The review

Here is another first timer recording, the opening gig of the 11th Faces US Tour which happened in Rochester, New York on February 11th 1975. This is   a master audience recording that shows a great performance from the whole band at the War Memorial Auditorium; this recording presents the whole concert starting with the long introduction that was customary for the 1975 Faces shows.

The beginning of the recording is quite distorted as far as music is concerned while Rod Stewart is clearly discernable. The sound output improves from Sweet Little Rock n Roller onwards; this concert features also songs from individual members of the Faces solo albums, like   Take A Look At The Guy from Ron Wood s I ve Got My Own Album To Do and Mine For Me a Paul and Linda Mc Cartney song that Rod Stewart recorded on Smiler that when it was released as a single became a minor hit in the USA, let alone Every Picture Tells A Story. This is the first time this show appears on a boot and, apart from the rough beginning this is certainly a nice discovery.
