HUMBLE PIE

Je dois posséder en vinyl le Rockin' The Fillmore et deux autres live . Et vous ?

Hello j'ai "Street Rats" - "Smokin" - et le fameux "Fhunderbox" en vinyl Import avec le trou de serrure en relief et une vieille compil' avec "Natural Born Boogie" et" Desesperation"
Vu en concert en '74 et Steve Marriott en solo avec Jerry Shirley en '89
Peter Frampton en concert en '96 puis voulait le voir en 2002 à Basel (j'ai vu le sound-check mais apres son guitariste Bob Mayo est décédé d'une crise cardiaque à l'hotel et le gig annulé)

Bob Mayo : quel guitariste brillant ce fut .

Magnifique Groupe, l'un de mes préférés et je suis un fan presque Absolu de STEVE MARRIOTT que je considére comme un Bluesman hors pair et trop injustement qq peut oublié de nos jours.
Je ne posséde pas l'intégralité de la disco des Tartes humble car aprés 1972 et le "Smokin'" HUMBLE PIE perd tout ce qui faisait son talent: Compositions superbes, une sens aigu de la amélodie et du Blues...je dirais même que le groupe pert littéralement son âme.

si non les albums tels que: "As Safe As Yesterday Is" (le premier de 69), "Town and Country", et surtout les "Humble Pie" de 70 et le "Rock On" de 71 font partie des joyaux du Blues-rock des années 70, le groupe est au sommet de son art - ce qui d'ailleurs peut ce vérifier à l'écoute du "Performance Rockin' the Fillmore" sortit en 71.

Une formation qui était à cette période certainement l'une des meilleures au monde, un STEVE MARRIOTT qui sans nul avait vendu son ame au diable pour avoir cette fibre, ce feeling de bluesman que peut de "blancs" ont atteind un jour dans leur vie...et puis il y a également le talent de Peter Frampton, car il est vrai qu'aprés son départ le groupe se "destructure", sans jamais s'en remettre.

STEVE MARRIOTT qui nous à quitté en 91....un musicien d'un immensse talent mort bêtement et prématurément....

Les deux albums indispenssables du Humble Pie....des chefs d'oeuvres:

le boot live at Whisky a gogo est également une pure merveille !!

HUMBLE PIE’S ROCKIN’ THE FILLMORE COMING FROM OMNIVORE RECORDINGS AS A FOUR-DISC SET ON OCTOBER 29

One of the world’s greatest live albums is now four times greater. Mixed under the supervision of members Peter Frampton and Jerry Shirley.

LOS ANGELES, Calif. — When Steve Marriott left the Small Faces (Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Class of 2012) to launch a new band in 1968, expectations were high. Marriott teamed with 18-year-old guitarist Peter Frampton, already a U.K. star through his work with The Herd, along with bassist Greg Ridley from Spooky Tooth, and 17-year-old drummer Jerry Shirley, who Steve Marriott had used as a session player for Andrew Loog Oldham’s Immediate Record Label. Humble Pie recorded four albums and several singles before achieving its U.S. breakthrough with 1971’s double-live set Performance: Rockin’ the Fillmore.

Drawn from four shows played over two consecutive nights at Bill Graham’s legendary Fillmore East, Performance captured a red-hot band firing on all cylinders, distilling the crowd-pleasing heavy blues-rock style that had come to dominate the Brit foursome’s repertoire, and which would help to lay the foundation for the sound that would soon become known as heavy metal. Performance caught on in a big way with American listeners, hitting #21 on the U.S. album chart and becoming the Pie’s first Gold album.

Now, for the first time, Omnivore Recordings has gathered all four shows from Humble Pie’s historic Fillmore East stand in this lovingly packaged four-CD box set. No editing or re-sequencing took place — just the four sets exactly as they were played on May 28 and 29, 1971. The seven tracks that comprised the original album are joined here by 15 previously unissued performances — including the never-before-heard complete first set from May 28.

“My God, it just took my breath away,” Shirley said of hearing the new mixes by engineer Ashley Shepherd. “You feel like you’re sitting in the Fillmore East, five or six rows back. In the quiet bits, you could hear a pin drop, and in the loud bits, you can almost feel the room shaking. And all four shows caught Steve at the absolute zenith of his powers. It’s astonishing. I’m only sorry that he, Greg, and Dee aren’t around to enjoy it with the rest of us.”

Frampton also praises the vastly improved audio quality, and was especially happy to revisit the material that wasn’t used on the original LP. “It’s like a breath of fresh air after listening to one particular version,” he says. “The beauty of it is that you get three other completely different performances of most of the songs. And it’s great to hear Steve’s banter from all of the shows. We’ve lived with [imitates Marriott] ‘It’s really been a gas!’ for 40-odd years, and now there’s more.”

The deluxe compilation was produced by Frampton and Shirley with A&R coordination from Bill Levenson and Cheryl Pawelski containing detailed liner notes by Tim Cohan. The original engineer was multi-Grammy Award winner Eddie Kramer.

Ce "Rockin'The Fillmore" chez moi n'a pas dépassé le stade de vinyl, je vais peut-être me laisser tenter.......
Le concert de Steve Marriott en solo que j'ai vu c'était en '87 et non en '89 comme indiqué plus haut. Ce même concert a paru en DVD: (tres mauvaise image mais tres grand souvenir)
