and played one of the best guitar riffs of all time on this song...
These guys were the fkn real deal....pure unadulterated rock 'n' roll......pity Rod had to be consumed by his own ego :( RIP Ronnie and Ian :(
Yep. I was in my early teens and bought in to it. Now I'm embarrassed.
What happened to him
Rod Stewart, robert plant,Rodger daltry,David Bowie.
Ahhhh the 70s!
Rod and Plant and Daltry are the 60"s
Greatest boogie jam ever! Topped off by Ian's incredible piano! He's wiping off sweat at the end. Just an amazing song all the way around.
RIP Ian......he was the music......
Ian's electric piano playing is a so much a part of this great number as Ronnie's guitar work is.
Xavier Roberts yeah it does can't forget about Billy now can we.
When I say I LOVE Rod Stewart, this is the 'One' I am speaking of..
Small Faces was GREAT but Faces... What a powerhouse! Top to bottom one of the greatest ever!
I can't think of tarot cards without thinking of this song.
Have had this is the car for the last 6 years and play it every day at full colume - when the wife is not there!! Just brilliant.
I've always been a big fan of Mod Rod and all his songs but this one has been my most favorite one of all that he put forth for the masses.
I think I listen to this song about 20 times a week. The studio release is simply perfect. The bit after Ian's solo in the outro when the Ronnies hit that 3 note crunch gets me every single time.
rock n roll 1971 style.. love it ... wicked ending too
I love the amazing sense of fun-the musicians roaming around, ron wood signalling the drummer when he was ready to crank out a riff-he and ron lane looking at each other with sheer joy as they coordinated their guitar licks-loose and swinging!
These guys absolutely ROCKED !! Fabulous .
I mean. Just. Bloody Marvellous!!! Rock n Roll. Beautiful. Legendary.
This song is what the guitar was invented for!
Does not get better than this.
Let's boogie!!!!

The best rock and roll song of all time the raunchiest sound you’ll ever hear the first time i heard it on my transistor radio it blew me away quality
This was the music of my aunts and uncle and it rubbed off to me I love it.
