And do you wear your leopardskin spandex pants and sing into a hairbrush in the mirror to it?
He was learning, but good, as the "rest" singer in The Hoochie Coochie when Long John Baldry took a bar break.
Steampacket were great and Rod moved to the front.
But then - The Jeff Beck Band!
Singing "Morning Dew" with the condensation streaming down the walls of The Marquee. Stunning!
The Faces were the best rock fun ever, and I like Gasoline Alley.
I don't like anything now , or for years (the Kenny Everitt piss take drew a line and my ex-misses loved Sailing )
So, sod everthing else.
NOT CRAP just old

I found it rather enjoyable committing mass murder on GTA the other day, 'Young Turks' was the soundtrack

I went to see the Jeff Beck Group in 1969 and they never turned up...
I wanna hear more about this. Pls describe every song in the set, a paragraph for each. Did they do "Ol' Man River" as well?yardbird said:

Not turning up was a Beck kind of problem and I'm 58 now and any detail is fuzzy, but you're the unlucky one!
I also recall Tim Rose (he of Morning Dew) playing there and telling some noisy German punters to shut up and to count themselves lucky that he wasn't Jeff Beck 'cos they'd get sorted out.
The fact that I was at loads of of 'historic' Marquee (and other) gigs is not my fault, I was just at the right place at the right time. That's why I worked there throughout my years at St. Martins ( 3 mins walk away) two/four evenings a week (never spent my grant) and every holiday. Come festival time I was in the office or on site and then Harold Pendleton's PA for about a year.
You might want to check out an old thread.
"have you really ever been to a historic gig?" and then come back to me!"
Sorry feeling a wee bit grumpy this evening-- but am I right in thinking that you thought I might not have been there,or that Rod was crap that night?
I was and Rod was good.
and Ronnie Wood was good too

Not crap for that alone. What a brilliant song. I used to go to this club where they would play that as the lights went up at the end of the night every week, couldn't be more appropriate...

He's tight as fuck too, anyone remember that story George Michael told about going round to his house and getting served a dairylee triangle on toast as a starter?
Got to respect that...

IT'S YOUR DECISION DANIEL
Just downloaded a Rod and the Faces album - fucking great.
How can no one have mentioned "Stay with Me" here yet, what a tune.
You Wear it Well is a top song an all.
I was in a shop the other day and Maggie May came on the radio, and a teenage chavesque black girl (all tracksuits and burberry) was happily singing along and grooving to it whilst she waited for her boyfriend. (sorry for the stereotyping here folks, but i'm sure you know what i mean)
Who thought Rod would go down well with the yout!

Absolutely not crap.
Rod is OK.
I grew up listening to the Sailing/ Do ya Think I'm Sexy stuff and thought it was OK in a 7/8 year old's kind of way.
15 years later I found out about the faces
Rod has had a career of crap and not crap periods but purely for the faces era, I have to say Not Crap

The Faces weren't decent; they were one of the greatest rock n roll bands ever.Mallard said:
That's what made it so sad that Rod went bad.

No it isn't. He was great before he went to the Dark Side. Vote for the great times.Johnny Canuck2 said:
