Faces have been on my radio today in honor of Rod Stewart's 71st birthday. The band epitomized the excess of early '70s rock 'n' roll, often setting up a full bar tended by their road manager right on stage, behind the drum riser . Stewart on vocals, Ronnie Wood on guitar, the late Ronnie Lane on bass, the late Ian McLagan on piano and Kenny Jones on drums. Note the very 1972 video effects.

Stewart, Wood and Jones are all still with us. Ronnie Lane succumbed to MS in 1997 at age 51, after 21 years suffering with the disease. Ian McLagan died unexpectedly in December 2014 on the literal eve of a tour with Nick Lowe and Los Straitjackets at age 69 after having a stroke.

" The Prinsengrachtconcert is an open-air concert of classical music held annually in August since 1981- 

on the Prinsengracht in Amsterdam.

The orchestra is situated on a pontoon anchored in front of the Hotel Pulitzer;

Much of the audience watches and listens from boats. "    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prinsengrachtconcert

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Traditionally, the concert is closed with a rendition of one of the city's anthems, "Aan de Amsterdamse grachten."
