Steve was a rock n roll savage mega talent

Totally agree. Live rock and roll back in the day was so raw and spontaneous. Not perfect, but.. you know what I mean. Love this. Aloha!

A great laugh and partying was infectious with Steve about. Cheers mate, you are so. So missed and clearly you did great tunes.

He is Higher than tin bears, but so are the girls.

Absolutely !!! I had the great fortune to see Humble Pie twice... summer of '72 at the University of Akron where they were on the bill with Black Sabbath, then again in downtown Cleveland the following year when Black Oak Arkansas opened the show. Nothing today comes close to the raw energy of that era, where Steve Marriot and "Pie" were the epitome of "bad ass!" ... and, joints were a mere .50 cents each

Well said mate

❤ beautiful

So much great music...so little time..

Drummer Jerry Shirley played on some of Syd Barrett's solo recordings.

I think the Marriott live in London with pkt off 3 is brilliant where Steve does all the guitar playing shows how good he was eg 5 long years and love his interview,

Amen, sister!!

🎶❤️💕❤️🎶

Makes me feel good

Fantastic just got Smokin on vinyl

​@@doodahdavesrecords4319 ain't nothing like being in the actual hole at the county jail, and hearing, "Thirty Days in the Hole," on the radio. Yes me way back then, for a little smoking. The hole, I requested it. It's much safer there. You can jam while reading the Bible in peace.

The Dead Daisies do it better on the album Holy Ground. Glenn Hughes is the greatest singer in Rock today.

Wish they would have turned Greg's mike up, his voice was an integral part of their sound.

Paul Rodgers and Steve Winwood were no slouches.

​@@frederickvanpelt6393 Uh, don't leave Terry Reid off that list

Real rock band with the best of musicians doing what so many can not.

@@allrequiredfields thanks for the heads up, there are a few who stand out and Terry Reid is up at the top among them.

That kit is HUGE

Looks like a 16x16 floor tom Jerry's using for his rack tom!🥁

Don't be sad. Unless you knew him personally, he's as much here now as he ever was - on records, video tape and digital. A kind of immortality few of us get to experience.

@@commentatron Well said. Thanks to KZfaq we can relive all these great performances.

And Greg Ridley as well , one bad ass Bass player & singer.

@@paullevine1813 ...yes he was !

King Biscuit was a great show! I loved it.

I forgot to mention something interesting. I was on the Discogs site, and I noticed some ppl are selling King Biscuit vinyl albums. Apparently radio stations were supposed to either destroy or return the albums after airing the show, but some obviously didn’t. It’s pretty cool to see. I wish I could buy the one with Pat Benatar. I think there were also some records from “Off the Record with Mary Turner.”

@@patrickdaly5068 Loved both shows. To have them on vinyl, would be Heaven on earth. I bet they are expensive. I have both shows on CD. I heard both shows when they were a new broadcast.

Their self-titled, Rock On and Smokin' albums all contain at least one soul song but Eat It was the first with The Blackberries and is loaded with soul tunes.

late night 🤣

And will ALWAYS remain one of the most "bad ass" bands to ever walk out on a stage! I just turned 64 years young back on April 7, I've been playing guitar now for 57 years, and although I may be "older" now, but at least I got to see some of the best bands to ever exist!! I even got to see Jimi Hendrix when I was only 7 years old in 1967 and that one concert changed the course of my life, because before seeing Jimi I wanted to be a drummer and had already started learning some from my first cousin. But after seeing Jimi I knew that night coming back home that I wanted to ditch the drums and learn how to play the guitar so I did. I would rate Humble Pie as being in the top 10 bands that I've ever seen and heard!! When you listen to bands from the late 60's on up through the 70's and then listen to the modern music of today you've gotta ask yourself one question. What in the hell happened to music? Where are all the really good bands like put out one hit record after another?? Don't bands still exist that can do a live show without vocal "pitch correction" processors and without vocal harmonizer processors? Now days well over half the bands that you hear on the radio can't even play a live concert without their "crutches" for one simple fact. They will sound like pure shit!!!!!!! And that within itself is like a big slap in the face to all of the bands that sometimes practiced 12 hours or more per day just to make sure their vocal harmonies and guitar parts and the beginnings and endings of songs were perfect in every way possible! Most bands now days only care about one thing, "appearing" to look cool, "appearing" to sound great and "making loads of money" for themselves and the record companies!! Some of the bands these days have NO REAL TALENTS at all except for being a magician by being able to "fool" or "hoodwink" their listening fans who think they are the greatest thing since sliced bread!! All I'll say to all the REAL BANDS who've paid their dues, keep on rockin' because your music will live on LONG AFTER the FAKE good bands have been forgotten and are nothing more than a faded foggy memory!!!!!!!

@@julianjeffbissette7238 agreed. Seems we have a lot in common Brother, I just turned 69 and happy to say still Rocking I also play guitar and have for years and as I have told many…. The later it gets, the better I sound Ha! Also, I too saw Jimi Hendrix as a kid at a concert in Charlotte, NC at my 1st concert Had gone to see The Monkess and Hendrix was the opening act Everybody booed him because we were kids there to see Davy Jones & the Monkees (LOL) Couple years later I bought Jimi’s album Are You Experienced? and I’m looking at the album cover and all of a sudden it was like WAIT! I KNOW THIS GUY!!!!!! Have told many this story thru the years and many called BS, told them to look it up on Google to see if Hendrix opened for The Monkees to only have them to reach back out & go damn, never would of thought that Strange but True Anyway, just had to respond to another “Old Rocker” Keep safe brother & keep on Rockin! Slow down and th’ Bastards’ll catch ya! Been my mantra for years and so far has served me and Keef Richards well! ☠️😉☠️

@@julianjeffbissette7238 agreed 100% I’m 69 & still Rockin’ Saw a T shirt recently that I love, it said… “Yeah, I’m Old BUT I got to see all the Great Bands Live!” Ain’t that the truth??!!!! Safe safe Brother & Keep on Rockin’! Been my Mantra for years, Slow down and th’ Bastards’ll catch you! So far it has served me & Keef Richards well 😂 ☠️😉☠️

@dirkevans3443 kids these days haven't the foggiest idea what a REAL band with REAL talent even is or sounds like! Yes my brother, we may be older now but yes we did get to see the BEST BANDS to ever walk out on a stage anytime, anyplace, or anyhow, no if's and's or but's about it!! Like I said earlier, if you were to take away their pitch correction vocal processor and vocal harmonizer processor and make them have to do it the "old school" way like we used to do they would be completely lost and wouldn't be able to perform. These days, what used to simply be called a "concert" is now called a "show" because instead of concentrating on the music and how it sounds live they are more concerned about how they "look" and care more about the "spectacle" and now to entertain the fans is NOT about how their music sounds its more like a "Hollyweird production" and they even use tracks of them from 20 or 30 years ago while doing live shows and pandermining their live shows, and one very popular band that rose to fame during the 80's has gotten caught using pre-recorded music like Motley Crue. And there are MANY MORE bands that should have quit years ago are still touring and doing their "shows," and NOT live concerts which the fans are paying these outrageous ticket prices to go see! I remember when a good concert with 3 major name bands on the bill would cost you $4.50 to $5.50 per ticket to go see THREE (3) MAJOR BANDS, because I remember when ticket prices went up to $6.50 and $7.50 we all bitched and complained about the prices going up that much!! I'll keep on rockin' just as long as God will allow me to keep moving my fingers while holding my guitars and I'll NEVER stop playing if I'm able to but I'll NEVER EVER try to FAKE IT just to keep my "image" up as a rock star, which I am certainly NOT a rock star, never have been, I NEVER will be one either!! I'll just keep on keeping on just as long as the good Lord will allow me to do so!!

didn't get the recognition that they deserved? What does that even mean? It's not enough for you to enjoy the music? Will a few corporate industry awards make your like their music more? Not me and I do not care if I am the only person in history to love their music. I do not care what others think about the music I love and I especially do not care about corporate industry awards judged by music 'critics' (failed musicians). The only critic that matters is me, since I am the one paying for the albums and I'm the one who paid for concert tickets in the 1970' 80's & 90's. You'll enjoy it a lot more if you stop incessantly worrying about what others think and meaningless ratings and awards. Caring about what some self appointed authority thinks is antithetic to what Rock-N-Roll is all about.

​@@user-hz6vm7xh8m Agreed. 👍

What i liked about Steve, Greg, Gerry and the fabulous blackberriesis that they did great songs making rock music such good fun and a laugh and party. His lyrics and message was spot on an d sadly many got banged up in a hole for a bit of red leb or nepalese templeball back then.. Thats the stupidity of those laws yet Saville and Glitter were the true demonic monsters not some poor toker with the giggles and munchies. RIP Steve, you were a true legend and beautiful soul who lifted up so mcany of us cat your great gigs and im glad i saw you at the Half Moon pub in Putney, one🎉 of the best nights ever and we partied all night. 😂

Nice, thanks!

Wanna real treat , find Humble Pies Live album called PERFORMANCE ROCKIN' THE FILLMORE 1971 . One of the best live records to date & right before Peter Frampton left the band. A double set record which I'm sure it is on YT .

"That singer" is the one and only Steve Marriott...check out his work with the Small Faces as well. One of the greatest vocalists of all time.

@@paullevine1813 Live at Winterland is a great one as well...a crime that Humble Pie and Steve Marriott never truly received the recognition they deserved.

Yeah, cool sounding backline. Ampeg guitar combos and an Acoustic bass rig. Different and LOUD!

And notice, NO EFFECTS RACKS for the guitars, Clem's wah-wah pedal for soloing was the only effect.

@@RickNBacker true

@@thewurm9177 VERY loud!

You are correct. He was replaced by Clem Clempson.

Sure looks like the young Peter Frampton here.

That’s Clem

As he was and I remember when he left my uncle was so pissed off.. is still to this day says f*** Frampton and he ruined humble pie when he left

Correct. See "ballad of Shakey jake"

Driving out in country listening to Smoking , while Smoking and jamming to the 8 track tape ✌

Those were the days - LOL! I also saw many groups perform live in the early 70's. Still have my ticket stub for Zeppelin in '72 - $6 ! What are Taylor Swift tickets going for these days ??? I feel bad for the kids now days. Sadly, I never got to see Humble Pie - a huge regret....

Although Steve was an excellent guitar player, he preferred to have someone else on lead (first Frampton, then Clem) so he could walk away and get into singing from time to time. If you would like to hear more of his guitar skills, I recommend you look up on YT two solo performances: 'Help Me Through the Day" and "Five Long Years" with his later 3 piece band Packet of Three. He was a blues guitar monster.

Justice

Chris Robinson , in Rolling Stone Magazine - "Steve Marriott was the man! Anyone can see I'm a Marriott clone"! One of many later performers who credited Steve's influence. He showed them all how it should be done. Bless him....

I bought an Ampeg VT-22 in 1974 and it was my main gigging amp all through high school and college. Put in a pair of EVM speakers and it was impossible not to hear its overpowering force. I played a gig where people told me later that they heard it a mile away in the center of town! It was so heavy that we decapitated the head from the speaker cab so it could be transported in two pieces. Also had a master volume installed by Cintioli music in Philly.

Laughing…… my buddy in JrHS played guitar through a Valco amp and the speaker had big tear in it. I think it might have been like 15watts. Well he got pretty good and convinced his dad to buy him an Ampeg V-4 with a 4x10 cabinet. I was playing my Ricky bass through a mid 70’s Ampeg B25B through a 2x15 cabinet. Needless to say that V-4 amp was ridiculously loud. It made us stupid it was so loud. Can’t tell you how many times his mom would open the door and tell us to turn that sh*t down. His dad made us keep the volumes at two if we wanted to play in the garage. He was a Vietnam Vet and you didn’t want to piss him off. Lot of fun times playing in that garage while his dad sat in a lawn chair drinking Little Kings beer. 50 some years later I still have my B25B setup along with my Ricky 4001 with headstock that’s all beat to hell from a high hat.
