Why do white people always play the blues too fast??? Listen to the Elmore James original and then this. Just like with "Hound Dog" by Presley, or "I"m A Man" by The Yardbirds and this one, when white people try to play the great African-American blues they always play too fast, real jittery-like. You can't substitute speed for a lack of soul.
@nicodagger well, you have to get your own sound I guess... Plus, if Elvis, Yardbirds and Faces would have played it slower would they have succeed as they did?...
@nicodagger First-Dust my broom is a Robert Johnson song which Elmore did--a bit faster. 2nd-the great African American blues song,Hound Dog,was written by 2 white guys. 3rd-you're criticizing "white blues" while watching Rod Stewart videos.
You should watch the Scorsese doc on the blues..'Red,White & Blues" where you'll see that if wasn't for the Brits playing with the great Blues men in the UK and then taking the Blues back to the States: Stones, Cream, YardBirds, Clapton, Jeff Beck, John Mayall, Peter Green, etc the real blues would have stayed a marginal folk music. It's a fab documentary and at the end you get to see Muddy Waters saying the very same thing...ridiculous but true
@MrMrjonesandme Yes, you gave us the blues. Something good. But that doesn't mean that it should be limitied to only the US. Or do you think different?
@TheDutchGame No I don't. I'm grateful for Golden Earring and Focus. The point is that we all have something to share. The other point is that you are saying "fuck you" to me and millions of other people who didn't make the comment that pissed you off. :)
@MrMrjonesandme I just wanted to point out that alot of americans think that they own the world. Wich they don't. I, as a european, got sick and tired of it. So yeah that's why I said it.
Everyone has indeed something to share. Rotterdam is known widel as the gate of Europe. It is a hugo port in Holland. Something I am proud of personally. :)
That's a Stoneway piano so it HAS to sound good. Not as "real" as authentic blues, but a nice twist o' lemon by the Brits! Back then we liked the British versions as they were updated to the times. Now it may seem quaint or not right, SO WHAT?!, It's good and gets folks into the music and you know that can't be bad! THANX!
@jwahh there is always a different and yes im from Holland so i should only know something about wooden shoes .. but its a fact ( read keith richards book life i guess he s no liar) that a lot of black musician didnt knew richards was a whitey before they saw hum and for instance robert palmer .. i thought for years he was a black man .. can find more examples when i take the time but i wont cause i know you say the same .. has nothing to do with europe or vs .. just ears..
@TheArsong I'm reading "Life" right now too.. it's fantastic but KR isn't a true bluesman. Just listen to his playing here and listen to the Elmore James version that aardappenineez put on youtube. No comparison. KR has been more of a pop artist than anything. The guy's brilliant but he's ripped a lot of American muscians, white and black. AND.. he admits this more or less in his book "Life". The whole thing's subjective, I know.
@jwahh Totally disagree with you, I guess you've never listened to Johnny Winter. Talent comes in all colors my man, problem is you can only hear it when your mind is open. For the record, I'm Black.
Jesus Christ, the Son of God, died for our sins, was buried and rose again so that all who BELIEVE on Him will have eternal life in Heaven. Call upon Jesus Christ and believe on Him for eternal life!
HAHAHAH at a quick glance at first I thought the piano player was Paul McCartney... and I was like Rod Stewart, Keith Richards & Sir Paul??? WHAT IS THIS?!?!??!!? lol
i really like this version...some white boys are better at blues than others. i really like how the rolling stones interpreted them in the 60s. it has a rock and roll edge.
Fashion. It all came from a small Chelsea boutique called Granny takes a trip. The Faces practiced upstairs from the shop and I think got the embroidered and scalf fashion from there,
i've never understood how it was like some weird kind of fashion to be FEMINIC in the 70's im talking bout these kind of musicians... they move and dress like gays or women but they were not gays or women, it's so weird!! xD But Keith Richards is one of the best white guitarists ever i think :)
fashion is strange. these were very "blokey" blokes (ie very masculine) but Disco clothes (satin/silk) etc were all the go at the time. Plus these guys were all into stage presence and the "over the top" clothes were all part of that. ten years earlier the (Small) faces were very MOD, ie close-cropped hair, button down shirts with ties and very tidy look. You make a very good point.
@ozgribbo thank you, and yeah it is weird :) but actually it is just as weird to drop your pants so that people can see your boxers (hiphop) i use to wear baggy jeans like that too but i was a stupid kid back then, now i just dont understand it, it's just as stupid and weird as wearing women's clothes in the 70's...
@Ersontilly Maybe not, but it sure as shit is a fun song to play! Maybe they were all up there having a blast and not giving a shit what anybody thought about it!?
@Ersontilly How is Elmore James' first recording, which was made in 1951, the original when Robert Johnson recorded it in 1936, and it was already derivative at the time he did it.
@Ersontilly It is something; the best these boys could do on that day. Keith has amp problems and also looks like a ghost. His life support system involved heroin, cocaine and Ron Wood. All absolutely necessary by that point. Keith nods off into Midnight Rambler as Ian Stewart (I think on piano) looks on bewildered. An old school WTF?
@SmileyGarrish You are getting your piano playing Ian's mixed up. It is Ian McLagan, not Ian Stewart. Both toured with the Stones together in 1978 and 1981.
Rod Stewart had a chance to give the Faces a payday this year...but he (mult-multi-milionaire) refused to tour with them. Too busy screwing up the standards., ..What an asshole.
I am old enough to be your father and in the 60 ties Elmore became a legend. Blues was hot stuff in England too and everybody tried to copy the great Elmo. . Robert Johnson became known by the cover and great interpretation of Elmore James. You must be a great star if people recognize you by two tones on your guitar! Elmore James was such a man and he was the favourite of a lot of guitarplayers from the generation of Richards even in my country.
@jt123egypte clowns? these guys are clowns? these are the people who due to their good taste and judgement, are the reason you even ever heard of Robert Johnson or Elmore James. You remind me of someone who never got too good on guitar, so none of your peer group is good enough for your envious ass, and you just go back and say , kinda like a bee-yotch, none of the recent talent has talent. go crawl in a hole man, and stfu
@jt123egypte i'm in my fifties, and i know maybe a hundred people who know who Elmore James is, yet Keith Richards is a household name. Not sayin Elmore wasn't the man, trust me he was, but he was gone leaving the next generation to interpret his songs. My favotite example is the way the Dead do "It Hurt's Me Too" from Europe 72. To take a cheap shot at Ronnie Wood and Keith is "nutty" and/or " childlike"
Cletus Coltrane, Thanks for the observations, i didnt know there was anyone out there, now i feel highly honoured. I didnt think i was a snob, i just like good music, when its played properly. i am a musician myself but never got anywhere so its probably sour grapes from me, although i still believe what i said is true. Thanks for your comments. Good luck.
@falconoilcompany Compared to today? By what standard would ANY of today's music beat the Rolling Stones, Zep, Beatles, Hendrix, King Crimson, and yes...The Faces? You must mean New Kids on the Block, Flo Rida, C Murder, N'Sync, Nickelback, Katie Perry, Justin Beiber, and Lady Gaga. Yeah, today is much better for sure...
Get a grip man, the era you lived in was the pinnacle of music for the 20th century by FAR.
@cgraber I totally agree with you but you clearly forgot about The White Stripes or The Black Keys o THEM CROOKED VULTURES or Foo Fighters or Metallica and Megadeth!
@RoomNineOhTwo listen to Bonnamassa or anything by the Black Country Communion ."Faithless" or " Song of Yesterday " would be a great place to start . There is some good rock and roll being created today and if people would stop looking to FM radio or Rollong Stone magazine or even worse " American Idol " for their music, they might realize this . Dig a bit deeper folks. BTW I saw TCV in Indianapolis and still havent got my jaw off the floor . Dan Auerbach of BK's has some killer solo stuff 2
@Cincinnatus1869 Without a doubt! But, if I may, let's include Gov't Mule and (yes) The Black Crowes, as well. There are definately artists out there that are keepers of the flame. Remember, the bands that we loved so well, were commercially overshadowed by the David Cassidy's and Osmonds. Just like today with Britney Spears, Beiber,etc. We'll survive. They won't.
@4everColReb oh yes I have seen the Mule many times and I met Haynes in a Nashville TN luthier 's shop once . A real down to earth guy , you wouldnt guess he was a brilliant artist when you speak to him . I saw the Crowes when they did that tour with Jimmy Page a long while ago . I generally look to the UK charts to see whats good nowadays .
Check out Saint Jude an English rock band with the best female vocalist out there at the moment,Lynne Jackaman,also lucky enough to see Rival Sons in the UK earlier this month who were superb.Also Irelands The Answer are seriously on it at the moment.Good rocks not dead,just harder to find
It might have been ground breaking to them but it is pretty poor stuff, by todays standards, a lot of music was crap at that time, i know because i was there, we just couldnt see it then, or if we could we didnt say so for fear of being branded as uncool. I think your right about Rod Stewart he always was over rated.
@falconoilcompany I genuinely wish cancer on you. You are scum dont ever call yourself a musician again. If you cannot hear Rod Stewarts talent and you ever dare to call him over rated, then you are the most fucked up stupid piece of shit on this Earth. I dont mind people not liking RS, but to act as if you know anything about music and say something like that, 'alot of music was crap at that time.. we didnt want to be branded as uncool' well Im 21, and I can tell you I would do anything
@hellomum99 ..to be around in any of the previous 4 decades rather then the shit that we are now musically and culturaly. The 70s had more great music then we could dream of todat, which actually meant something, as did the 60s. And you make comment like that. Fuck you get an education before you talk shit.
Most comments here for Keith and Rod. What about the great tinkling (bashing!) of the ivories by Ian "Mac" McLagan, geetar playing of Ron Wood, and I think that must be Kenney Jones on drums! All of them deserve a round of.....Guiness!
@SHBlacky - Hi, yes it absolutely is Ian "Mac" McLagan. Nicky was taller, and really skinny, God rest his soul. His health was very poor and he is bashing the ivories in that Great Rock and Roll Band in the sky now. As for Ian....saw him in 2009, shook his hand, and had a chat. Lovely guy - plays with EVERYONE. (That's him on "Miss You", etc - recorded and toured a lot with the Stones.....)
If you ask me, and you didn't, "Note perfect" is a bad thing. As Mebloke69 and Ben909ben said: It's real at least. I know if you gave me a choice between xfactor or this show....i'd walk past xfactor every time.
@mebloke69 good enough in it's own way, but only a shadow of the real thing by Elmore James, cut back in Jackson MS in god-knows when, with Ike Turner producing. That's the True Vine, children.
Was Rod ever really required for The Faces :( They seemed to go downhill really fast after he joined. He's ok but basically just a pop singer and they were better than that :)
What are you talking about. Rod and the Faces had a string of platinum albums. Stewart was probably the best blue eyed soul singer of the late 60's early seventies. Are you an Iranian?
True perhaps but it wasn't because Rod was singing. It was the fact that The Faces were such masterful musicians even if pissed and after awhile as you may remember he left them drifting and went and followed his own little star wherever
that led him.Even after all this time I still don't like the guy and as far as his singing goes Phaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
In my opinion Steve Marriott was the king in those days...after all it took two to replace him when the Small Faces went to the Faces. Rod obviously fared better on the publicity and glamorous lifestyle front.
Just to let you know the context of my comments... I'm late fifties, long term blues and jazz fan, long term fan for Keith, have spent lots of time in blues bars from New Orleans to Chicago plus a number of years as a working musician. Don't mean to ruin this for anyone but my view is that all the people playing in this video are capable of better. Whether blues or jam session, its a bit sloppy playing.
Man thats just your opinion and its totally fine to state your feelings about these videos anytime you please...I totally agree with you also, i've seen the Faces and Keith do much, much better...It's still cool though! lol
Im late forties, been in quite a few rock bands and used to live in New Orleans, and know my blues. This performance is not so bad, because the Faces were never known for being note perfect, and they were a rock band. With the amount of alcohol they used to imbibe of, I dont see how they played it this good. Also, this recording is not really that great. But as far as I can find its all thats available. Better than nothing.
I think music was different then too. Band's didn't just put out a polished version of their latest hit to support the record, knowing the TV cameras were showing their nostril hairs, and with the benefit of all the cleanup technology that fixes bum notes on the go in concert.
What I love about the Faces was their fun and sense of adventure. When they're playing, they're also listening and trying new options. OK, it's sloppier than they could pull off, but it's real, and moving forward.
sorry, although I recognise all the nostalgic significance of this, its not really very good. The tempo is all over the shop, they seem to be confused about who is going to take the solo and when, if every, Rod is going to sing. I don't think it is just a recording problem, there are lots of musical screw ups on this.
Yes you are entirely correct. Not sure of your age but when this music was played a typical saturday arvo and night was going to the thousands of pubs and clubs to watch and listen to RAW music, not always perfect but RAW
The guy on piano was Ian McClagen (sp) who was Ronnie Wood's freind from the faces. Ian was also on the 1981 Still Life tour, which had a great sound. Don't know what's happened to my boys, they are mostly a brass and piano section with overdone black male and female vocalists. THere sound now sucks. It don't have to. They need to change out the lineup they've had since 1989 and refreshen. There not coming out with hits anymore and their concerts are the same thing. I've seen them 6 times since.
Hey your right...I had forgot about that. That actually was better sounding than the 80 tour. I think out of all their tours I would have to go with either 69' or 76'. The Wild Horses from 1976 on here is their best version. Check it out sometime.
well jeremy spencer of peter greens fleetwood mac must have thought something of that ''old shoe shiner'' he played elmore note for note...hey i love keef i really do but he aint shit on elmore and i bet he'd be the first to admit it.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Who cares about some old ex-slave that played the blues...crappily I might add. Nobody would pay 75 cents to Elmore James or that other goof play. Who would you rather go see...the stones ca.73 or some old shoe shine boy.
This was Rod before he sold out. Brilliant!

Robert Johnson became known by the cover and great interpretation of Elmore James. You must be a great star if people recognize you by two tones on your guitar! Elmore James was such a man and he was the favourite of a lot of guitarplayers from the generation of Richards even in my country.

@jt123egypte clowns? these guys are clowns? these are the people who due to their good taste and judgement, are the reason you even ever heard of Robert Johnson or Elmore James. You remind me of someone who never got too good on guitar, so none of your peer group is good enough for your envious ass, and you just go back and say , kinda like a bee-yotch, none of the recent talent has talent. go crawl in a hole man, and stfu

You must be nuts or still a child.Before these lads could play Elmore was already a legend!
jt123egypte 1 year ago
@jt123egypte i'm in my fifties, and i know maybe a hundred people who know who Elmore James is, yet Keith Richards is a household name. Not sayin Elmore wasn't the man, trust me he was, but he was gone leaving the next generation to interpret his songs. My favotite example is the way the Dead do "It Hurt's Me Too" from Europe 72. To take a cheap shot at Ronnie Wood and Keith is "nutty" and/or " childlike"

Cletus Coltrane, Thanks for the observations, i didnt know there was anyone out there, now i feel highly honoured. I didnt think i was a snob, i just like good music, when its played properly. i am a musician myself but never got anywhere so its probably sour grapes from me, although i still believe what i said is true. Thanks for your comments. Good luck.

@falconoilcompany Compared to today? By what standard would ANY of today's music beat the Rolling Stones, Zep, Beatles, Hendrix, King Crimson, and yes...The Faces? You must mean New Kids on the Block, Flo Rida, C Murder, N'Sync, Nickelback, Katie Perry, Justin Beiber, and Lady Gaga. Yeah, today is much better for sure...
Get a grip man, the era you lived in was the pinnacle of music for the 20th century by FAR.

@RoomNineOhTwo listen to Bonnamassa or anything by the Black Country Communion ."Faithless" or " Song of Yesterday " would be a great place to start . There is some good rock and roll being created today and if people would stop looking to FM radio or Rollong Stone magazine or even worse " American Idol " for their music, they might realize this . Dig a bit deeper folks. BTW I saw TCV in Indianapolis and still havent got my jaw off the floor . Dan Auerbach of BK's has some killer solo stuff 2

@Cincinnatus1869 Without a doubt! But, if I may, let's include Gov't Mule and (yes) The Black Crowes, as well. There are definately artists out there that are keepers of the flame. Remember, the bands that we loved so well, were commercially overshadowed by the David Cassidy's and Osmonds. Just like today with Britney Spears, Beiber,etc. We'll survive. They won't.

@4everColReb oh yes I have seen the Mule many times and I met Haynes in a Nashville TN luthier 's shop once . A real down to earth guy , you wouldnt guess he was a brilliant artist when you speak to him . I saw the Crowes when they did that tour with Jimmy Page a long while ago . I generally look to the UK charts to see whats good nowadays .

It might have been ground breaking to them but it is pretty poor stuff, by todays standards, a lot of music was crap at that time, i know because i was there, we just couldnt see it then, or if we could we didnt say so for fear of being branded as uncool.

His health was very poor and he is bashing the ivories in that Great Rock and Roll Band in the sky now. As for Ian....saw him in 2009, shook his hand, and had a chat. Lovely guy - plays with EVERYONE. (That's him on "Miss You", etc - recorded and toured a lot with the Stones.....)

Was Rod ever really required for The Faces :( They seemed to go downhill really fast after he joined. He's ok but basically just a pop singer and they were better than that :)
AsrudGilberto 2 years ago
What are you talking about. Rod and the Faces had a string of platinum albums. Stewart was probably the best blue eyed soul singer of the late 60's early seventies. Are you an Iranian?
clarkewi 2 years ago
True perhaps but it wasn't because Rod was singing. It was the fact that The Faces were such masterful musicians even if pissed and after awhile as you may remember he left them drifting and went and followed his own little star wherever
that led him.Even after all this time I still don't like the guy and as far as his singing goes Phaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

In my opinion Steve Marriott was the king in those days...after all it took two to replace him when the Small Faces went to the Faces. Rod obviously fared better on the publicity and glamorous lifestyle front.

Just to let you know the context of my comments... I'm late fifties, long term blues and jazz fan, long term fan for Keith, have spent lots of time in blues bars from New Orleans to Chicago plus a number of years as a working musician. Don't mean to ruin this for anyone but my view is that all the people playing in this video are capable of better. Whether blues or jam session, its a bit sloppy playing.
dgther 2 years ago
Man thats just your opinion and its totally fine to state your feelings about these videos anytime you please...I totally agree with you also, i've seen the Faces and Keith do much, much better...It's still cool though! lol
MattDylan420 2 years ago
Im late forties, been in quite a few rock bands and used to live in New Orleans, and know my blues. This performance is not so bad, because the Faces were never known for being note perfect, and they were a rock band. With the amount of alcohol they used to imbibe of, I dont see how they played it this good. Also, this recording is not really that great. But as far as I can find its all thats available. Better than nothing.

ausmule1 2 years ago
I think music was different then too. Band's didn't just put out a polished version of their latest hit to support the record, knowing the TV cameras were showing their nostril hairs, and with the benefit of all the cleanup technology that fixes bum notes on the go in concert.
What I love about the Faces was their fun and sense of adventure. When they're playing, they're also listening and trying new options. OK, it's sloppier than they could pull off, but it's real, and moving forward.
ben909ben 2 years ago
sorry, although I recognise all the nostalgic significance of this, its not really very good. The tempo is all over the shop, they seem to be confused about who is going to take the solo and when, if every, Rod is going to sing. I don't think it is just a recording problem, there are lots of musical screw ups on this.
dgther 2 years ago
Yes you are entirely correct. Not sure of your age but when this music was played a typical saturday arvo and night was going to the thousands of pubs and clubs to watch and listen to RAW music, not always perfect but RAW

The guy on piano was Ian McClagen (sp) who was Ronnie Wood's freind from the faces. Ian was also on the 1981 Still Life tour, which had a great sound. Don't know what's happened to my boys, they are mostly a brass and piano section with overdone black male and female vocalists. THere sound now sucks. It don't have to. They need to change out the lineup they've had since 1989 and refreshen. There not coming out with hits anymore and their concerts are the same thing. I've seen them 6 times since.

Hey your right...I had forgot about that. That actually was better sounding than the 80 tour. I think out of all their tours I would have to go with either 69' or 76'. The Wild Horses from 1976 on here is their best version. Check it out sometime.
dannyd1572 2 years ago
Yes the version from Knebworth is incredible. Love Keith's vocals and Ronnie's solo's. I would have loved to seen either the '72 or '75 tour.
