This is a Westwood One show combining 1973 tracks by the Faces with 1976 tracks by Rod Stewart as a solo act.
The Faces tracks are identified as from the BBC in 1973. Four of them are from the April 1, 1973, BBC In Concert show recorded at the Paris Theatre. "Angel" may also be from that show, but I don't see "Angel" listed as played on Setlist.fm. I cross-referenced it and it's the same track as on "Five Guys Walked Into A Bar." That one is identified as 1973 BBC, so that's how I'm tagging it in the commentary meta-tag.
The Rod Stewart tracks are from his four-night run at Olympia in December 1976. He played December 21, 22, 23, and 24. I believe all of these tracks are from the 24th, which was broadcast on BBC 2 as "The Old Grey Whistle Test brings us Rod Stewart's Christmas concert from Olympia, live, in stereo."
However, the King Biscuit Flower Hour recorded several shows at Oympia. Concert Vault has the 21, 22, and 23rd in streaming audio. I haven't cross referenced to check every track.
This show has been bootlegged many times, under many titles.
As per WIKI, "Olympia London, sometimes referred to as the Olympia Exhibition Centre, is an exhibition centre, event space and conference centre in West Kensington, in the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham, London, England. A range of international trade and consumer exhibitions, conferences and sporting events are staged at the venue.
There is an adjacent railway station at Kensington (Olympia) which is both a London Overground station, and a London Underground station."
I've seen this show listed as "Olympia London," "Exhibition Hall," "Olympia Theatre," "Olympia Grand Hall," "Grand Hall Olympia," and "Christmas Concert."

December 1976 was a moment when things were shifting. Teddy Boys riot at a Bill Haley concert. An unrepentant Bill Grundy stands his ground, claiming he used sarcasm to show up the Sex Pistols.
And Rod Stewart was riding high. The critics still loved him; as did his original audience. From fifty years out, it's hard to remember just how big Rod Stewart was in 1976. He was daily front page news in the United Kingdom. As the Huddersfield Daily Examiner put it, "There's been nothing quite like it since the Beatles."
So... I've put in a plethora of press for you to peruse and ponder.
There's an exchange of bitchy remarks in the press between Rod Stewart and Elton John. Rod says Elton was born to be chairman of a football club, not a rock star, and Elton tells Rod he should stick to grave-digging.
There's an article mentioning Rod was under police guard after "a gang of youths had hired a local thug to beat him up."
There's a six-part series in the Manchester paper, spread over six days, detailing Rod's rise to superstardom.
I've got two concert reviews of the 21st, a newspaper advert mentioning the show was starting earlier than advertised, pictures of Rod on stage from one of the nights (not sure which night...) and a follow up article that Rod was cancelling his Glasgow concert due to illness.
Plus, 300 dpi scans of the disc labels, cue sheet, and the Certificate of Performance!
