Thanks for that! I had the exact same thought! One of my faves! I soooooo love Steve Marriot's voice. They would've delivered so much more energy if they'd recorded this. That being said, it's still better than what passes for music today.


P.S. You kids get off ma lawn!!!!!

I love The Small Faces. Had it not been for them, I'd not have two of my biggest influences. Humble Pie and The Faces!

My favorite Small Faces vid:



My favorite Humble Pie vid:


And, my favorite Faces vid:


They created and influenced so much good music.....Goddamn! And in the words of Forrest Gump, "That's all I've got to say about that."

P.S. Thanks for the killer vid!

I like the Pie a lot, but for me young Steve's voice couple Steve and Ronnie's songwriting magic makes the Small Faces my favorite 60's band without question.

And don't tell the Clash but the Small Faces may actually be my favorite band of all time. Even though aside from Itchycoo, I'd not heard them before YouTube. All those years. Wasted!

I was a 80's hair metal kid. Thank God for The Black Crowds (& LSD). They put me in the right direction!

on the radio at work. Really, why do these people even show up if they're just going to phone it in? I hate feeble shit like that.
