Faces: Live at Edmonton Sundown

About This Movie

So, this film captures Rod Stewart and Faces at the Edmonton Sundown back in June '74. It's a bit raw, you know? The energy is palpable, and you can really feel the crowd's vibe. Stewart is at the top of his game, and there's this loose, almost jam-like quality to the performance. But what's really striking is that this was Ronnie Lane's last show with the band, which adds a layer of poignancy to everything. You get this blend of rock and soul, with some great improvisation and a genuine connection between the band and audience. The atmosphere is electric, yet there's a bittersweet tinge knowing it’s a farewell of sorts.

This concert film hasn't seen a wide release, making it a bit of a gem in the music documentary world. Originally broadcast as part of a special event, it has limited physical formats available, which adds to its appeal for collectors. Many fans are drawn to the historic significance of Lane's final performance, and the raw, live atmosphere tends to resonate with those who appreciate classic rock history.
