Hundreds of images have been compiled from the archives of renowned photographers all over the world - as well as the band's own personal collections.
April 30, 1972, Backstage at Tampa Bay Stadium, Florida, USA
America liked the Faces because we were a contrast to other bands, which just played endless solos and looked at the floor. But we were visual, we looked good and we were having a good time, and the kids liked it. It was obvious that we were having fun. IAN MCLAGAN

When you're enjoying yourself, time just goes by. We used to enjoy being together so much that days would go by. RONNIE WOOD

It was all so happy-go-lucky on stage. Everyone was falling over each other all the time. Typical Faces that is. KENNEY JONES
We were honest about our music and we loved it; we loved the blues, we loved rock 'n' roll and we tried to make our own version of it. We just played together and hit the damn things until it sounded right. IAN MCLAGAN

September 6, 1972, Cobo Arena, Detroit, USA
We used to make Cobo Hall feel intimate. It has a really good sound in there. That was the epitome of our playing in Detroit; it never got better than that. There was just something magic about that place. IAN MCLAGAN
I think the bar was a natural progression. Nobody said, 'Let's have one,' it was just like, that's what you do... You have a bar on stage, that's it! RONNIE WOOD

September 11, 1972, Madison Square Garden, New York, USA
We played hard and fast. It was a hell of a four-piece, and there were no rules. We were driving each other and the arrangements got more and more complex. There'd be changes of tempos in the middle of a song and things like that would keep you awake, and made the music much more interesting. We were better than any other band! IAN MCLAGAN

February 14, 1975, Cobo Hall, Detroit, Michigan, USA
I had a long slide guitar solo and I used to play tributes to all kinds of music: the Stones, Delaney & Bonnie, blues, jazz and a little bit of this, that and the other... RONNIE WOOD
I'd play a higher, special sort of sequence and then just fade out and walk off, leaving him to play his solo for about ten minutes. Then he'd do this little riff and I'd go running back on stage. We used to do it every night and one night I forgot. Suddenly I thought, 'He's doing the riff!' I ran on stage, slipped, went straight across the back of the drum riser and straight off the end.

Another Holiday Inn, Baltimore, USA
The first time we went to Seattle, we stayed in a Holiday Inn across the freeway from a drive-in movie theater. And of course coming from England we'd never been to a drive-in movie, we'd only heard of them. So we were thinking, Oh, lets go to a movie! We've got a night off. Fantastic. And then we realized we couldn't go because we didn't have a car! IAN MCLAGAN

August, 1972, USA
We used to love playing LA. In LA we could unpack and literally soak it all up. It was all parties and rock 'n' roll, everything you could think a rock star should be doing - and we did it to the fullest and beyond. KENNEY JONES
