Hey -I saw the Faces back in the early 70's at a little nightclub in Hollywood.
Was before I was 21 and there was free champagne upstairs for Adults.. Lucky for
me & my buddies my older brother came and he was dropping his wallet down to us
so we could get up there. The doorman was only looking at the birthday on everyone's licenses, one of my buddies had a afro, guys with all colours of
hair, etc. we laughed about that for days. Once up there you were only suppose to take one cup at a time, we stopped the line and grabbed & drank 4-5 cups!!!
then got back in line.. girls were dancing on the tables after a while..
The Faces were travelling with a Bar in those days, right on the side of the stage, line of beers up there, Rod or Ronnie would come by, grab one, take a swig, and hand it to someone in the crowd... midway thru the show Rod grabbed a bottle of whiskey and did the same thing, that bottle was grabbed quickly up
front!! This was around the time I saw the Stones with Taylor (72) the faces
were a good-time bar band, alot of fun and entertaining, but the Stones were
the "Greatest R&R band!!!! in those days!!! MLC
