Rating: Summary: A must-have DVD... Review: ...for any Rod Stewart fan! This is a very enjoyable video -- getting to see Rod prance around the stage in the 70's is great for those of us who are fans but were a bit too young to go to those shows. True, as other reviews have stated, the sound and visual qualities are not that outstanding, but they are still good! This is a worth-while video for the price and is a must in any fan's DVD collection!
Rating: Summary: FACES? UH...HMMMM..... Review: First of all, let me say that this group (Faces) has been one of my favorite rock groups since their first album with Rod Stewart and Ronnie Wood. I wore out their 8-tracks, then their lp's and now I have all of their cd's. Having said that, I have to say that I am VERY disappointed in this DVD. As the other reviewers have stated, the audio and video are terrible. I could have lived with that, because Faces wasn't about being pretty. They rocked, down and dirty. That's what I loved about them. The main problem for me here is the song selection. I believe there is only one REAL Faces song on this DVD (You Can Make Me Dance, Sing or Anything). There are 9 songs originally done on Rod Stewart albums and 2 songs originally done on Ronnie Wood albums...and that's ok too, because I love Rod's early solo work and love all of Ronnie's solo stuff too..but almost every Rod song here is a cover!!! Until a REAL Faces DVD comes out, I'll have to live with this one. A must for real fans like me, but still very disappointing.

Rating: Summary: All Right Review: If you want a dvd that has great sound and is very clear, don't get this. But if your into a dvd that collect some of the finest musicans (including a young Keith) and the last concerts of one of the finest bands-get this.
Rating: Summary: Despite faults, still enjoyable! Review: It's true that the sound and picture quality on this disc are not up to par with most DVD releases, but it is still a very entertaining film for any fans of the Faces, Rod Stewart, or the Rolling Stones.The setlist is fantastic, even without the Faces' best-known song ("Stay With Me") and the contributions of the then-departed Ronnie Lane ("Ooh La La", etc.). The Faces take on Berry ("Sweet Little Rock N' Roller"), among other classics ("Angel", "It's All Over Now"), and play a few of the members' solo numbers. The personal highlight for me, as a Rolling Stones fan, was getting to see Keith Richards at a point in time when the Stones were inactive. It was obvious even then that he and future bandmate Ronnie Wood had some good chemistry going. The film is definitely rough around the edges (even the packaging gives it the appearance of a bootleg), but if you can get past that, there are some fantastic perfomances on here.
Rating: Summary: Amazing! Review: This DVD showcases the wonderful chemistry between Rod Stewart and Ron Wood. Not the best production quality in the world, but definitely worth owning.

Rating: Summary: For giggles only! Review: This is one horrible DVD! The transfer is from a terrible 16mm film with breaks and scratches everywhere. And forget the sound... I bought it mainly to watch one of the great Hammond players, Ian McLagan... Too bad the sound destroys all fidelity. The one saving grace is the pure hysteria of watching Rod Stewart prance around and mug away! These guys (Faces) were great musicians. Sone of that talent penetrates the din every now and then. But don't waste your money...
