It would be a great to see a Faces reunion, if only for a few shows. They should get Wyman to play bass - only fair to have an ex-Stone in the Faces since an ex-Face is in the Stones.

and didn't ol' Bill play with them once before in a fill-in capacity? I wouldn't rule it out at all, especially if it were just a one-off and it were done somewhere where Bill didn't need to fly to get to....

I don't know, but if you or anyone else has any details I'd be interested in them.

Bill played bass when they reunited at the end of a Rod stadium show (Wembley I think) in the mid-80's and played a few songs.

Rods new album details...... (who ever does sleeve desighns nowadays needs shooting!)

He also filled in at the Brit awards during the 90s. I can't remember the year though I have it on video. The gig continued after the broadcast stopped - does anyone know what else was played?

It is the B-Side on the CD Single of "This" from Spanner in the Works. The backing is a bit faceless (no pun intended) but it's a great song to begin with, and it rocks so it works.

Hard to believe that Groom was left off Shot of Love; when you consider that Blind Willie McTell was left off Saved (I think), you wonder what Dylan was thinking back then.

Mctell was left off of Infidels, btw....

Who would play the guitar? Jesse Ed Davis is dead and the regular guy is close. I volunteer, but only if Leonard K. is on the bass.

Rod just announced a show at the Nokia Theater in New York on October 9. Pre-sale is this saturday. $75 a seat at a very intimate venue. I would go if I could. I wonder what kind of show this will be?????

Damn! I always get my Dylan fact wrong. If I weren't so lazy, I would get up off my ass and check my collection before posting.

If they record It's A Heartache , they should surely ask Bonnie Tyler to sing a duet on it . I think that would be interesting . I've always thought they sounded so much alike

looked at ticketmaster - looks like a one-off performance so far. no indication of a tour or anything on rod's site, either.

Very intrigueing. 2000 seat theater and the price is certainly right.

Never mind what Rod is doing. Mac is the real rocker and the Bump Band is doing shows 3 straight nights in Chicago at Fitzgeralds Oct 11,12, and 13th. I will be going because these guys can really get it on and the price is right. Great club to boot, so come on out everyone and have a good time.

>Who would you suggest goes on bass?

What became of Tetsu Yamauchi?

Sweet Little Rock & Roller

Wow - I never knew that. I always loved Rod's version so much (esp version with Keith on it!). Such a great guitar sound.

Last I heard, which was from Dave at the Faces web site, Tetsu had been on several avant garde-ish Japanese jazz albums in the '70s & '80s. I think Mac has a relatively recent photo on his site, too. Always dug Tetsu's work with Free, though he doesn't exactly swing...The Rod/Ron song on RW's anthology is very good, imo, and I'd love to see the band with Bill on bass meself.
