rod stewart gave a interview to the bbc back in the 70's " some people say that our albums are a bit underwhelming, i tell them they need to see us live to get the full effect ". he was right they were one of the best live bands ever.
Man, I just totally dig that nasty dirty tone that Woody gets from his guitar here. and I know he carried it through on to the Stones. But I think it worked perfectly for his time in this great band The Faces it fit Rods vocal style perfectly.
I was 12 in ‘72. I went out to my local record store for the first time. I bought Hunky Dory,A Nods As Good As A Wink,and Electric Warrior. I still consider these in my top ten albums,even now! Miss Judy’s Farm,which opens Nods As Good,is such a stone cold classic...what a guitar sound!
Pure rock-n-roll at its finest. The title acclaims guitar heroes and highlights the lead guitar of Ronnie Wood but overlooks the superbative and much overlooked bass playing of the much loved Ronnie Lane. RIP.
It was never about "how well" they played - It was always about what they played and the feeling they had for the music. If you weren't there you'll never get it.
A couple years ago I bought a Best of Faces CD on a whim. That cd stayed in the player for I don't know how long. Of course I was familiar with some of the tunes but I couldn't believe that I had never heard Miss Judy's Farm before. Such an awsome and raunchy tune. Solid rock.
Welcome to Brit POP 1971 just a dirty rolling guitar sound backed by a gravel voice Rod along with a little piano banging in the back ground! Stunning balance of a bluesy sound........
First saw this marvellous inebriated outfit at Sutton Granada in 1973.....best British rock band ever . Ronnie is a guitar genius IMHO ...being listening to them ever since and always will. Raw, blood and guts rock n roll.
Great live performance! Wonder if they were sober that night! Rod introduced this as a new number and I notice the lyrics were slightly different from the version that appeared on the A Nod's as Good as a Wink album. It's a gamble for a band to try out a new number on stage before officially releasing it but that's the Faces for you. They probably loved playing it on stage so they thought what the hell! let's do it.
Tight, tight, tight! 😁 Seriously, though, Faces were rock and roll royalty. I'd love to see another band like them come along. I don't think there's ever been a better live band than Faces. Rod's voice, Ronnie's guitar, Ronnie Lane's beautiful bass, Ian McLagan's perfectly played keys and Kenney Jones very solid drumming (he's one of my favorite drummers). They were so dirty; I feel like I need a bath after listening to them. Dear God, they were good!
perhaps, but these bar bands never wrote this or had a singer like Stewart, but how could a bar band play a Faces song better than the Faces themselves? the Faces were a tremendous live band and it's patently obvious you never saw them live
What a f@#$€%g jam! So much attitude, swagger and groove ... and talent! Rod Stewart has to be one of the best singers and frontmen ever. He's got charisma to give away!
Thanks for the vid! I still love this band. A once in a lifetime event, where the parts are greater than the sum... And the sum was as good as it gets.
@@baybae92 - my mom discovered Rod in the seventies and, at 90, is one of his biggest fans. I love his work before mainstream stardom and even Iggy Pop delved into an album of classic pop standards from the 1930s on.
Some Georgia Satellites sounds there. Scruffy chunky rock n roll licks. Add some tasty keyboards.. There was that rocker Rod Stewart that was backed solid and was great.
Rocking' Good News !! Played the hell outa this lp, ANIAGAAWTABH, from the time it came out. Mum wasn't wild bout it, but ....... to be expected with SWM,this and ..... the rest. Still gets regular multiplayer times to this day. R&R !
+Michael Brunning I agree....I think this was when his voice was in peak form.....and while the ego was present....it wasn't all encompassing.....yet......but I have to say here the whole is greater than the sum of the parts.....
@himycatisdead R+B/Blues was king in the early 1970s ;) I think the Rolling Stones even copied the Faces a bit at this time. Jeff Beck, Ronnie Wood, Rod Stewart were doing this commercial R+B a bit before they mastered it. Although, Cream probably popularized it
Rod started off young as a great singer with Long John Baldry's band and then with Jeff Beck but the Faces were even better. Unfortunately Rod became bigger than the band and after Woody left for the Stones, it all fell apart.
Rod at his prime…giving that mic the business. Woody is crunchy. The whole band was incredible.
This band was one of the greatest bands ever, right up there with the Stones and the Who!
They could run rings round those two second-rate bands.
Better than the who

I love their albums, but live performance is always best with real musicians. Sadly I was too young in the early 70s to go out and see them.
STATUS QUO were the best and greatest LIVE Rock Band of all time.
This is no bar band.This is one of the greatest rock'n'roll bands that ever drew breath.
ditto
I have to agree with the Willster.
still is today bro in 2021
No, but they had the feel of a pub band. No pretentiousness, what you see is what you get. Pure talent.
Your are 100 percent spot on. Unbelievable
Oh Ronnie that dam Zermatis ...what a sound , raw blood and guts rock n roll played by proper blokes.
Wonderful.
I think that’s my favorite bass sound ever. They just absolutely rip on this performance.
I agree Mark...I saw them in 1972 at the Sutton Granda, I was 15 . It was still today one of the best gigs I’ve ever been to . A complete riot.
Man, I just totally dig that nasty dirty tone
that Woody gets from his guitar here. and
I know he carried it through on to the Stones.
But I think it worked perfectly for his time in
this great band The Faces it fit Rods vocal
style perfectly.
Now kids gather around...this is what we called "Dirty Rock N Roll" back in the day!!
I was 12 in ‘72. I went out to my local record store for the first time. I bought Hunky Dory,A Nods As Good As A Wink,and Electric Warrior. I still consider these in my top ten albums,even now! Miss Judy’s Farm,which opens Nods As Good,is such a stone cold classic...what a guitar sound!
Eddie, you have excellent taste in music.
Thanks Alan I was just lucky to be born at the right time. 1971 was such a great year for rocknroll and it set me on a path of discovery
Pure rock-n-roll at its finest. The title acclaims guitar heroes and highlights the lead guitar of Ronnie Wood but overlooks the superbative and much overlooked bass playing of the much loved Ronnie Lane. RIP.
That's absolutely true! Plonk was the sweetest character!
It was never about "how well" they played - It was always about what they played and the feeling they had for the music. If you weren't there you'll never get it.
Rod at his best..with the Faces...
Kelvin Marshall i
yep

A Nod's as Good as a Wink - my very first LP. Ron Wood you're a Face, not a Stone.

Love the guitar distortion on this.

one hell of a wicked piece of music... they don;t make like that any more...
Best concert I’ve ever seen was Faces at Rainbow Theatre in 72.
Tight, tight, tight! 😁 Seriously, though, Faces were rock and roll royalty. I'd love to see another band like them come along. I don't think there's ever been a better live band than Faces. Rod's voice, Ronnie's guitar, Ronnie Lane's beautiful bass, Ian McLagan's perfectly played keys and Kenney Jones very solid drumming (he's one of my favorite drummers).

Rod lets that mic stand leg prang him in the face at 2:23; nice recovery though, didn't let on at all (that had to hurt!)
All 5 failed the field sobriety test that night but no charges were brought forth! Rock on boys!
Seen Rod and the faces with Uriah Heep......................one of the best shows i've ever seen
Terry Burleyson same here. woo hoo!
World Series of Rock (Cleveland, OH) August 23, 1975?
We in our older age can only hope the songs the Faces have been working on sound as good as this does....
What a f@#$€%g jam! So much attitude, swagger and groove ... and talent! Rod Stewart has to be one of the best singers and frontmen ever. He's got charisma to give away!
This is a good song with powerful performance.
Thanks for the vid! I still love this band. A once in a lifetime event, where the parts are greater than the sum... And the sum was as good as it gets.
love Ronnie Wood's guitar tone
jacko717 ....may i say "greasy" sound?.....
jacko717 very greasy!
Ron is FROSTY
First, Jeff Beck, then the Faces when the Mod replaced Steve Marriott - the best work Rod ever produced before he became a boring pop star.
Fair, but he was a pretty damn good pop star too!
@@baybae92 - my mom discovered Rod in the seventies and, at 90, is one of his biggest fans. I love his work before mainstream stardom and even Iggy Pop delved into an album of classic pop standards from the 1930s on.
yup...this was ronnie lanes and ronnie woods groove...stewart had been discovered by Beck not much earlier than this.
Some Georgia Satellites sounds there. Scruffy chunky rock n roll licks. Add some tasty keyboards.. There was that rocker Rod Stewart that was backed solid and was great.
Wonder where the Satellites got it from?
This song has such a cool groove...
Great musicians complemented by a great singer and vice-versa
the band is so tight it's choking me!
A legend of the 60s music want a band 🇬🇧🇬🇧
its the Faces NOT Rod Stewart AND the Faces , he was IN the group not a seperate entity
Indeed. A great collection of talent!
Rocking' Good News !!
Played the hell outa this lp, ANIAGAAWTABH, from the time it came out.
Mum wasn't wild bout it, but ....... to be expected with SWM,this and ..... the rest.
Still gets regular multiplayer times to this day.
R&R !
Wonderful song..
So edgey and raw superb 👌
awesome rock track, from legends faces the band rod stewart was in before he went solo. just a great 5 piece band.
@Khultan Not this one my friend...this is a Wood/Stewart number...opening track from the '71 album, 'A Nod's As Good As A Wink'...(to a blind horse) ;
This is so fucking heavy. Ace.
PERFECT!
God this band rocked. When music great
What. A. Groove.
I thought I'd heard all of Rod's tunes, but this one's new to me. Was this before Maggie?
No
King of cool Ronnie Laine 👌
According to one Art Gallery Owner Ron Wood is quite good at portraitures. Which is good news for me phew!
classic rock from the best rock band of there time still sounds great
Wish they were all still on the go. They’d put a few to shame.
Merci!
Fabulous band!
Oh fuckin YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Best 'pub band' ever-...
WOOOOHOO!! This is how it's mean't to be. (Ask Janmurph.)
fantastic !
....and Ronnie lane too....
He probably wrote this song.
Even the raw version sounds better than 100% of today's garbage 'music'
Fucking great!!!!!
Brilliant
@TheAntman1265 Anyone know what pedal or amp was using in that era? That "A nod is as good..." tone was raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaw!
blasted Fender Princeton
Er Rod Stewart was one of the greatest front man. Shame his cheesy AC years overshadow his output during those years.
Romping Stomping Song. Faces Rule
I doubt it, but tell us the bars they play in I'd like to check em out!
Yes! Stewart is the Hendrix of rock singing!
Fuck me, Rod was good!
+Michael Brunning I agree....I think this was when his voice was in peak form.....and while the ego was present....it wasn't all encompassing.....yet......but I have to say here the whole is greater than the sum of the parts.....
The man is rock n roll personified
Rod was one hell of a cool Mod
1972 2022 on ecoute toujours the faces
Bloody cool
@himycatisdead
R+B/Blues was king in the early 1970s ;)
I think the Rolling Stones even copied the Faces a bit at this time. Jeff Beck, Ronnie Wood, Rod Stewart were doing this commercial R+B a bit before they mastered it. Although, Cream probably popularized it
Me love the faces!
@TheAntman1265 Raunchy and Sleazy.... PERFECT!!!
Ronnie was so good... at this time
Love Led Zep, Quo, Bad Co., Dire Straits,Moody Blues, but Faces are my fav ever band!!! (& Rod's a Celtic supporter) Don't get better than that!!!
ron Wood in the guitar is amazing ...like jimy hendrix
Estas imagenes le dan mil vueltas a los continuos cambios de plano de hoy en dia. El alma es efimera.
Yesssss!
The first mullet ever. Cheers Rod!
RAW AS FC
The only complaint id have is that it finished.
they don't make em like this anymore
@quiltbee EXCELENTE
le deux RONNIE sont énorme
Rod started off young as a great singer with Long John Baldry's band and then with Jeff Beck but the Faces were even better. Unfortunately Rod became bigger than the band and after Woody left for the Stones, it all fell apart.
Couldn't make out if Ronnie Wood is playing a Gibson Les Paul or a copy of some make. Anyone recognize that guitar? Thanks.
⚡️⚡️⚡️
ROCKBOOZEFUCKINROLL
How do I get that guitar sound? Is that the tonebender
What a band! A perfectly oiled rock n roll machine
Would love to know which fuzz pedal is Ronnie using here…
Shit hot!
Ronnie kills it. Frosty
It's Faces, not The Faces and Rod Stewart.
That's right
What guitar is ronnie using here ?
Looks like a heavily customized les paul
Zematis
whats not to like.
Um it was just the Faces...Rod was just one of the band.
Written by Ronnie Lane?
rock an roll
Hey dude.. that's ronnie lane, not ronnie wood :-/
That is not Ronnie Lane. It is, in fact, Ron Wood.
fredfukkinbear kikkinnigass Ronnie Lane on bass, Ronnie Wood on guitar.
