The Faces - Swing Auditorium, San Bernardino, CA, 3-7-1975

I recently posted seven albums of the Faces performing for the BBC, from 1969 to 1973. The Faces stayed together for two more years after that, though without key member Ronnie Lane. However, it doesn't appear that they recorded anything for the BBC during that time. I think the BBC albums show the Faces live at their best, due to the excellent sound quality. To finish things off, I picked the one 1975 concert bootleg that is a soundboard and matches the sound quality of the BBC stuff. Here it is.

Three of the performances here come from the official box set "Five Guys Walk into a Bar..." But if you ask me, it doesn't really make any difference in terms of sound quality. It all sounds great. I only had to make some minor tweaks here and there, such as boosting the volume during the banter between songs.

The Faces released one live album while they were still together, and it was recorded in 1973 with the same line-up here (meaning no Ronnie Lane). It had the unwieldy title "Rod Stewart / Faces Live: Coast to Coast - Overtures and Beginners." It's not a very good album by Faces standards, mostly due to the surprisingly poor sound quality. This one is way better.

This album is an hour and 17 minutes long.

The cover art photo was taken in concert in 1974. It only shows three band members (left to right): Ronnie Wood, the new bassist Tetsu Yaumachi, and Rod Stewart. I would have liked a photo with all the band members, but this was the best looking concert photo with this line-up that I could find.
