April 19, 1971, Disco 2 BBC TV Show, London, UK
With Ronnie and Rod our music was not as tight; it became a bit more elasticated, there was more freedom. A lot of our stuff had the feeling of a jam, because we used to jam a lot when we first got together and, like many bands, that's where we'd find riffs. KENNEY JONES

We wrote 'Stay With Me' backstage, before we went on. He said, 'Come up with a really great lick and I'll come up with the words' and we just had it going. Boom. RONNIE WOOD

We were the sponsors of Holiday Inn and Marriott, and anywhere we could get banned from. We used to call them the Holiday Out. We used to check in as Fleetwood Mac; no hotel chain would have the Faces because of the damage and madness that went on... Half the audience would come back with us to the hotel. We would party with whoever was there and they'd all end up staying with us. The pilots would be thrown in the pool. RONNIE WOOD
August 12, 1972, Reading Festival, UK
Not only would we play, we'd also get out and talk to the audience. We gave the impression, which was true, that they could come on stage at any time with us and we could jump off stage and be with them. So when we played a gig it was like a giant party; there was a great atmosphere. KENNEY JONES
1974, Olympic Studios, Barnes, London, UK, recording 'You Can Make Me Dance'.
What made them truly world class was their range and uncanny ability to fuse British rock, Motown soul and American folk like no band before them - Brad Tolinski, from his introduction
As a kid coming up listening to rock 'n' roll, no band better exemplified 'Party Band' like the Faces, and no band has since. - Slash, from his foreword
1975, Tour Plane, USA
In those days none of us would go to bed, we wouldn't be able to. I don't remember going to bed before 3 or 4am, and Woody would go beyond and stay up till the next day. KENNEY JONES
Mac at home, Sheen, London, UK; June 1973, Sundown theatre, Edmonton, London, UK
We'd all go shopping together and see who could get the most stupid clothes made. We'd try and outdo each other with the most outrageous outfit. RONNIE WOOD
When we started to play gigs in England, before we went to America, it was like pulling teeth, nobody really focused on us. Of course, once we'd made it in America and we got back to England we were a big name. It happened there first. KENNEY JONES
