POST: Ron WOOD with FACES 1975 – The Last US Tour Vol 02 – 20th September 1975 - HOUSTON
Ron Wood
with
Faces
19th August 1975 – 1st November 1975
The Last US Tour
After Ronnie Lane left Faces in mid-1973 also Ronnie Wood slowly started to drift away from his beloved band by releasing two solo albums, appearing as a guest musician on a Rolling Stones album (uncredited on It's Only Rock'n Roll), doing sessions for their next one (Black And Blue) and most notably joining the Stones in spring 1975 for their big US tour which went until August 8, 1975. Just a few days later Ronnie was already rehearsing with the Faces again for what became their last US tour and their last regular tour ever. This last tour also had a first: Jesse Ed Davis (ex-Taj Mahal and renowned session guitarist) joined the band as a second guitar player. Officially because Rod wanted to recreate his Atlantic Crossing sound…
Thanks to the ones who shared their recordings, in particular to nzb, also for his advice and inspiration.

Here I used nzb’s version again which was coming from the same recording as mine but was better transferred.
I equilibrated the channels and I tried to compensate the channels' disequilibrations that were also in fragments like on ‘I’m Losing You’ or on ‘Bring It On Home To Me/You Send Me’.
I refocused the sound, which was often in advance on the left channel.
As exit music ‘You Can Make Me Dance, Sing Or Anything’ was played from playback: this official version showed that the recordings had to be decelerated by -3%. Because of this deceleration the duration was over 80 minutes: I chose to do the separation for the two cd-rs after ‘Big Bayou’ as there was a gap (tape flip?) anyway.
