In March of 1975, Faces were on the first leg of what would be their final tour of the United States. Their previous tour and resulting live record
"Coast to Coast" had been criticized somewhat for not being completely together, and on this final tour the band were wanting to set the record straight. When introducing new bass player Tetsu Yamauchi, Rod credits him as "making us all play better". While this show maintains the loose party vibe they are known for, the performances are inspired and effortless. Rod is truly one of the best rock singers to ever front a band, and Faces were a fantastic band, no question.
This King Biscuit show first broadcast on 11 May 1975 features Faces recorded on 7 March 1975 at the Swing Auditorium on San Bernadino, California and comes complete with the original ads, including one for Lee "Europa Jean Suits", which couldn't have been anything other than a big mistake.
