THE FACES WITH KEITH RICHARDS - ID RATHER GO BLIND 1974

The Faces With Keith Richards performing - id rather go blind . ronnie wood -guitar , keith richards - guitar , rod stewart - vocals , kenny jones - drums , ian mclagan - keyboards ,tetsu yamauchi - bass

[@andrewfrancis7272]

I wanted to watch this just to see the Faces play with Keith Richards, but was blown away at how good it actually was. Rod Stewart is a great soul and blues singer, and Ron Wood plays with so much feeling. Happily in 2021 all three are still playing to audiences.

[@christiankruger4422]

Everryone is putting their heart and soul into it and creamed it . . .

[@dianeward5405]

Not bad. Rod has a soulful voice, that's for sure. They are connecting with something deep. I am not sure Rod needed to twirl the mike stand around like a baton...the song stands on its own merit for being great. The shtick almost detracts but since it's Rod, he can get away with it. Keith looks the part, Ronnie looks a little affected with his grimacing but plays some soulfully awesome notes.

[@michaelbrock7938]

You said it brother..... Was completely blown away

[@Methadone4Life]

Just saw Rod in Cincy on July 12 2022...at 73 still puts on one hell of a show and despite a cold, he still can rock the crowd or give goosebumps. He can literally sing anything and make it sound great!!!

[@Mothersown]

@@dianeward5405 sorry I think Rod’s twirling of his mic stand was impressive as hell. The butt shots I could totally do w/o Lol And Ronnie’s grimacing is just his style- as w/many guitar geniuses :)

the Faces with Rod Stewart Live, what a treat. Love this music but I am 71 now still enjoying it just as in the 60s.

I’m 71 also and remember when I was 16 at a Yardbirds concert just after they broke up and Page formed Led Zep, Jeff Beck came out and said, “I’d like to introduce our new lead singer, MR. Rod Stewart”! History, it was a $2.50 concert(1968)

This was Rod Stewart at his best. His singing is raw and powerful. The last time I saw him, in person was about ten or eleven years ago at a small venue in Pennsylvania He sounded great singing his hits, but I wish he had performed this song.

[@1960gal]

I think I saw The Faces on this Tour - 1974. Lewisham Odeon. I was a month off my 14th birthday. My first ever Gig...can you imagine that?! I adored them all: my first proper schoolgirl crush was the whole Band!😍. No Osmonds/Bay City Rollers for me: too 'girly'. Besides I had older sisters & a brother who all loved everything from Elvis, Mowtown to Ska and even Traffic. Safe to say I've still got a very eclectic taste in music! First saw Rod & The Faces on TOTP when I was 11, miming to 'Maggie May' with John Peel on mandolin. Cheeky Chapies, kicking a ball around on stage, having a right laugh. Little did I know they were all probably pi$$Ed up and off their nut on Coke! So rock & roll 😆 Always preferred good time rock n roll. I loved the distinctive guitar sound of The Faces. As for Rod, well what a frontsman! Personally love the very early Rod stuff, and all of The Faces albums. After 'Smiler', when Rod met Britt and waltzed off to America, I lost interest: too poppy for me by then. So getting my Faces fix on KZbin is brilliant. Makes a 63 y/o Nan feel like a schoolgirl again...mainly because I can remember all the words from their songs!! Great Times x
