When:

Short story:

Rod Stewart And The Faces play in The Boston Garden, Boston, Massachusetts, USA.

Full article:

Russ Schlagbaum (road crew) : We were on tour in America in the fall of 1972. Some English paper had interviewed Rod about the album and Rod said, 'Well, off the record, Ooh La La's a load of shit really. Wait until my album comes out. But don't print that.' Well, of course the guy printed it. And Ronnie Lane read these papers when they were shipped over and he was fucking furious. And Rod would say, trying to cover it up, 'Well, yes, but he wasn't supposed to print it. It's his fault. . . ' Ronnie was absolutely irate and he says, 'Fuck the lot of you, I'm quitting."

Ron Wood (guitarist, The Faces) : We used to have a stupid saying … 'I'm leaving the group' - we used to say it if there was a problem, for a joke. One day Ronnie came in and said to me, 'Sit down, I've got something I want to tell you. I'm leaving the group.' And I went, ‘Oh yeah, great joke, Ronnie, it's wearing a bit thin now’. And he said, 'No, I really am, and I'm also running off with Kate.' I went, ‘What! You've got to be joking. I didn't know what to say.’ I did not like that. And from then on he went down, down, down, down, down.

Ian MacLagan (keyboards, The Faces) : He said, 'I'm leaving the group. Why don't you and Kenny and Woody be in my group?' I said, ‘What? I don't think so’. He wanted us to leave Rod before Rod left us.

The balance was gone. It was all a bit desperate after that. The band missed him. We had no pastoral when he'd gone. Rod wasn't interested in The Faces anyway. He was only interested in his solo career.
