small faces - tin soldier (live)

[folderman71]

Steve and Ronnie... Always in my minds eye

[chippy783]

I bought the 45

[chippy783]

what a gem

[QueenetBowie]

I was born about fifty years too late.

[kennetharthur1953]

Better than the recorded version, But still has that energy with all the band and the voice is unmistakeable with Marriott leading the sound of brilliance.

[MrSlitskirts]

Great live version; nice to hear an alternate to the recorded version (which I also like). Thanks for uploading; regards.

[KITCHENOFDISTINCTION]

Must agree as nuch as i like others....Marriott is probably the best rock/pop singer I've heard.

[Stephanjnj]

HUGE Sound! Wish I could have seen them live.

[Splitskirts]

Great live version, thanks for posting; regards.

[mothergrace1]

rip steve

[smeltedcheese]

is this recording available on lp or cd?

[rainspirit100]

THIS is LIVE???

[JIMMYBUSHIDO]

steve is STILL the man

[steviecuz]

never heard a live version of this before - THANK YOU SO MUCH!

[currypot1965]

What a voice,enough said!

[Cadmium77]

My favorite SF song and this seems to be the best version of it. The electric organ sounds perfect, really rich and powerful and Steve's voice is in fine form.

[zippitydooahms]

Great, great sound, makes me feel like I'm 16 again, THANKS FOR THAT!

[jakeenan]

Cracking version. They kicked like a mule, with Otis coursing through their veins.

[MAXAcca]

Hot damn, I wish there were more Small Faces live performances on Youtube because this is absolutely fire-breathing rock and roll.

Just man, seeing them live, these guys would have blown me away.

[wilsonmcphert]

My favourite Small Faces song and I haven't heard this live version before. Nice job on the video. Thanks for posting.

[yourtubesteak]

It's obviously Marriot. Sounds different because they are playing it a half step down.

[eyesaw77]

You can tell it's him by the way he goes "Come on!" at the start, almost an uncontrollable verbal tick..

Chris Bailey of The Saints has the same thing - unmistakable.

[padraiggillon]

@eyesaw77 "Come on!" was his appreviated version of his oft used "Come on, children!" which I'm not sure he ever used again after around the time this song was released. No question, unmistakable.

[rona64]

still it doesnt sond like steve , are you sure its him?

[SyndiCat1]

Can it really get more delicious than this?! One of the greatest soul singers to come out of the UK

[happydaystoytown71]

this is marriott in response! to chris/rachel. its rec from newcastle it was included as part of autumn stone/in memoriam album which was released after steve left the band. there is several other live tracks from this concert all or nothing every little bit hurts rollin over. due to the distorted sound it can sound tinted but still value for marriott & co.

[currypot1965]

si senor

[VL1302]

great track

[felicer]

rocks

[bartonim]

Robert 'Percy' Plant owes much to Steve, and I say that with respect to the former Zep singer; it is just that how obvious can an influence be? Marriott was one of the best ever.

[KeefieUK]

Yup - Plant didn't even come close although he tried. Marriott was a one-off.

[mrmarriottsgirl]

@bartonim hello ! To me in terms of blues rock he wasn't one of the best - to me in terms of ROCK Steve Marriott WAS/IS THE BEST - always will be - and you are soooo right - Plant owes his career to the influence of Marriott - in my little piddly opinion - Cheers

MrMarriottsgirl ...

[KeefieUK]

You're so right. I happen to think this is the best song ever turned out - EVER - by anyone ! I still have the original 45. This live performance was all the way from the Newcastle City Hall (N.E. England) 1968.

;-)

[pderus]

@KeefieUK

Agree. Best kick-ass song by the best kick-ass voice ever.

[maceonenyc]

@KeefieUK beauty.plain and simple

[digoxin]

@bartonim With all due respect to Robert Plant, he learned a LOT from both Steve Marriott and Terry Reid, vocally. Surpassed both in fame, not least because he was such a good student. 

[Stephanjnj]

Wow, what a HUGE sound!

[KeefieUK]

What a song - what a singer !! No-one like him - no-one like the SF. Glad I grew up with 'em ! Wish I could turn back the clock to those great days.

[putojoevrsaalgpt66]

Os Small Faces eram os melhores e a sua musica continua para sempre.

[cc1873cc]

SORRY DONT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE SAYING

but am sure it has to be great with small faces in the sentence

[LeChoixdEddie]

He said : "The Small Faces were the best and their music will go on forever."

And I approve this message :-P Thanks for the vid !

[putojoevrsaalgpt66]

Now I suggest you watch the Humble Pie video "I believe to my soul" and listen to Steve's great vocal delivery. His vocal range & delivery are hard or almost impossible to match. Steve is my all time favourite singer, O melhor de todos. The best

[SunnBurn]

Steve Marriott como o melhor cantor na historia do rock...e posso. Sim dúvida, a voz dele foi especial.

[stOOpid68]

@cc1873cc

sometin about "small faces are the best (melhores) and their music will live forever (sempre).."

I tink!!!

[cc1873cc]

once i get things in order and back on track, new house etc, got a cpl of suprises up my sleeve for ya m8, hope everything is cool in the people republic

gonna dedicate a whole day to youtube and get back on track

keep it real

cc

[SunnBurn]

Os melhores...nao sei. E posso, mais temos que considerar os outros dos anos 60s...como The Who, The Kinks, etc. But the fact that their music is here on You Tube 40 years later definitely tells us that their music will live forever.

[putojoevrsaalgpt66]

Claro que ha outros muito bons. Como compositores Lennon/McCartney sao talvez os melhores de todos, mas o melhor vocalista de grupos dos anos 60 e depois na decada de 70 com Humble Pie e sem duvida Steve Marriott.

[sandinista007]

Plonk. sorely missed

[KeefieUK]

I said Newcastle Civic Hall - my mistake, should have said Newcastle CITY Hall.

[eturfrey]

Marriott simply the best. Great rock and soul singer nobody like him then or since.

[totovillefranche]

yeah like u say never surrender, get up and walk tall

[KeefieUK]

Live at the Newcastle Civic Hall 1968, I believe. Awesome, powerful, completely different from anything else that was around at the time. Shame about the poor acoustics.

[cc1873cc]

cheers for the info and for your comment m8

[eturfrey]

Brilliant

[cc1873cc]

summed up in one word

[minimadalison]

Stunning voice, brilliant song, fantastic band - saw them was I was 15 and I am now 58 - still can't be beaten.......what more can you say. Thanks for the video. Alison

[cc1873cc]

[currypot1965]

An Awesome band,RIP steve and ronnie

[cc1873cc]

Great to see - loved this song the first time I heard it when it came out and still a huge favourite - true rock. Sounds like the audience were impressed! There is an instrumental version on one CD but I haven't heard it.

[cc1873cc]
