thanks! i can see that now...I had an an old gibson years ago with chrome p 90's, you usually see humbuckers on a tele that look a bit more understated...like a tele custom...
I'm a big SF fan and a gearhead...looks like somebody added some kind of aftermarket pu on marriott's sb tele..what kind of bass is dat,too? looks like Mac's playing a 50's wurly and a B3......great song BTW ! anyone?
I am 57 and my kids are grown up now but we allll love the sixties music- and now even the grand kids- you want to be at our house for parties- fantastic. The shite people call music today simply isn`t
One of the greatest bands of all time and one of the greatest songs ever written. These guys have been such an inspiration to me musically. They deserve every bit of recognition and honor they can get. Rip Ronnie and Steve . I love you guys.
What a tune!!! One of the most underrated bands of the sixties!!! Ogdens nut gone flake one of the great albums of all time a must for everybody's collection!!! Rip Marriott and Lane!!!
Whoever dislikes this is tone deaf, clueless, unimaginative and uncool. One of the best bands to raise through the 60's ranks of rock. Steve Marriott had a musicians soul and don't it just show. Steve and Ronnie R.I.P.
Groovy tune. Great physchedlic rifts. It is a pity that this band doesn't get much air play on the radio now days. I do not think the representer on this show is very lively. I think they should have had a dj off radio Caroline doing the introductions. Still you cannnot beat a real 60s sound. Love the out fits they are wearing!
Harrietcow , the small faces were fantastic and could play this good live, but the drums are always a give away, there is no way of hitting the cymbals that hard without them moving. Tv shows used to stop groups playing live to prevent mistakes.
@mrbiggles9999 Agree with you. The show this was taken from looks a bit like the forerunner of "The Old Grey Whistle Test" from the 1970's which showed bands in a live setting but mimed to backing tracks.
This song seems to me to be Ronnie's attempt to compromise with Steve's desire to turn the Small Faces into a much harder rocking band than they'd been perceived. I wonder if Steve had not left so suddenly, would Ronnie have eventually left him? I think it's likely he would have, circa 1970 or so.
Interesting point. The ONGF album seems to be a cross between the two favoured styles.
Thye never lost thier sense of humour... I wonder how much influence they had on much later bands, as much as the Kinks for sure.
This song is a hidden classic, It lives in the dark. Encapsulates some greater truth about life in the UK. But we don't care about any of that anymore now, do we ?
@Incudius A partial list of artists who have acknowleged that Small Faces were a big influence on them - no special order - Elvis Costello, Mick Jones (Clash), Paul Weller, Robert Plant, Glen Matlock, Oasis, Billy Bragg, The Libertines. Paul Stanley (Kiss), Dave Davies (Kinks) and Ozzie Osbourne have all said that Steve Marriott was one of their favourite singers of all time. Not bad for a group of little lads who were around for just three years during most creative period in musical history.
can you iagine a group talking about baking bread... nuts man you have to drop down and kiss these guys for an avenue that will come and vlean us all up later
What a fantastic little clip! A byegone age & what a band! RIP Ronnie & Steve & thanks for this one, Itchycoo, Tin Soldier .........................
Oh Yesterday, Me in short trousers, Thunderbirds, Mini skirts (I didn't get girls but was very intrigued), Cap't Scarlet, the Post office tower (like a real Cap't Scarlet set!) and a sense of space age optimism. Anyone remember?
My only issue is what happens to tho the rest of this footage?? We're invited to journey with Stanley Unwin but what hapens next?? How do we get the chrononology right??
hey! richard hell! you the same guy did the album "you make me!"?with the voidoids? if it's you, boy did you fool 'em. that one guy with you was classically trained. love comes in spurts, walking on the water, yeah!
Vocals, lyrics, bass, keyboards, guitar, drums all absolutely sublime. I first heard this album in '94 and couldn't believe it was from the 60's. Timeless and inspiring.
'Song of a Baker' - one of the greatest rock songs ever, in my view - was about spiritual hunger and was based on the teachings of a prominent Sufi philosopher, Vilayat Inayat Khan, who was the son of Ora Baker. It was written by Ronnie Lane.
Only Steve Marriot could make a song about a baker baking a loaf of bread sound like Rock and Roll Thunder. Get Steve and the Faces into the Rock and Roll hall of fame. RIP Steve and all .
Only Steve Marriot could make a song about a baker baking a loaf of bread sound like Rock and Roll Thunder. Get Steve and the Faces into the Rock and Roll hall of fame. RIP Steve and all
In a live show back in the day I hope this song would have gone on longer and longer with same guitar riffs and jamming piano. Drums are strong on this one too. Steve, well what can you say? Even in the songs he doesn't sing lead vocals he still steals the show with unmistakeable back up vocals and guitar riffs that still sound fresh and hard core. He makes playing the guitar and dancing around look cool as hell!!
Always loved The Small Faces. And they got their name because none of them was taller than five foot seven/1.70m. A brilliant buch of blokes they were, sometimes crazy, sometimes odd, but always brilliant.
@closertofiftythanyew Well, everyone: February 19, 2011: Happy Chinese New Year! Just back from Chinatown/Little Italy in San Francisco-moving right along, yes-in the mid70s as a kid, I do believe I've heard the song 'Itchycoo Park' on an FM radio station and it's possible I might've heard the band's name but absolutely no idea of their history, how could I? Even now, there doesn't seem to be any books about them. I went to City Lights Bookstore and there's nothing on them. Great band.
They have a good page on wikipedia, tells you all you need to know about them.
This video is good of them, in a middle european city street in the middle of the winter, could be West Berlin in the late 1960s, youtube copy paste and search,
@closertofiftythanyew Yes about 48 hours ago, I have searched and found sites dedicated to The Small Faces and gained more information and I even found books about them, which is what I really want.
@closertofiftythanyew Yes, and I have FAVED that as well. I'm sad that all throughout the 1970s, as a younger person I could not have found out about bands such as they and so many others instead of the overwhelming coverage of The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Kinks, The Who, Hendrix, The Doors, and so on....no disrespect to them and as influential as they are said to be they weren't the only ones on the planet. I blame the fucking media for this.
the establishment is always there trying to keep things the same, as they say.
That is what makes popular music so interesting, a battle between ones saying how things are going and the ones with their heads stuck in sand. It is a fine balance between the two.
@closertofiftythanyew Well, Steve was fed up (or exasperated) with the actorly trade, for he saw it as lifeless and dull, with or without his parents blessing and regardless of the talent he had, indeed, had for it: HE QUIT, because for him, it's total bullshit. So, he went with what he really loved: MUSIC, ROCK N ROLL, BLUES.
@Khultan And he quit acting at a young age. And, really, television and movies competing against youth's raging interest in rock n roll, competing against youth's participation in rock n roll. No competition.
Yes, was a very successful child actor when young, but being only about five foot five tall (1.65m) thought he wasn't going to get the roles when an adult. That is how it goes - he must have thought he would not become the next James Bond, so became a pop star! : )
@closertofiftythanyew So, he was proactive and bold in making his own decisions and tossing off the 'establishement', the old folks who don't really have a say with youth. Look at The Cowsills, television people had to create a fictional version of the genuine article to suit their idea of a more fitting stereotype aesthetic. Ha ha ha...The Monkees, too LOL
@closertofiftythanyew Not to go off topic from The Small Faces. The Monkees: Love is only sleeping, You may be the one, Tomorrow's gonna be another day, She, Words, What am I doin' round here? are a few of my faves.
@closertofiftythanyew A child actor from the stage, right? Mickey Dolenz, Dave Jones and Steve Marriot share this common history, though Steve is the true gem.
@closertofiftythanyew Seems so, obviously, I wasn't around to witness what sort of media blitz campaign initiated by the television networks/managers/program directors to supply the masses with the manufactured pop entities.
Yep, somehow it is got to do with what is going on in the media and real life then, forign affairs in the far east, if you get what I mean.
I have got to go now for a couple of hours, got to answer messages from another site. Brilliant chat has been this, hope it happens again, all the very best friend.
@closertofiftythanyew I will check more about this artist after I give proper respect by viewing and listening and getting enjoyment from Ronnie Lane's message....
@closertofiftythanyew Yes, 'The First Cut Is The Deepest'. A song, like her, I have never heard of before. No help from my aunts and uncles, as they were teenagers in the 60s era but they seem to have left no trace of that time as they entered the 1970s as 20 year olds and so on. Odd.
Faces and Steve Marriot, one of the most underated bands of all time. This song at loud volume is as heavy as anything done at the time. Proto metal balad.
Yes, you are right! Brilliant brilliant band. Nutgone Flake is also one of the best, certainly the top 10, of the 1960's albums and is always overlooked. They switch vocals so many times throughout the record and their style fantastic for a band that only lasted a few years during one of rock's most influential eras.

Look at The Cowsills, television people had to create a fictional version of the genuine article to suit their idea of a more fitting stereotype aesthetic. Ha ha ha...The Monkees, too LOL

loved the Monkees, I'm a Believer, I'm your Stepping Stone, brilliant stuff.

@closertofiftythanyew Not to go off topic from The Small Faces. The Monkees: Love is only sleeping, You may be the one, Tomorrow's gonna be another day, She, Words, What am I doin' round here? are a few of my faves.

Do you remember their tv show? We had it in this country, UK. Loved it.
closertofiftythanyew 1 year ago
@closertofiftythanyew I saw their shows as reruns in the mid1970s. I was born on the close of the 1960s.

@Khultan
even if The Monkees were manufactured, still good pop, They say it themselves that they were. But they were interesting too as well, in pop world.

@closertofiftythanyew Michael Nesmith contributed worthy songs and not only from external hired employee musicians.

@Khultanthe one that wore a hat, and was always the sour puss - remember Michael Nesbith well, a well educated man too.
What about Dave Jones from Liverpool, England, lead singer of theirs, quite short, but that didn't stop the girls running after him

@closertofiftythanyew A child actor from the stage, right? Mickey Dolenz, Dave Jones and Steve Marriot share this common history, though Steve is the true gem.

Mickey Dolenz on the drums was the joker of them all in the group, wasn't he? Quite a character.

@closertofiftythanyew Seems so, obviously, I wasn't around to witness what sort of media blitz campaign initiated by the television networks/managers/program directors to supply the masses with the manufactured pop entities.

Yep, somehow it is got to do with what is going on in the media and real life then, forign affairs in the far east, if you get what I mean.

@closertofiftythanyew Yes, 'The First Cut Is The Deepest'. A song, like her, I have never heard of before. No help from my aunts and uncles, as they were teenagers in the 60s era but they seem to have left no trace of that time as they entered the 1970s as 20 year olds and so on. Odd.

Faces and Steve Marriot, one of the most underated bands of all time. This song at loud volume is as heavy as anything done at the time. Proto metal balad.
ZSOSER69 2 years ago
Yes, you are right! Brilliant brilliant band. Nutgone Flake is also one of the best, certainly the top 10, of the 1960's albums and is always overlooked. They switch vocals so many times throughout the record and their style fantastic for a band that only lasted a few years during one of rock's most influential eras.
