Raunchy Faces Back on Tour
Barbara Charone, Rolling Stone, 27 February 1975
LONDON "We're playing as one now like our life depended on it," Rod Stewart announced, looking down eagerly at his game pie in a posh London restaurant. "This American tour is a turning point for the Faces. If we can get that same rapport going with our audience that we had four years ago, then I'll say weve accomplished something. Then I'll say we've become one of those bands that's respected. And," he paused, cutting into the thick, rich feast, "there's not many of those."
