  • it couls almost be goin mobile

  • Rod's raspy voice & the soul-sister's voice hit that perfect international harmony-pitch

  • Oh yeah, did I forget to mention? This is one of my favourite songs of all time.

  • Maddie Bell adds such a magic touch to this song!

    I'm surprised so many people only know this from GTA. Don't know any young folks that like this song (I'm 18) so gimme a thumbs-up if you're under 20, people!

  • Excellent video in support of a Classic Stewart tune. Love vid & of course......the song. Killer!! Much appreciated.

  • The Slit-Eyed Lady...what about her Rod? Awesome..This is why you need to come to YT to hear this song...It's not allowed on radio

  • Very nice video. My favorite Rod Stewart song - and I don't even like Asian women. Good drumming on this one.

  • Every picture tells a story donut

  • I love the format you used for this video...I can get lyrics anywhere, but the pics of past albums and such made it an interesting watch! Happy Birthday Rod!

  • Comment removed

  • the women I've met I wouldn't let TIE MY SHOES!!!!!!

  • thanks for the info! Saw him live in '71..a terrific singer!

  • I don't know why, but this song makes me feel so depressed.

  • @01chohan Yes, there's a melancholic quality about it, about a past better than the present. It's really the only Rod Stewart I like.

  • I like to crank the volume up full in the car to this one its an old song but its a classic and wow wee what a tight band as well

  • GTA Lost and damned : best game soundtrack ever !

  • Great rare pictures.Thanks

  • I'm a bassplayer, the basslines and riffs on this tune are phenomenal. One of my favorites from that era.

  • @DynamoRoberto Same here...I play bass too and dig how loose as those early Faces' grooves and bass lines are...they fit so well. Just like earlier Stones.  Hard to emulate that kinda feel. Something young musicians need to become aware of in this age of mechanized and robotic music...

  • That piece of guitar off the top is amazing

  • Those drums...bud-duh-duh-duh, bud-duh-duh-duh

  • Boy...this sure does take me back...London, 1969. One of my favorite songs of all time. I can still hear it playing at "Samantha's".

  • I love this song in the lost and the danmed it is a sad and classic song for the game

  • Wow, I must muse aloud at the Shotgun series of photos... I wonder what stories THOSE photos tell ? That is some amazing rock archaeology - this is a five star vid. Connoisseur bro.

  • perfect time

  • what they did ith this and the gta 4 glad ending was an erection

  • I love this song! I Everytime i listen this song in GTA4 Lost and Damned!

    Lost MC for Live!

  • best ending to a song ever.!!

  • I must say in those first scenes of the GTA TLAD credits it was touching to have this song with the scenes of the GTA IV missions with Nico running around, pretty awesome.

  • Best. Geometry. Homework. Ever.

  • 40 years on, real playing..listen to those drums and guitars!

  • Love this song

  • and i must say that this song fit the credits of "The Lost and The Dammed" perfectly. Couldnt have picked a better song

  • I like this song before GTA became cool ;)

  • A Rod Stewart classic song... Thanks for posting.

  • 1 person isn't gettin enough of the thing that keep a young man alive

  • Truly great song!

    Just in case, it's OK to love Rod without finding him sexy.

  • Smiley faces!!!!! Simply superb!!!!!

  • I hate it every time I hear Maggie May on the radio, because it isn't this song.

  • the all mighty forgives the lost dont......

  • The Almighty forgives.The Lost DONT

  • WE'D LOVE TO SEE "An Easter with Rod _ MOD ERN ISM

  • pretty much my life story from the first line in the song,just change a few names

  • @cooljunkproductions,

    Yes, it's when Rod almost starts singing the verse too early...

    They didn't "fix" it because it was perfect anyway!

    If you don't understand that in today's "perfect" homoginized, commercial, uninspiring, computer auto-tuned music world, it's how many rock 'n roll classics were made - as they happened. Live in the studio. A take was favored for the feeling, not for it's "perfection". Like this one!

  • @clayopalstar Amen Brother! Compare this to Brit Brit-The Material Whore & Gagme... One studio manufactured with the singer not even necessary. The other organic rock & roll... Ain't nothin' like the real thing...Peace!

  • @clayopalstar it more or less that it isn't a big deal, so they didn't redo the track. Maybe it even went unnoticed...

  • @clayopalstar I agree completely with the whole feel over "perfection" statement. I always prefer to record something live with the whole band and without a click/ metronome in a recording studio (even if someones guitar is VERY slightly out of tune and we made a few tiny mistakes) rather than having everything tracked individually which takes away a huge aspect of the feel. As for auto tune... the very thought of it makes me sick. If you can't sing then don't!

  • Grand Theft Auto VI!! Everytime I hear this song I picture myself wandering around liberty city.

  • I like the singing at 3:33

  • ♪♫♥²↑⁀⁀☼ ;-j

  • my wife is a "slit eyed lady" as he says it, but i think that is an insult to all chink woman

  • Why not lyrics to the song instead of Stewart's entire life story? It's just that there's Wikipedia for that.

  • @theluckyfr0g,

    Well, since you asked...

    This video/music is not allowed on youtube by Warner Brothers, and is blocked worldwide.

    I file a dispute to allow it under fair use copyright law for educational and historical purposes, using pictures and text to describe/illustrate the time/person/event in a way that the corporations cannot block, and the song is then in the public domain for all to see/hear.

    And the lyrics?

    I post them if I can, but there are hundreds of lyric sites for that.

  • @clayopalstar

    You're right, that makes sense. I remember somebody did a similar thing with an Eagles song; they put info in the video. The reason I appreciate lyrics in the description is my anti-virus software won't let me go to almost any lyrics site, but that's not your problem. Thanks for explaining. :)

  • @clayopalstar That's a pretty clever way round it actually...

  • @theluckyfr0g

    Mate,there are some rare and hard to find pictures in that vid.Appreciate them.

    Who wants to look at lyrics?.

    What are your fucking ears for?.

  • @galenkia

    Mate, it's been so long since I commented there was no point in responding at all. The uploader answered my question. I happen to like seeing the lyrics, and I like the pictures too.

  • 'Every Picture Tells a Story, Doughnut" lol I like it when the song gets going at 3:10 when the girl starts singing back-up.

  • @Jgeneraledger23 .. wonder'd if i was the only one to think of that.  ... guess.im not so unique.

  • @Jgeneraledger23 "The girl", as you put it, is one of the greatest female voices in rock music. She was known as Britain's answer to Janis. Look for "Stone the Crows" (where she teamed with bass player James Dewar - you might know that name, if you're into Trower).

  • LOST.MC

  • Every picture tells a story, doughnut.

  • Reminds me a hard but amazing Romanian summer =))

    To go back, it would be hard

  • "The women I've known I wouldn't let tie my shoe" Amen Sir Rod, couldn't agree more lol

  • One of the all time greatest songs.

    

  • fuck all ya'll. this shit rocks. recognize.

  • Brothers for Life. Lost Forever.

  • @TheOhSponge THE perfect song to listen to when you beat a mission in that game and then just drive back to the safehouse.

  • @TheOhSponge Haha, exactly why I am here listening to this :D

  • @TheOhSponge I loved hearing this after the fnal mission when you kill the old leader of the bike gang and escape the prison with your buddies on their bikes.

  • @TheOhSponge The Lost.... I know what's up. Johnny the Jew! LOL

  • im sorry but he's one weird looking dude.

  • @devster117 no hes not tom petty is weirder lookin but its not how they look its how they play and sing

  • @rockcult1 taht still doesn't change the fact that he looks like an alien. he could be the worlds best musician for all i care, that doesnt change his face.

  • Rod could rock hard, back in the day!

  • I had just come home from the living hell we called Vietnam, the calendar was about to turn 1971 and this song reminds me of a time when MY LIFE became a quantum leap better. I met some great new friends, had some great old friends, got a great job, moved down to Redondo Beach, CA. and started living a life I had thought about for a long Tour of Duty in S.E. Asia. Had lost the love of my life (Kathy) to a Dear John and needed to get back to LIVING, not killing. Thanks Rod!

  • what makes you think anyone will show?? We'll be listening but down at the beach. I'm sure Ozzy will show though

  • Great work clay, absolutely love this early Rod/Faces stuff. You cannot whack it!

  • gta lost and damned :D

  • One person does not have any family pictures !!

  • The pics at 1:44-2:15 must be the times that they call "payin dues". lol

  • @rippmaster3000 i love this song after i heard it at the end

  • I sw the Jeff Beck / Rod Stewart tour with JethroTull opening up, in Central Park for $3.50 in 1967 right on ground level. It didn't get any better than that.

  • Superb song. Classic album. Shame he went down hill after this and his work with the Small Faces. This bloke certainly went on to produce some seriously dire music in his later career !

  • @ukjazzer

    So did all the old rockers, man the 80s just kind of sucked in general.

  • @degree7, I grew UP in the 80's, and the little I remember of them did not suck. Neither did the music, which was great ALL the time! I made a ton of cash and don't regret it at all, I'm just glad everything finally turned out OK at least.

  • @GuitaristMorris

    Well, they weren't terrible, but was there a single GREAT rock album from the 80s on par with the previous two decades? Except for anything by Dire Straits.

  • @GuitaristMorris

    And what does you making a ton of cash have to do with anything?

  • The Georgia Satellites covered this on thier first album and rocked it !!!!

  • A friend said to me who would you rather listen to Coolio or Rod Stewart. I was like pfft. Get the fuck outta here. You know it's Rod Stewart all the way.

  • @theworldinconflict coolio lol if hes white he needs  to get smacked

  • one of rock and rolls great voices

  • I COULDNT QUOTE YA NO DICKENS, SHELLEY OR KEATS, CAUSE ITS ALL BEEN SAID BEFORE!!!! so true, so true!!!!!

  • Minus the fame and fortune this song feels like my life...though I wouldn't use the term, 'Slit eyed lady' But I will definately tie my own shoes...

  • my favorite Rod Stewart song ever!!!

  • "Every picture tells a story, donut."

    Sorry, I couldnt' control myself...

  • A friend of mine told me to listen to this song because now that we are well past the teeanage years, it has taken on new meaning. Good reminder of how important it is to find that person that "knocks you off your feet" and the things that keep you alive.

  • Don't loose your head to chick that will spend your bread!!

  • Real foot tapping music , great lyrics , great voice , this guys done the lot , hats off to ROD !!!!!! 

  • Love it!

  • GTA 4

  • Peter Green played bass on S.E. It is really interesting how different Rod and Peter's music/careers ended up. Rod singing nostalgia songs to elderly ladies while at one time his songwriting and performances shook the world from its rafters. Then there is Peter, no finer man ever picked up a guitar, and, if you don't believe me, check out the Stockholm version of Got a Good Mind to Give Up Living. Rod may have been shy, Peter was positively dismayed by fame. He lives in and out of reality now.

  • my body stunk but i kept my funk

  • great presentation

    thank you

  • Rod wrote this too .. right? or at least the lyrics.

  • Brilliant seed...

  • Free, Be, Oui, See

  • the lost and damned is why im here =)

  • @Alex3817 so true, so true :)

  • I love this rhythm /guitar/drums/bass it's like a boulder rolling down a hill.....which I guess is true rock n roll.

  • Every picture tells a story don't it

  • Listened to this while riding out of New York City after a brief vacation there, just perfect.

  • @MrDelegateZERO That line "so I got out!"? Reminds me of when I drove out of Vegas heading for the west coast after 3 days in Sin City.

  • This is my favourite song of all time... It makes me want to get out and see the world.

  • "Got arrested for inciting a peaceful riot" Lol

  • When I'm looking out the window from the subway and we pass Constiution beach, an East Boston neighborhood, i love playing this song. Definatly one of the best Rod Stewart. And did you know Rod Stewart and drummer Mick Fleetwood of Fleetwood Mac were in the same band at one point. Shotgun Express.

  • one of the best songs to end a GTA game

  • My Favorite Raw Rod song by miles.

  • my body stunk but I kept my funk, Whoa!

  • Helped me trough a shitty time, thanks man! :D

  • Every picture tells a story doughnut?

  • @tertommy Hahahahah Yeah :3

  • @tertommy yes, and doughnuts make my brown eyes blue.

  • The great rock of my youth....

  • This song, and Dispatch's "Railway" are two of the greatest traveling songs that have ever been created.

    They convey the wonder and the unexpected beauty that can be found out on the road.

  • I agree, I want this song played at my funeral too! I have a good friend who is compiling songs that I am requesting. Kinda morbid but that's how I want to leave this earth. My 1st record was a 45 called "Maggie May". My older brother introduced me to Rod back in 1967.

  • @1237bailey ha! thats awesome!!! i hear ya, but its better to be prepared right? take care!!

  • thumbs up if u heard this on gta tbogt

  • @gta4fan128 yah that too but it fits tlad way better

  • @htorres11 it does fit better on lost

  • I heard his solo career was crap... This isn't crap. Lies. This is folksier than Faces, but it's still awesome. One of my favorite vocalists (along with Roger Daltrey, Robert Plant and Steve Marriott).

  • i want this song played at my funeral with a bunch of pics from my life! every pic tells a story! one of the truest statements you wil ever hear!! wake starts at 4!!!

  • @ozzyhead73 That was my idea!! ha

  • @ozzyhead73 That's FUCKIN' GREATT!! :)

  • @ozzyhead73 Rod's probably already got that covered and he's probably gonna die a wee bit before you... May ruin the originality.

  • @ozzyhead73 I hope you don't mind, but I am stealing this idea. I will try to remember to give you a hat tip, but no promises. I will, after all, be dead.

  • Reason u search this was becuse gta tlad!!! : D

  • What a great video of such a wonderful song.

    Ever notice how important Mick Waller's drum structure is to the song? This song, more than many, needs the bones to move.

    I'm jus sayin....

  • Love the Faces stuff. Never knew he had a long struggling career before...

  • All time top 20 tunes. Thanks for posting!

  • Thanks for posting the Stewart retrospective. First I've heard of Steampacket. Fascinating stuff. Just finished reading Life by Keef Richards, so my interest in this era has been piqued. Every Picture is an amazing tune. They don't writ'em like that anymore.

  • brilliant

  • Sounds good, first song i hear from him.

  • Rod never said this good again

  • One of the best late night songs ever! I get a charge everytime I hear it! Thanks for the post.

  • THE BEST Rock n Roll song EVER. Check out Bad n Ruin From the Faces Long Player album- these two songs give Rod a pass on that over-produced and unemotional pablum 80's puke he sang.

    All the gut wrenchin' R&R, soul, blues, and R&B he sang with the faces, Jeff Beck, and "solo" late 60's-70's will never be matched by another artist in terms of how much he made and the quality and timelessness of the music he recorded. He may not have the pipes to wail like that anymore but I aint complainin'

  • great job, thanks, super good!!!

  • i believe this is what was once called music,now there is mindless meaningless mind controlling useless dribble.

  • Wow back in the days or what. I wonder if he ever listens to his old stuff

  • @stepenwolf7

    If he doesn't he should. Personally I think this is where he excelled in all of the music he has put out in the past decades. But who am I??

  • Had the pleasure of seeing Rod & The Smiling Faces in 1974 - cried like a baby sneaking up to the front row to try to touch him LOL - those were the days eh? Always loved this tune. I never knew about Steampacket until today, thanx for hipping me to Rod's even earlier days...

  • Can you believe that this is the same Rod Stewart who sings all those schmultzy "pop" songs now? I suppose he needed the money, or something. Damn, Rod! You were once a kick ass rock'n'roller, but now ......... Enjoy, folks. This is something from a long gone era. Personally, I miss it.

  • this song hit me right in the gut

  • @jakelvis100

    Absolutely! As does Mandolin Wind. It is excellent.

  • Hmm. Never knew Rod Stewart was such a shy guy. Your video descriptions are really informative, thanks for taking the time to type them up (if you didn't copy/paste them from somewhere, that is).

  • @CaliforniaTD I won't lie...this one's a bit of a Frankenstein of pasting, filling in and editing. Youtube doesn't allow any more text than this, and I left out tons of interesting facts - including mentioning the awesome Maggie Bell on vocals!

  • @clayopalstar yes the bit that start "i can't make believe that I" might be the best bit I have ever heard

  • @CaliforniaTD I did once read that in the early days of the band Faces, he would sing from behind the amps on stage.
