Humble Pie.............to make the day go right.

Here's a littles Ridley and Marriot on vocals to put some soul in your night. Two masterful voices that blended so well together.

R.I.P Steve and Greg. You are gone but not forgotten. Here's one of their best together IMO.

Good morning good start to the day........

And to put a jolt in your coffee.............

Here's a little fuel for your drive to work Scotty.............

Rum and iced tea?

How about Black Coffee?

Oh yeah

Really good stuff. Flawed, but utterly fantastic, Stevie was the best.

Agreed Mark, but no more flawed than the Stones IMHO and and I reckon they had all the right stuff to be huge. Their record label "Immediate" was a disaster borne out by the fact that it went under when every other label was making a killing. Still not bad for a Mod band with a severe case of infectious R&B.

Steve could sing the phone book. This band could do it all and live they just ripped other bands apart. Again it's too bad that their record label and producers made such a bad job of recording one of the hottest and most dynamic bands of the era. They did the same thing to the sound of The Who if you think back. I Can't Explain was timid compared to their live performance of the same song.

A&M did a much better job with Smokin' but still they settled for a lot of raw sounding tracks. I don't mind the lack of polish myself but the buying public did not propel these guys to the heights that they should have attained.

True. Steve had a succession of poor deals with "bad luck" appearing in many different guises and yet he remained fiercely loyal to his managers. If quality alone ruled he would have been a millionaire 10 times over, the voice is just superb and the guitar playing weren't bad either.

Thanks for posting. Good stuff ! The Pie were one of the best, who may not have received the just rewards and mass-market coverage of some other bands from that era.

My first real rock concert was seeing Humble Pie, in 1971, with Glass Harp opening for them.
