Humble Pie’s ‘Rockin’ the Fillmore’ Gets Boxed



Source Link

Humble Pie‘s 1971 double live album ‘Performance: Rockin’ the Fillmore’ finally broke the British rock band in the U.S. after a couple years of missing the charts. The record reached No. 21 and gave the band the shot it needed to push forward.



On Oct. 29, an expanded version of that album will be released as a four-disc box set that gathers all four shows at New York’s legendary Fillmore East from which the original 1971 record was culled.

Humble Pie — featuring Steve Marriott, Peter Frampton, Greg Ridley and Jerry Shirley — had already released four albums and a handful of singles when they played the Fillmore on May 28 and 29, 1971. They tore through four shows, blazing songs like Dr. John’s ‘I Walk on Gilded Splinters’ (which they stretched out to more than 25 minutes onstage) and ‘I Don’t Need No Doctor,’ originally recorded by Ray Charles, with blues-rock intensity. (The live version of ‘Doctor’ became the band’s first hit, peaking at No. 73.)

The new box collects the entire run of shows and includes the original album’s seven songs plus 15 previously unreleased performances. None of the tracks from the first show made it to the 1971 LP. The box set’s remastered mix was supervised by Shirley and Frampton, who says in a press release, “It’s like a breath of fresh air .”

The term 'Supergroup' is bandied about a lot in the music press these days, and it just means a bunch of guys who have been in other bands. Back in the early '70s was when the term was first coined, when individuals from high profile bands, who had split, formed a new band. Humble Pie was one, as was Blind Faith. These bands were short-lived. The reality was you had four or five highly skilled and talented individuals trying to pull the band in their own personal direction, and in the end they all just piss each other off. At the time it initially looked great for the fans, but it just didn't work.

Actually Humble Pie were around for a pretty good amount of time and it worked awesomely.
One the best bands to come out of 69 and make their musical mark on the 70s.

Yep, but Frampton was away pretty quick, which kind of illustrates my point. Steve Marriot will be forever remembered for his part in The Small Faces, not Humble Pie.

The Small Faces were the short lived band ...pun intended

Clem Clemson was a more then capable replacement for Frampton and I perfer his playing style anyway
SMOKIN' Clems first album with them is their stand out anyway... not that I don't enjoy the rest of their catalog for the most part....
Awesome stuff.


By you perhaps... there were plenty of Pie fans at this site before it became (somewhat) dead....I know I was here under a different name.


HUMBLE PIE .... not for the wallmart t shirt classic rock fan.

I Don't Need No Doctor .

Showing off The Pies amazing live capabilities !!!! If this doesn't get your ass rockin you're either dead or close to it.

Ditto on the live Humble Pie, and everything else you said Vader. I couldn't say anything negative about them if I tried. Just a great blues based rock band, without all the glitz and hype.
