Imagine a time when every single rock band was just about as good as this. The Stones, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, The Who, Rory Gallagher, Terry Reid, Bowie, Floyd... the list goes on forever. Every song on the records were great and even AM radio was a joy... it's true. I was 12 in 1971 and it was an amazing time to be a kid who loved music.
There are still a lot of great bands out there. You just won't hear them on the radio. Local clubs/bars/venues have some great young talented and hungry bands. It just is not marketed on a huge scale .

I’m planning on finding a way to live in the ‘70’s and ‘80’s in some kind of infinite loop. Was a truly great time to be young and alive..pity I didn’t know quite just how much back then. At least there’s CZcams.
Really 64-79 or so. But in the early part of the period, you could play anything that you wanted. Look at the lineup at Monterey. Even as late as Woodstock. After that, htings got fragmented/ IN 1969, Sly was on the same stage as The Who. By 1975, P-Funk shoudl have been on the same stage as say Rush because they were both freaky prog bands, but no.
@@joem5903 True by then the business men took over and they separated band by genre because of marketing. So a band like p funk could not perform on the same festival with rush.
@@bentleycoupe8788 ironic that some of those same executives may have signed a lot of those vans because they didn’t know what else to do. They just knew that they had to jump on the new movement.
@@kbraker510 It's a Zemaitis. Ron Wood's guitar with the metal front is a Zemaitis, too, although the Plexiglas guitar he's using here is a Dan Armstrong.
I keep coming back to remind myself how good they were. A bar band par excellence. You can practically smell the stale beer and cigarette smoke. Oh, Rod Stewart became a great pop star and he earned it. But for my money, this is the way to hear him, with a brilliant band of working class lads behind him, rockin' for all they're worth. Long live The Faces.
@@snit22yes! i saw that too! and Lane quite calmly ducking out of the way -- i get the impression that he and Wood were both very well practiced at avoiding that mike stand!
Dan, you’re spot on. Stewart and Marriott both. I was born 1960, took punk, two tone, indie etc. Some great rock music, but Stewart & Marriott in their prime - oh lord, stunning
There were so many great bands during this era you could almost take them for granted. Looking at this live rendition of this classic song makes me realize just how amazing it was to live through it.
The bass player and founder of the band, Ronnie Lane. Small Faces, The Faces, Ronnie Lane's Slim Chance, Mahoney's Last Stand album with Ron Wood, Rough Trade album with Pete Townshend....the guy's whole catalogue of music is brilliant and he's criminally underrated. Cheers
I was very fortunate to see the Faces live in 1971 at Nottingham University. A night to remember - they carried on playing even after the lights went on. When they switched off the power supply to the stage, they carried on acoustically. They were having so much fun playing and who were we to complain?
Could easily have had as big impact (or bigger) as a live show for decades like the Stones with this lineup. Regrettably, Rod decided to go the Elvis route as a celeb, lounge act. Still a great voice, but abandoned his edgy creativity.
My favorite Rod Stewart song by far. It's raw, gritty, sexy, & full of energy. There's a few comments below saying it's a little loose & sloppy. Yeah, in the best way. I'd hate to see a band perform to a metronome, tight & rigid. Music has to flow & breathe. Very well rehearsed song & band. All great musicians on that stage...
I've always been a big Faces fan. Ohh la la is one of my favorite albums. 👏👍 See them once playing in Jersey City Roosevelt stadium on the school's out bill with Alice Cooper, and the James gang great show. ☮️🤘
Wow! Rod with an actual awesome stage presence! This is why we fell in love with Rod Stewart to begin with! My all time favorite song. Faces was really his gig.
Had the pleasure of hanging out for a few minutes after the Philly’72 Spectrum concert with Rod at the Marriott Hotel on City Line on the outskirts of West Philly. Long Story. A total gentleman!
That's right you're correct Timeless they had a thousand more hits than the stones ever deserved the stones couldn't freaking tie their shoelaces on a good day after Mick Taylor left
You’re right. I look at it like the renaissance of truly great music, just like poetry, painting, and classical music had its day. Now all of it’s dead, soulless reproductions. It will never attain the magic again. You could get the best singers and musicians today to play this song but it still won’t capture the magic.
Loved the 60s generation change from the Booted&Suited to everything pascal , Jeans, Hair And The Music , Bob Dylan , Stones, John Lennon, Donovan, joe cocker, James Taylor, led z etc.
@Zeljko Trifunovic none of them died from drugs though,steve Marriott died in a house fire,ronnie lane had m.s and suffered for years and ian mclagan died of a stroke
One of the good things about being as old as I am (62) is growing up with great music like this. One of the bad things is that most of the cops who would let me off with a warning for driving too fast because I had music like this blaring on the radio have retired.
Awesome bunch of fellas! And how awesome to see Ronnie Wood doing something besides the Rolling Stones! Hearing how good these kids were doing this song live is a kick, because I've become so used to hearing it for 50 years that I sometimes take the song for granted. Hearing this, and seeing the band performing it puts it in a whole new light for me now. And how about the drum breaks at the end? Pretty cool hearing a live version, and how good he was!
Greasy funky rock and soul none of today’s so called bands can touch. The Faces, Foghat, Robin Trower, Procol Harum, Humble Pie, Savoy Brown were my favorite bands of that era. I still play them regularly.
@@commanderscroob and isn't it nice that now you can put all your favorite songs into an iTunes library and skip the songs you don't like? when i play compilations of my favorite songs i lose track of time.
Man! What a song!! I remember hearing this when I was in the sixth grade in 1971. I had a crush on a girl named Rena. I used to change the lyrics from Rita to Rena. 10 years old at that time. One month shy of being 63 and this song is just as awesome as it was back in the day.

Woody's dirty guitar sounds are fantastic, and now he is part of that weaving duo in another band. Loved the Faces in the 70's and they still sound better than most bands around at the moment. Great Rock n Roll never dies.
@@davedzone What exactly isn't acoustic? I know that 'Stay With Me' itself isn't acoustic but I was talking about Rod Stewart's albums 'Gasoline Alley' and Every Picture Tells a Story'. I was very clear about that in my post
@@joelmalone7922 all the electric guitars on the songs would make it not acoustic. Even on Maggie may. Hammond organ, electric guitar and bass. Acoustic means acoustic only. Gasoline Alley is closer as it has no electric guitars listed.
@@davedzone Have you ever listened to Mandolin Wind, A Reason to Believe, Lady Day, Cut Across Shorty, Gasoline Alley etc. Sure they may have been recorded using pick-ups connected but they're acoustic guitars. Call Ron Wood, Rod Stewart and ask them yourself.
This came out as I got back to "the world" from Nam. That's f'n rock, and roll! A nod's as good as a wink...to a blind horse. The best that Rod ever was.
When this song plays on the radio while I'm driving and getting close to my destination, I pass it by so I can drive a while longer listening to this truly great rock song.
Seeing some of these bands perform on video really makes me wish I could go back and re-live the 70s. It was a great decade in general, and most notably, for music.
I'm 56 years old now and i still remember hearing this song as clear as day when i first heard it back in 1971 when i was 4 going on 5 years old. Now that's what i call timeless appeal.
@@stephenzanichkowsky4434 - Yep, early on the Dan Armstrong plexi was his go-to slide guitar. 1975ish he picked up a Tony Zemaitis black disk front and that became the "Stay With Me guitar."
@@archiecoolsdown5854 whoa...wait a second...Michael's onto something! It's an ALL MALE BAND!!! Michael, man, you've got to tell us why you felt it necessary to tell us that! Dying to know, actually...
I graduated from high school in 1971; this is music I grew up with. Saw them in concert in 1971 Stockton, CA with Fog Hat as the opening band. Good stuff!
I saw Rod Stewart, his daughter, and some very attractive talented girls that preformed with him at New Orleans Jazz Fest almost two years ago and he preformed and sang like he did when he was as young as he is in this video. It was an amazing show, never a dull moment or a bad note, total perfection and a class act performance.
Remember listening to top 40 AM radio one day in '71 - suddenly this tune came on - remember being floored - what the hell was that? Was so "f-ing" great!!!
This song was pretty modern sounding for 1971. My dad's friend played this Faces stuff from a pre-mix studio cut edition he aquired, on a really high end Telefunken reel to reel. They sounded BIG in his old wooden house with wood floors and an 12 foot ceilings. Fantastic band and sound for so long ago with bare minimum "tools". My dad and his friend are still around rocking at 76 years young.
@@kevinduthie1580 I what specifically referring to modern pop music as it appears on the pop charts. There is some good stuff but you have to sift through a lot of crap in order to find it.
It was ever the way, have you forgotten Chicory Tip, First Class, Ace, Pilot, Bay City Rollers, Barry Blue..list goes on and on, from the seventies. You always have to look past the charts for the most part. 2019 was the best year for music since 97 probably and maybe top 5 since 1960
@@kevinduthie1580 yuck... Thanks a lot for reminding me now I will have a litany of Bay City roller songs going to my head for the next month! Curse you kevin duthie!!! Lol! Actually, as bad as a lot of that crap was it was much more technically musical than what appears on the pop charts nowadays simply because it required real musicians and actually had recognizable choruses and verses and bridges and was not auto-tuned or even tidied or sampled and pro tools to death. Today's pop for the most part is lazy, unimaginative and basically insulting to the intelligence. However if you are lucky enough to have a good college radio station near you you might possibly find some decent music. Cheers
Rod Stewart and Doctor Hook,my sister played it over and over.Then she got into the Bay City Rollers,Damnit all I wanted to do was watch Puffnstuff in peace.
Today's so called "music"(sic)..no matter how sophisticated their sound man is can't touch a candle to good old "fuzzed up loud & live" R&R like this....

100 % !!!
I was 16 in ‘71 and could not agree more! Sadly, by the end of the decade radio was mostly unlistenable. It went downhill from there.
My Brother. You’re familiar with Terry Reid’s work. Enough said.
Everyone was always saying, in the future we have flying cars and advanced this and that, but I say 1971 is looking pretty good right about now.
Rock S, I remember watching this when first broadcast on the BBC,I was a carefree 11yrd,I know things never stay the same but well I just wish it hadn't changed soo much.All the best

@@kevinbraden798 yeah I agree, you can’t even smoke in petrol stations these days.
I can't help but love Rod and Ronnie together. 🎉
Saw them together in Cleveland stadium. Arrowsmith was there also.
When a band like The Faces sounds even better live than their record...you know that band is great.
All bands should, it's supposed to thier natural environment.
Something new artist don’t have this was about 40 years ago befor Ron wood went to the stones.
And when the band are completely drunk and still kick it better than the record, absolute masters of the craft.
Cocaine is a hell of a drug....
and they were even better when Steve Marriot was leading them
Ronnie Wood is absolutely killing it!
Nothing in this world is perfect but MAN do I miss the old days when music like this was popular and people were generally happier. I love this band!
You are right people were a lot happier then the music was good and life was good.
Completely agree. This brought back good memories.
To true when we lived through strikes and recession with good rock music and couldn't give a fuck about politics.

That Ronnie Lane bass line is fantastic. Musician of the most talented of rock and little recognized.
What bass is Ronnie playing?
@@kbraker510 It's a Zemaitis. Ron Wood's guitar with the metal front is a Zemaitis, too, although the Plexiglas guitar he's using here is a Dan Armstrong.

Absolutely... now that you mention it
Thought the same thing - especially Chris Robinson's thievery.
I was lucky enough to be a teenager in the 70s. Good times, great music
Me 2
Anche Io
I came up in the 90s huge black Crowes fan,saw them live in 92. Chris did all of Rod's moves with the mic stand
DITTO, AND, I was lucky enough to see the Rod and Woody show live! Could be the best concert I ever saw!

Ronnie Wood kind of became a bit of the thing later as well.
For me the best rock song ever.
The guitar and piano playing is so great.😊
The controlled chaos at the end, each member doing his own thing but they are still all on the same page, pure magic.
Ronnie Lane one of the most under rated musicians of my time. The man was so unbelievably talented.
100% agree!!
Debris is one of my favorite Faces songs...hes great.
Miss Ronnie Lane
I know and to meet such a sad end when Seeger said rock n roll never forgets
One of the greatest ever Ronnie Lane was rock and roll just like Keith is.
This is why old buggers of our vintage go on about what music really was.
Damn Skippy! Today’s music is crap!
Buggers,,,, Love it.... Damn it, I am one,WOW LOL
No auto tune bull shyt
It's also a very rare outing for the original lyrics. The BBC would not have played it, and in 1971, that is all that counted.
And that's why they still play "our" music...!
You certainly took your life in your hands sharing a stage with Rod when in a mic stand twirling mood!
🤣the other guys on stage were making sure to stand clear
No. He almost hit Ronnie Lane.
@@snit22yes! i saw that too! and Lane quite calmly ducking out of the way -- i get the impression that he and Wood were both very well practiced at avoiding that mike stand!

Maximum overdrive.

Hahahaha! Excellent, and true
That was 'The Shag' haircut, popular back then.
..and different sizes
These guys were a good band, each player was talented, they had chemistry, too bad they couldn’t keep it going, wasn’t meant to be .....
Lol yup
Rod Stewart really had one of the greatest rock voices back in the day.
Unique!
Rod Stewart. John Fogerty Meat loaf and Axl Rose. Are impossible to cover.
That legend on the keyboards, Beck, was a big help to Rod too
Have you seen him in concert? He just keeps getting better!

Rod simply could not reach those notes anymore so he changed his style & selections of songs, can’t criticize him for that.
One of my favorite rock songs. Every guy on that stage is awesome!

You are not wrong there
Ronnie wood is a incredible lead guitarist when people let him shine on Stage he is incredible
Yes, and a major songwriting talent as well - when allowed to shine, as he was in Faces and solo.
I actually like his bass chops more in Rod’s early records..
Yes underrated he never got credit for several stones songs , Limousine was his He is a good rythem and blues excellent team player too
The two Ronnie's!
This sh!t never gets old. And it never will. Thanks for posting and stay safe ☮️
This is as close as any of us who lived through the 1970s will have to a time machine to relive it, thanks for posting!
I'm lucky. Some songs from the Faces show I saw in '72 are on YT.
Before Rod Stewart was a lounge act, kids, he was a fucking great Blues singer working with music’s greatest gods and goddesses.
Michael Reid Perry , You speak the truth.
How these guys were never bigger confounds me.
He’s still pretty damned good. Saw him in Louisville in ‘18. He still rocks!
And of course, Ronnie Wood is top shelf!
Fuck the easy money. Hold on to your dignity ladies and gents.

'This' is the Rod I grew up loving. This band was just sooo good!
What a pretty and most fascinating woman ,hello, my darling ?
Please remember Rod like this, not that "Do you think I'm Sexy" guy. Rod is THIS RIGHT HERE. Every Picture Tells A Story shows it clearly.
Correct! (IMHO). A great album at the time, and still good to this day.
every picture tells a story was a masterpiece!
I can't help it. I had to cover "Do you think I'm sexy" once so I'm unable to forgive him.
This is an awesome song, and there's nothing wrong with "Do You Think I'm Sexy." There were some great players doing that song with him. Wahi' Valleys
Can’t do it. There is no coming back from disco.

The Faces always looked like they were having a great time onstage together, would have loved to have seen them live like a party every gig.
71 was the greatest year for rock and albums in particular
The '70s. The good old days of the greatest music in history.

Woody's dirty guitar sounds are fantastic, and now he is part of that weaving duo in another band. Loved the Faces in the 70's and they still sound better than most bands around at the moment. Great Rock n Roll never dies.
Love Ronnie. Love Keef. Not so keen on that weaving crap.
Prefer a more defined lead/rhythm style.
Gasoline Alley and Every Picture Tells a Story are among two of the finest acoustic rock albums to ever have been released in my opinion.
Ummmm, not acoustic.
@@davedzone What exactly isn't acoustic? I know that 'Stay With Me' itself isn't acoustic but I was talking about Rod Stewart's albums 'Gasoline Alley' and Every Picture Tells a Story'. I was very clear about that in my post
@@joelmalone7922 all the electric guitars on the songs would make it not acoustic. Even on Maggie may. Hammond organ, electric guitar and bass. Acoustic means acoustic only. Gasoline Alley is closer as it has no electric guitars listed.
@@davedzone Have you ever listened to Mandolin Wind, A Reason to Believe, Lady Day, Cut Across Shorty, Gasoline Alley etc. Sure they may have been recorded using pick-ups connected but they're acoustic guitars. Call Ron Wood, Rod Stewart and ask them yourself.
This came out as I got back to "the world" from Nam. That's f'n rock, and roll! A nod's as good as a wink...to a blind horse. The best that Rod ever was.
glad you made it back chief,thank you for your service...
@@jaydurr8513you're welcome...you're worth it.
When this song plays on the radio while I'm driving and getting close to my destination, I pass it by so I can drive a while longer listening to this truly great rock song.
@@DavidB-py8nz How do you know, are you in the back seat?? I’ve done the same numerous times. Perhaps you don’t get excited by good Rock, shame.
Me too. I always hear this one out!
Ronnie Lane the most underrated men in music .A true talent RIP
Love the Music of Rod Stewart & Faces ❤️🎸❤️🎸♥️🌟♥️🌟♥️🌟♥️🌟♥️🌟♥️
Seeing some of these bands perform on video really makes me wish I could go back and re-live the 70s. It was a great decade in general, and most notably, for music.
Agreed
Well the cars were mostly crap, but the music was just phenomenal!
Ronnie Laine - sublime bass player...
What a fabulous Bass line ,and of course what a sensational player is Ronnie Lane
Wow, that's pure rock n roll, people. Classic Rod and the guys at their best!
I'm 56 years old now and i still remember hearing this song as clear as day when i first heard it back in 1971 when i was 4 going on 5 years old. Now that's what i call timeless appeal.
Ronnie Lane we miss you dearly.
Four monster musicians and one of the greatest singers in rock history....doesn't get much better than this.
They don't write or sing or perform songs like this anymore. This is REAL talent!
Karlo,. I saw. some. old. BBC. concert. footage late. one. night,. and. they. fucking. Rocked.
Live. When the rhythm guitar drops out for the lead. And still rocks. Bands like this are few and far between and non existent these days.
Stones
I didn't realize he was playing a Dan Armstrong plexi...
Rock and roll is non-existent these days.
@@stephenzanichkowsky4434 - Yep, early on the Dan Armstrong plexi was his go-to slide guitar. 1975ish he picked up a Tony Zemaitis black disk front and that became the "Stay With Me guitar."
One of the greatest song outros ever! Wouldn't complain if it went on like that for another 5 minutes.
The Ronnies constantly ducking away from Rod's mic stand is hilarious.
all male band.
@@archiecoolsdown5854 whoa...wait a second...Michael's onto something! It's an ALL MALE BAND!!! Michael, man, you've got to tell us why you felt it necessary to tell us that! Dying to know, actually...
@@squirrelbutler2119 I think, right, and I might be going out on a limb here, but, I think...The Faces might've been an all male band.
don't you just love it, Ron is really good at ducking, must have had a lot of practice
Perhaps he meant that the guys weren't bitching about it.
WHAT A BAND!!! This song, their time together, NEVER gets old!
Not for children. This is REAL rock n' roll done by rockin' professionals.
Yes kiddies Rod Stewart was pretty cool in the early seventies .
it was the only time he was cool... when he had guys like Ronnie Wood and Jeff Beck backing him...
ALWAYS WAS and ALWAYS WILL BE. Haters suck
Ok, boomer. Anything you say.
Until he decided to go all Lionel Richie. All the way to the bank. Lol. : )
At 4:01, I want that outfit with the plaid pants....LMAO!
And THIS, boys and girls, is rock and roll!
I graduated from high school in 1971; this is music I grew up with. Saw them in concert in 1971 Stockton, CA with Fog Hat as the opening band. Good stuff!
Same year, and saw them in Boston sloppy but fun.
Ronnie was killing it. Fantastic sense of timing, tone and groove. My favorite all-round guitarist.
I saw Rod Stewart, his daughter, and some very attractive talented girls that preformed with him at New Orleans Jazz Fest almost two years ago and he preformed and sang like he did when he was as young as he is in this video. It was an amazing show, never a dull moment or a bad note, total perfection and a class act performance.
@VonBluesman Wow!! Tell me more!!
Remember listening to top 40 AM radio one day in '71 - suddenly this tune came on - remember being floored - what the hell was that? Was so "f-ing" great!!!
Saw these guys at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, Texas in 1971 with Three Dog Night and others!! What a show!!!
This song was pretty modern sounding for 1971. My dad's friend played this Faces stuff from a pre-mix studio cut edition he aquired, on a really high end Telefunken reel to reel. They sounded BIG in his old wooden house with wood floors and an 12 foot ceilings. Fantastic band and sound for so long ago with bare minimum "tools". My dad and his friend are still around rocking at 76 years young.
This was real music. How far we’ve fallen. I was born in 1979 -
This really puts into perspective how absolutely horrifying modern music is...
Except it's not, you're just looking in the wrong places.
@@kevinduthie1580 I what specifically referring to modern pop music as it appears on the pop charts. There is some good stuff but you have to sift through a lot of crap in order to find it.
It was ever the way, have you forgotten Chicory Tip, First Class, Ace, Pilot, Bay City Rollers, Barry Blue..list goes on and on, from the seventies. You always have to look past the charts for the most part. 2019 was the best year for music since 97 probably and maybe top 5 since 1960
@@kevinduthie1580 yuck... Thanks a lot for reminding me now I will have a litany of Bay City roller songs going to my head for the next month! Curse you kevin duthie!!! Lol! Actually, as bad as a lot of that crap was it was much more technically musical than what appears on the pop charts nowadays simply because it required real musicians and actually had recognizable choruses and verses and bridges and was not auto-tuned or even tidied or sampled and pro tools to death. Today's pop for the most part is lazy, unimaginative and basically insulting to the intelligence. However if you are lucky enough to have a good college radio station near you you might possibly find some decent music. Cheers
@@TerryNails LOL
The swing and swagger of stay with me is just 👌isn't it?!
So many times I've wanted a time machine but wish I could go back to the 70's 😍❤️
What a pretty and most fascinating woman ,hello ,my darling ?
Absolutely one of the best rock and roll songs ever.
Ronnie was a beautiful bass player and a very interesting human being 🙂
Great to see musicians with wires attached to their instruments. You know it is going to be good! RIP Ronnie.
Don't come here if you can't handle the nostalgia.
Rod Stewart and Doctor Hook,my sister played it over and over.Then she got into the Bay City Rollers,Damnit all I wanted to do was watch Puffnstuff in peace.
Today's so called "music"(sic)..no matter how sophisticated their sound man is can't touch a candle to good old "fuzzed up loud & live" R&R like this....
Tight musicians,one of the greatest rock voices, catchy tune.Can anyone compare today.Doubt it.
Ronnie Wood is a Badass, always has been and always will be. The dude has so much cool dripping off of him, it's a wonder he doesn't melt!!!!
