I think it was the Faces' only single to chart in the U.S.


Just got back from dropping off my car for tune-up & new shocks.  Which tune did he play?

Don't think this is a first-timer, but I don't think Dave's played it a lot. Great tune, and I think it was the Faces' only single to chart in the U.S.

Btw, did anyone catch the article on Ian McLagan in the Chron yesterday? Guess he played Slim's last night.

That article was great, I nearly posted the link yesterday. I assume you meant "Faces' only" Rod-fronted single, since "Itchykoo" and "Tin Soldier" charted as Small Faces hits in '68/'69.

Are you making a distinction between the Faces and the Small Faces?

BOS2: Temptation Eyes.

I always think this is the Guess Who, but it's really the Grass Roots doing their best Burton Cummings impression, right? I'm learning...slowly.

(If not I know one o' you guys will set me straight.)

HM GrassRoots, "Temptation Eyes", although they had pretty much run the sound-alike-hits thing into the ground at that point.

I was just gonna say that!  Amazing he played this without a "And now for something completely different" ahead of it.  Great tune though.

that's what I suspected from your query.

Whitburn has not made the distinction between the Small Faces & the Faces, so there are 3 entires with 3 different apellations:

Small Faces: Itchycoo Park, entered the chart on 1/13/68, peaking at # 16
Rod Stewart w/ Faces: (I Know) I'm Losing You, entered the chart on 11/27/71, peaking at #24
Faces: Stay With Me, entered the chart on 1/15/72, peaking at #17

which means Dave broke his own "we go by the charts" rule again.

Yep. The Faces were pretty much a separate band; they just happened to have three members in common. The Small Faces broke up for several months after Steve Marriott quit to form Humble Pie. Then Mac, Kenney Jones, and Ronnie Lane got together with Ron Wood to jam, and Wood invited Stewart in later. Not to mention that their sound changed completely. Small Faces were certainly a poppier, Mod band, while the Faces were a bluesier outfit.

Haven't seen it.  What's it called?  Is it a concert film, or something really weird?

not if the album came out in late '71... he does that with Steely Dan's Can't Buy a Thrill all the time, for one example.

Hey Davefish, you up for lunch sometime next week?  I think POC also works real close to you, so probably we could get her to join us.
