Pullin’ ‘Tubes: Thursday Face Lift

By Ace Cowboy

I’m borderline obsessed with the short-lived Faces. Between the ridiculous musicianship of each band member and Rod Stewart’s appearance and stage presence, how are these guys continually overlooked? Footage from what’s billed as the Face’s Final Concert in 1974 has started to hit the ‘Tube of You, so let’s check out this clip of Keith Richards joining these guys and future bandmate Ron Wood. It’s a fantastic version of Sweet Little Rock & Roller, and it emphasizes how fucking unbelievable Ian McLagan was on the piano. Nice outfit, Rod.
