Rod Stewart and Faces recorded in concert at The Forum in Inglewood (Los Angeles) on March 5, 1975, Not sure if this one was broadcast, or if it was broadcast by KLOS or KMET here in L.A., but it captures perfectly the perennial party spirit the band brought at just about every concert they played during the early-to-mid 70s. L.A. seemed to be special host to the band. Maybe it was fabled Sunset Strip and the infamous RiotHouse or the seemingly endless lavish and wildly unpredictable parties the record company, management and PR firm put on each time the band paid a visit. Maybe it was just Southern California in general, but Faces concerts had that extra snap of celebration going on, and it’s clearly evident on this tape. -pastdaily.com

This recording has up-close sound, so much so that I presumed some of the guitar must have been leaking onto the tape from the stage amps, but Jim notes they were sitting in loge seats on the side, nicely aligned with the PA. For a first attempt on a brand new tape deck, Mike must have been thrilled with the results, as his recording is bright, lively and captures the spirit of Faces very well indeed. Samples provided.
