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!!
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!
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.
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...
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).... 😀
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.
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?!
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.
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....
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.
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.
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.
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. ruclips.net/video/14AgJJKCKEA/видео.html
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.
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.
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."_*
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
The thing is...This song is a cheeky rocker but Rod Stewart and Faces could do serious and even romantic songs like Reason To Believe, First Cut is the Deepest and Every Picture Tells a Story (among others)...they could do it all
Two late greats in the Faces worth calling out for their incredible work: Ronnie Lane on bass and Ian "Mac" McLagan on keys. I had the pleasure and honor of meeting Mac several times before he died in 2014, and he was one of the sweetest, funniest guys ever (and his autobiography, All The Rage, is a blast).
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!!
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.
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
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......
Faces came out of the remains of Small Faces, which featured Steve Marriott on vocals (Small Faces was so named because the members were all less than 5'7" tall). Marriott left and formed Humble Pie and the remaining members picked up Rod Stewart and Ronnie Wood. They played together from 1969 until 1975, concurrently with Stewart's solo career. After the Faces broke up, Ronnie Wood was picked up by The Rolling Stones, Stewart continued his solo career, Kenney Jones took over the drum kit for The Who after Keith Moon's death, and the other members had modest solo careers on their own. There's another video from this same show for (I Know) I'm Losing You, which features not only a truly solid overall performance, but a master class from Jones on how to play a drum solo without ever losing the groove. Worth a listen.

You know that's Ronne Wood on Guitar from the Stones. right Jamel?....ya gotta give Ron some love!
Thank you so much for this ❤
I'm losing you
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.
The newest Stone 😆

"Yes, I'll pay your cab fare home

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!

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!!
Ditto...mine too...Glasgow ¹974
Lucky, lucky!
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
I love that song! Doesn’t get enough attention.
The only thing missing in this performance is, "Sit down, get up, get out!" I live for that line in the recording.
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.
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.

"A Nod is as good as a wink to a blind horse." Now that's rock and roll.
That’s Ronnie Wood before The Stones and before that he played bass for Jeff Beck!

Actually, he joined the Beck group in '67 on bass and then Faces in '69. Keef asked him to join the Stones in 1975.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Check out the version of "I'm Losing You" they did from the same show.
Ron Wood, Ronnie Lane, the best band of all time.
Listen to the bass.
And that was pure rock n roll live, and they were enjoying it. Modern contrived groups...watch and learn.....
So much more greatness, please don’t stop!
Every Picture Tells a Story
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.
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
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
The thing is...This song is a cheeky rocker but Rod Stewart and Faces could do serious and even romantic songs like Reason To Believe, First Cut is the Deepest and Every Picture Tells a Story (among others)...they could do it all
Tonight's the Night
Rod's "Every Picture Tells A Story" is a must react to.
Two late greats in the Faces worth calling out for their incredible work: Ronnie Lane on bass and Ian "Mac" McLagan on keys. I had the pleasure and honor of meeting Mac several times before he died in 2014, and he was one of the sweetest, funniest guys ever (and his autobiography, All The Rage, is a blast).
Top comments, that book is fantastic.....
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!!
"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!
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.
This whole concert is great. For sure you should watch in your free time.
I knew the “stank face” was gonna come out during the verse.
Yep...
That's Rod.
Let's just say "His reputation preceded him" and it didn't matter a bit.
Jamel, I think you mean "groupies!!" This was my favorite song from them. The tempo changes, the break downs, etc. Awesome!
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.
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.
His guitarist Ron Wood went on to play with The Rolling Stones.
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
im just from this era ,but im really glad you appreciate this music .Its for ever music.
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!
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......
Now THAT is rock and roll, my man!
You Wear It Well is another great Rod Stewart song!!!!
You should actually listen to the studio version. It's better.
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.
Remember having that album back in the day. Listened to that vinyl LP for many hours.
Grateful for you and your channel 🙏
I adore watching you listen to my music! I can't say that enough I wish all young people would watch this channel!
They call 'em groupies Jamel, nudge nudge, wink, wink, know what I mean!
People get ready with Jeff beck
Faces came out of the remains of Small Faces, which featured Steve Marriott on vocals (Small Faces was so named because the members were all less than 5'7" tall). Marriott left and formed Humble Pie and the remaining members picked up Rod Stewart and Ronnie Wood. They played together from 1969 until 1975, concurrently with Stewart's solo career. After the Faces broke up, Ronnie Wood was picked up by The Rolling Stones, Stewart continued his solo career, Kenney Jones took over the drum kit for The Who after Keith Moon's death, and the other members had modest solo careers on their own.
There's another video from this same show for (I Know) I'm Losing You, which features not only a truly solid overall performance, but a master class from Jones on how to play a drum solo without ever losing the groove. Worth a listen.
rod stewart is one of my favorite all time
thanks again jamel, for the celebration
