San Francisco 1973, Winterland. My favourite live show ever!! Steve Marriott was a pure powerful soul singer, screaming his heart out over 1973's heaviest group. Loads of distortion, amps turned to ten and kept the tone. Not only that but with legendary back up singers. I did love Frampton but he couldn't do heavy like Clem, obviously one of Slashs biggest influences. Dynamically great live and it was nice to see one of the heavy rock bands not just do guitar solos and drum solos for fifteen minutes but to work a number of different songs into breakdowns and jams. Frampton had a massive influence over the band during their more melodic days but their last three 70s albums have that Marriott shit kicking rock side to them. One of the only if not the only heavy rock band to share vocals out, Big George, Shine On, Natural Born Woman, Big Back Dog. Even the young Jerry Shirley had a lead track and he was ridiculously young but I guess playing with Barrett from Pink Floyd gives you all you need to make it as a musician.
