Small Faces: Old Grey Whistle Test All Or Nothing & High And Happy

A reformed Small Faces on the OGWT performing All Or Nothing and High and Happy.

STEVE MARRIOTT WAS ONE OF A KIND! THERE WILL NO OTHER JUST LIKE HIM!!! M.O'B

[@leanneforsyth5890]

Steve Marriott’s voice blows me away. Incredible. Talk about goosebumps

[@Parseenfroo]

THE best, had so much soul in his performance.

[@paulbrucker7840]

Agree. Well, not about the goosebumps. But so much power and feeling and beauty.

[@ColinPottersBar]

Stevie Marriott is one guy who no one has a bad word to say about, always gets great appreciation whatever he did. He needs to be honoured in some way. He was one of the true greats in life.

[@juliandario4749]

I agree Marriott is The best Singer/guitarist I have ever seen ! End of story Julian Dario ;

[@adrianoburattin4737]

No words to say : too great!!!!

[@sophiafakevirus]

Read All or nothing, everybody close to him, including the band think he is a cunt by this time.

[@frankshailes3205]

Mac says in his autobiography (a great read, by the way) that Steve Marriott could be hard work because he was always hyperactive. The bit where he (Steve) has a heart attack was terrifying.

[@veekatore8983]

I met him at a 80's gig. My sister worked for the concert co and the biggest FM station. I have been backstage and met so many bands. Steve was so appreciative to meet you. It was like Oh Wow! He's so cool! Robin Trower was another so kind as well as Brian May. Clem Burke was so cool. gave me pointers and told me my set a Slingerland was a Jazz set but to still keep it because it will be worth its weight in gold..lol Yea should have listened and kept it. He was soo right .lol

[@CaptainGanja]

Steve Marriott was and is one of my favorites. A most excellent singer and guitarist. RIP Steve.

[@garypowell1540]

Not only could he sing and play like no other, but he also wrote some of the greatest songs ever written.

[@veekatore8983]

I met him in the 80's at a festival backstage. What a amazing person and so welcoming. It's like he already knew you when you met him. A real class act. I will say I was taken back how small he was. Maybe 5'3"? I got it small faces..lol The reason I thought we was taller maybe because his music was so big.. Such a loss..Rip Steve, Ronnie

[@frankshailes3205]

Yes they were all short, hence the band name... I think it's Mac in his book (might be Kenney's) who says some teenyboppers who were mobbing them at the front of some hotel were overhead to say something like "I've gone off them now, look, they're so short!"

[@markhammond5425]

Used to follow stevie around when he was pkaying in London. Spoke to him on many occasions and pkayed pool with him. Never met such a genuine performer. I never saw Stevie give less than a 100% performance. The greatest live performer I've seen. Ive seen many of the top bands but nobody tops him.

[@BritIronRebel]

I was a sound tech at the Filmore when Humble Pie recorded Rockin' The Filmore. And yes, Steve was just a down to earth humble and polite man who anyone could get on with.

Saw Steve many times in Detroit with various bands (H.Pie, Box of Three) and he gave nothing but 100%. One time ('81?) he hobbled out on stage with crutches because of a broken foot. Started off set sitting on a stool. By second song Steve had kicked stool over and was stomping across stage rocking as hard as possible on both feet. Truly a rock warrior! RIP Steve & Mac.

[@IgnorancEnArrogance]

I wish I could have seen him with either The Small Faces or Humble Pie. I already think he's the greatest ever watching these videos, live would kill me with joy. He was no slouch on the guitar either, and all those other singers you mentioned had to focus entirely on singing just to get anywhere close to Steve doing both guitar and singing, making it look so easy, and keyboard occasionally.

The fact that it took Rod Stewart and Ronnie Wood to fill Steves shoes is testament to his talent, also he was showing frontman skills ahead of Plant, Freddie and Paul Rodgers and he could do Page, May and Kosoffe too.
