Faces

On April 25, 1975, Faces graced the stage of The Midnight Special, delivering a memorable performance that captured the essence of their raw energy and musical prowess. By this time, they had just released 'Ooh La La' in 1973, which showcased the band's signature blend of rock and roll with a touch of soul, bolstered by Rod Stewart's distinct vocal style. Interestingly, 'Ooh La La' includes the titular track, which became one of the band’s most recognizable songs. This live recording not only features standout moments from that album, but it also reflects where Faces was in their career — on the cusp of change, as tensions were rising within the band leading up to their eventual breakup just a year later. Ultimately, this performance is a bittersweet reminder of the band's fleeting magic and vibrant presence during the mid-1970s.
