Faces Live 1972

I know we had this before some years ago but it's worth it again and I always really liked Ronnie Lane's bass playing.

I was always a fan of Ronnie's playing andThe Faces. Thanks for the share.

Great band. When I was in my teens it was either the Stones or the Faces that held my interest. Most of my

mates at school were into ELP / Yes / Sabbath etc, but I always preferred the more blues driven rock bands, still do!

Ronnie Lane was fantastic , both as a bassist and songwriter. Watching this makes me realise how sad it

is that we lost him so soon, along with Ian MacLagan too. The Faces live had that wonderful 'loose but tight' thing

going on, which didn't always translate to record IMO. 

Thanks for posting!

Loved the Faces back in the early days. I had Long Player which had this track live, even has Plonk Lane singing:

Blimey - that bass tone is fruity to say the least!

The Faces were my favorite band back then.  Them and Humble Pie.  Amazing the talent that came out of that period in London.

And the amazing Kenny Jones on drums, this must qualify as a super-group. Stupendous !!!

Now that HAS to be one of the most desirable Zemaitis instruments ever.

As stated by Essential T, Bob Daisley does indeed own Ronnie`s old bass. Bob had 2 Zemaitis basses and Geddy Lee wanted to buy them from him. He kept the one above and sold Ged his other one.

 

They were a great band.

Although not a fan I love all what I've heard of the faces. I would imagine, as I also think with Jimi Hendrix, the studio albums dont come close to how good they would be live.

I’ve got that picture hanging on my kitchen wall!

Debris brings a lump to the throat every time.

Re. Maybe I’m Amazed above. He sings it well but you have to feel for RL knowing that Rod is about to effortlessly take it up a good three notches when he joins in!

A great band...

A few years ago in the course of my work, I went into the loft of Ronnie Lane's former flat in Kentish Town. Amongst the clutter was an old nondescript semi acoustic type bass. I remember it had a dealers sticker from somewhere in east London and no bridge. There was also an old Zemaitis case which I asked the owner - who was his partner up to his death - if I could look inside. Sadly the bass was long gone, taken by a relative, if I remember correctly. An interesting afternoon at work.

Indeed.
