Or maybe this one. Maybe they could even get Ry Cooder to play with them. Or not. People would go apesh*t if they broke this out - nice and loose -
C'mon Ronnie do it!!!!

I fully agree with NickB above. It is stunning how well Ronnie plays with his own bands (I remember the Ronnie and Fiends gig some years go, he played very well then too). Just a while ago I watched a DVD of the Vienna gig from the ABB tour. Honestly, it was shockingly bad. Absolutely a disaster, I am so glad i didn't notice it so much at the gig then. Ronnie's and Keith's playing was absolutely shambolic.
And now he is on stage, playing great riffs, solos etc effortless!

Just goes to prove that Ronnie is a) underrated, b) underused by the Stones and c) that he may be better off without the stones.

Does anyone know the Faces tour dates?
I can't find anything in the internet.

See my thoughts Pauly on Ronnie are as follows. Ronnie is a fantastic guitar player/musician who has been second fiddle to the Mick and Keith show who have over the years eroded his confidence and his belief in himself. So much so that he sinks into this morass of booze and womanising. I think Mick and Keith have sapped his creativity and his morale (he's the butt of the jokes) and in many respects this Faces reunion is a good thing. He gets to call the shots in his own band.
I hope that he is able to either negotiate his way into a better position in the Stones where he's better off creatively and psychologically or if he chooses to remain with the Faces he's got the balls to give Mick and Keith the heave ho.

It's not that I forgot. It would have been a great birthday present but we're pretty skint at the moment. My studies are taking the money sadly. Let's hope this reunion helps Ronnie stay on the straight and narrow. He seems to have quite a strong willed woman standing by his side.

The main reason I dug the Fases is because they were so different from everything else
going on during that stage. You had the glam rock thing, and then to see them coming onstage
kicking footballs around - that was something else. They didn't seem to give a toss about
anything.
I saw them three times and got into them right from Long Player. I bought it in the
old stitched-together sleeve, which stuck out like some old 78.
If there were no Faces, there would have been no Sex Pistols. When I had my audition
for the band, I played "Three Button Hand Me Down," and that got me the gig.
My biggest memory was seeing them at the Rainbow. When it comes to drum solos, most bands
go off and have a quick drink backstage. The Faces actually had a bar onstage, with a
barman in a white tuxedo, a towel over his arm. Kenney played his solo, and when he gave them
the nod to come back, they turned around and ordered another round of drinks.

With the Stones he works 1/10th as hard and earns 100 times more money...but it smothers him and he's not true to himself as an artist.
They never really used his full powers as a writer or guitarist.
