Humble Pie with Steve Marriott

[VintAxe]

Humble Pie was one of my favorite concerts in the early 1970's. Steve Marriott was like a man possessed on stage and the band was madeup of very solid musicians. As a bass player, I particularly enjoyed Greg Ridley's bass work.



Here's an early 70's version of the band after Peter Frampton had been replaced with Clem Clempson. The sound is a bit rough but the energy is there. Check out "I Don't Need No Doctor" here:



BTW, I think Marriott did need a doctor. He died much too soon in 1991.

Just for contrast, Here's a video of Steve Marriott performing with the Small Faces in the late 1960's.

The song is Itchycoo Park which is pretty sappy other than the fact they said "get high". I remember being totally sucked in by that phasing effect on the vocal in the breakdown.

Going back a bit further, Steve Marriott and the Small Faces perform "What'cha Gonna Do About It" and "Sha-La-La-La-Lee", October 21st, 1966 on the German TV Show Beat, Beat, Beat.
