Faces

In the spring of 1975, Faces were riding high on the success of their album 'Ooh La La,' which had been released just a year prior. This live recording from 'The Midnight Special' showcases the band's signature blend of rock and roll infused with a slew of emotional undertones, making it a memorable performance for both fans and casual viewers alike. Notably, this was a time of transition as Rod Stewart was becoming increasingly popular as a solo artist. It’s intriguing to see him straddling that line between solo stardom and band identity during this performance. 'You Wear It Well' and 'Maggie May' highlight his distinctive vocal style, remaining fan favorites and exemplifying Faces’ unique sound. This moment in their history is not just about the music; it's a snapshot of the band's evolution and a testament to their influence in the rock genre.
