Tell Me :
Talk
The Who were always impressive ...but I never had the sense that they had the same respect & interaction wth their live audience that the Stones and the Faces had.
I think they sometimes just took themselves a bit too seriously.
It was almost a sthough they were playing for themselves and you were previleged to be present . You were consequently in awe of them...but you didn't love them.

That is really well put Spud: you were in awe of the Who, but did not love them.
...but you have heard him:

I did see both The Faces and The Who in the mid-70's. Nobody back then would think The Faces were anywhere as good a rock and roll band as The Who...
Me and my friends did.
Absolutely the same here. Faces were second only to the Stones with all my friends. The Who were fantastic, but for me a bit too bombastic. I like the Who best early on when they did "Legal Matter" and "Anywhere Anyhow"; later on I take "Quadrophenia" by miles over "Tommy". (Even though 'Quadrophenia' seems to be the same song over and over for 4 sides LOL)

Who is Jessie Ed Davis, and how come I never heard of him?
....Please don't post his wiki page, I've already seen it.
Speaking of the Faces, I saw them at the Hollywood Palladium in 1972 and 1973. That '72 show was one of the best I've seen. Ronnie Lane still with the band, and a bar (with bartender) set up on the stage!
