That must have been fantastic. Unfortunately I never saw the Stones or Faces live. I was only 10-12 years old when Faces were touring. This was several years before I started going to concerts. Even as a young kid I loved "Stay With Me" by Faces. I really liked Rod Stewart when I was a kid, and STILL love his first 4 or 5 albums for Mercury Records. Especially Every Picture Tells A Story, which MAY be my favorite rock album all-time.Faces is a wonderful choice! I love the boozy and sometimes raucous music they put out.
After witnessing the Stones from the front row during their July 1972 visit to MSG, I was front row for Faces Sept 1972 'A Nod Is As Good As A Wink To A Blind Horse' show at The Gorden.
Frankly, two of the best RnR shows I ever attended. Even more frank, Faces stage presence was much more appealing.
If I could go back, no doubt I'd choose a Faces event over the Stones.
Peace.
Hey, BM. Generally I like when band's cover classic sounds.
What I admired about the Faces and Stones was their covers of Motown artist's music.
The Stones version of Just My Imagination and Rod's spin on I'm Losing You add a different flavor to classic American music art The Godfather of Motown Mr. Berry Gordy created.
Back in the day I was hopeful music would be the key to finding peace and unity.
Sadly, my hopes were dashed in the 80s when HATE and VIOLENCE began seeping into popular American music.
I'm referring to REAL LIFE hate and violence that I witnessed during the 12 years I was a cop serving Child Abuse victim's Christopher Wallace's and Shawn Carter's Brooklyn, NY community.
Peace.
