NOTE: This show has some different material from the last show, in honor of the 40th anniversary of the Immediate debut Small Faces album (released 2nd week in June, 1967).

The SMALL FACES were the Fab Four of London's East End. But unlike their contemporaries The Who and The Rolling Stones - and while consistently topping the charts in the UK - they went practically unnoticed stateside, with the exception of their one US hit "Itchycoo Park". It's often been said that they were the biggest band in the world never to make it in the USA. After the departure of singer Steve Marriott, the boys truncated their moniker to The Faces and took on Rod Stewart as lead vocalist. In a sharp departure from the Small Faces' mod roots, the Faces were a rough, deliberately sloppy rock & roll band, able to pound out a rocker like "Had Me a Real Good Time," a blues ballad like "Tell Everyone," or a folk number like "Richmond" all in one album. Stewart, already becoming a star in his own right, let himself go wild with the Faces, tearing through covers and originals with abandon (despite his status as a rock legend, he was never as good as he was with The Faces). Notorious for their hard-partying, boozy tours and ragged concerts, the Faces lived the rock & roll lifestyle to the extreme. Their music has proven extremely influential over the years: many punk rockers in the late '70s learned how to play their instruments by listening to Faces records, and in the '80s and '90s, guitar rock bands from the Replacements to the Black Crowes took their cue from the Faces as much as the Stones. Their reckless, loose, and joyous spirit stayed alive in much of the best rock & roll of the subsequent decades.
