Ronie Lane (April 1st 1946 - June 4th 1997) was a member of the "Small Faces" as well as the "Faces". 2012 he was inducdet posthumously into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame. This extraordinary Rockpalast show 1980 presents him in a perfect condition alongside a great Band, featured Ian Stewart on piano. Ronnie Lane as a solo artist is rather obscure, especially in the US. Everyone remembers the songs that Rod Stewart wrote and sang for Faces, but who remembers that Lane also wrote songs and sang lead vocals on various cuts? Lane was a great, underrated songwriter and musician. When he left Faces to record music he loved - blues, boogie woogie, early rock and country - he remained in obscurity but loved by his fans. The set list here includes songs recorded by Faces and by Ronnie's band, Slim Chance. The song "I'm Ready" is indicated as written by Willie Dixon, but it is the song by the same title written and recorded by Fats Domino and shares nothing but the title with Dixon's song. The performance is spirited and fun. Lane is obviously enjoying himself on stage, playing music that he loves. The real highlight is the performance of the late Ian Stewart on piano. "Stu" was one of the founding members of The Rolling Stones, even before Mick or Keith joined the band. Although he was pushed out of the spotlight by manager Andrew Oldham, Stu remained to play keys on stage and in the studio with The Stones, and other band members considered the Stones to be "Stu's band." Stu was a premiere boogie woogie style piano player and the proof is right here on this disc. If you are a fan of roots rock, folk, and blues, you might enjoy this.

From the first moment of the opener “Cat Melody (Rats Tales)”, you can feel the enthusiasm of Ronnie Lane’s seven mates. Songs as “Flags And Banners” and “You’re So Rude” date back to the time of The Faces. In the classic “I’m Ready” the saxophones players George and Raymond Carless are prominent, and guitarist Henry McCullough and accordion player Charlie Hart shine in “Kuschty Rye”. The band swings and shuffles with pleasure through a suggestive “Rocket 69”, and Chuck Berry’s “You Never Can Tell” is a lot of fun – depending on how you see it – despite or because of Ronnie Lane’s little lyrical blackout! Only short after this Rockpalast gig, Lane’s health grew worse. All friends of the popular and humorous Briton were in shock. In September 1983, an all-star band gathered to bring in money for the relief organisation ARMS that Ronnie Lane had founded to help with the research of the still unexplored disease. Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck, Steve Winwood, Bill Wyman, Charlie Watts, Kenney Jones and many more played at the Royal Albert Hall to bring attention to the fate of their friend and all the others who had been struck with this disease. Ronnie Lane was only able to come on stage to join in for the encore, “Goodnight Irene”. One year later, the musician relocated to Austin/ Texas because of the better climate. After that, he was rarely seen on stage. On 4th June 1997, Ronnie Lane died at the age of 51 in the course of pneumonia at his last residence Trinidad/ Colorado. Thus, the Rockpalast recording from the year 1980 in Cologne remains a one-time live document of this exceptional musician. “God Bless Us All” were the last words that Ronnie Lane gave the audience to take home.
