- No video of this fantastic Top of The Pops performance by Rod and the Faces seem to show the start to the end, so here it is, from the TOTP2 2002 New Years Party special.
The Faces line up:
Rod Stewart (Vocals)
Ronnie Wood (Lead Guitar)
Ronnie Lane (Bass Guitar)
Kenney Jones (Drums)
Ian Mclagan (Organ)
John Peel (Mandolin) (was Ray Jackson on the record)
Rod explained some years later that he and the band had been drinking all day and were playing football in the BBC corridors with Slade! After trying to get into the Pans People changing room they messed around a bit more with the football and Rod said to John Peel 'do the performance with us and bring the footie!'
So here it is, a memorable performance which is top of many peoples list of classic TOTP moments, including Noel Gallaghers.

Talk about a bunch of rock legends. Rod Stewart, Kenny Jones, Ron Wood, Ronnie Lane, & Ian McLagan coming together to make a killer song.👍
Thanks to my older brother I'm still here 2024
Absolute classic
I met my wife in germany when this song came out.loved her so much until 2014 when cancer took her away from me...miss her so much
Sorry for your loss
I send you a huge hug friend 😊
I hope your still with us and doing well
😢❤
It's sad how time's fly. Someone told me at my mom's funeral years back, "we live to die!". Best wishes to Rod Stewart, his band members, and all those great musicians back in the old days who are still living that inspired us through their musical talents. RIP to those that have gone before us.
each life bring us closer to our souls destiny
All we can take with us are memories.
WTF we live to die what you talking about mister
@@steviejohn9502 we live to love...i love to live...tell him that
Rod was really athletic back then. I was just back from Vietnam (USMC) and fell in love with this song.
This was it, the song that made me fall in love with Rod Stewart. I was 12 years old, dancing around my kitchen, and loving this tune. Vietnam was raging, and the country was so divided. Thanks Rod for all the wonderful music! Back then, I wished I could be Maggie May.
Esta canción "Maggie May" la escuché por primera vez cuando tenía 16 años y me escapaba del colegio y en un ómnibus donde me iba al centro de Lima lo escuché en una radio todo el trayecto y desde de allí me encantó y nunca la olvidé hasta ahora que tengo 70 años; gracias a la tecnología y a Rod Steward lo disfruto ahora en el 2024❤.
Ronnie Wood on guitar....Rod on vocals....top dollar memories!
Takes me back to Eel Pie Island in '71/72.... hot sh#t !
"Go on John!"
Class, just class! Fabulous Rod Stewart (live), dearly, dearly missed Ronny Laine, equally dearly missed John Peel, good grief, sadly departed Micky Waller on drums, and Ronnie Wood, bless him.
That's what I'm talking about, HUGE amount of talent, yes, it's playback, yes, they're mucking around (Rod's singing live, though "come on John"), but what a legendary performance, nearly 50 years on you can feel it.
Dont you miss Steve Marriot??? ✌️✌️
@@agradewachannelamatir1759 Oh definitely, saw an interview of him from the 80´s a little while back, he was a genuinely lovely chap.
@@philgrossman660 even though I'm still the young ones,. I loved 60's,70's, and 80's... Legend never dies...😂😍🙏✌️
That’s Kenny Jones on drums. Micky Waller was in the Jeff Beck group with Rod and Ronnie and played on some of Rods solo albums.
@@johnchurch4705 Micky Waller did the drums on the recording of Maggie May, en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maggie_May and I thought that was him in the video, but I might be wrong. I know that John Peel didn't play mandolin, he just happened to be around that day and Rod & the lads invited him along
Playing soccer in the middle of the gig! - only the English God bless them! 1971 - Better times!
I'm sure Rod would be the first to point out his Scottishness 👍🏻😁
Scotch lol! X
Nice mandolins for the " Olympics" x
One of the best tracks of the early '70's. It's a shame Rod didn't stick with the band.
I was lucky to have seen The Faces so many times with Rod Stuart, Ronnie Wood, Ronny Lane, and the rest, this song takes me back to my teenage years. I got that 70’s shag, Maggie May is perfect ❤ Now my youngest son has a Shag, my siblings think he looks just like Rod Stuart, lol, he actually does, our family is extremely English 🎸👏🎤
72 years old and still listening, To rod the mod, Fantastic singer and the group what can I say. Just fantastic, You young people, Mite think I am a sad old man, Hope not, And I know some people will say about the lower case name, And call me ..........Whatever i am old but happy
As usual Rod is doing a live vocal
The Faces were a band of gifted musicians
Listening to the bass line
The drumming
And Rod’s amazing voice
What this band gave us all back then
Still a lot of amazing music about today but my teenage memories of the Faces will always remain the greatest
Good to see another person who understands how this was recorded. It is pure gold, capturing Stewart at possibly the most productive and original times of his amazing voice. Just everything about it, the timbre, the note selection, the timing and phrasing. Pure brilliance.
@@Lilliputian63yeah indeed
Rod learned so much from some amazing artists like Long John / Jeff Beck
His vocals back then I guess were his best & at a time when we recorded everything in analog
There are today many great vocals but in the digital domain I feel that they don’t give us that magic anymore
I listen to Rod using a DSM Linn streamer
Even at 192 KHZ 24 bit FLAC it’s not as good as the original analog version
Thankfully Rod’s voice and many others have been recorded in a time of excellence
Ron Wood hasn't changed. He always looks the same. RIP Ronnie Lane. I can't think of any bass player of the era that took so prominent a role in his band's songs. Love the soccer ball, when I saw him live, he booted some balls into the audience. I read that he passed up a career in pro soccer to become a singer.
There was a tape in late 80's/Earliest of 90's...Rock Legends...my Dad would play in his car driving me to school...the BEST of memories riding in a car with your hero and listening to wise knowledge needed for later life. Love you Dad x
Ronnie Lane is just the most adorable little man. Great singer too and bass player. Rest in peace Ronnie.
A true rocker and musician who sadly suffered the unfairness of life. A great Man
I dont blame him for leaving. It's not even Rod Stewart and the faces, just Rod Stewart. Ronnie didnt deserve that
Right on he was brilliant
@@bretttempleman5373 what happened?
@@stressaway-stressreliefsou4274 Ronnie Lane formed the small faces with Steve Marriot who basically deserted them to start a group called Humble Pie, after that Ronnie wood and Rod Stewart joined the group as pretty much unknowns and they were renamed the Faces, then after a few years the band start to be billed as Rod Stewart and the faces and that's when I think Ronnie Lane saw the writing on the wall and left the faces at the height of their fame. After, he formed a group called Slim Chance and I think made some really wonderful music but never got much commercial success. I'm sure there is lots more to it and I left out loads of names but that is what happened to the best of my knowledge
Look at these beautiful “Faces” I miss them and those great times of the 70’s.
When I used to listen to the song I had a crush on this little girl named Maria Rodriguez. And she loved Rod Stewart. I hated that little girl , for loving Rod Stewart. At 56 years old she still a good girl. And her sister. And her brothers. Thanks for the Memories
bring back, the voice, the time, the world-----this place hasnt been the same since!
My Mom introduced me to Rods music when I was 15 yrs old, I will be 60 yrs old in 2 wks. Mom died December 2011. Sir Rod rocks on!!!
Sir Rod rock's on and so does your mom 🤘🤘 she had taste
@@adeh503 Ty Ade, and keep rocking!
Kenny Jones and Ronnie Lane were one of the best rhythm sections of their era.
Ronnie Wood was one of the best gitarist on acid, isn't it?
I remember sitting in the TV room in the student union building at King Alfred’s College, Winchester, watching this. John Peel’s virtuoso miming was wonderful.
Rod Stewart...gorgeous man with a gorgeous voice and that HAIR. 😂
One of my favorite songs. I was in the Navy when this song came out. Always wonderful, Rod.
Seventh grade year, the fall of 1971. I was a a cheerleader and crazy in love with an 8th grader from another city about six miles away. The whole time....that fall, all of ‘72 and most of ‘73 were as close to magic as Merlin waving a wand. Miss those days
I was in 10th...good times ;-)
Best ever.. thanks for the memories.
Can't help thinking though... if Rod had've been bald.. none of this would've happened.
Happy Days.... ❤️
every instrument is vital to the whole of this song, cool that Rod is playing with vocal delivery rather than just mimic the record
Aug 9 2019
Im 60 years old now
I've been listening to Rod for Ever
What a voice
Mr5083 Remember when this song came out on AM radio nearly 50 years ago, FM wasn’t even a format in 1971. It still sounded as good yesteryear as it does now. 🤘
@@slowpoke7759 its Aug 29 2019
Im hear on you tube going back in time its Beautiful , Enjoy Everyone
Mr5083 Thanks. Blast way back in the past. Still reminds me how great the time of my life was during our school years. Had that song on 8-track tape. It was great back then.
Conrad Hodges 62 here doing the same
This is my birthday song -- was the #1 song the week that I was born!
My mom told me this when I was a kid, and I confirmed the claim via Google back in the late '90s!
Got to be one of the best performances on TOTP
I just seen it now on BbC4 ,,I have rewound it 3 times now ,,fantastic performance
Sure is. People go on about Bowie, but this does it for me!
Sure is. People go on about Bowie, but this does it for me!
Nah...T-rex "Bang a Gong" with Elton on the piano is the best.
Foolish human 🎉🎉🎉😂😂😂😂😂@@nileswillis7992
It’s 50 years ago now. Is the world a better place?
I was 13 when this song came out. The world was magical and we knew it. A million days will pass before those return.
Mother what a lover you wore me out, Kenney Jones slight smirk.... Briliant.
lovely and divine.....this is the very first song i heard of rod when i was just a small kid......thats why im a big fan of rod..thank you for the memories.......
This is as perfect a song as anyone could hope for, timeless, ahh the good old days when you could relate to music .
I was thinking that same thing 3 minutes ago while listening to Gimme Shelter. Back when you could not only relate to music, but also "relate to the times" and what was going on in the US and the world. These day's I don't even understand all of these idiotic groups, (of all colors), and what they are even fighting for. Back in the day we were all just proud Americans, and happy that we were above ground! Now I guess that isn't enough.
From the 60s into the early 70s, what a time to be growing up!!!
Linda PhillipH Fifty years went by in a few blinks of a eye. Those years were the greatest time in life and wish I had a time machine to go back, because the time went by entirely to damn fast. One thing is as real as it can be, the older you get the faster time moves.
@@slowpoke7759 Yes it did and now I am here with my darling Lin lost in October and my brother in February. Where has it all gone?
Linda PhillipH I am very sorry for the loss. But Mother Nature or Father Time, whatever the hell they call it, is the cruelest thing that occurs that can’t be stopped by any means. Everything is traveling to somewhere else and if you can grasp these words you will see them again.
God grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change, have the Courage to change the things I can and the Wisdom to know the difference.
That will lift some of that burden you have been shouldering for a while and make your steps a little easier.
@@slowpoke7759 , True that , And it sucks!.
@@ptobill , Sorry for your pain!.
Hard to believe this was nearly 50 years ago. I should know, I was born in 1971. But unlike me, this awesome song is still as fresh as the day it came into the world.
To each their own- but to me the regardless how truly great the stones were - the stones never came close to the real bones of rock n roll like the Faces did. Pure frolicking debauchery and fearlessly fu
n filled lunacy - and great musicians.
I cannot believe the time has passed so quickly...They were all so young, so were we. I got to see Rod do this in Philadelphia in '72 at the Spectrum.
This song will always remind me of the Summer of 71' when I graduated from HS. My cousin and two other friends bought a 62 Ford for $75 and headed to the Celebration of Life rock festival in Louisiana. After that fiasco we hit Colorado, Utah, tripped in Reno and ended up in Frisco and Haight Ashbury. From there we took the Coast Highway all the way down to Long Beach where the cops finally confiscated our old Ford for a cracked windshield. From there my cousin and I took a 747 to NYC and went to the Concert for Bangladesh....what a Summer!
The Concert for Bangladesh !?
Now that is the stuff of Legend !!
@@2msvalkyrie529 you better believe it! When I first saw the film of the concert the opening song just sent a cold chill up my spine! It was like I was there again 17 years old and tripping my ass off!

Get yourself a copy of : 1971 -Never a Dull Moment by David
Hepworth . It's all in there .
( came out in 2016 in Penguin books UK )Should be available in
States.
@@2msvalkyrie529 Will Do! Thank You for that!
I played this over and over until i knew all the lyrics and wrote them in my diary. I was just a teenager. Still listening in 2019.
cool
Growing up I had a neighbor called Gloria that went by the nickname Loobyloo.
One of the greatest songs of all time.... thanks for posting.
This is by far the definitive version of this song. And John Peel is there which makes it the best
Classic with a capital K.
Over the top football break for the world class all time hall of fame of spontaneous right on brilliance WIN!
And no lip syncing here. Bravo!
This song is timeless 👍
Great songs and even better memories. Ron Wood still with the same look and hair today. 04/12/20
I saw them in '71. Great show
My mom's favorite song. She died in 2003 at 72 and we played this at her funeral
maureen johnston Great song. Bless your mum. Peace.
Maureen Johntson, yes what memories from my teens.
maureen johnston: Was she not aware that the song's lyrics reference a May-December love affair between a college/university student and a married woman?
@@shruggzdastr8-facedclown Yes, she knew the words and what it was about. She just loved the song . She also loved Rhiannon by Fleetwood Mac. She called that one her 'witch' song. And yet, she wasn't magic.
So sorry to hear of your loss 💔 but that's cool about Maggie May
Incredible live performance by the Faces! Rod Live vocals is such a reason why I’d wanted to sound like him as a teenager! Pure Soul!!
Lol. Live. They are playing football halfway through while the music is playing. How is that live?
@@BlueDogSlim They’d played it off good, lol 😂. Still love ‘em especially Rod
@@BlueDogSlimOnly the vocals were live; everything else was karaoke. The instrumentalists look like they had a good time pretending to be playing.
This song released when I was 11 yrs old.
Where it all began for me! A lifelong love of Rod!
Lesley Jones doesn't get any better Lesley
Can't thank my dad enough for bringing rod into my life x
How cool was Ronnie Lane. Carried the band thru many stages. From the high days of the Small Faces to the band at that present day...What a great band and Ronnie still looking cool, calm and collected...
If your over 60 and you feel down, or someone is giving you a pain in the ass put this on or any of our GREAT 60/70 music and all of a sudden your somewhere else...be cool keep singing and dancing
Memories of being a kid again
My brother had this album
Back in 1971
Every picture tells a story
I loved that album
Maggie May brings back so many memories. I didn't know it then, but I know it now, those were the best of times! I still haven't moved beyond the music from the 60's and 70's, I just can't. It's too darn good. That was when you could listen to the radio, and every song was a good one, but I suppose everyone feels that way about the music of their generation.
Love it. Makes me think of high school..brings back good memories of better times.
For me this video has everything. Firstly brilliant lyrics and musicality served up with humour, playful antics (I mean skillful footy) a lot of bouncing, singing and smiling with original, destined to become trademark, 70's hairstyles. Oh, nearly forgot - the clothes to die for!
And John Peel
Cape Cod, Mass. 1971 with Maggie on the radio. Rod Stewart, excellent song!
This is the Rod Stewart I loved. He had the best band ever!
When music was great.
I was 9 when I first heard this on my uncles car stereo.It has always had a profound effect on me. It opened the door to all the music to follow,Thanks Rod and Uncle Guy!
I like the sound of the synth, and the fact that they're all having a laugh. I was a sixth-former when this came out. I can remember pratting around to it with my mates, not a care in the world. The only line we used to sing was "and in the morning kicked me in the head".
Back when Rodders was good. Last good album out of him was '75's Atlantic Crossing. After that he went into his slow decline to the Vegas-y type act he is now.
But back in the day, especially with his Faces mates, he was a genuine tunesmith who cared about the music.
Sung live...a great musical period for Rod...this song has completely permeated the culture and I'm surprised that no one has ever made a movie out of it...
Newcastle 1970 The Monkey Bar then a pub crawl and end up at The Mayfair at 15yrs old now 64 what a memory
on leave then from army now 65 unbelivable
I Just turned 15 on Sept 1971 and this song went to NO one at the end Septemeber. God it takes me back to my teenage years grew up listening to Rod as the song goes Wake up Maggie
I get on back home one of these days.....
THIS SONG REMINDS ME OF MY BEST FRIEND WHO' LIKE MY BROTHER ARNOLD ALVAREZ. THAT WAS HIS MOM'S NAME MAGGIE. HE WOULD ALWAYS SING THIS SONG ON OUR WAY TO SCHOOL. ROY MILLER HIGH SCHOOL CORPUS CHRISTI TX. JUST THE GUY BELOW BELIEVE HIS NAME IS PRICE. SORRY IF SAID WRONG, YES WHERE DID TIME GO. I WOKE UP THAT MORNING TO GO TO SCHOOL THE NEXT DAY I JOIN THE USAF THE NEXT DAY I RETIRED. THE NEXT DAY I HAVE GRANDKIDS. WE KNOW WHAT IS THE NEXT DAY IS???.
I had this on a reel to reel tape player and played it incessantly while working on my scooter in the garage. I had it on loud and after about the 20 th time of playing, the vicar from across the street asked me if I'd mind turning it down.
Reluctantly I did but I can still listen to this classic 20 times and still want to hear it again. Happy times.
The vicar! LOL Any church stories and Rock are fun. Once years ago in Quebec Can. when the Catholics revolted against the stranglehold of the church and many churches became community centers etc. I got off a bus in a tiny Quebec village on a Sunday am where there was a church directly opposite. There was a steeple and thru loud speakers boomed Rod's 'Do Ya Think I'm Sexy" ROTFL.
The best ever ROCK SONG with far the best ROCK SINGER of ALL TIMES......Sir ROD STEWART.....
After Elvis!
A young man's greatest dream and worst nightmare.
Love how they all taking the piss as they're just miming the whole thing
Every time I hear this song I think about my Senior year...sock hops in the gym, watching the Boys of Fall win the football game...and listening to Rod sing Maggie May! Wow - great memories!
Susan Ford the best music
when america was normal and proud safe respectful
Junior high for me. I was really into the top 40.
Susa Ford
I think about my seventh grade year. I was a cheerleader and every night before games I’d be in my room making signs to put in players lockers. Little incentive signs to make them play better. I don’t think it helped. Anyway, this song was everywhere in the early fall of 1971. It would play on my radio as I drew locker signs on typing paper. Oh, the smell of old school magic markers . This also reminds of my first real boyfriend.-an eighth grader. What a magical time.
how can you not love ronnie lane
Great music value
Cant imagine life without these songs.Class.
They always look like they're having great fun!
I love this band!
One of THE GREAT RECORDS by Rod and The Faces ... so good.
Classic song but it is by Rod Stewart. Not a Faces track.
I love these guys. I'm a lifelong Rod fan and eventually came to understand that the Faces launched him as a solo artist every bit as much as he put a um....face....on their band. Its weird hearing them do this together! Its not a Faces song, I think it might have been Rod's first solo single and as such I would have thought even if they were all mates it might have been a legal thing to keep their material separate. This almost appears as if they are sending him off into his solo career. Ron wood did contribute to MM as bass player and later Rod did some faces material. He very often does faces stuff during live shows.
@@flyingburritobro68 The band misses so many intros on the album, but it feels so good!
The mans a legend only 21 when he hit this classic
A great track issued as a 'Double-A Side' single, with Reason To Believe, which is also excellent.
Great and beautiful song. Sweet memorys. Every time I listen it my heart come back to be young again. Magical song, magical Rod's voice.
The mandolin intro and outro is too beautiful for this song.
I've heart it in 1971 ...no more words needed ...
So many memories with this song, I remember my uncle played and sang it at top volume in the seventies,and I stared at him in child like wonder, and I will never forget that moment!
Maureen your Mom must have been so super-kool if this played at her funeral! You have my condolences.
Great video quality on this series. So glad that some people insisted on high quality back in the day.
Started boot camp 71 Fort Ord. This song took my mind of basic training and the Drill Sargent screaming in my ears,forever in my memories.
Still at school back in the super 70's.Classic Maggie May.They don't come much better than this, We miss you Loz !
Classic 70s hit song
Drunk as a skunk on a Saturday night in our local and demanded everyone join me in singing this !! AND THEY DID !! Bunch of loonies , great days.
My kind of guy! We sang and danced to this song in the day. I'm a Canadian gal and love Rod. Have seen him 7x in cincerts
Rod in his prime at 26. I cant believe he is 77!
If Rod Stewart and Ron Wood had continued playing together they would've made some great music and most likely would still be touring like the Stones. What a great duo....just like Lennon/McCartney, Jagger/Richards, Plant/Page, Daltrey/Townshend.
But who would be in the Stones now if that had happened?
Best singer of all time. He can sing anything.
No Sinatra 🎶
Faces are the best. So rockin. ..they were polished, loose, talented as hell, could just let loose live, and always managed to ride the wave perfectly. Find some of their live stuff on youtube...just rockin.
Have loved this since I first heard it. Mandolin gives me chills... Rod and Ron, the best!
Same as.great memories
Great mandolin solo by Lindisfarne's Ray Jackson.
Love Rod's amazing live voice and the way they play football!
oooohhhh the great Rodlington Stewart as it happens.
Absolutely Brilliant !
