http://rapidshare.com/files/131147345/LIVE_AT_THE_BBC_PARIS_THEATRE_LONDON_8.02.73.rar.htmlOn this performance at the Paris Theatre in February of 1973, the Faces had already released three albums since their formation in 1970 and are preparing to tour in support of their latest and final studio album Oh La La. Rod Stewart, as seen in the selection of tracks, was also promoting his solo works which had much better success on the pop charts.
Clearly, Stewart was a star attraction. Savvy with the press and a magnet for cameras and adoring female fans. But the Faces had a special charm for music fans. Their ragged style, loose but right playing and blues roots made them genuine musicians. They were respected as much for their "alcohol" content/ intake. Legend has it that this show was recorded for broadcast on the BBC, but was shelved as the boys sounded too drunk. Sounds bloody good to me though
