And cool vocals also.When Ridley,Frampton and Marriott took turns singing it was a dimension that almost no other band had.

@@brucefranklin6295 Jeez, don't exclude Jerry Shirley. Steve was hanging out at Jerry's mom's house, who pretty much became his surrogate mom while young Jerry was cranking those drums for the band. It was an amazing group, and the chemistry came together perfectly while it lasted. Read Shirley's book if you get a chance.

So true.

@@brucefranklin6295 aren't you forgetting Jerry Shirley?

Plant wished he was Marriot. Not sure I should even mention Daltry ..No question he was the real deal...made tons of hit songs and died broke at a young age. For him it was all about the music

Mick Jagger was scared shitless that he may actually join the Stones.

@@bfinney Jagger's voice is in no way comparable to Marriott's. It's such a shame that he and the other Small Faces did not receive the money and acclaim they deserved, at least in the U.S. I don't know about the U.K.

Marriott was a freak, whether with the Small Faces, Humble Pie or as a solo performer. He had SOUL. A white rocker with the soul of a bluesman. But I also love the Faces.

I saw them at Bracknell sports centre in early 70’s and they were a powerhouse! A wall of sound that hit you in the gut. Happy days. Rock on!✌️🇬🇧

That's a great story Grant. It lines up with what I have read in his biographies. Wife Jenny says Steve was always kind and encouraging to young musicians as he felt extremely grateful to have been given the opportunities he had. He was also known to give his guitars away to young musicians he met if they didn't have one. Both Jerry Shirley and Peter Frampton were mentored by Steve when they were teenagers as Steve recognized their talents and encouraged them.

Now that's what @ mrmarriotsgirl should have said because he was an exceptional vocalist. Even Peter Frampton said when he opens his mouth, gold comes out.

was...

The Dumb idiots @ Rolling Stone Mag. don't think so. Wasn't listed in there 200 Greatest Singers of All Time. They have no idea.

The best

Not as short lived as the Small Faces, in fact versions of the band have existed right up to now however dubious some of them may seem - do you discount the 2nd version of the band with Clem? If not then why discount later versions? Short lived should, perhaps, read 'long lived'. I agree with everything else you said.

@@slimtimslide Thanks for the information Sheldon, you should write a book

Ridley and Shirley played on Syd Barrett's solo album's.

@@vondumozze738 before humble pie?

@@vondumozze738 wow man that's cool

You’re right on all of them. There’s no comparison between Jagger (such a limited vocal range!) and Stevie. And Stevie died, broke, in a fire at his cottage, probably caused by his own cigarette. One of rock’s most tragic victims - terribly underrated.

Who don't like Humble pie been jam n 2 them 51 years ❤wow have a few albums

John Gustafson what year

In the 518??

I know... the 70's camera people wanted to be 'creative'. Years later we're shaking our heads. I just want to see the guys performing. Oh well. At least we have some video of 'em....

@@chriscampbell9191 You got that right. I was lucky to have seen them twice ,once in 1970 & once in 71 when Peter was still with them. First show they opened for Black Sabbath & they were so wound up they played for 2 1/2 hours & Sabbath played for 45 minutes & split very pissed off. Second show they opened for of all bands King Crimson & again were on fire but it was such a big difference in bands they both did fine sets with no toes getting stepped on. On Black Sabbaths show Ozzy & the band did play a fine set but Humble Pie just bested them. I play guitar myself & if you would care to give a listen here's the links to two songs one i wrote & one is with the band i play in now. They are just audio tracks but if yo like them please feel free to leave a comment but leave them on my posts not back here. If you want you can find them by using the green icon button or just click the links. Thanks for your reply I do believe the cameraman may have just been to stoned to film this better or maybe your just right as to them being creative but way to much creativity . We all just wanted to see the band. LOL kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iK6aY5eXq7rWin0.html & kzfaq.info/get/bejne/orCVn9amuZe5qH0.html As they say Rock On !!!

@@paullevine1813 Checked out your stuff. Really love the first track. I think any guitarist here should check it out. RE Humble Pie: my introduction to them was through the Rockin The Fillmore LP, which a friend had purchased. A lot of the jams were a bit long for me at that time, except Rollin' Stone really caught my ears for its stripped down grit, as well as Stone Cold Fever and I Don't Need No Doctor, all of which re-introduced me to the vocal talents of Steve Marriott. Not being too hip to the who's who of the rock scene back then, I hadn't known he was in the Small Faces, who weren't really known here aside from Itchycoo Park. Their mod stuff never got exposure on radio, as you're probably aware. I've always thought Marriott was one of the pre-eminent blues shouters. And we all know -- Robert Plant agreed. :-) Peace.

@@chriscampbell9191 Hey Chris, Thanks for the kind words & I'm glad you liked my playing, Hard to believe it was that long ago when we recorded it but it goes back to 73 -74 when i was still in school & they were jams that stuck & morphed into full songs. I have much more but with so much stuff on YT ii haven't posted anything else. Now at 65 I'm still playing even though the damn virus has hit us hard , I hate to say it but I did get it & am finally on the mend. The band has no place to play as most all the clubs here in MD. have no live music just carry out dinners. Well i will admit for you to hear Rockin' The Fillmore for your intro into Humble Pie was like the first time i heard Rory Gallagher's first solo Live in Europe 72 LP. That was one hell of an ear opener so i know that feeling well. Other than Walk on Gilded Splinters & Rollin Stone, Humble Pie pretty much kept thing fairly short .LOL That was one hell of a band even after Pete left & Dave who was & still is one hell of a player joined. He went back to his original band Colosseum until drummer Jon Heisman passed away. Anyway not to ramble again i thank you for taking the time to give me a listen, I'm no pro but i started picking up guitar as a kid in 67 & by 69 i took lessons for 5 years. Been at it since. I'll leave you with this link just in case you have not seen this performance with Steve Marriott it's a must see deal . As the great man used to say Rock On !!!... Hang on to your hat cause ole Steve burns this old Blues number up.. He wasn't just a great singer & performer he was a great guitar player as well .. Great talking with you . kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jrNzmtSbvqeYYmg.html

The guy always gave a 150%

That's a demonstrably ignorant statement because you skip over the era when rock ossified and the era after that when punk reacted to the fossilization of music. No governments involved, but tastes CHANGE. If they didn't, there would have been no Humble Pie in the first place. All is transient. Don't be sad it's gone, be glad it happened.

Missikech Kechqua Music can't stay the same mate.

One churned out commercial tunes, the other made the music he wanted to regardless of the commercial implication.

@@murraymarshall5865 yeah, that MUST be it. Keep telling yourself that if it makes you feel superior.

Steve did lots of speed and Rod was better looking. A real shame.

Maybe he wouldn't sell his soul to satan for fame

@GrumblingGrognard re. comment by @Murray Marshall - I believe that's pretty much exactly right. Marriott left the Small Faces citing frustration at having to play commercial material in order to fit in with the pop groove the Small Faces had found themselves in and he left so he could play the stuff he wanted to. Like he said "if something works to a formula it gets boring".

was

@@markpetersen2469 You are quite right. Its usually me doing that to other people, so its good to meet a kindred spirit. Cheers.

@@markpetersen2469 Btw, the 'its' is non-possessive so no apostrophe required. Just saying.

@@markpetersen2469 In fact, after some research, it turns out that we were both correct. A band is a collective noun and so the choice of verb depends upon whether you view it as a collection of individuals (plural) or an impersonal unit (singular). Hence, was or were is a personal choice. Interesting stuff.

God damn, imagine him and Steve Marriot partying together. I couldn't handle it.

You are referring to Colt Park Concert Series in Hartford, CT - August 1976. The bill was Gary Wright and headliner Peter Frampton (both were managed by Dee Anthony/Bandanna at the time). This was Peter's first evening concert of the summer tour and the lip of the stage was not taped yellow to demarcate stage from photo/security pit. Frampton comes out waving to crowd and dropped right off the stage. Pulled back up to stage, apologized and went right into the intro acoustic set. Rumor was he had slight bruised ribs and split britches to boot!

That's Clempson in the video not Peter.

My bad, it is Peter.

Kiss couldn't hold Humble Pie's old whiskey bottles!

Kiss could have swept the hall and saved the make up.

Unwatchable! The cameraman has lost his mind...my brain feels like it's capsized.

It's the other way around!

@@carlospereda9792 No it isn't - the Small Faces version of Whole Lotta/You Need/Love precedes Led Zep by ages, you need to do some research.

Carlos Pereda sorry you are wrong! Steve Marriott and the small faces did Whole lotta love before Zeppelin

@@no1nestandsalone387 It's also worth noting that Led Zeppelin was being sued by Willy Dixon in the early '80s for plagiarism with respect to song 'Whole Lotta Love' among others. But they, Led Zeppelin that is, decided that 'discretion(Falstaff, Henry IV part 1)is the better part of valour,' decided to settled out of COURT.😂🤣😂

@@slimtimslide and Marriott "nicked it" from someone else,,an old blues artist

One of my favorite Pie songs...

It's not a cover. It is the first song on side 2 of the first Pie album called 'As Safe As Yesterday'

Where did I say it was a cover???????????? I said it was one of my favorite Pie Songs.

Apparently you do not have your reading glasses on.

kat Mats yes I do have the CD...
