December 23, 1966: Release of Glyn Johns’ 7″ single Lady Jane / You Shall Be Gone Tomorrow Huge, with Brian as guest (sitar) on side A Besides this, Glyn Johns’ relationship with the Stones was pivotal, informal, and quietly influential. Brought in during the mid-1960s, Johns helped capture the band at a moment when raw energy mattered more than studio perfection. He engineered and co-produced key sessions, including parts of Beggars Banquet and Let It Bleed, favoring a clean, spacious sound that let the Stones breathe. Johns understood their dynamics—Keith Richards’ feel, Charlie Watts’ precision, Mick Jagger’s edge—and knew when to step back rather than overproduce. His approach preserved the band’s looseness while sharpening their impact. More collaborator than authority figure, Johns acted as a trusted set of ears, helping translate the Stones’ live power into recordings that still feel immediate, human, and grounded in rhythm and grit.
December 23, 1974: Keith joins The Faces onstage at the Kilburn State Gaumont Theatre, London on three songs: Sweet Little Rock’n Roller/ I’d Rather Go Blind/ Twistin’ The Night Away
On December 23, 1974 The Faces said goodbye to the UK with a landmark show at London’s Kilburn State Theatre. Originally opened as a cinema in the 1930s, the venue later became a key entertainment spot before closing its doors (now the Gaumont State Cinema). The band delivered their final British concert in electrifying fashion. While Faces would tour the U.S. twice in 1975, this night marked the end of an era at home and was later preserved as Rod Stewart & Faces – The Final Concert. The set mixed classics and covers, with Keith Richards joining for guest spots. The show closed with Stewart solo favorites and a moving a cappella We’ll Meet Again, sealing The Faces’ legacy at full throttle.
