Humble Pie was one of the best rock and roll bands ever. Steve Marriot was said to be one of the best white soul singers, ever! He gave it everything he had. We miss you Steve. Awesome band! Thanks Fil.
Thank you so much Fil. I'm a little obsessed by Steve Marriot. I can't believe he is not more of a household name. Other than his obvious talent, I love his generosity and connection to the music. You rarely see him hog the limelight. You can see his focus is getting the best performance out there and he wants to share that experience with the most people he can. With a band strong enough to match him, their live performances were just something truly special. Always the Artful Dodger, you couldn't help but love Steve, faults and all.
I always thought that he was ahead of the curve and not on it and thus doesn't get the stardom recognition but a TON of cred. Fil even mentions it here with the search for his sound with Led Zeppelin.
Same. I'm still obsessed with Steve Marriott. Amazing vocalist, multi-talented. Great front man. And you're right, even with his demons/faults, there's just something about him...gotta love him. So charasmatic. I'm sure he's rockin the heavens.
To me, Humble Pie were so organic they were better live than recorded or simply jamming and improvising. I mean, what they did with "For Your Love" was incredibly cool and chilled. Steve's voice is biblical, and the group mega talented. It's such a privilege to watch real artists play. Perfectly executed, spot on Fil.
Jerry Shirley on drums was still only 19 here. This was a great era for music, I was 16 when this was filmed so I'd already been a Small Faces fan in the previous few years. Fantastic musicians seemed to be everywhere in those days.
This is a shout out to Fil: You are a great story teller (of the truth) and an exceptionally fine guitar player. And your neutral way of explaining the different topics is so refreshing. Every time I watch one of your videos, I learn something new. Thank you!
I agree, but I'm obsessed with Steve Marriott, even after all these years. He was so incredibly multi talented....vocals, guitar, harmonica, organ, drums. Excellent front man. So much energy and charisma.

Steve Marriott is gold. Great band as well. So much power and energy. Great job using this song and the lead lines to provide as much as you did with blues guitar. Thanks Fil.
Met Steve back in 80 when they played in MI. Just so happens my cousin was a bartender at the bar in the hotel the band stayed in. She needed couple days off to go out of town and asked if I could fill in for her, so I did. Was really slow night and he walked in and sat down ordering a cubra libre in thick Brit accent. Not some heard at all around Detroit, British accent or a rum and coke ordered that way! Took a couple repeats, we both laughed after I figured out what the hell he wanted. Just me and him in bar so we had pretty good talk and he went to play and I found out next day they got kicked out for trashing the hotel, lol. But nice guy, and we had pretty good talk while there. Night I won't forget. Would've liked to party with him a bit but I was about 7 mos. pregnant at time so had to be good! But a great memory. RIP Steve.
OMG Fil!! I was in grade 8 in 1971 when a classmate told me about this band and their landmark recording rocking the Filmore. Three vinyl copies later, this album still shines as the greatest live rock album ever recorded. Steve was a gem of a singer!! So much passion and conviction. This version of rolling stone and your insightful analysis make this one of your greatest and most important videos! 😀
Hands down, my favorite singer of all time. Okay, I lied, sometimes Sam Cooke is my favorite. Although I will say, I think vocally Steve was at his prime in his Small Faces days.
I also love Steve's voice when he was in Small Faces - stunning, it sometimes gave me goosebumps. Although I also love Humble Pie, I don't understand why Steve seems to have purposely changed his voice and singing style. In his book, Kenney Jones (drummer Small Faces) also disapproves, saying he felt Steve sang that way as he may have felt that was the way a rocker was supposed to sound. Still, Steve is my all time favorite singer. No one sings the blues/soul/rock the way Steve does. RIP
@@colinmartin2921 I think it is very likely that Steve's vices - heavy smoker, snorting cocaine, heavy drinking, generally abusing his little body took a toll on his voice .Even he admitted that he had to stop singing songs like "Hot and Nasty" because he couldn't hit the high notes any more. However it may be the "high pitched shouter" that offends you may be a style choice as well. Steve sang in so many different voices - its hard to believe the same guy sang Itchicoo Park and I Don't Need No Dr. Steve himself said that once something becomes formula, he gets bored with it and wants to change it all up. I love Steve as an artist, but must agree that I don't like everything he did. I did not like his "James Brown Funky" period that began with "Eat It" album, however, after the Pie split up and Steve went solo, did some very soulful blues songs. The following is one of my favorites from his first solo album "Marriott": ua-cam.com/video/sETx33gOrmc/v-deo.html Help Me Through The Day Steve Marriott
You want to talk 'intensity' in vocals? Nobody even came close to Marriott. He even had a lot more going for him than just sheer vocal ferocity and almost unhinged expressiveness. Plant in "Since I've been... "? Sure, it might have brought us just a touch more light and shade, Dewar in "Bridge of sighs"? perhaps a bucketload of genuinely majestic poetic gravitas, but for me, even the iconic Rodgers, flawless as ever in "All right now", was just another Mariott bereft of that signature Stevie tsunami of wonderfully over the top excessive vocal onslaught. Incomparable magic.
Saw them 4-5 times back in this era. Always a great show. I remember being in the front row at Berkeley, my ears rang for days! Thanks for this Fil, brings back great memories and great friends.
For sure Fil, one of the most enjoyable and educational videos that you have posted! Keep draggin out that guitar and showing use how it is done. I have loved Humble Pie since I discovered "The blues" in the 70's I just never knew why until this video, I guess I have never taken the time to research the band. For me the why for everything is what matters most. Again, THANK YOU out
LOVE Humble Pie! Steve Marriott was one of the BEST vocalists ever. Love hearing and seeing Peter Frampton before he was "Peter Frampton" , LOL! Thanks Fil!
I haven't visited you in a long while Fil, good to be back. I can tell you enjoyed this as much as I did, I saw the Pie in '73 opening for Black Sabbath. Nobody could rave up like Stevie RIP.
As You know Steve Marriott was name one of the best vocalist in Rock & Roll among his peer. Humble Pie left behind some great tracks. may peace be with you in the after life Steve! thanks for this one Fil.👍
Thank you SO much for this Fil! This track is from my favourite album of all time - I will never tire of listening to Frampton and Marriott bouncing off each other with those shapes and Marriott's voice.... but Ridley's bass - oh my word, that sound.... And I've been listening to it for nearly fifty years!! As always, your analysis is educational, fun and without fault. Too much...Rock on!
This is my wheelhouse professor ... One of the greatest bands of all time ..Steve ... Belts out the Blues Listen to that vocals... Incredible.... Peter has a nice tasty lead...
One of my favorite tunes of all time!!! Pure rock n roll !!! Live at Fillmore East is pound for pound the Best live rock album of all time! And I do mean that ! I’ve seen 100s of concerts. Rock on !!!! Glad your reviewing this. I am a rolling stone baby !!!
onsese joo I was watching a UA-cam of Cynthia of the Plaster Casters. Google it if you are not familiar with her. She made plaster casts of rock star penises. Out of all of her “subjects” she said Peter Frampton was the smallest.
Ever get the feeling you were born in the wrong decade, Fil? You'd have made the perfect 70s rocker. You're too skilled of a musician for this era where that skill isn't as valued.
I see Fil as a brilliant versatile musician who can identify with any kind of music, which shows with the sheer breadth of music he covers. Keep up the good work Fil
Fil, you came through here Brother, Thank You for doing Humble Pie, you made my day here, This band just Rocked, You Rock, R.I.P. to Steve , Thanks for playing your guitar again, A Happy Camper Here, I was fortunate to see them back then in Detroit, I was 16 years old, They ripped it up that night, Damn Steve could sing, Peter is playing his old Trusty Les Paul Here, Seing Humble Pie made me want to play Guitar, Cousin Figel
HP at the *Fil*more! You can't refuse to cover that..., *Fil* "And all of you people.......behind the glass plate.........at the back of the Hall... ARE YOU READY?".... Wonderful stuff.
Thanks for doing this video. The Pie ( as they called themselves) was and is one my favorite bands. I dont think I have seen this footage of them before and I thought I had seen them all. The first part starting at about 1:50 and going for the next couple minutes, is just in your face powerful vocals. I have always known he had a great voice that I loved, but when I see footage like this, it just cements it big time. Again, thank you to Wings of Pegasus for this great video and tutorial. Oh and BTW- Robert Plant idolized Steve Marriott, Robert said he had the best voice in rock back in those days.
This was recorded earlier in the day before they played Alexandria Roller Rink in Virginia. Saw this show. Steve Marriott is still in my opinion the greatest front man to ever be in a band. I formed my first band shortly after seeing this show.
For my money, this band was the best of both Marriot and Frampton. Taking nothing away from Frampton’s solo stuff, the way these two pushed and pulled each other was perfect. The rough and ready Marriot offset by the lyricism of Frampton’s playing and writing. Yin and Yang.
This was totally enjoyable. When making every note felt and the slow tempo leaves the space needed to allow expressions to entrance you, impress a depth of meaning that grips your emotions where the surreal becomes visceral and tangible. Yeah my brother... Fil Feels The Blues!!! 😎👍 🎶🔥💥🔥🎶
It’s hard to think of many other male vocalists who can sing with this sort of power and control. Incredible to think this is the same voice behind the mellow pop song Itchycoo Park, albeit Steve Marriott did sing the chorus of that song with some abandon. Some rather nice bends and vibrato by Fil on his Strat, it’s cool to see the blues man in him come to the fore.
Thanks for reviewing Humble Pie. I love a great raspy voice and Steve Marriott’s voice was one of the reasons I loved Humble Pie. They headlined the 1st live concert I saw when I was a teenager in 1973. I was shocked to find film shot at that actual concert at the Forum in LA posted as video here on UA-cam. I think they perform “I Don’t Need No Doctor” in the video. Frampton was gone in 1973, but Marriott’s performance was riveting. The video catches it fairly well.
OMG - time to change that. Such a deep well of wonderful music. Then check out Steve Marriott's former band "Small Faces", from the 1965-68 so a little more pop than rock, but absolutely brilliant. And Steve's singing was stunning.
Enjoyed this so much, realizing I'd totally missed out on Humble Pie back in the day. Your observations give me s great vantage point from which to enjoy rhem!
Hi, I found your channel when I was having a sentimental browse through videos of Glen Campbell. Loved his music & my first record purchase was an EP of True Grit in about 1970. Your analysis of Glen's guitar skills doing the Indianna home number was so interesting. I don't know anything about guitars but your discussion was so good it had me looking for others you had done. Will be catching up on the rest of your videos as much as possible. Thanks so much & best wishes from Sydney, Australia.
This is right up my alley Fil! Humble Pie....what a band! Steve Marriott...awesome pipes with the absolutely brilliant Peter Frampton! I could listen to this all day! Fantastic Fil! Cheers Mario! 😀🤘🤘👌
@@mevrammcoyoteV8f150 They were a British band ...(Steve Marriot had been in Small Faces with Rod Steewart.) But, they do have kind of am American sound!
@@lynndow3185 Rod Stewart was never in Small Faces. He did join the other 3 guys from that group to form Faces. Steve Marriott had already left the band by then. Steve did try to get Peter Frampton into Small Faces though. If I recall correctly that is why he (Steve) left the band. The other had said no to allowing Peter into the band.
I searched for Humble Pie and found "Black Coffee" (1973) Funny how you haven't thought of something in decades, but then, there it is...however, I'm absolutely positive that at sixteen we had no idea what he was singing about. I don't know what I would have thought about it either, but growing up in LA we probably would have thought it was cool. Especially, if we were the only ones who figured it out ;-) Check out the vid and Steve flirting up a storm with the Blackberries. 1973...Artful Dodger, indeed. Plus, I learned that they are NOT in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Criminal.
I grew up with humble pie and rockin the Fillmore. Fil describes so well why these guys were so good together. And also why frampton is still so good now. A side note, fil is pretty good himself and watching him play the major and minor (it’s spot on as he would say) pentatonic notes perfectly is a pretty good feat. Great analysis and also the version of rolling stone in rocking the Fillmore is the best one. Thanks again fil.
This is a great video of Marriot and Framton , performing ultimate blues version (learned from you Phil , its a Muddy W.. Tune) "Rolling Stone". And that so many ideas came fro this Humble Pie Jam . As Zeps R. Plant choice by Jimmy.. And magazine tittle and more . With this turning into a fretboard tech lesson on blues pattern , you out did your own standards. Love your show . We'll perform this tune today at Clarksdales Hambone Festival and Car Show. Thanks Fil . *****
I was fortunate to see Humble Pie live in the early 70s. Left quite an impression on me and I still listen their music. Marriott's voice is unforgettable.
Hey Phill! I enjoy your videos a great deal and I'm chuffed you're featuring Humble Pie!! My older brother was into them and at about the age of 12 or 13, I became a big fan of "The Pie" too. Probably the 1st band I ever loved, in fact. Around the same time, I was listening to The Faces. Of course, there's a connection there, right? There's a further connection from that Humble Pie/Small Faces/Faces contingent to the Who, when the great Kenney Jones replaced the departed Moonie! Let's not forget that Ronnie Wood migrated from that same bunch to become a Rolling Stone! Pretty much the only "legacy" bands left out are the Kinks & the Beatles - but Ringo & Moonie were pals and that might count! 😃
Fil . . . to this day the best concert I ever had opportunity to experience was Humble Pie at The Fillmore East in New York City. Certain bands just explode live & they were the best. I have seen countless groups such as the Who, Led Zep, Bebop Deluxe, 10 years after, Johnny Winter, Grand Funk, Journey, Jeff Beck, Cactus & literally hundreds more. There was a group of us from Yonkers who were very, very fortunate enough to be in the front row ( the tix were less that 7 dollars a piece back in the day). You can actually hear us on the live Fillmore album during Walk on Guilded Splinters with my friend's wine bottle rolling down the aisle. My jaw literally hit the ground at the way these four put together such an incredible sound. Also saw them at the Academy of Music several times as well as other venues & they were always incredible. I was very saddened by the loss of two of the founding members Marriott & Ridley but am so thankful I was able to experience what I consider the best of the best. After that 1st time seeing them I took up the guitar & never stopped to this day. Appreciate your review & analysis of their guitar work. Fil keep those great videos coming . . . . All the best & stay well !!!
Steve Marriott's voice was one of the greatest in rock music. It could strip the paint off the wall at the back of the hall. RIP Steve and Greg Ridley.
he was special
If I remember rightly they wanted him to front Led Zep. Oh ... you just said it.

You can't refuse to cover that..., *Fil*
"And all of you people.......behind the glass plate.........at the back of the Hall... ARE YOU READY?"....
Wonderful stuff.
Love that line!
Fri.night May 28th 1971 late show,Damn right I was ready! Rock On!
Saw them twice - Gods of hard rock.
30 Days in The Hole..
..rockin' song off of Smokin' LP.Love all your info/analysis of 70 's music!
Thanks for doing this video. The Pie ( as they called themselves) was and is one my favorite bands. I dont think I have seen this footage of them before and I thought I had seen them all. The first part starting at about 1:50 and going for the next couple minutes, is just in your face powerful vocals. I have always known he had a great voice that I loved, but when I see footage like this, it just cements it big time. Again, thank you to Wings of Pegasus for this great video and tutorial. Oh and BTW- Robert Plant idolized Steve Marriott, Robert said he had the best voice in rock back in those days.
This was recorded earlier in the day before they played Alexandria Roller Rink in Virginia. Saw this show. Steve Marriott is still in my opinion the greatest front man to ever be in a band. I formed my first band shortly after seeing this show.
@Kenneth Harrison , I think both he and the great Paul Rogers of Free are equals there
For my money, this band was the best of both Marriot and Frampton. Taking nothing away from Frampton’s solo stuff, the way these two pushed and pulled each other was perfect. The rough and ready Marriot offset by the lyricism of Frampton’s playing and writing. Yin and Yang.
You can't stop being a teacher, bravo, and well done, thanks for the vid Fil, also Humble Pie in the mix. :D
Man.....Stevie was my favorite! What a soulful voice. Thanks for a great vid!!!!
This was totally enjoyable.
When making every note felt and the slow tempo leaves the space needed to allow expressions to entrance you, impress a depth of meaning that grips your emotions where the surreal becomes visceral and tangible.
Yeah my brother...
Fil Feels The Blues!!!
😎👍 🎶🔥💥🔥🎶
It’s hard to think of many other male vocalists who can sing with this sort of power and control. Incredible to think this is the same voice behind the mellow pop song Itchycoo Park, albeit Steve Marriott did sing the chorus of that song with some abandon. Some rather nice bends and vibrato by Fil on his Strat, it’s cool to see the blues man in him come to the fore.
His range just kept improving up until 1975 when they disbanded.
Unlike Robert Plant whose vocal range deteriorated quickly after 1971
Thanks for reviewing Humble Pie. I love a great raspy voice and Steve Marriott’s voice was one of the reasons I loved Humble Pie. They headlined the 1st live concert I saw when I was a teenager in 1973. I was shocked to find film shot at that actual concert at the Forum in LA posted as video here on UA-cam. I think they perform “I Don’t Need No Doctor” in the video. Frampton was gone in 1973, but Marriott’s performance was riveting. The video catches it fairly well.
Frampton left in early 71.
Love Humble Pie. Man. You look like Jerry Shirley. The drummer of HP hahaha
Wow, these guys are great. I've heard of them but never actually listened to their music before. Time to change that!
OMG - time to change that. Such a deep well of wonderful music. Then check out Steve Marriott's former band "Small Faces", from the 1965-68 so a little more pop than rock, but absolutely brilliant. And Steve's singing was stunning.
I've got so much to learn! I never knew much about Humble Pie except for "30 Days in the Hole". Cool!
My formative years. Thanks Fil for the memories!
Enjoyed this so much, realizing I'd totally missed out on Humble Pie back in the day. Your observations give me s great vantage point from which to enjoy rhem!
👍
Hi, I found your channel when I was having a sentimental browse through videos of Glen Campbell. Loved his music & my first record purchase was an EP of True Grit in about 1970. Your analysis of Glen's guitar skills doing the Indianna home number was so interesting. I don't know anything about guitars but your discussion was so good it had me looking for others you had done. Will be catching up on the rest of your videos as much as possible. Thanks so much & best wishes from Sydney, Australia.
Thanks!
Excellent analysis Fil. I personally really enjoyed this one . 👌
Thanks!
Steve Marriot and Humble Pie taught us all how to ROCK! Nice work on this analysis Fil, as always.
This is right up my alley Fil! Humble Pie....what a band! Steve Marriott...awesome pipes with the absolutely brilliant Peter Frampton! I could listen to this all day! Fantastic Fil! Cheers Mario! 😀🤘🤘👌
I think Steve was a plantation worker in a past life. Great analysis! 👍
Humble Pie was certainly a party favourite ! I’ve likely got an album in a box somewhere in the basement. Nice demo.Brilliant stuff !
My favorite band; love the Pie.
Great analysis and demos. Thank you
It was like he was mad at the microphone man! Love it!
Cool! I always wanted to know more about Humble Pie...always read about them as an early Super-Group!
Lynn..I don't know if these guys are Englishers or Americans..their sound threads the line with the influences of both countries.
@@mevrammcoyoteV8f150 They were a British band ...(Steve Marriot had been in Small Faces with Rod Steewart.) But, they do have kind of am American sound!
@@lynndow3185 Rod Stewart was never in Small Faces. He did join the other 3 guys from that group to form Faces. Steve Marriott had already left the band by then. Steve did try to get Peter Frampton into Small Faces though. If I recall correctly that is why he (Steve) left the band. The other had said no to allowing Peter into the band.
@@mevrammcoyoteV8f150 They were all English
I searched for Humble Pie and found "Black Coffee" (1973) Funny how you haven't thought of something in decades, but then, there it is...however, I'm absolutely positive that at sixteen we had no idea what he was singing about. I don't know what I would have thought about it either, but growing up in LA we probably would have thought it was cool. Especially, if we were the only ones who figured it out ;-) Check out the vid and Steve flirting up a storm with the Blackberries. 1973...Artful Dodger, indeed. Plus, I learned that they are NOT in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Criminal.
Humble Pie isn't in the Hall of Fame, but Steve went in with the Small Faces.
Rock n Roll hall of fame is overrated. I will always carry the greats in my own "Hall of Fame'
The bands that aren't in the HOF make up a fine HoF themselves. ABBA is in it for fucks sake...ABBA!?
Peter Frampton deserves a spot. Criminal that he hasn’t gotten one yet.
I grew up with humble pie and rockin the Fillmore. Fil describes so well why these guys were so good together. And also why frampton is still so good now. A side note, fil is pretty good himself and watching him play the major and minor (it’s spot on as he would say) pentatonic notes perfectly is a pretty good feat. Great analysis and also the version of rolling stone in rocking the Fillmore is the best one. Thanks again fil.
Super jam, no bullshit raw and uncompromising badass blues.
I have the Smokin' album. Still sounds great. Steve had a very powerful voice for a little guy.
Raw blues sound - I love it. I really appreciate your demonstrations and history with all your analyses.
Thanks!
Exellent... 👏👏👏👏🎸🎸🎸👍👍👍👍🌟⭐🌟⭐🎤🎤✔✔✔🎼🎵🎶♩🎼🎵👌👌✊🤘
This is a phenomenally good lesson!
Good one. Steve Marriott was such a great singer. I think HP's Four Day Creep is one of my favorite songs.
Great analysis & ax lesson. Thanks Teacher Fil.
Steve Marriott's range just kept improving after this, as good as this is, he could belt even higher between 1972-1975.
Thank you , mann. Your explication is amazing, and enjoyable. So cool to hear you love Steve Marriot. One of the greats. Humble Pie were giants.
This is a great video of Marriot and Framton , performing ultimate blues version (learned from you Phil , its a Muddy W.. Tune) "Rolling Stone". And that so many ideas came fro this Humble Pie Jam . As Zeps R. Plant choice by Jimmy.. And magazine tittle and more . With this turning into a fretboard tech lesson on blues pattern , you out did your own standards.
Love your show . We'll perform this tune today at Clarksdales Hambone Festival and Car Show. Thanks Fil . *****
Steve Marriott showed his vocal skills the most in The Small Faces IMO his energy and spirit as well
Saw them at U of I student center in 1971.......sat on floor right in front of band.........Wow ....cost $2.50 !!
Excellent analysis as always!!
Thanks!
I was fortunate to see Humble Pie live in the early 70s. Left quite an impression on me and I still listen their music. Marriott's voice is unforgettable.
Hey Phill! I enjoy your videos a great deal and I'm chuffed you're featuring Humble Pie!! My older brother was into them and at about the age of 12 or 13, I became a big fan of "The Pie" too. Probably the 1st band I ever loved, in fact. Around the same time, I was listening to The Faces. Of course, there's a connection there, right? There's a further connection from that Humble Pie/Small Faces/Faces contingent to the Who, when the great Kenney Jones replaced the departed Moonie! Let's not forget that Ronnie Wood migrated from that same bunch to become a Rolling Stone! Pretty much the only "legacy" bands left out are the Kinks & the Beatles - but Ringo & Moonie were pals and that might count! 😃
Fil . . . to this day the best concert I ever had opportunity to experience was Humble Pie at The Fillmore East in New York City. Certain bands just explode live & they were the best. I have seen countless groups such as the Who, Led Zep, Bebop Deluxe, 10 years after, Johnny Winter, Grand Funk, Journey, Jeff Beck, Cactus & literally hundreds more. There was a group of us from Yonkers who were very, very fortunate enough to be in the front row ( the tix were less that 7 dollars a piece back in the day). You can actually hear us on the live Fillmore album during Walk on Guilded Splinters with my friend's wine bottle rolling down the aisle. My jaw literally hit the ground at the way these four put together such an incredible sound. Also saw them at the Academy of Music several times as well as other venues & they were always incredible. I was very saddened by the loss of two of the founding members Marriott & Ridley but am so thankful I was able to experience what I consider the best of the best. After that 1st time seeing them I took up the guitar & never stopped to this day. Appreciate your review & analysis of their guitar work. Fil keep those great videos coming . . . . All the best & stay well !!!
That was great, Fil!
Thanks so much!!! I love Humble Pie 🎶♥️👌
