Humble Pie (this was one of their 1st if not the 1st gigs with the new replacement for Peter Frampton, Dave “Clem” Clemson, from Bakerloo.) They were very good, too. Buddy Miles eight piece band delivered a blistering set that was noticeable for the tightness of the rhythm section, Buddy Miles being complemented by Ronald Johnson on bass.
Alexis did not kick up a storm but Dr Isiah Ross who followed him, essentially a one man band – managed to deliver the goods. When Alexis Korner and band ( Peter Thorup, Ian Wallace, Boz and Mel Collins ) opened up his set was marred by heavy rain after only a few numbers. This was perhaps fortunate as the smallish audience was on the receiving end of some of the worst weather. The organizers were going to end up with a loss of 100.000 pounds., having forgotten that ticket sellers know a dozen ways to line their own pockets and that pass out tickets can be resold with ease.įridays nights lineup was a pretty spartan one, with no really big name bands featuring.

No more than 40, 000 people came and many of them did not stick out the full four days. The word was they would be lucky to break even. The people running the concession stands looked worried and came on with the hard sell. A large marquee ( circus tent ) had collapsed and been abandoned. The roof of the main stage consisted of polyethylene sheets held up by a crane. The number of artists appearing is pretty huge and features some bands that went on to become major artists in the latter half of the 70s and beyond, There were also many worthy artists such as Rory Gallagher, Humble Pie and The Incredible String Band, compared to festivals such as the Isle of Wight or Bath there were not as many big names that would draw fans from the far corners of the country to attend. The Official Bootleg Collection Volume 2 is a raw testament to what this band did best playing bluesy, gutsy, soulful hard rock, live on stage.ĭrawn from a variety of mainly audience recordings that have previously only been available as “under the counter” pirate releases, this is an honest, often unforgiving, tribute to a classic and much missed ’70s supergroup. Housed in a gatefold sleeve, the artwork features two essays, one of which is based on new interviews with Humble Pie drummer, Jerry Shirley. All tracks have been included for their historical importance, and to present an anthology of Humble Pie live on stage from 1971- 1981. Whilst every effort has been made to produce the best possible audio, limitations in the material drawn from various, non-standard, and un-official sources means that the quality may not be up to the standard usually expected.

The extemporisations of “Performance: Rockin’ The Filmore” became the basis for much of Humble Pie’s live repertoire for the remainder of the 1970s, but this 1971 New York show does include their unique take of Eddie Cochran’s ‘C’mon Everybody’ and ‘I Wonder’ from the soon to be released “Smokin’” LP. Frampton left in 1971 for a highly successful solo career, replaced by Colosseum’s Clem Clempson, and it was this line-up that was captured in New York in 1971 at one of Clem’s first shows with the Pie. Originally emerging from the remnants The Small Faces, Humble Pie formed in 1969 when guitarist and vocalist Steve Marriott joined forces with Peter Frampton, drummer Jerry Shirley and bassist Greg Ridley, and began their assent to conquering the theatres and then arenas of North America, culminating in 1972’s double live “Performance: Rockin’ The Filmore”.
