Rod Stewart and The Faces . Richmond

[@tobradovic]

Ronnie Lane the heart and soul of the Faces.

[@BARNOWLFLEDGLINGS]

Agree!!!! When Ronnie Lane left that was the beginning of the end for The Faces.

[@robinwilson1433]

@@BARNOWLFLEDGLINGS I used to love Ronnie - heart and soul of both Small Faces & Faces - agree with tobradovic!

[@dreamwell2020]

Perhaps my favorite Rod Stewart performance.

[@TheACJohnson]

Well said!

[@janzaruk]

Absolutely!

[@robinwilson1433]

Ha, ha!!

[@Jackalyn]

This track is so cool that it inspired my teenage son to get a resonater guitar and he loves playing this one Thank you Ronnie Lane even the young uns know who you are and love you!

[@juliaray2009]

thank the lord my kids heard plenty of this as they grew up in our house.....they love most of it....I saw the Faces with Rod Stewart Manfred Mann the Who and Herman's Hermits LIVE! in the one concert (at Sydney Stadium!)....we used to get real value for our money in those days....these guys created original sounds and knew how to really please an audience as they loved and lived music...24/7. fresh raw and brilliant!....and it's lasted the test of time!that's good music!

[@kavilivinglife]

THE FACES ...RONNIE LANE THE VOICE OF THE FACES. ...PLAYING. THE EARLY YEARS WITH ROD. STEWART GREAT GUITAR.. FACES FAMOUS. IN THE 70S. . UK KINGDOM. BRITISH MOVEMENT. ..CHART NUMBER TOP IN THE BILLBOARD.

[@Jackalyn]

Wow look how happy Ronnie looks.He and Ron Wood were good together!This track inspired my son to play.Thanks Ronnie.Even when youre not here you are still specialxxxxxxxxxx

[@seamaster27]

I think I saw the same concert n 1967 when I was just sixteen years old at Wembley Stadium, North London, and it only cost five bob to get in. That's 5 shillings in old UK money or 25 pence now. And I even saw the Rolling Stones for that small amount. It was still a weeks wages on my paper round though, but what value. Golden memories.

[@Jackalyn]

This track inspired my teenage son to play the guitar and hes good! Thanks Ronnie You are specialx

[@dorothykuveke1217]

Ronnie Lane 🙏❤️ our heaven needed music so Ronnie was the chosen one. Rip🙏

[@andrewm665]

What a great trio, Ronnie Lane, Ronnie Wood and Rod Stewart[on bass never seen him play it before or after shows Rod knows a little more about music than singing] This is a classic!

[@montybrewster7]

What a great piece of footage, thanks for posting. I've never seen The Faces not laughing & smiling when they played, they were the ultimate goodtime band. Ronnie you were & always will be a legend. Sadly gone but definately not forgotten!

[@norrisnonkin5283]

Miss you Ronnie Lane. The world is a better place thanks to your too brief stay here

[@Reed-bj2dt]

2 of the great slide players right there

[@luke200202]

i started playing when my dad played the faces to me .that was ten years ago . i just played with the noisettes .tell the boy to keep rocking

[@shootingstar7915]

Happy heavenly birthday #RonnieLane,

[@BoAhlbertz-Artache]

If it wasn't for you Ronnie my latest record had not been recorded. You and your music have had so much impact on what I am doing musically. In my heart forever

[@colinmiles1052]

What a trio! Never realised Rod did the double bass! Ronnie Lane - true professional - someone launches a bog roll (or similar) but just carries on. Great Stuff!

[@secordman]

Beautiful stuff! Ronnie Lane was one of a kind.

[@Lisarata]

What a natural.

[@ohisashiburi]

Ronnie Lane the master..miss him...pure magic!

[@mrmarriottsgirl]

happy b-day Plonk - I miss your music today and everyday.

[@TMGLost]

As much as I love their rockers, this song has always been a favorite of mine - I always figured Woody was double tracking in the studio on this - after all these years I find out that Lane was the second slider. Excellent stuff - thanks!!!

[@sampickel1030]

Ronnie Lane what a talent

[@sandyIowaCity]

LOVE - magical music.

[@JJ_Marriott]

That was amazing. Cheers.

[@mrmarriottsgirl]

ta - they threw away the mold after Marriott & Plonk didn't they? Ronnie Lane - such a gift he shared! Shine on Plonk! And mymarriott too..

[@tjt929]

Very NICE Plonk!!! Thanks for the post, very cool.

[@mad4ramones]

What an amazing smile!

[@fretts]

Ahhh what a band that was.

[@MrSirMrSirMr]

The crowd deserve an Oscar.

[@thaddeusmcgrath]

I love how the audience tries to dance to a blues song dam that was funny! You rule Ronnie Lane!

[@desy2478]

Yes couldn't agree more.

[@tataso]

amazing !! ronnie rules !!

[@stratjdr]

to the guy that said the crowd deserves an oscar. That was brilliant, I am still laughing. COuldnt have said it better myself.

[@sweetitis]

You wanna Hoot? In my all Time Top Ten, Ronnie Lane Sings "Debris" with Rod Stewart Back Up Vocals

[@robinwilson1433]

It's a great track!

[@stevelandmorris]

Ronnie sounds exactly as George...and even looks like...

[@beatleloko]

RIP GEORGE AND RONNIE

[@xpat73]

Rest in Peace Plonk!

[@bjbhappy]

Fabulous~

[@laurentlinglois6070]

2022 on ecoute toujours the faces

[@clintonplaza]

FACES one and only! Dats it

[@Nechepsos]

brilliant!

[@davtcan]

definitely Rod.

[@53lyrical]

I am very surprised that this has not been edited after so many years on here. It is NOT Rod Stewart and the Faces....it is THE FACES, from their 2nd album "Long Player". Plus Rod was not playing bass, he was pretending to. It was in the days before Rod became all show biz.

[@twinoak170]

Great.

[@neiltucker7408]

This was what Plonk feared all along; that a well known singer would a) take centre stage and they would end up a backing band & b) he would leave like Marriott did and they'd be in the shit again. Rod Stewart was well aware of this and would go on ahead to (particularly American) venues to ensure that the "Rod Stewart" prefix was removed from any marquee on the theatre. I know Plonk left due to frustration at not being able to sing more lead vocals and that Rod was missing for most of the "Ooh La La" sessions, simultaneously recording "Smiler"; which was unfortunate but ultimately proved his original view. He also believed that Rod was keeping back all his good material for his solo albums, which "True Blue", "You Wear It Well", "Italian Girls" & "Farewell" were probably cases in point. The Faces were not prolific songwriters, a lot of their and Stewart's albums were always padded out with terrific covers but non-original material nonetheless. This piqued Plonk endlessly, as they inevitably ended up playing these and Rod's solo material live; proving his "backing band" feeling. That said I miss these guys as they were my first and, remain, favourite band. No matter how long Woody plays with The Stones, he will still always be the Faces' guitarist; first and foremost.

[@terryorr]

Ronnie Lane sounds a lot like George Harrison here.

[@deanbevilacqua6041]

I hear it. Damn the non believers.

[@dawnsal]

I am old and dyslexic and since I owned this record when I was 15 and saw all credits... should have read: its because of the doink that sang the song. thank you for the correction and I will have to be careful about thinking in background while I write about something else. brain goes way faster than fingers and I do this all the time I think its call dysgraphia. as an adhd adult, it hard to slow my thinks down!!!! lol

[@ChurchShoesFW]

@b017ni3 Both are playing Resonator style guitars. I've read that Ronnie Lane was partial to the brand Dobro, which are beautiful instruments, so if I were to guess I would say that's what he is playing here.

[@kc2dtp]

@xpat73 Yes, I know, it's Ronnie Lane and Ron Wood. I must have been on a Steve marriot tear that day!

[@purplehaze1274]

reminds me of george harrisons voice

[@stragster]

I agree :)

[@bcbear2000]

Rod Stewart on stand up bass... not bad Rod!

[@luke200202]

@mrmarriottsgirl hear hear , a patriot of all that is good and true .

[@RobertDuchnowski]

Ron Wood the best !

[@mrmarriottsgirl]

@luke200202 aww thanks for the supreme compliement friend! I just know what I like! Cheers!

[@kc2dtp]

Steve Marriot: yes!

[@BoAhlbertz-Artache]

Wonder why the name of it is Rod Stewart and the Faces when it's Ronnie Lane who sings ??

[@1DevotedRodFan]

Look at Rod playing the double bass(?)--rare indeed! Very special video, thanks for posting. Btw, would that be Richmond, UK? we yanks across the pond have one too . . .

[@plonkgenius72]

true marriottsgirl,so true

[@megalith6]

gosh, when was the last time a tv 'pop' audience got treated to some *real* musicians like this - ye gads! :)

[@SteveAliment]

What tuning is Ronnie using there?

[@SirStewart]

You're not listening to the right music if you think good musicianship ended "back when."

[@dawnsal]

BECAUSE OF WHO WROTE THE SONG!!!!!!

[@123ThisIsMe]

... I can't help thinking that his singing sounds so much like George Harrison ....

[@Chrisdrumz]

Hell,he LOOKS a lot like George as well. At least I think so.

[@xpat73]

@kc2dtp It's not Steve Marriot!

[@tataso]

@tataso Wood !!

[@frtofsprt]

That last comment was a load of krock...I'm 61 yrs and lived that period....the Faces with Ronnie Lane were a great under rated band. If rod Stewart would have stayed with them....who knows??? Stewart always had a huge ego.

[@dawnsal]

again I screwed the pooch- rod stewart did little contribution, but he was the one that got the contract obviously... I meant to say because of the lead singer as rod stewart did not sing this one either! lol keep playing the underrated slide guitar as it is beautiful.

[@Supervillainmc]

@mrmarriottsgirl .Greatness

[@est3inb3rg]

Is that Rod playing stand up bass?

[@jczother]

@andrewm665 They made 4 albums!

[@mrmarriottsgirl]

Please dont yell at me tryin to covince me how cool todays bands are ie John Mayer, Gov't Mule or the Black Crowes etc. I have my own opinion too. To me none of todays bands come close to UK rock like Marriott!, the Who or the Small Faces & none of them had the subtle class of Ronnie Lane! He was a first class pro & by all accounts a man who suffered his pains in quiet great dignity I miss musicians (AND PRODUCERS & ENGINEERS WHO HAD EARS AND PAID ATTENTION! like that. Lane was pro!

[@mysterysurf]

There's always one, isn't there? But, yeah, as dumb comments go, that one was pretty remarkable. It made me head-slap myself so hard, I think I may have given myself a concussion.

[@MrBigbagman]

Why did they ever let Rod sing?

[@Phidian]

I totally agree...as much a pain in the butt it is to grow older...at least in my day, we had such GREAT MUSIC! What bands now can compare to the Beatles, Stones, Who, Queen any of them...every time I see these new piece of crap new bands on the talk shows, etc...I just turn the channel. They have no original talent nowadays, it's all retread. Why would I spend my money to see them? When I can see the original stuff they are copying who are WAY BETTER!!!

[@BoAhlbertz-Artache]

So when Rod Stewart sings Dirty ol town The artist should be Ewan McColl Makes no sense. And I have nothing against Rod Like a lot of his songs :)

[@deathcapped]

Liked him a lot better in the Small Faces - and Rod needs to learn how to play double bass.....lol.

[@xpat73]

Shame the Faces didn't stay together. Rod Stewart was a great singer, but he was more interested in babes, money and fame at the end of the day...and that's what he pursued.

[@terencewinslow7824]

its complicated really.....record producers egos cash and fame ........but for six albums the face 4 albums s and first two rod solo albums rival the rolling stones as the greatest band in the world

[@dongtingwong]

Rod Stewart was born with the word "GAY" on his forehead.

[@Lordofthebass1]

Spoken like a true gentleman, (even though you are a girl. I think!!! :) ) Rod can't play bass though!!!

[@BoAhlbertz-Artache]

And please don't scream ;)

[@mrmarriottsgirl]

Please dont yell at me tryin to covince me how cool todays bands are ie John Mayer, Gov't Mule or the Black Crowes etc. I've my own opinion too. To me NONE of todays bands come close to UK rock like Marriott!, the Who or the Small Faces & NONE of them had the subtle class of Ronnie Lane! He was a true trobadour first class & by all accounts a man who suffered his pains in quiet great dignity I miss musicians (& PRODUCERS & ENGINEERS WHO HAD EARS AND PAID ATTENTION!) like that. Lane was pro!
