Faces (uk)
In Concert 1970-71
When Steve Marriott left the Small Faces in 1969, the three remaining members brought in guitarist Ron Wood and lead singer Rod Stewart to complete the line-up and changed their name to the Faces, which was only appropriate since the group now only slightly resembled the mod-pop group of the past. Instead, the Faces were a rough, sloppy rock & roll band, able to pound out a rocker like 'Had Me A Real Good Time,' a blues ballad like 'Tell Everyone,' or a folk number like 'Richmond' all in one album. Stewart, already becoming a star in his own right, let himself go wild with the Faces, tearing through covers and originals with abandon. While his voice didn't have the power of Stewart, bassist Ronnie Lane's songs were equally as impressive and eclectic. Wood's rhythm guitar had a warm, fat tone that was as influential and driving as Keith Richards' style. TRACKS: June 25th, 1970: 01. It's All Over Now 02. I Don't Want To Discuss It 03.
