The Faces, live from Oaklands Alameda County Coliseum Arena August 30, 1972
We used to check in as Fleetwood Mac; no hotel chain would have the Faces because of the damage and madness that went on! - Ronnie Wood.
Together, Rod Stewart and The Faces made a formidable team with their boisterous brand of rock. Filled with on-stage laughs and off-stage highs, they had a genuine camaraderie, and lived for the moment. The public, perhaps inevitably, perceived Rod Stewart as the "star," but all five members of the band had a strong hand in creating their unmistakable sound. The 1972 US tour brought A Nod is as Good as a Wink... to American audiences, but also gave Rods solo career a worthy Stateside platform too. Their appearance at Oaklands Alameda County Coliseum Arena on August 30, 1972, for broadcast on KMPX-FM, contains the onstage banter, trademark licks and goodtime vibe that followed the band to their eventual demise two years later.
London Calling revels in the 70s excess with a fully restored and professionally remastered original broadcast. Presented with background notes and timeline photos.
