Great story. Thanks for sharing.

That is a incredible true story. I can feel it in every word you said thank you for sharing. It just makes me love Humble Pie and Steve married Moore. I never got that close but I don't know if it's a good having a lets up on it, taking it back. Rude and a Humble Pie at the warehouse in New Orleans. And what a point of an eye. I said I'm going to see Humble Pie. Some of my friends were in shock.I was not

These guys were kids too that's how much things have changed. Pete was 21 and Steve was 24.

I recognized him ian!!!

@@tonyfrascella1857 Me To but he's no Glenn Hughes

Ian too much talent and to die so young! Too many musicians die before their time is due!

Gone too soon.

I am truly a fan of Marriott, not to praise him into the heavens, im don't tend to do that, we're all still just human beings. But he was something special. The feeling his voice, his playing and his stature gives me is almost unmatchable. Only a few can really achieve that intense respect in me. Ok, im out.

Oh Nancy... you must have forgotten about Freddie somewhere along the way

@@maxvaldez6987 Oh Max...how so very dramatic you are.

Plant IS OVERRATED

Jimmy Page considered Steve to front Led Zeppelin. I forget the exact reason why Steve could (or not want to) do it.

Some great vocal chords are born, they can not be replicated

73, agree!

Yes 1973 I was 15 years old we went to Gerts department store to get the tickets. Man.what a rush 😊😊🥴 everyone was stoned. But no problem with the police. I know because my father was there what a surprise when I ran into him. Like out of that, what was the odds

RnR HOF is a complete joke!

Yes

Sure, but Humble Pie were one of those great 70s bands that could murder live but they didn't write anthems like a lot of their peers. Their strongest songwriter left before he hit his stride, if Frampton had stuck around in the band they might have had just enough radio hits to keep them from being a "hidden gem" of sorts. Free is another great band that doesn't get enough love, but "All Right Now" kept them at least on classic rock radio enough for people to be aware of them. When you mention Humble Pie you always just have to say "Frampton was in it before he went solo". I could listen to Humble Pie and Steve Marriott all day (I have) but none of their songs have the immediacy or songwriting that made bands like Zep, Sabbath, The Who, and even Deep Purple still reference points today. I always attribute it to being so authentically bluesy that they just didn't care to focus on pop sensibilities (I don't mean that in a demeaning way because there was some great pop then) or single material. The simplest way to put it is that Humble Pie is an amazing band to get baked and get lost in a sea of ripping blues rock, but if I'm going to cover one of their songs it would probably just be doing a shittier version of one of their superior covers. On the flip side, I could slam out Communication Breakdown or Highway Star at a gig and while it may not compare to those bands either, it at least checks the "people know this" box while still being a rock song I love and don't mind playing🤷🏻‍♂️

Trust me, if you ever saw them live (I did in the summer of 1970 in London) you didn't under them anything. They just blew you away, Those four left everyone breathless. Great musicians!

Steve IS in the RHOF, along with the Small Faces.

Beautifully put, especially your observation about his voice. That was what was so great about him - his various voices. And his songwriting. And his musicianship. And his stage presence. And all of them fabulous. I just finished replying to someone who called him a "one trick pony" and compared him unfavourably to Jagger! Can you believe it?! I'm so jealous of you! Fancy seeing the great man live and meeting him. Lucky you!

So well said 👏👏👏

Paul Rodgers

@@donjohn2695 Great singer, but poor man's Steve. Sorry bruh.

Well put mate I also met him 3 times gigs in Manchester great bloke really modest said he preferred these smaller gig venues he knew he would get his money, also got to say we all know what a great vocalist he was but probably don't know what a top guitarist he was watching live in London with pkt off three on KZfaq.,

steve`s talent definitely can`t be overstated either! ;-)

Steve Marriott was not underrated in any way shape or form ffs.

@@Eleventhearlofmars He never got the recognition he deserved.

a very down to earth geezer with the pain in the bum attributes of yer average bloke.

@@tejas3818 bad management held his career back but he was still never underrated, people could actually argue that he was actually overrated earlier in his career?! I wouldn’t say that but there’s people who will.

@@Eleventhearlofmars people can argue any kind of crazy idea....see your comment above for example.

Well said.

Perfectly put

A small man with the voice bigger than planet Earth. He's better than Burdon.

His voice is outstanding! I never knew who he was till today. I can't believe I missed out.

Peter played guitar while Steve played the blues

@@ratso1963mikel peter lived it too,i can tell

@@charlessavoie7408 I agree to a degree. I believe Steve made a Robert Johnson deal...if you know what I mean, and the way he left...

Me too Justo '56, great time to live compared to now. They don't even know?

I also was born in '55. Lucky enough to see Pie twice. Once with Peter, and a few months later with Clem. Unforgettable.

who are you calling an old man? I'm 71 today. LOL Peace Off

I was born in 65 And feel yor pain 😎 🎸🔊 🤘🤘🤘

65 is the new 45.

I’ve heard the stories………

You said a mouthful. I would pay a good buck to see a full video set of those concerts. No other band like them.

I got to see them twice at the Paramount Theater in Seattle. They played two nights and we went to both. 2 to 2 1/2 hours of driving rock and roll....

@@birage9885 Note I said I went to the band live concert in 72" in Seattle... Tickets were $4 dollars... Which is also what we paid to see Led Zeppelin. ( I paid $135 dollars to see Page & Plant in 95") Crazy how things change.

I also saw them in 73 in Phoenix. The lineup was Boz Skaggs, Foghat and Humble Pie. One of the all time best concerts I've ever seen. It's a crying shame Steve Marriott died so young.

THE 🐐 OF ROCK AND ROLL!!!!!!!!

I have two humble pie t shirts to keep the memory alive

Marriott small man with a huge voice,too bad Frampton quit they were great, saw them in 72 or 73 can’t remember without Frampton blew the house down

@@thomasblend4238 I almost said the same thing , then I read your comment, oops.

@Personal Email amen to that, music was real back then, not just some lazy brain dead propoganda

You got that right!!! Steve Marriott and Humble Pie were fantastic!!! I was so lucky to see them in 1971 in Pittsburgh, what a great concert. RIP Steve

@@markventura4253 no rest whollta peace much to play!!!

@@markventura4253 I saw them there also, supporting Alice Cooper at Three Rivers! Went to see ole Stevie, couldn't give a hand about Alice. Eternally grateful that I did. He was mesmerizing!

@@MrTheabsolute69 I saw Alice Cooper with Emerson Lake & Palmer at old Stanley theater in Pittsburgh in late 60's. Cooper was well received in the smaller venue with his electric chair & such.

Oh man, that is so cool.

awesome!!!!

wow

Wow. Play it.

Some serious mojo in that.

Cheryl Mardon it’s funny how Robert Plant copied him..

@@no1nestandsalone387 He didnt even come close, lol

Love that laugh from Dirk Bogarde!

Sin palabras todo de acuerdo mi mejor banda

@Liberty for All Steve asked Peter if he could join his band after quitting Small Faces.

Clem fit in just fine...just listen to the Smokin album front to back

Hell yeah, one for Greg Ridley he was awesome on guitar as well but Steve and Peter had that covered already I guess

..one of my heroes from back in the 70s

Amazing voice, such a talent

Who, Ronnie James Did? (joke, but big voices often come out of little guys.)

Deep soul

He was not under fuckin rated. Sick of seeing this kind of comment on KZfaq.

All 5'4" of him!

i was super disappointed in his solo album "Marriott". Most of the songs are weak and the production is awful.

Clem Clemson wasn’t chopped liver either

@@ericaward702 No, definitely not. I'm a big fan of Clem's work on Smokin', Eat It & Thunderbox. I feel like the Rockin' the Fillmore shows kind of defined Humble Pie, so that's my reference point for the band

My first big concert of 10,000 screaming bic-lighting fans!! I was lucky to see them perform LIVE when I was 16 in 1973 at Cobo Arena in Detroit. 3 more X after that. Blew me away all 4X!!!! Epic rock concerts like that don't exist anymore.

Für mich der beste Rock und bluessänger der damaligen Zeit. Er mußte viel zu früh von uns GEHEN.RIP STEVIE. ICH HÖRE DIE MUSIK IMMER NOCH.

Plant was a big fan. A big fan.

I heard Jimmy Page wanted him for Zeppelin but he turned down the gig ..... So did another ....I forget his name ..... Then Jimmy was told about Plant singing up North and went to see him and found his man

Totally to different singers Steve & Plant

Big influence on Robert Plant.I like Led Zeppelin but back in the day i think the Pie were the better live band.

Devere Agard No doubt...I saw both of them live and Zeppelin couldn’t come close to upstaging Pie

Actually ,when he left the faces, it took two to replace him,Ron Wood and Rod Stewart

For goodness sake, it's the SMALL Faces that Steve was in. I wish people would stop making this mistake! It drives me nuts. That hack Rod Stewart and Ron Wood didn't have a hope of replacing Steve's talent. Even the presence of Ian, Ronnie and Kenney wasn't enough.

Previously in The Herd, when he must have been about 10 LOL!

Yep pretty cool stuff.

Absolutely and most emphatically !!👍

Margaret, he's just ..I know!

too true darling

if you get the chance to see the stage musical about him GO

@@roybowers4315 Wait. There's a *stage musical* about Steve Mariott?! Where do I beg a recording of such a thing, assuming this to be an old post. Historically curious.

Hope you got to hear the even better version of Black coffee that they did for The Old Grey Whistle Test, it's here on YT

Black Coffee, fuck yeah! I start my morning with that tune!

Here is a rare treat kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iMmgo72T2Nbed40.html Steve singing Black Coffee with Clem on guitar in 1989 for a Nescafe commercial. His voice is more mature and grittier, but still unbelievable.

socalcde he’s too good

No shit he blows Jagger away

Mick'd be reduced to a roadie in no time carrying Steve's guitar. LOL.😁

@@richardgreen9393 In the same vein as Hendrix blew Clapton away. When he played Clapton's jaws promptly dropped to the floor followed by his guitar as he walked out totally demoralized.

@@bluemarlin2u ....Ha Ha....Roadie Mick. ALL he seems to do is RUIN girls lives! When poor L'wren died, Mick just went out and laid the 1st girl who came along. Ruined her life, as she was 1/2 Mick's daughters age, and all her hopes and dreams of 'Ballet' were destroyed, because of Mick's ego!

Deep joy of a songload in the eardroves......think you're right mate 👍

his own demons helped to keep him down,,and the whole child star thing oftens ends bad.

WOW, very well said. You have captured his life and character in just a few sentences. Most who knew him said he always moved forward, loved life, and didn't complain too much. I read an interview from 1985 where the journalist said at first he felt sorry for Steve, that such a star was now playing pubs, but after spending a few hours with him totally changed his mind, seeing that Steve was truly enjoying himself, just playing his music for the joy of it, not missing the fame and all the hassles that went with it. My rock and roll hero. Bless his soul...

Daniel Watson yeah. i was at that SM Civic show also. Absolutely in-freaking-credible.
