There was this story about a possible Faces reunion not long ago, as in a real tour doing some smaller venues.

Ronnie Wood was complaining that Rod's management was standing in the way over money. Rod's manager says it's really more about schedules. *shrugs*
I think I would actually love to go see a show with both The Faces and maybe a trimmed down Fleetwood Mac. There would probably be enough big names on that bill to draw people out.
I feel very ignorant now but just discovered that Mick, Rod, and Peter Green had all been in a group called 'Shotgun Express' in the 1960s.
(Does anyone know if there's ever been some discussion about Peter Green doing something with the band? I doubt he could handle very big crowds anymore but might be nice to have something.)
I guess it's just fantasy for a show like that, so we have to wait and see what happens next year. The band have just finished a long tour and deserve a break. Actually, it was a miracle to have this most recent tour with all five because I didn't think Christine would ever return. The band members themselves couldn't seem to get over it.
A long video but I love this recording of a Faces show in 1972. Before Rod's 'Do Ya Think I'm Sexy' era! The Faces were pretty crazy though. They were notorious for boozing it up and wrecking hotel rooms. Rod has said they were banned from so many hotels that they started signing in as 'Fleetwood Mac' to get past it.
