I had a huge grin on my face throughout the second half of this video. My favorite flavor of electric guitar playing is Chuck Berry, so Ron Wood is everything I dig about guitar. I think Cindy Incidentally is an absolute perfect guitar song. So there. I've already said too much. Have you ever seen Rod live? Were you lucky enough to see the Faces? Todd builds and repairs amps for your favorite guitar players. You should check out his website and tell him Otis sent you. www.toddsharp.com/
Great video. Could not have ended it Better . "He's A Rock Star" you can definitely tell the influences of the early British rockers. Wasn't much different than our most famous early rockers here in the US. Graeat music is universal.
I saw Rod live at Poplar Creek in CHI back in 1988/89. The show opened with around a dozen guys playing bagpipes walking up and down the isles. Great show!
I saw him in Greensboro somewhere around '86. He's a great showman. He was booting soccer balls at an impressive distance into the audience. One of them went almost straight up at mach 2 and hit the overhead speaker then straight down into some unfortunate lady's head. She appeared to be OK but Rod was visibly upset and no more balls were kicked that night. I saw him again about 10 years latter and soccer balls were not part of the show. The music was great both times.
So true. I loaned out my Every Picture Tells a Story album back in the 70s and never got it back. Rod Stewart and Faces have always been one of my absolute favorite bands.
My school friend wandering in with VH1. You have to hear this!! Week of release. Same with Damn the Torpedoes. Always someone with an LP in school. Yes, Floyd, ELP, Zep etc. Education right there.
I'm American, born in Indiana in the 70s but this guy is speaking my language with the names of the British blues scene of the 60s. Alexis Korner, Baldry , Mayall Beck Ronnie Lane and all the Small Faces and Faces . This is the stuff I love . All these guys are interlinked and knew each other. Along with Peter Green, Christine Perfect, Brian Jones etc they were the ones who appreciated the blues so much that they played it when their audience was still just a handful of people around London . No money to be made from it , they just needed to play the blues.Great interview
Hello from Vancouver, BC Canada. I used to see Long John Baldry around Vancouver as he lived here and passed away here. Cool stories shared in your video !
A buddy of mine named Clive Blewchamp (RIP) had a collection of American blues records, not easily available in England, that he shared with Jagger, Richards and the Stones when they were starting out. Mick and Keith always invited him to dinner when they were in Toronto.
Of course I am Rod's number one fan hahaha. Followed him since 1971 and that might just be the best interview that I have ever heard from a band mate of Rods. I have always wanted to peer behind the drapes or behind the recording studio door to know if Rod really LOVES music, how does he create music? What is he like being on tour with? So, yes, he really loves music like we think he does and what great stories that happened on the road. and Sharp Todd, 😉, definitely did a great interview and I wish that he knew how much I appreciated it
As a Young Drummer in the 80’s , I became pals with Carmine Appice and I got to see Rod 17 or so times starting with the CAMOUFLAGE Tour…..that was one of the few acts that I dreamed of touring with!! I knew the stories and the the way the organization was run….incredible! Ended up playing with Bobby Whitlock and then Buddy Miles in the 90’s but the business was changing fast into a corporate world. Shows were never the same after Bill Graham got killed!
Thank you for these first hand stories from the people who labored to record and perform the music we have enjoyed. The bigger the story matches the saying ‘the bigger the bonfire the darkness is revealed’ and what a marvelous light is music.
'Coast to Coast: Overture and Beginners' ...an underappreciated live album from 1974, I believe. Rod Stewart and The Faces just ripping it up. Another great storyteller in Todd Sharp.
Besides being an amazing builder/ Mad scientist .. You are and always will be an amazing guitarist ..what a perfect choice you were to be in that band ,especially the pairing with you and Jeff Golub. Love you always my brother.
Long John Baldry had airplay in Cleveland with the song "Don't lay no Boogie Woogie on the King of Rock and Roll". Todd Sharp probably heard that song on WNCR which was the best radio station ever. In the seventies, when it came to rock, all roads went through Cleveland, OH. Now all we got is that shitty corporate HOF.
Thanks for the great stories about Rod. Saw Rod in Chapel Hill NC with when I was a young Marine. There were so many women at that show, I got picked up.
Saw Rod and the Faces in I think 1971, and on stage they were definitely having a party. Amazing show! And those newcomers who opened for them, Deep Purple, were pretty good too.
cannot tell you how much I enjoyed that. Faces were my idea of a band - bar on stage - ragged starts and stops and a mile deep pocket. Ronnie Lane - pure soul. Ian. Kenny. The outtakes on 5 Guys Walk into a Bar - cracking on each other. Having a laugh. Ugh. If only I'd had the talent. ;)
I only recently found out that Todd Sharp existed ( because of Guthrie Trapp). This was such a great interview - the stories and Todds experience . Thanks - excellent
Love this Otis . Jealous of your world tours/ travel playing your own stuff ;) So cool keep rocking . As a side note - Is there a better song OR a cooler story song that defined the 1970s FM rock persona than’ don’t try to lay no booogie woooogie on the king of rick and roll’?
It Ain't Easy. Fantastic album that one side was produced by Rod Stewart, the other produced by Elton John, both with their bands and studio mates performing. Rod had Ronnie and Maggie Bell and Sam Mitchell, Elton had Dee Murray and Nigel Olsson. "Don't Try To Lay No Boogie-Woogie On The King Of Rock and Roll" was the big single. The album was payback/helping hand to their mentor from SteamPacket....look that one up! Terrific episode, Otis!
Would love to hear more tales of the tours, can’t help but wonder with your great storytelling voice and sense of humor if you are also Irish American? Thanks for a unique video to you and Mr Gibbs! Keep em coming pls, I’m stilll shocked that interviewers will ask stars to this VERY day, such as Rod, Plant and Page questions like “ so how did you get your start in music?).
First of all, I did see both Rod and Jeff together by accident, and they also had along with, Nicky Hopkins and Ron Wood. I've also seen Chuck, BB, Muddy, Eric, Carlos, Buchanan, Bishop, Kath and more...I thought Rod was a poof, when he was getting ready to sing with Jeff that day in Central Park. When I heard their music, I didn't much care how he looked to me. Later, of course, Rod won the trophy wife lottery with Rachel. Life's been good to me. Thanks Otis!
Awesome I think the song is don't try to lay no boogie woogie on the king of rock n roll. I still hear it once in a while on cleveland radio. Cheers fellas from Cleveland. Love it man and rod is great saw him once. Was blown away like you said it was a rock nroll vegas show but in the best way
Great stories! Just yesterday I saw a new billboard advertising Rod Stewart is going to be at Winstar Casino in Thackerville, Oklahoma next March. Going to try to make since I've never seen him live.
Ronnie Wood and Rod were the Laurel and Hardy in the original Jeff Beck Group. Jeff just wasn’t much fun in those days, much as they loved and respected his talent. I think they were happy to leave and get in the Faces. Like you said Otis, there was a comiradery within the Faces that was rare amongst bands.
I love these stories from the old timers like me!. I started playing sax and trumpet in elementary school and moved to guitar in 87 after seeing SRV do the Sky is Crying. If you think it was cool to hear Sam Cooke in Rod's voice, next time you listen to Back in Black/Thunderstruck....try to NOT hear Elmo from Sesame street in Brians voice. You just cannot unhear it. no matter how much you love ACDC, and all 3 of their singers. (Dave, Evans, Bon, Brian)
Now I am going to go listen to Losing You, and Stay with me (a song I used to sing when I was briefly in a band, an mimic Rod to a T) Always loved Ronnie Woods playing too.
I’ve seen Rod live a few times. I have a photograph in my house of Rod being carried by the Scotland fans at Wembley in 1977 and my father in law is one of the guys carrying him. We beat England that day but Rod wasn’t very happy apparently because someone stole his watch off his arm. 😆
I think the album by Long John Baldry referred to is It Ain't Easy and Bowie covered it. The John in Sir Elton's name is from LJB. Great interview Otis. As always, thanks.
I have a friend who lives in Nashville..His name is Charlie Harrison..He played bass for Rod in the early days of Rod's career..Charlie replaced Tim Schmitt in Poco..Tim had gone over to the Eagles..
The British are coming! You get it Todd and the Brit guitarists used to visit the American Embassy in London to listen to the Alan Lomax Library of Congeress recordings as kids
Rod has a complete soccer pitch at his home in Essex UK the best pitch ever, he had his own local team of mates, asking one guy to play but to be told the guy couldn't make it because he had other commitments and wouldn't be able to get there by the motorway, No worries, Rod sent his mate a private jet, that's Rod
Long John gave Rod Stewart his first big break, after seeing him busking in a train station. I think Elton John's first big break was playing piano for Long John (I could be wrong on that one)
gOOD CHAT Lads ,love to hear personal stories about the boys .these ae the people that made the music for me , ive seen ROD , MR BECK , Stones mic taylor ,Long John ,first time i saw Baldry he played 3 1/2 hours / kathi MACDONALD ,ANOTHER time i saw him he came on at 1-30 am and played until 7-2o am . with a 45 min,break in the middle . all in east coast Canada .
Rod Stewarts' autobio is worth reading. After his cancer surgery he couldn't sing for six months. He brought his band to his garage after the times up daily and built his voice back up, sometimes only. doing a song or two. He was not sure he would ever be able sing again like before. He and I (and Pat Benatar ) share the same Jan 10 birthday. We all plug away.
I recomend any faces fans should check out previous incarnation small faces there back catalogue the lead singer steve Marriott was a phenomenal singer guitarist check out album Ogden's nut gone flake steve formed humble pie with peter frampton great band,
Rod Stewart nor most of this is my jam particularly but one of the many things that makes Otis channel great is every video is interesting..every tlme inl click on one with a title not in my sphere of usual interest or taste sometimes thinking it won't make me wanna rewind when i miss some thing or space out or get distracted i still wind up going back lol.. anyways rod has more women screaming emoting enjoying in one row of one show not to mention entire show and career than most of us ever connect with in our entire lives. Lol ...one of my favs beyond these stories is from about the only living comedian I love roy wood jr who has an absolutely hysterical bit that brings me probably yall and roy on stage to laughing tear level...about finally taking his mom who amusingly refers to as Joyce and as a good story teller does paints a vivid image for us of so anyways there ar a big department store in London maybe Lloyd's whatever and hes treating Joyce tryna make her happy..theres a button on the elevator saying that floor is closed so of couree Joyce pushes that one its marked closed or private Joyce doesnt care...adding joyce and Roy are very Alabama Roy is tryna keep Joyce out of trouble the brits are struggling to get her to understand the entire floor is closed for a private shopper and then tells us Joyce is one of many women in life with .. yup rod Stewart.... so when she finds out thats whos shopping she refuses to lewve and the bit just gets really hysterical from there .anyways gotta respect cats like that even if it isnt our thing. Thanks brother otis et fam

I bet there are some GREAT Ron Wood stories floating around. Todd Sharp is a great interview/storyteller.
Great video. Could not have ended it Better . "He's A Rock Star" you can definitely tell the influences of the early British rockers. Wasn't much different than our most famous early rockers here in the US. Graeat music is universal.
I saw Rod live at Poplar Creek in CHI back in 1988/89. The show opened with around a dozen guys playing bagpipes walking up and down the isles. Great show!
Love Faces, Rod, Ron, all of em. Never really dug Ron Wood that much until I went back to Ronnie and Rod... now I know.
I saw him in Greensboro somewhere around '86. He's a great showman. He was booting soccer balls at an impressive distance into the audience. One of them went almost straight up at mach 2 and hit the overhead speaker then straight down into some unfortunate lady's head. She appeared to be OK but Rod was visibly upset and no more balls were kicked that night. I saw him again about 10 years latter and soccer balls were not part of the show. The music was great both times.
I remember the respect I had when borrowing someone’s album back in the 70’s. It was a measuring stick for friendship.
Absolutely! I used to make compilation tapes like crazy. I loved the era when gate fold albums had a faint smell of weed.....
@ Back in the days of sticks and seeds.
So true. I loaned out my Every Picture Tells a Story album back in the 70s and never got it back. Rod Stewart and Faces have always been one of my absolute favorite bands.
I remember that as well. I miss those days.
My school friend wandering in with VH1. You have to hear this!! Week of release. Same with Damn the Torpedoes. Always someone with an LP in school. Yes, Floyd, ELP, Zep etc. Education right there.
Long John Baldrys' Awesome album, "It ain't easy" with "Don't try to lay no Boogie Woogie on the King of Rock and Roll"
I could listen to Todd's stories all day long. Thanks, Todd and Otis!

Todd is the man…Nov. 10, 1977…I saw Rod Stewart launch soccer balls 3/4 across the Greensboro NC Coliseum and into the upper deck…heck of a show!
Hello from Vancouver, BC Canada. I used to see Long John Baldry around Vancouver as he lived here and passed away here. Cool stories shared in your video !
Rod Stewart's records from 1968- 78 are all fantastic! PLAY LOUD
i agree remember ATLANTIC CROSSING ALBUM
EPTAS is one of the greatest rock albums ever
What a great guest and musician. He's an awesome storyteller. Thank you, Otis!
A buddy of mine named Clive Blewchamp (RIP) had a collection of American blues records, not easily available in England, that he shared with Jagger, Richards and the Stones when they were starting out. Mick and Keith always invited him to dinner when they were in Toronto.
Really like Todd's stories...thanks!
Todd’s success as a hired gun guitar slinger is such a great story thanks so much Otis.

how cool is this that we get to hear all this outstanding lore from a true master of the art!
Thank you for these first hand stories from the people who labored to record and perform the music we have enjoyed. The bigger the story matches the saying ‘the bigger the bonfire the darkness is revealed’ and what a marvelous light is music.
Todd has lived some great stories!
Todd is a great guy had the please of meeting him a few times …. Very humble and down to earth …
What a fun, and informative video Otis! Thanks for making this video!
Otis, this guy is the real deal. Such great stories. Imagine flying around the world with Rod Stewart? Holy Crap!!!!
Wow! Amazing stories. Thanks for doing these.
Thanks Otis. Great stuff , much appreciated.
'Coast to Coast: Overture and Beginners' ...an underappreciated live album from 1974, I believe. Rod Stewart and The Faces just ripping it up. Another great storyteller in Todd Sharp.

Yes brother. Let's play some. Love you back
Todd is such a great guest.
This guy is the f'ing coolest
I have no musical talent whatsoever, but i love listening to these old stories! Long Live Rock n Roll
Long John Baldry had airplay in Cleveland with the song "Don't lay no Boogie Woogie on the King of Rock and Roll". Todd Sharp probably heard that song on WNCR which was the best radio station ever. In the seventies, when it came to rock, all roads went through Cleveland, OH.
Now all we got is that shitty corporate HOF.
Wow, he’s played with some pretty big names. Love Rod Stewart ballads. I had a friend who loved Maggie May so much se named her daughter Maggie.
Thank you, Otis 🙏🏻
Nothing quite like the stories from those who were there
I'm enjoying these interviews with Todd
Be good to you 🙏🏻🤍
Thanks for the great stories about Rod. Saw Rod in Chapel Hill NC with when I was a young Marine. There were so many women at that show, I got picked up.
Another fabulous interview.
Again Otis, Thanks brother, Love these interviews and Stories 👍
Rod and Long John Baldry played together in a band called ‘Steampacket’ with Julie Driscoll in around ‘65 or ‘66.
Love Todd. Love his songs and playing!
Thanks Otis!Love you Brother. Big Faces Rod Steward fan here in Austin
Saw Rod and the Faces in I think 1971, and on stage they were definitely having a party. Amazing show! And those newcomers who opened for them, Deep Purple, were pretty good too.
Amazingly great interview.
cannot tell you how much I enjoyed that. Faces were my idea of a band - bar on stage - ragged starts and stops and a mile deep pocket. Ronnie Lane - pure soul. Ian. Kenny. The outtakes on 5 Guys Walk into a Bar - cracking on each other. Having a laugh. Ugh. If only I'd had the talent. ;)
I only recently found out that Todd Sharp existed ( because of Guthrie Trapp). This was such a great interview - the stories and Todds experience . Thanks - excellent
fantastic. thanks guys.
Besides the Faces stuff, my very favorite Rod album is Atlantic Crossing. Soo groovin'!
Marvelous interview. Fascinating from beginning to end. Todd's an excellent storyteller and the stories are wonderful. Here's to hoping for more!
I was around Rod once, he was super nice.
Could listen to this dude all day
Fabulous interview. Some great stuff in there. Thanks.
Thanks Otis! Todd is very engaging. Real deal memories.
awusome interview
Outstanding stuff! Thanks Todd! And thanks Otis!!
In addition to being a great player and raconteur Todd has a great head of hair! LOL
Agent Skot from Montana here. I've met Katja Rieckermann and Don Teschner lives around here. I hope to meet Rod someday, he's a real class act.
Fantastic! Thanks Otis and Todd.
Fabulous interview!
Long John Baldry is the guy who saved Elton John's life tonight in that song.
Love this Otis . Jealous of your world tours/ travel playing your own stuff ;) So cool keep rocking . As a side note - Is there a better song OR a cooler story song that defined the 1970s FM rock persona than’ don’t try to lay no booogie woooogie on the king of rick and roll’?
Great interview.
Thanks Todd & Otis
Thanks for this.
Once again; Todd is the coolest.
You are a great storyteller, Todd. Thank you for your recent work on the Blackface Pro Reverb. It is tone heaven to me.
This is a great interview.. Cool guy.
Otis great stories...see you down the road..
I clicked on this hoping for a new Ron Wood story.
Excellent. Thankyou.

Otis! You've done it again!
Seen Rod in Bham Alabama great show. Matter of fact Im going to check out some of his music right now. Great Video Otis.
Cyril Davis was big part of the original London blues scene. Vocalist with Alexis Korner
Man this is a great story
Love the Woody & Rod story
Damn .. this was good! Thanks Otis! Once a’gane! like Merle Kilgore used to say.
Awesome I think the song is don't try to lay no boogie woogie on the king of rock n roll. I still hear it once in a while on cleveland radio. Cheers fellas from Cleveland. Love it man and rod is great saw him once. Was blown away like you said it was a rock nroll vegas show but in the best way
Don't try to lay no boogie-woogie on the king of rock & roll....RIP, Long John Baldry....
You beat me me to it which is why I always check the comments for a sharp ear.
Baldry was a huge influence and talent scout.
Great stories! Just yesterday I saw a new billboard advertising Rod Stewart is going to be at Winstar Casino in Thackerville, Oklahoma next March. Going to try to make since I've never seen him live.

I think the album by Long John Baldry referred to is It Ain't Easy and Bowie covered it. The John in Sir Elton's name is from LJB. Great interview Otis. As always, thanks.
Like many of your interview subjects, I’ve never heard of this cat but he is so damned interesting!
I have a friend who lives in Nashville..His name is Charlie Harrison..He played bass for Rod in the early days of Rod's career..Charlie replaced Tim Schmitt in Poco..Tim had gone over to the Eagles..
2000 ish - At New Orleans House of Blues caught Todd in Delbert McClinton’s band. They wrecked the house.
I remember Todd playing that red James Tyler Strat with Rod.
✔Excellent. Some Bob Welch or Dr John stories would great as well.
The British are coming! You get it Todd and the Brit guitarists used to visit the American Embassy in London to listen to the Alan Lomax Library of Congeress recordings as kids
Rod has a complete soccer pitch at his home in Essex UK the best pitch ever, he had his own local team of mates, asking one guy to play but to be told the guy couldn't make it because he had other commitments and wouldn't be able to get there by the motorway, No worries, Rod sent his mate a private jet, that's Rod
I was fortunate enough to see him and Faces 4 x early 70's. Quite the live band
Cool as hell. I wonder if Todd played on Rod's version of "Cigarettes and Alcohol?"
Long John gave Rod Stewart his first big break, after seeing him busking in a train station. I think Elton John's first big break was playing piano for Long John (I could be wrong on that one)
You are right!
I owe Rod $8.50 for sneaking in to see Faces at the cow palace in SF.
gOOD CHAT Lads ,love to hear personal stories about the boys .these ae the people that made the music for me , ive seen ROD , MR BECK , Stones mic taylor ,Long John ,first time i saw Baldry he played 3 1/2 hours / kathi MACDONALD ,ANOTHER time i saw him he came on at 1-30 am and played until 7-2o am . with a 45 min,break in the middle . all in east coast Canada .
