God, I forget it's November already, so soon.

I'm kinda with the band members when they say that reforming the Small Faces in the '70s (sans Lane) was a terrible idea:
I'm a huge Small Faces fan, and that's the first of the reformed lineup I've seen. That's some depressing shit. Lane's non-participation should've told them something: he desperately needed the money more than the others, and still begged off.

Could it have turned out any other way?

Almost voted for Steve tbh but, perhaps unfairly, held some Humble Pie excesses against him.

Yeah, very depressing... Marriott in particular is an absolute mess at this stage, and I just get the impression that the band don't really want to be doing the Small Faces thing. I tend to pretend that the Small Faces split up for good in the late '60s and never reformed.

Yeah, I remember that performance, I don't need to see it again.
They always said they'd never play "Sha lalala lee" again, but.
Still though, there's a decent LP worth if you cherry pick those last two LPs.

I can't say that "Sha La La La Lee" is anywhere near one of my favourite things they ever did, but I still enjoy it all the same. There's a ferocity to the playing and Marriott's vocal which makes it rise above a lot of '60s teenybop fare in my opinion.

Yeah, those records/that reunion has largely been written out of their history. The recent box doesn't even mention those records, I think.
