Just looked like the happiest bunch of lads in a band, simply doing their thing.. And a pretty excellent thing it was, too!.. Such a great pity, as so many have already said and truly feel, that they were so badly mismanaged and also the (near as dammit) original lineup split up way too early.. RIP, 3 of the 4.. For me, the Small Faces lived and played some very special songs and moments that we're extremely lucky to still be able to get a look and listen in on a few of... 🙂💙
A great birthday song for Steve Marriott . It is his birthday today. When he still would live he became 66. But he lives on in his music.Thank you Steve,it's all too beautiful. Let's twist again !
you CANNOT beat the Small faces you just cant! They were pure magik genuine & pure. "UK OK - UK All the way" to quote another UK music maestro Ray Davies! Aww Marriott - no style he couldn't play or sing to perfection, look at Humble Pie or Packet - God what a gift he had! And Plonk - he could rave, rock or play folk & country too, I miss the real music era & I miss Marriott he was so "it" & he'll always be "it" in my rock book. "Clap Twice" indeed. cheers!
best thing with small faces is you can see theyre genuinely enjoying themselves and not just going through motions as opposed to other bands.theyre not really tied to an image either.what u see is what you get.a real gem of a band
Believe it or not I saw a documentary on telly the other night about small faces and at the age of 56 I really getting into their sound. O my god Steve so gorgeous and tiny man. But his voice is massive. Now I'm reading a book bout them. Talk bout eye opener just wish they hadn't left so young....... But can't stop playing this and red balloon. Love them wish I'd been around then to really appreciate
'I will clap twice. lean back and twist for a while until the day I die!!' Give us those happy days toy town newspaper smiles... I adore this video - so nice to see a band that just played because they loved to, I miss Marriott - I miss Plonk I miss what real music and musicians were... don't you?
One of those rare things over my near on 70yrs in this Realm where I just can't help but break down in floods of tears.....for many a sad reason/feeling & just as many a joyous...as ever, always a profound & cathartic experience.
Small Faces, what an amazing band.Some brilliant songs they made,one of my favorite bands EVER.Loved Steve Marriott,such a character.Great band, great music.Thats what music was all about, actually hearing what they're singing.So sadly missed 😭
I remember one day I played one of my mix cds while ferrying my dad to the car dealership one day...the first four songs were this one, All Or Nothing, Itchycoo Park, and Every Little Bit Hurts. He refused to believe they were all performed by the same band after they had finished up, they were so versatile, especially Steve's vocals. He and Ronnie should still be here.
Hallo mate, I'm a Puerto Rican Steve lookalike!!! Long live THE MODS!! Small Faces The Who, The Creation, The Action, Paul & Barry Ryan, John's Children Status Quo FOREVER!!!,
What a great band. Excellent musicians who know exactly what they're doing and having a BLAST while they do it! THIS is what rock and roll used to be and what it SHOULD be. It's a shame that it's all glitz and pretense and marketing nowadays with no substance. The Small Faces ROCK!
This has been one of my top 2 albums of all time, along with The Yardbirds (aka Roger The Engineer) since I was a teenager and now I'm 60. What they have in common is they were both at that transitional stage between mod/rock/britpop/R&B and Psychedelia. Exciting times when music was in a state of flux and far less predictable. So hard to choose between the greatest voice (Marriott) and his interaction with Lane (for the Small Faces) and the absolute mastery of the guitar (Jeff Beck for the Yardbirds). Happy Days!
I 've said it a zillion trillionn times but Marriott and all his bands were the real deal and Ronnie Lane was a true gem! I miss 'em too . I miss real singers and real players, if there's any justice out there I hope Ronnie and Steve are out in " 'the universal"' hanging out somewhere having a good laugh and sharing their happy days toy town newspaper smiles!
So glad Stanley Unwin's on here. I use to live opposite him in a small Northamptonshire Village called Long Buckby. I lived in one of 6 Terraced houses known as Policeman's Row. Great bloke.
One of my favourite Small Faces performances. Seeing these four young fellas larkin''about it's a real tragedy that only 1 is left...........R.I.P chaps..................
Heard vic reeves taking about this track as one of his favs on some tv show and they played this very clip,puts a big smile on my face,excellent stuff:)
Excellente chanson et vidéo. Très original. Avec Ronnie qui chante, les très sympathiques présentateur et récitant-roi Stanley Unwin. Çà fait vraiment plaisir de voir cette vidéo pour la première fois, mais tant d'années après sa création !
Oh Hoorah! I've found it!!! Been looking for this track all my life! I used to sing "Life is but a bowl of all-bran...you wake up every morning and its there" to my daughter to make her laugh but she never believed it was part of a real tune!! =D
you can not beat the Small faces you just cant. They were pure magik genuine & pure. "UK OK - UK All the way" to quote another UK music maestro Ray Davies!

13-year-old Steve Marriott was in the original stage cast of "Oliver" in 1960 (along with Davy Jones of later Monkees' fame and Phil Collins) and often gave voice to the Artful Dodger's songs when Davy Jones wasn't up to it. You can really discern the stage influence on Marriott's performance in this video!
Nice to see mates having a great time together. This is a really simple song to play, anytime you feel a little blue get the guitar out and strum along, it's better than any antidepressant
Takes me back - me front too. Being in the army stationed in Germany, a visit to England and I heard" Itchycoo Park" and I wondered, "What's this?!" Sure wasn't "Rock Around the Clock" but it was fun and with a little special smoke it all made a far out sense. Then back home somebody got Ogden's Nut Gone Flake and I had to have it - still do. Now-a-days my fave tune from that LP is "Rene" with the only guitar bit that ever sounded like a raucous good roll in the hay.

No matter how many times I watch this video, it still makes me smile everytime.
Me too 🙂
Mir auch 🙂
I've got a newspaper smile!
Love the interaction between Steve and Ronnie. .. Something which can't be replaced. Ever.
It hit Ronnie bad when Steve left
When The Faces became Rod Stewart and The Faces, he could see it happening again so he got out first
Two legends so underated its criminal
Steve and Ronnie were such good friends and a great songwriting partnership. It's very sad that it ended badly between them.
❤
Humour, cockney music hall and funky tunes. That was the Small Faces all over. RIP Steve and Ronnie.
So amazing to see them alive and interacting with each other. I love the Small Faces!
Steve loved the Cockney music hall songs and this was his tribute. What a stupid stuffy presenter!!
Don't worry about the moon - looks after itself. These lyrics changed my life.
Sounds like Steve was reminding himself and all of us of his Artful Dodger days.
I love this bit of footage. Happy as fuck. I don't think I've ever been that happy.
These are MY people ... East Enders ... it's more than music, it's culture!

Just a bunch of mates having a good old laugh. A real joy of a band!
Andy D Too bad they ended up hating each other
@@inabind416 Yeah, it all fell apart after The Universal really but they were some band.
I always loved when Marriot sang in the cockney accent then kicked in with one of the greatest voices of all time.
Yup ,a real joy!
@@inabind416 think it was more they ended up hating Marriott , apart from Kenny Jones , still a brilliant group though
A great birthday song for Steve Marriott . It is his birthday today. When he still would live he became 66. But he lives on in his music.Thank you Steve,it's all too beautiful. Let's twist again !
The Small Faces were always fun . They did not take themselves seriously which made them sound unusual, unique, and brilliant

And now they're very shrewd with it!
Nice to see a band actually fucking smiling!
Coz they're Nice...

The world today needs more people like these guys. People just having fun, and music they like instead of what sells
2020 checking in. Yes we do indeed.
De-Wayne, you’re really Cool and smart but beats up feeds dog sh*t plus elbow drops Jason Neill while buttcrushing whole body
De-Wayne, you’re really Cool and smart but puts hellostranger between huge buttcrack everyone in chat gets sucked into buttcrack
Oh, that sold!
Album was number 1 in the UK for weeks!
RIP Mac. Even when they pissing about they were 10 times better than anyone else
When you are old you have to hear old music, but how more songs I hear like this. I feel younger and younger and I like this
I feel what you're sayin' 👍🏼
An absolutely bloody joyous performance. The very reason why bands get together in the first place: the pure enjoyment 🙂
Ogden's is my favourite British concept (or half concept) album of the 60s
Rockin' Happy Days and " Knees up Mother Brody " Oh yes,deep joy.
This almost makes me feel sad, despite the jolly nature of the song, mainly by seeing Steve and Ronnie whole, happy, and HERE!
Just love this happy tune..a good Cockney knees up..
Oh this band was something special. This video always cheers me up when I'm feeling down.

These spunky lads are soooo adorable 💕
It brings tears to my eyes when I realize three of them are no longer with us.
It's such a shame.
Trocourt im the same
They truly spread joy!
Allan Ostermann yeah but sad to say they are no longer with us :(
bloody brilliant tune!!! rem seeing this on TOTP2 6yrs ago. went out and bought "ogdens nut gone flake". one of the best albums ever!!
Oh, for a minute I thought you said that REM did this on Top of the Pops!
Used yo hear this shit while screwing you up the butthole 😷

Ace band, real characters and great musicians
"Life is just a bowl of All bran" One mouthfull and it gives you the shits.
Good to hear this brilliant tune again.

Hallo mate, I'm a Puerto Rican Steve lookalike!!! Long live THE MODS!! Small Faces The Who, The Creation, The Action, Paul & Barry Ryan, John's Children
Status Quo FOREVER!!!,
@@hectorfeliciano8183 a Puerto Rican Steve lookalike!!!!!!!!!!.....😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱💜
The Small Faces where incredibly underrated, these lads where very young when they where together yet now, in 2019, they still live on in their music.
What a great band. Excellent musicians who know exactly what they're doing and having a BLAST while they do it! THIS is what rock and roll used to be and what it SHOULD be. It's a shame that it's all glitz and pretense and marketing nowadays with no substance. The Small Faces ROCK!
I love the atmosphere they generate with this song, makes me feel like partying with them!

R.I.P. Ian "Mac" McLagan, gone to join Steve and Ronnie in the band in the sky.
Love this track. RIP Stevie Marriot 💔 The incomperable Stanley Unwin. Fab 😁
This tune always made me feel good.That and Lazy Sunday Afternoon.
3.43 of pure happiness!! I can't stop smiling when I watch this. Just the coolest.
I 've said it a zillion trillionn times but Marriott and all his bands were the real deal and Ronnie Lane was a true gem! I miss 'em too .

never a truer word sang in jest. the best Brit band ever
The best band that ever done did it
Happiest song ever!
When English whimsy, tinges of psychedelia and rock collide, The Small Faces. The best of British in 1968.
Mate, "YOU'RE BLOODY WELL RIGHT!!!!!!!
Under-rated group. Gorgeous. Thanks so much!
Love it!!! Small Faces are well under-rated.
They're perfectly rated by the people that appreciate them.
So glad Stanley Unwin's on here. I use to live opposite him in a small Northamptonshire Village called Long Buckby. I lived in one of 6 Terraced houses known as Policeman's Row. Great bloke.
One of my favourite Small Faces performances. Seeing these four young fellas larkin''about it's a real tragedy that only 1 is left...........R.I.P chaps..................
You can see Steve's early musical theater talents displayed here. They look like they are truly having a good time.
The original small faces were the best party band ever!
Heard vic reeves taking about this track as one of his favs on some tv show and they played this very clip,puts a big smile on my face,excellent stuff:)
Just a great joyful song from all 4 classy guys who knew how to have fun with their talents..great
This is great!! Nice change to see some laughing and joking around from the Brit invasion crowd.
I'm loving Steve's shoes too - awesome!
Never fails to cheer me up when i watch this.
Steve was so talented-he could sing in this wistful way but yet also in both the most soulful, deep powerfull voice and in a silky way on ballads.
Always brings a smile to the face, even in times of uncertainty. Thank you Small Faces xXx
Never saw this vid but it just may be my new favorite. Young lads just having one hell of a time.
Excellente chanson et vidéo. Très original. Avec Ronnie qui chante, les très sympathiques présentateur et récitant-roi Stanley Unwin. Çà fait vraiment plaisir de voir cette vidéo pour la première fois, mais tant d'années après sa création !
so love this band and song so much x
I'm having this played at my funeral, everyone will smile . . .
Oh! What a mind blast. Lovely stuff.
The natural humour between Steve and Ronnie is the essence of being in a band! It may be "In-humour" or whatever but it binds you forever!!
Fantastic
A real jewel.great story.good music !
It's a blast to see them having fun! Brings a smile every time!
Brings tears to my eyes. That is what Brit Pop is all about and when it is good it is incomparable.
So young and so clever.
Oh Hoorah! I've found it!!! Been looking for this track all my life! I used to sing "Life is but a bowl of all-bran...you wake up every morning and its there" to my daughter to make her laugh but she never believed it was part of a real tune!! =D
you can not beat the Small faces you just cant. They were pure magik genuine & pure. "UK OK - UK All the way" to quote another UK music maestro Ray Davies!

Live, no lip sync, fun, spirited-fantastic!!
great band brilliant songs I would love to have been there when they did this video so much fun
This is such a fantastic good times song, but there's some pain in watching the video, seeing Steve and Ronnie so young and vital....
Great song thanks for sharing this with us!!!!
Magic..full of cockney humour & zest..not to mention a top top rock band.
